You may be able to program switch 10 to work how you want, the only caveat is that you'd have to program it for every bank on the FCB1010 as a CC# for whatever the tuner is programmed for. The other BIG issue is that you will no longer be on the same patch meaning that the footcontroller will think that you are on that preset and while it won't change the AxeFX's patch you will have make absolutely certain that you have N/C selected for the IA switches on everyone of those #10 patches or it's going to change your stompbox settings.
I could be mistaken, but looking at Ripwerx it looks like it's possible. Just make sure that you don't have any PC changes assigned to it. And the light isn't going to reflect the correct status for anything meaning that if it's on or off means nothing.
As for the wah pedal that's an easy solution.
Go to the AxeFX, hit the control button. Page over to the CTRL tab. Scroll down to External 1 (it can be anyone of the external controllers, I just prefer 1 for this). Assign it the same CC# that the wah pedal is programmed for on the FCB1010.
Now go into the wah block on the AxeFX in edit mode (you have to be in a preset that has a wah block and you have to do this for each patch). Scroll over to the frequency knob, hit enter, scroll down to AUTOENG, select something other than OFF (I prefer fast), go to OFF VAL and select either 5% or 95% (this determines whether toe up or toe down is the off position). And of course make sure that the SOURCE is assigned to the EXTRN 1 (or whatever you assigned the wah pedal to in the CTRL dialog). Hit the Store and then Enter buttons and you have a wah pedal that turns on and off anytime it's not all the way down (5%) or all the way up (95%).
Just make sure that you calibrate your expression pedals if it's not working right.
Cool. thanks for the info. Would it make sense to make a different switch, other than #10 on the FCB as the tuner/mute switch? Is there an easier way to make the same switch be a dedicated switch for the tuner?
Also, I've heard that the patch switch can also be used as a tap tempo. So, if I click on switch #7 on the FCB and it brings up a clean blackface patch, i can press switch #7 again and create my tap tempo. And if I switch to #8 and it is my plexi patch, I can program #8, if it is already pressed/chosen as my patch, to be pressed again and used for tap tempo in that patch.
Is this possible?
Don't know if there was some kind of workaround, but basically it appears that it's an Apple issue with MIDI support in Java. The link above may make sense to you since you are a Mac user.Known to be compatible with the following computer operating systems:
* WindowsXP
* Windows2000 - Christopher Lewis
* WindowsME
* Macintosh (OSX v10.3) - Ben Witso (v10.3.8), anonymous (v10.3.9)
* Linux (Debian GNU/Linux 3.1) - Justin Rosander
The Uno chip helps to get that whole thing undercontrol because it has stompbox mode in which you program which effects you want to be on or off when you activate a specific preset. It's not really getting the information from the AxeFX; it's initializing it when it's selected so the buttons and lights are right.I'm on your boat. It seems that if you push pedal #6 to turn something on (or off) and then you immediately push , say, pedal #7, then pedal #6 is reset to the default state so that when you push it again the fcb forgets you had given it that first push. So you have to push again. So, i concur with michl_666, if anyone knows a workaround, i'll give kudos!
Voes, thanks for your walkthrough, I got my FCB1010 on Saturday, and had it all programmed and working with the Axe in under 30mins. Legendary. The Axe-Fx just got better!

made some changes to my FCB1010 today - I have incredibly bad depth perception, this will now help on dark stages
question: i haven't read all 37 pages of this thread...but is the program still current? mac compatible? or just pc?
i just ordered a mission pedal, spring loaded w/no switch to use as wah...would this be easy to integrate with the fcb??
not possible to run via the fcb1010? I guess my question is if i can run them both at the same time...my mission pedal as dedicated wah and the fcb for everyitng else including the expression pedals for vol and whatever else. have the mission pedal connect directly to the axe fx and separate from the fcb1010...
If you can answer: the uno upgrade for the fcb1010, is there many different uno chips? when someone says I've got a fcb1010 w/uno upgrade is that the only one that is specific for the fcb? just looking on ebay and noticed a few there with the uno chip already installed but want to make sure, if buy one, that it has the correct uno chip.
thx Btw voes, really awesome of you to spend all that time making a website with resources avial! top notch!
