Assign Modifier to a Footswitch?

[brianv4]

I'd like to make footswitch 5 engage the amp's saturation parameter for my plexi preset. Can it be done?

Negative...... You will need an external switch plugged into 1 of the 4 inputs on the back.

Surprised it can't be done

Well, I, going to rephrase that.......do you have an effect in the AX8 that you NEVER see yourself using?

 

[ssmorga78]

Never mind......I was correct the first time. I thought MAYBE you could go into the MIDI menu and assign a MIDI cc# to say External 12 of an effect you never used(like Filter 2 or something). I thought maybe you could throw that block into your preset and not connect it to anything in the signal chain. Then assign External 12 to that Saturation function. Then in the foot switch menu for the preset, just assign whatever pedal you chose to assign it's cc# to External 12 to foot switch 5. Then when you engaged it, it would turn on the Saturation switch, but.....I tried it and had no luck with it.

Already using 2 for expression and 2 for the looper. I can assign it via scene controller but saturation is something I use for "more" whenever I feel I need it.

Footswitches:
saw your thread ,,was wandering which looper (brand), you were using on external ?
