The EXP-1 Expression Pedal is a dual-mode foot controller that enables the

user to control master volume ("Volume" mode) and various amp and effect

parameters ("Expression" mode).

Switch between Volume and Expression modes by stepping on the toe

switch (at the top of the pedal). Red and green LEDs indicate the mode in

use. Volume mode—indicated by the green LED—controls master volume

or can be turned off. Expression mode—indicated by the red LED—controls

many Mustang GT effect parameters such as wah effect frequencies, modu-

lation effect rates, etc.

To set up the EXP-1 for use, connect it to the footswitch jack on the back of the amplifier, turn the amp on.

Press the MENU utility button on the amp and use the ENCODER to scroll to and select "EXP-1 SETUP" on the

menu shown (see illustration below).

A prompt will appear to select "PRESET SETTINGS" or "GLOBAL SETTINGS" (see illustration below); use the

ENCODER to select one. PRESET SETTINGS is used to assign the EXP-1 to a specific amp or effect within a

particular preset, in which a wide variety of parameters can be modified, depending on the amp or preset in

use. GLOBAL SETTINGS is used to configure parameters that will affect all presets. Both are described in more

detail below.

PRESET SETTINGS

As noted above, PRESET SETTINGS is used to assign the EXP-1 to a specific amp or effect within a particular

preset. To do this, press the ENCODER on PRESET SETTINGS, and the middle SIGNAL PATH LAYER will show—

one at a time—the amp and effects in that preset to which the EXP-1 can be assigned. The user can scroll

through these by turning the ENCODER (see illustration below).

In EXP-1 PRESET SETTINGS, the amp and effects in a preset to which the EXP-1 can be assigned are shown one by one in the SIGNAL

PATH LAYER; the ENCODER is used to scroll through them. In the example above, a '65 Twin amp is highlighted.
