    2 envelope follower settings on one wah block?

    Hey all, pretty new to the fractal world here. Wondering if it's possible to have a Wah block with 2 enveloper follower settings on different channels? For example to have one enveloper follower that's "tighter" and one that's "looser" on one block that I can switch between. thanks!

    Using Wah to Change a Preset

    Is there a way to program an expression pedal (running through an FC-12) to change a preset when engaged? As an example, I have a separate preset for solos for most songs and would like for those presets to automatically engage when I step on my wah for a few songs. Is this possible?

    Wah - Auto turn off when expression pedal not moving
