5. Turn the MIX knob to a very low setting.
This new MIX knob setting is stored for the pedal’s minimum, heel-down value.
NOTE: Optionally, you can adjust other parameters for the current delay to the pedal as
well before proceeding to the next step. Just like with MIX, any knob you adjust—and the
value you choose—will be assigned to the heel-down position of the pedal.
Remember that you are not limited to just controlling delay parameters—you can also press-hold
the LEGACY button and turn the desired knobs to assign the current reverb effect’s parameters!
6. Move your expression pedal forward to the fully toe-down position,
and set the MIX knob to 50%.
This new MIX knob setting is stored for the pedal’s maximum, toe-down value.
NOTE: If you assigned additional parameters in the previous step, also adjust each to the
value you wish to be assigned to the pedal’s toe-down position.
7. Rock your expression pedal back and forth and you’ll hear the MIX
(and any additional assigned parameters) adjust accordingly.
Don’t change your current delay or reverb model once you’ve created your pedal
assignments—doing so will clear your assignments on each. (Of course, if you want
to clear your assignments, you can change the models and go back to step 4.)
NOTE: If your expression pedal happens to control parameters in the reverse direction,
change the Global Settings > "EXP/Switch Polarity" option to Inverted.
8. Save the preset to store your new expression pedal assignment (see
"Saving a Preset" on page 11).
Your pedal-assigned parameter(s) will be recalled at the specific values at which
they are set when you save the preset.
TIP: Once your pedal assignment(s) are configured for your preset, note that you can
optionally connect a single footswitch in place of the expression pedal (via a TS cable),
change the Global Settings > "Pedal Jack Functionality" to the Footswitch Only option and
the footswitch will toggle the expression pedal-assigned parameters’ min. and max. values!
Factory Presets - Existing Expression Pedal Assignments
The following expression pedal assignments are already configured within factory
presets A~F. Just connect your pedal and give them a try!
TIP: In most of the presets, where the expression pedal is set to control the delay’s
REPEATS, pushing your pedal to the maximum toe position will send the delay into “squeal”
with infinite, runaway repeats!
