Using an FS3X Footswitch
Using an FS3X Footswitch
An optional DigiTech FS3X
Footswitch can be connected to the
FS3X IN jack for additional hands-
free control of the SDRUM.
A TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) 1/4” cable
must be used when connecting the
FS3X.
When using a FS3X for control,
there are three modes of operation
to select from: Live, Table Top,
and Direct Part. These modes are
accessed by holding one of the
FS3X footswitches when making
the connection to the SDRUM. The
table below describes how to enter
each FS3X mode and the functions
controlled by each.
