EXPRESSION PEDALS
AMPLIFIRE supports up to two standard expression pedals to allow real-time control
of parameters using foot pedals via the effects loop jacks.
AMPLIFIRE12 supports up to two standard expression pedals via dedicated
expression pedal inputs.
SPECIAL CABLING (AMPLIFIRE ONLY)
To enable expression pedals you will need a special adapter cable to connect your
expression pedals to AMPLIFIRE.
This adapter is available through Atomic Amps, or you can build your own with
standard 1/4” adapters. Alternatively, you might want to assemble your own.
The connections you need are:
• Connect the SEND JACK (TIP) to both RINGS of the EXPRESSION PEDALS. (If using
only one expression pedal, then connect the SEND JACK (TIP) to the RING of the
single EXPRESSION PEDAL only).
• Connect the TIP of EXPRESSION PEDAL “A” to the RIGHT RETURN JACK (TIP).
• Connect the TIP of EXPRESSION PEDAL “B” to the LEFT RETURN JACK (TIP). (only
if using a second expression pedal.
• ALL SLEEVES CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER (for shielding).
With these connections, you can adapt expression pedals for use with AMPLIFIRE’s
FX LOOP.
ENABLING EXPRESSION PEDAL MODE
(AMPLIFIRE ONLY)
Once your expression pedals are connected to AMPLIFIRE you must set the EFFECTS
LOOP to EXPRESSION mode.
Go to the EFFECTS LOOP menu and choose EXPRESSION mode from the choices.
