Boss latching and non-latching pedals work. An external looper might be cheaper and easier to set up and use though.
I assume that you are plugging directly into the Axe-Fx and not the MFC-101, since you posted in the Axe-Fx II section?. You'll need an XL or XL+ to use two switches. The Mark I/II units only have one pedal input.
Unfortunately, it won't...... The Mark I/II units can only handle one expression pedal OR one switch....Yes, plugging into the Axe. If I had the MFC, I wouldn't be in this position. One pedal input would work fine if it can take a two-button switch.
Thanks, guys!
So let's get it straight... If I plug in a regular footswitch, from, let's say, a laney tube amp, will it work?
It completely depends on the switch and the jack. If you are plugging into the 'Pedal' input(s) on the back of the Axe-Fx II, it should be a TS plug. TRS is for plugging in an expression pedal.So let's get it straight... If I plug in a regular footswitch, from, let's say, a laney tube amp, will it work?
I used a Ditto with my AX8 and it worked fine. If I recall correctly, I just put an FX block after the amp in the signal chain and then ran FX in and out to the Ditto.
What am I missing?
How far is the Output 2 level knob turned up?
Even when I turn it up all the way, it's still pretty quiet.
Knob at 100% should produce unity gain through loop. How much quieter would you estimate a cable in the loop is, vs. FXL block bypassed?
Did you select the proper Input 2 mode ("left only" if using just one return cable to In 2L) and adjust Input 2 level as described in the manual?
Is your output 2 global EQ set flat with gain slider at 0 dB?
Do you have a MIDI controller or any MIDI-capable software running w/ USB cable connected? You may want to set Output 2 Volume to "none" at the I/O: CTRL menu (for now) and restart the Axe-FX, to rule out something lowering Out 2 value.
If unity gain still isn't happening, the FXL output level parameter can eliminate the difference.
