Use case for an external footswitch?

[Drew Warmington]

Hey everyone,

I've got a Mission SP-1 that I use as a dedicated volume pedal with my FM9, as well as a separate dedicated Wah. Question that I have is, since the SP-1 has a footswitch, and since the FM9 has 3 input jacks, is there a use case for the footswitch?

I've seen lots of video's on using it to switch between Wah and Volume, but my pedal board is built already with the two. Any other ideas on making use of that 3rd input?

Thanks in advance!

Attach it to a control switch and control the Input Boost of the amp block. Or with some trickery you could possibly use it to switch between a Wah and a Whammy.

You could have the SP-1 be both a wah and volume and switch between. Common practice.

Usually I use it to switch between wah and volume. On one preset I use it to switch between scenes, since I spend much of the scene riding the treadle (it's changing harmonies in the pitch block ...) and it's easier to use the toe switch than to keep moving my foot over to switch scenes then back to the treadle.
