Footswitches

The 4 boxes in the lower-left corner represent the 4 footswitches of the HeadRush Gigboard. You can assign any

switch-based parameters (ones with only two states) to any of the footswitches—regardless of their location in

the signal chain.

To assign a parameter to a footswitch:

1. Tap a box.  indicates an empty box.

2. In the list that appears, tap the model with the parameter

you want to assign.

3. In the list that appears, tap the parameter you want to

assign. Usually, the parameter will simply be On (to

activate or deactivate it).

Tap Unassigned  to unassign that footswitch.

4. On the Hardware Assign screen, tap Toggle/Hold for that

footswitch to determine how it works.

When set to Toggle, each press will turn the model on or

off.

When set to Hold, pressing and holding the footswitch will

activate it, and releasing the footswitch will deactivate it.

To swap two assignments, tap and drag one of them over the other, and then release it.

Ext. Amp

You can assign a switch to send a signal to your amplifier’s

footswitch input by using the external amp output. You can

use this feature to do things like change from the clean to dirty

channel, or turn reverb on and off on your amplifier.

To use this feature when switching to a rig, tap the button

under Ext Amp on the hardware assign page, and then select

Tip, Ring, or Both. If you are unsure of which setting to use,

please consult the amplifier's manual or manufacturer to

confirm.

This feature can also be assigned to a footswitch on the Model

Selector page that appears when you are assigning a

footswitch’s function.

This function can also be assigned to a scene by adjusting the parameter on the Scene Editor screen.

IMPORTANT! Only connect this output to amplifiers that have a "short-to-sleeve" footswitch input. If you connect

this output to any other type of footswitch input, you may cause permanent damage to your equipment. If you are

unsure if your amplifier has a “short-to-sleeve” footswitch input, please consult the amplifier’s manual or

manufacturer to confirm.
