SHORTCUT: Press Knob 3 (Learn) and then either move the desired expression

Tips for Creative Bypass Assignment
• Ifyoundyourselfconstantlytogglingoneswitchoandanotheron,assign
both blocks to the same footswitch, and while one is selected, press the
UpperKnob.Nowpressingthefootswitchwilltoggleoneoandtheotheron
simultaneously.
• Assign a Wah block to be engaged only when moving an expression pedal past
1%. Set the Wait time long enough so that natural foot movements don’t turn
thewahoeverytimeyoureachtheheel-downposition,butnosolongthatit
turnsonoticeablylatewhenyouresttheexpressionpedalatheel-down-See
“Manual Bypass Assign”.
• Dierent blocks can be enabled or bypassed at dierent locations of an
expression pedal’s travel. Experiment with turning on multiple overdrive
blocks—one at Position 5%, another at Position 30%, another at Position 70%,
and so on.
• When using a footswitch to toggle between two Amp or Amp+Cab blocks, the
ampmodelsmaysoundnotablydierentfromoneanother(justlikerealamps!).
Use an EQ block to make one Amp block sound a bit closer to the other Amp
block and assign its bypass to the same footswitch.
• Assign a delay block with very high feedback to be turned on only when reaching
the toe position of an expression pedal. Squeals galore.
