Ok....So I've got a new LAMF+12+ on the way......really opens up some programming possibilities I was limted to with my current Ground Control Pro (even more so with the couple menu buttons not working). Anyway...I've mapped out my new presets I'll be making so I can use them in a Setlist/Song mode....instead of designing one preset to handle a whole song's worth of sounds. Should allow for some more consistency as well as flexibility with effects.
The problem (if you want to consider it such)....
I currently have 2 mission expression pedals....and with the way I program my rig, I have the right pedal (Exp 1) set to turn on my lead sounds (comp/drive/filter/delay) and my left (Exp 2) doing any amp changes or effects changes required during the song. It's efficient and has worked great with the rig I've had. This isn't really been a problem...BUT...
...now with being able to program the Amp changes via Song mode, and programming the effects changes into Song mode via IA switches (more programming flexibility layout-wise)...I have essentially really free'd up my EXP pedals for other uses. Sure...I have a few patches where WAH is controlled...or I can use a Whammy, or turn on my Talkbox via Ouput 2......but out of the 66 current songs/40 Presets I'll be using, only 14 have an expression pedal tied up to an effect/change. So that leaves me with at least 1 expression pedal free on every patch, and 26 presets with 2 expression pedals not being used.
I know some of you use them for 'mix' parameters for delay/reverb....which admittedly are two of my weaker effects programming wise, but what application does it serve? or what other options can I use them for?
