Assigning the Wah

As you can see, assigning the Expression Pedal to control a parameter is a very simple process. The most common mistake made when assigning the expression pedal is failing to access the specific parameter before pressing the Assign button. If for instance you want to assign the pedal to control the Wah, Step number 1 listed above is to press the Preamp button until you have accessed the Wah effect module. Step number two can be omitted because there is only one page of Wah parameters. Step number three would be pressing the number 2 parameter button to access the Wah pedal position parameter. Then continue with steps 4 through 7.

Assigning the Morph or Volume

Assigning the Expression pedal to control volume, or to morph between Tube and Solid State Distortion types uses the steps listed above as well, but you will find the Morph parameter on page two of the Configuration page. So, step 1 is pressing the Effects button which will access the Configuration page. Step is pressing the Next Page button to access page 2 of 2. Step 3 is to use the number 3 parameter button to access the pedal function. There are three possibilities for this parameter:

Pre Digital - When the Expression Pedal is set to control Volume, this selection will control the volume before the Digital Effects. Post Digital - When the Expression Pedal is set to control Volume, this selection will control the volume after the Digital Effects. Morphing - This selection will allow you to Morph between the Tube and Solid State Distortions of the Preamp.

Rotate the Data Wheel to make your selection. Then follow steps 4 through 7 listed above.

The Digital Effect configuration will make a difference in the way that the morphing function responds in relation to the Digital Effects. The following block diagrams show the signal flow for each type of configuration when morphing is assigned to the Expression Pedal.

Split/Parallel Configuration

Series

In the Series configuration, the left and right outputs of the Tube and Solid State Distortions get summed together at the output of the morphing section. A monaural signal is then fed into the Digital Effects which will provide the stereo imagine.
