Expression Pedal
The rear panel of the BP50 includes an input for an expression pedal. Any passive volume
pedal can be used as an expression pedal with the BP50. Connect from the output of a
passive volume pedal to the Expression Pedal Input on the BP50. The expression pedal
controls the BP50’s Volume,Wah, or Whammy™ parameters. If Wah and Whammy are
disabled, the expression pedal functions as a volume pedal. If the Wah or Whammy™
effects are enabled, the expression pedal control these effects.

The BP50 includes 30 sampled drum patterns plus a metronome pattern that are useful for
developing a good sense of timing. Press the Drums button to enter Drums mode and start
playback of the drum loop (except when in Store or Bypass mode). In Drums mode, the
Edit buttons selects the drum Pattern, Tempo, and Level of the drum loop. Press the Drums
button again to stop playback of the drum loop.
Global Cabinet Modeling
The BP50 includes cabinet modeling that can be enabled on all presets when running it into
a mixer, recording device, or when using it with headphones. This feature emulates a
speaker cabinet connected to each of the amp models in all presets. Each amp model has a
specific cabinet model that optimizes its sound when using the BP50 in this manner. To
enable Cabinet Modeling:
1. Press and hold the DRUMS button when applying power to the BP50. Wait until the
display reads Cabinet On. Release the Drums button.
