EXP Pedal
Some of Ampero Mini’s preset patches have been set up to use the
built in expression pedal. These can be used without any further
setup. For more on expression pedal settings. See page 11.
To turn the built in expression pedal on, press the pedal all the way
forward so it clicks. When the built-in expression pedal is on, the LED
under the pedal will turn green, and this icon will show up on the
Main Display screen to indicate it is on:
You can either use the built in expression pedal (EXP 1) or connect
your own (EXP 2) to control various Ampero Mini paramaters.
Reminder:
1. When the built in expression pedal is off, it continues to work as a
volume pedal for Ampero Mini. For more on volume pedal settings,
see page 11.
2. You can use CTRL footswitch to switch built in expression pedal
on/off. See page 10.
3. If your external expression pedal has an off switch and is turned
off, it will not function.
4. If you use an external expression pedal, the display won’t show
any message when it is connected. As soon as you connect and turn
on an external expression pedal, it will function to control the effects
parameter determined by the current patch. If the current patch does
not have any effects controllable by expression pedal, the pedal will
not function. See page 13.
