Well yeah, just assign the volume pedal as an external controller, and assign it as the source for a modifier on the volume parameter of a volume block. And, of course, place that volume block *before* the delay and reverb blocks. This way, the volume block controls the signal going in, but lets the delay and reverb tails go through.
I have searched for how to do this for 2 hours.I have the volume block before the delay and verb. I don't know how to set the volume pedal as an external controller, and assign it as the source for a modifier part.Can I do this globally for all patches?
1-) Set the pedal as an external controller:
- Hit the I/O button on the front panel
- Page over to the CTRL tab
- Scroll down to one of the unused Externals (let's assume External 1 in the rest of these instructions)
- If you know the CC# of your pedal, use the main dial to select it next to External 1
- If you don't, put your cursor on it, hit the "Enter" button to go into learn mode, and activate the pedal back and forth for the Axe to identify it. It should enter some number next to External 1
- Now, External 1 is available in all your presets as a source for a modifier
2-) Edit a volume block (in front of delay and reverb) to use External 1:
- Edit the volume block
- Place cursor on "Vol" parameter, and hit "Enter" to go into modifier mode
- Under "Source", select "Extrn 1"
- For now, leave everything else as is, but eventually, you can edit the curve etc, to suit your needs
- As soon as you did the above, your expression pedal is assigned to control the modifier on the volume parameter of your volume block. If you activate the expression pedal back and forth, you should see the "dot" move up and down the curve (well, it's a straight diagonal line by default). But better yet, you should hear the results.
