Hi all Axe FX users !
I am a brand new (and very happy) Axe FX 2 user. I own the XL version and loaded a Quantum 2.0.x firmware recently. I run the Axe FX 2 in 4CM on my guitar amp.
My question is about the pedal connectors on the Axe FX.
I'm using a footswitch on the first pedal input and an expression pedal on the second pedal input.
Everything works fine in terms of operating the pedals and desired results on the Axe FX...
The footswitch I use is the one that was provided with my amplifier head (a NOS custom amp). That's a typical latching footswitch. It is mounted with a red status led that is there to identify when the effects are engaged or not.
When I use that stomp box on my amp (to change channels) and activate it, the status led is bright and very visible. But, when I use it on the Axe FX 2, once lit, the led is VERY weak. I can't barely say if it is on or off.
Does that mean the Axe FX 2 pedal jacks do not provide enough power for the LED ?
Does that mean I'm using the wrong type of footswitch ? If yes, I did not find anything in the Axe FX documentation that explains what to use and what are the pedal inputs specifications.
Many thanks for your help and advices.
