Section-6 The J-12 Foot Controller
Configuring the Pedalboard
The optional Johnson Amplification J-12 foot controller can help you get the most out of your Millennium. Since the J-12 talks to the Millennium using a proprietary communication protocol, it offers better response time and capabilities not available with convention MIDI pedalboard controllers.
The J-12 includes 12 footswitches for preset and parameter control. It also features 2 built-in Expression Pedals. The large 20 character display constantly feeds you important information such as Preset names, CC links and Tuner indicators.
Note: All Pedalboard functions involved in the next section also apply to the Digitech Control One Foot Controller
Connecting the Johnson Amplification J-12 Foot Controller
The J-12 uses a standard 5-pin DIN cable (like those used for MIDI) to communicate with the Millennium. Simply connect the J-12 output jack to the Millennium Input jack (when the unit is powered down) and you’re ready to roll!
NOTE: Never plug anything other than the J-12 into the Millennium's Foot Controller input jack. (Voltage is present at this jack).
Expression Pedal Names
With the Millennium being able to accommodate up to 4 Expression pedals, the pedal names change if the J-12 is used. The Names are as follows:
Exp1 = Expression pedal 1 input on the rear of Millennium, when the J-12 is not connected.
Exp2 = Expression pedal 2 input on the rear of the Millennium, when the J-12 is not connected.
Exp1 = Expression pedal 1 on the J-12 (When the J-12 is connected).
Exp2 = Expression pedal 2 on the J-12 (When the J-12 is Connected).
Exp3 = Expression pedal 1 input on the rear of Millennium, when the J-12 is connected.
Exp4 = Expression pedal 2 input on the rear of the Millennium, when the J-12 is connected.
