Relay/scene query (video included). Is there another way to do this without always pressing F1?

Hey gang,


I’ve tried do a quick video of what I’m trying to achieve; sometimes it’s easier to provide visuals as opposed to typing up an essay on what you’re trying to achieve!!


I hope this makes sense!!


Essentially, I’m trying to find out if there’s another way to change the channels/states on my amp via the FX8 without continuously having to press the F1 button (which activates scene mode) as I go from channel to channel. The amp itself has 2 relays as I understand it; which is perfect because the FX8 has two relays.


In a perfect world, I want to be able to do the following:

• Press button 1 on the FX8 which engages Ch1 on the amp.
• Press button 2 on the FX8 which engages Ch1 + boost on the amp.
• Press button 3 on the FX8 which engages Ch2 on the amp.
• Press button 4 on the FX8 which engages Ch2 + boost on the amp.

The only way to do this at present is to always press F1 on the FX8 which (I’m guessing) tells the FX8 that it’s in ‘scene select mode’.. not sure if there’s another way around this. I just want to be able to press button 1, 2, 3, 4 on the FX8 without always having to press F1..

I assume that I’d need an midi amp gizmo or something to that effect which should do what I want it to do..

Urgh.. any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

In 'SETUP>GLOBAL>F-SWITCH', assign 'SCENE SWITCH TAP' to 'STICKY SCENE'. This will allow you to do exactly what you're asking but will require you to press F1 when you want to go back to Stompbox mode.
