Fender Mustang GTX Series - EXP-1 Expression Pedal Control; EXP-1 Pedal Modes and Setup; Assigning EXP-1 to Presets

The EXP-1 Expression Pedal is a dual-mode foot controller that enables the
user to control master volume (“Volume” mode) and various amp and eect
parameters (“Expression” mode).
Switch between Volume and Expression modes by stepping on the toe
switch (at the top of the pedal). Red and green LEDs indicate the mode in
use. Volume mode—indicated by the green LED—controls master volume
or can be turned o. Expression mode—indicated by the red LED—con-
trols many Mustang GTX eect parameters such as wah eect frequencies,
modulation eect rates, etc.
To set up the EXP-1 for use, connect it to the footswitch jack on the back of the amplier, turn the amp on.
Press the MENU utility button on the amp and use the ENCODER to scroll to and select “FOOTSWITCH” (not
shown), and then “EXP-1(EXPRESSION)” on the menu shown (see illustration below).
A prompt will appear to select “PRESET SETTINGS” or “GLOBAL SETTINGS” (see illustration below); use the
ENCODER to select one. PRESET SETTINGS is used to assign the EXP-1 to a specic amp or eect within a
particular preset, in which a wide variety of parameters can be modied, depending on the amp or preset in
use. GLOBAL SETTINGS is used to congure parameters that will aect all presets. Both are described in more
detail below.
PRESET SETTINGS
As noted above, PRESET SETTINGS is used to assign the EXP-1 to a specic amp or eect within a particular
preset. To do this, press the ENCODER on PRESET SETTINGS, and the middle SIGNAL PATH LAYER will show—
one at a time—the amp and eects in that preset to which the EXP-1 can be assigned. The user can scroll
through these by turning the ENCODER (see illustration below).
