Creating macros: expression pedal & single switch
An expression pedal and a single switch pedal can be assigned to a parameter or to various parameters to
create macros.
A macro is an ensemble of parameters, which can be modulated simultaneously via the external control.
To setup a macro on the selected PRESET using an expression pedal or a single switch pedal, do as follows:
1. Hook it up to the EXT. CONTROL in the rear panel.
2. Hold the MODEL encoder and choose GLOBAL SETUP .
3. Select EXT. CTRL and choose one of the following:
a. TRS EXP: if you are using a TRS type expression pedal.
b. RTS EXP: if you are using a RTS type expression pedal.
c. N.O. SWITCH: if you are using a normally open single switch pedal.
d. N.C. SWITCH: if you are using a normally close single switch pedal.
4. Press the PRESET encoder to go back to the setup selection and choose PRESET SETUP .
5. In the PRESET SETUP menu, select ON from the EXT. CTRL option.
6. Come back to the PRESET SETUP menu, select EXT. LEARN and choose LEARN.
7. While LEARN A is being displayed (A LED starts blinking), position the parameters of the PRESET as
you wish they would be when the external control is in position A, then press the B footswitch when
the A setup is done.
8. While LEARN B is being displayed (B LED starts blinking), position the parameters of the PRESET as
you wish they would be when the external control is in position B, then press the C footswitch when
the B setup is done to confirm the A and B setup. If you want to go back to editing the A setup press
the A footswitch.
9. Once the C footswitch pressed, the pedal returns to its default behavior and the macro is assigned to
the external control.
The only parameter that cannot be assigned to a macro is the master volume in the main parameters, use the
TONE MODEL volume parameter (MODEL.VOL) or (when the compressor is set to post) the compressor's make
up gain (CMP GAIN) in the additional parameters to edit the overall volume of the selected PRESET.
To remove an assigned macro do as follow:
1. Hold the MODEL encoder and choose PRESET SETUP .
2. Select EXT.LEARN then choose CLEAR.
N.B.
In a single switch pedal, position A refers to the off status.
In an expression pedal, position A refers to the heel status.
In a single switch pedal, position B refers to the on status.
In an expression pedal, position B refers to the tip status.
