    Is this possible? MIDI switching question...

    I wonder if the Suhr's pedal is really a midi pedal, as on the amp the pedal input looks like it has more than the standard 5-pins... it might not work on the FX8's midi input.

    Vol Block - noise!

    In the vol/pan block, do you have the expression pedal control the output level or the volume parameter ? If it is the first then you are boosting your input with 20 dB's when your exp. is at 100%. This can be the source of your noise...

    Boost pedal in the Loop ? an issues?

    Boost pedal in the Loop ? an issues?

    I use a selfmade expression switch connected to pedal 2 with a pot meter to dial in the minimum setting (e.g. 80%), to control the global volume going from 80% to 100%. It even has a led that takes power from the pedal socket, so no batteries required !

    Relay amp switch lag

    ok, go find the bypass mode control (it's on the second page of the Wah edit mode), enter and you select your switch (extrnal2) as the source. that's it... (don't forget to save...) You can do the same (but the other way round) with a volume block so you make your pedal double duty (cfr. Paranoid)
