Footswitch and Expression Pedal Inputs Control
When connecting the Footswitch Input to the optional DigiTech® FS3X or GNXFC 3-button
footswitch, you must define what each of the 3 footswitches control. In the Global I/O Setup of the
Main Menu, there are the available function definitions for Footswitch 1, Footswitch 2 and Footswitch
3. Note that these 3 parameter definitions are globally applied to all presets.
When using the Expression Pedal, you must first define the expression pedal type that you have
connected to the Expression Pedal Input in the MIDI/Expr Pdl Setup menu. Second, you must
assign the Expression Pedal to one of the 16 Controllers in the MIDI/Expr Pdl Setup menu. Unlike
the Footswitch, the Expression Pedal control definitions are defined as part of the stored preset
definition. This means that now you have the ability to alter what the Expression Pedal controls with
each preset. This is done by assigning Preset Expression Links to the Expression Pedal Controller.
Since this is a preset parameter, you must remember to store the altered preset once the controller
assignment is complete.
