Thanks, that's an idea,You can set your Wah modifier to work only in one channel and then change the Wah block's channel anytime you want to use that pedal for something else. That will temporarily stop Auto Engage from working on the Wah. That's the simplest way to use the Wah pedal for something else.
@Rumbletone
It's not so much for me,
I build pedalboards with FM3 and FM9, etc..
And I get that question a lot from customers.
Because an FM9 and 3 Expression pedals is really big
Yes I know, you can do a lot, if not everything with scenes ;-)While you cannot re-assign the expression pedal in that way, there almost always is as way to have the XPDL serve the different functions as desired - for example, by having it controlling different parameters in different scenes or even within scenes by changing bypass states and/or channels of FX blocks. For example, I have the same XPDL sometimes control wah and sometimes control volume and sometimes specific FX parameters (like delay time or feedback, or pitch mod in the pitch block ...) without having to reassign anything - i.e., and pressing either a control switch or changing scenes results in the XPDL controlling the different parameter(s).
If you give us a specific preset or scenario perhaps we can provide insight on how we might address it - in the 'wah' vs 'delay mix/feedback' scenario, for example, as alluded to above you can have the XPDL controlling wah in one or more scenes, but then in the other scenes the XPDL controls the delay mix/feedback - either by assigning the modifier only to one scene or by using the mixer to, for example, bypass the wah in the scenes where you want the XPDL to control the delay mix/feedback (i.e., the XPDL is still assigned to and controlling the wah, including the auto engage feature, but because the audio from the wah is muted by the mixer it is effectively 'bypassed').
And thanks, but I know how to program all that, I've been playing with fractal for over 15 years
It's just for convenience' sake
That's why I buy a modeler, for convenience
I don't want to think, i just want to hit a Button, ;-)
No Apologies needed Rumbletone, thank you againApologies - I assumed from your initial question coupled with the fact that you’re a pro rig builder that you must be relatively new to the platform, though perhaps I’ve I misunderstood your question.

Well, with the Multiplexer it is easy to switch between 2 blocks, especially if the 2 blocks are at the front of the chain.My kitchen sink preset has an FC button dedicated to switching one exp pedal between controlling wah / tremolo. It uses the multiplexer and is pretty easy to setup. Essentially, it routes around the Wah when not in use so it doesn't matter that it auto engages. I just wish that we had more multiplexer blocks!
Is that the ask here? Switching the exp between two uses? Or is it for more than two? If so, I am sure it could be done (to some limits ofc), but the routing would get pretty complex - which is one of my favorite puzzle games
I am probably missing something here, but doesn't this mean that you have to burn a button to turn off the Wah and then another to turn something else on?
If you are only using one channel in your wah block and all your other effects then this can be done easily with Scenes.I just want to switch between the Wah block and "Effect Vol" of all my Effects
Thanks Scarbodave.If you are only using one channel in your wah block and all your other effects then this can be done easily with Scenes.
Well, with the Multiplexer it is easy to switch between 2 blocks, especially if the 2 blocks are at the front of the chain.
But switching between one block at the beginning of the chain, and 5 modifiers of 5 blocks at the end of the chain is difficult.

That's what my preset was likeActually, I would feed all of the parallel effects into a mixer block and have the exp control the levels of each row. This way, you can have totally different settings for the exp control.
But you can not Bypass a Mixer Block? why not?Actually, I would feed all of the parallel effects into a mixer block and have the exp control the levels of each row. This way, you can have totally different settings for the exp control.
