Chapter 6 Setting the External Pedal Functions

This section describes the settings required to use an expression pedal or foot switch connected to the EXP PEDAL/CTL1,2 jack on the rear panel.

If you want the external pedal to have the same function at all times

In situations such as when you want to use the expression pedal only as a volume pedal, you can set the external pedal function as a global setting common to the GS-10 overall.

“Expression Pedal Function” (refer to right)

“Control 1, 2 Function” (p. 59)

If you want the external pedal function to change with the patch

If you want the external pedal to function differently depending on the patch, perhaps using the expression pedal to change the volume in one patch, but using it to adjust the amount of overdrive distortion in another patch, then use the “Assign” settings.

In each patch you can set up to eight different types (Assign numbers) determining which parameter is to be controlled by a particular controller.

In addition, you can use the “Assign” function to set controllers using Control Change messages from external MIDI devices.

“Assign” (p. 60)

When using an expression pedal or foot switch with the “Assign” settings, set the Expression pedal Function or Control 1 or 2 Function setting to “Assign 1-8.”

When Pedal Wah and Pedal Bend are switched off, the pedal automatically operates as a “foot volume” pedal.

Used as the controller set in the Assign (p. 60) for each patch.

Foot Volume:

Used as a “foot volume” pedal.

Patch Level:

Used as a patch level controller.

Pedal Wah:

Used as a “pedal wah” when Pedal Wah is on.
