Also, if you read just the first post I put up, it wouldn't set up the tuner piece. In post #20 I gave a refined set of instructions that has the tuner switch on and off with separate presses of the preset button, which it appears you want. I set the tap-tempo button on pedal 0 later, I'll see if I posted it in the thread and re-post it here for you. But for now, here is a re-post of what I had in #20, which should get you set with everything but the tap tempo.
OK, so I've been able to refine this more if you would rather be able to switch the tuner on and off instead of having to hold the button down. If you would rather do it that way, and the program is already working like I had it set up before, here is how to modify it - after this, I'll paste an updated step by step to do it this way for a blank patch:
To modify a patch already allowing use of holding down the program button to show the tuner to allow it to be turned on and off:
1. Select the patch in question.
2. Hold the DOWN button to enter edit mode.
3. On the first "screen" only buttons 4 and 5 should be lit (meaning you are activating the expression pedals, but leaving the other stomp boxes unchanged - if you had them lit, you would end up at scene 5 because it would send the CC values for each of those in order)
4. Press UP to move to screen 2
5. On this screen, where we before had it set to have no lights lit, press pedal 8 to make the light above pedal 8 light up (this switches the CC1 message from momentary to toggle, this is a key element of making it switchable) - so only pedal 8 should be turned on
6. Press UP to move to the final screen
7. On this screen, tap pedal 6 so it blinks
8. Press UP
9. If it isn't already showing 15 (tuner), then use the buttons so the display shows 15
10. Press UP
11. For the first value set 0 (this means the tuner is off when you switch into the patch, if you did 127 here, it would turn the tuner on immediately when you switch into the patch)
12. Press UP
13. For the second value set 127 (this means the second time you press the button, it turns on the tuner - one more and it sends the initial value, turning it back off)
14. Press UP
15. Hold DOWN to save your changes and exit edit mode
That should be it if you prefer it that way.
And now, to consolidate what we've learned in order to not confuse anyone joining in later, I'll give an updated consolidated set of instructions for setting the Programs which adds in the ability to turn on and off the tuner by pressing the same program button that was used to select the patch. There is no need to rehash the stompbox setup, because that is the same. So here we go:
**** Programs - Which are different for each one in essence, but we are going to set every one the same here for our use: ****
First, select the patch you want to do your configuration on (here we'll say we're at bank 00, pedal 1)
1. Press and hold DOWN for about 2.5 seconds
2. On this first page, make sure only 4 and 5 are lit, if not, light them and turn the others off - move forward (the stompboxes definitely need to be off to avoid starting on a scene other than scene 1)
NOTE: If the Switch One (1) or Switch Two (2) lights are on up top, turn them off at the pedals, turn 3 on, and do a quick double tap on it, then long press to turn it off
3. Press UP to move to the next screen
4. Make sure only light 8 is on here (to make the CC1 a toggle instead of momentary switch) if not, make it so - move forward
5. Press UP to move to the final screen
6. Here, we want pedals 1, 6, 8, and 9 lit (because we're going to do one PC message, one CC, and both expression pedals) anything else, turn off
7. To program pedal 1, tap it so it starts blinking
8. Press UP to set which program you are choosing (this is the patch # on the Axe-FX you want) here we are doing patch 1, so type that
9. Press UP to save the changes and the light stops blinking
10. Tap pedal 6 so it starts blinking
11. Press UP to set the CC it is sending - we want 15 for all the patches (Tuner)
12. Press UP to set the initial value - we want 0 (so the tuner doesn't turn on when you switch in, it does so only when you want it)
13. Press UP to set the secondary value - we want 127 here (so that the tuner turns on when you press the button the second time)
14. Press UP to save the changes and the light stops blinking
15. Tap pedal 8 so it starts blinking
16. Press UP to set the CC it is sending - we want 17 for all the patches (External 2)
17. Press UP to set the lowest value - we want 00 (use expression pedal A to set it if it isn't already there)
18. Press UP to set the highest value - we want 127 here (use expression pedal A to set it)
19. Press UP to save the changes and the light stops blinking
15. Tap pedal 9 so it starts blinking
16. Press UP to set the CC it is sending - we want 10 for all the patches (Input Volume)
17. Press UP to set the lowest value - we want 00 (use expression pedal A to set it if it isn't already there)
18. Press UP to set the highest value - we want 127 here (use expression pedal A to set it)
19. Press UP to save the changes and the light stops blinking
20. Press DOWN to go back one screen - only light 8 should be on
21. Press DOWN to go back into the first screen
22. You'll see lights 1, 2, 4, and 5 on
23. Press pedal 2 to turn its light off
24. Press pedal 3 to turn its light on
25. Now double tap pedal 3 so that it turns off the Switch 2 LED on the top
26. Press pedal 3 to turn its light off
27. Press pedal 1 to turn its light off
28. Hold DOWN to save the patch
OK, that should get you to a place where the FCB program switches to the patch you want, sets expression A (left) to external 2, sets expression B (right) to control input volume, and sets the program select button turn on the tuner when you press it a second time.
Hopefully that clarifies it. If not, let me know and I'll see if I can provide a better explanation.
