8 EXTERNAL SWITCHES

External footswitches provide an additional means to control your Axe-Fx or a connected MIDI device. Each switch

can be set up—globally or with custom settings for any given preset—to send custom OFF and ON values (0 and

127 by default) for one MIDI Control Change number.

Each External Switch jack on the MFC-101 can accept two switches via a TRS-to-dual-TS or "Insert" type cable. A

TRS cable connected to "Jack1+2" will have Switch 1 on the TIP and Switch 2 on the RING. A TRS cable connected

to "Jack3+4" will have Switch 3 on the TIP and Switch 4 on the RING. It also is possible to connect a single switch to

either one of the jacks using a TS (normal guitar) cable, but it is recommended that you disable the MIDI function

of the unused second switch (2 or 4) when doing so.

Footswitches are classified according to the operation into several basic physical types: "TOGGLE" (a.k.a.

"Latching") switches, and "MOMENTARY" switches (a.k.a. "hold," subdivided into "Make" and "Break" types). All

types are supported by the MFC-101, but you must adjust MFC-101 settings according to the type of each

connected switch:

1. Press the EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE

2. Press SETUP footswitch to select the SETUP menu

3. Press PAGE footswitch 13x to get to the External Switch Hardware Type screen:

4. Press the INCR or DECR footswitch to select XS1, XS2, XS3 or XS4

5. Press PARAMETER footswitch to select the Switch Type field

6. Tap the INCR or DECR footswitches to select MOMENTARY or TOGGLE according to the

physical switch type of your connected hardware.

7. Press PARAMETER to return to the first cursor position and repeat this process from step

4 for each additional connected switch or press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
