Hi, my AX8 defaults to the expression pedal connected to pedal 1 being assigned to the 'IN 1 (INSTR) volume' parameter.
For years to cut down on what I was carrying to gigs I went the route of a tube amp and basically set the amp with a good overdrive tone then using the guitar's volume pot to control how clean or dirty the sound got with my wee finger. So, I was going from clean to lead and everything in between using the guitar volume knob using my finger to adjust on the fly, works well and it is the way most of the guitarists did it in the 60's etc.
With the AX8 I was trying to use the expression pedal to alter the 'input gain' but decided against it as I cannot set a min and max range on it that I can see.
What I mean is, say I'm playing Hendrix or Cream tunes, I roll off the guitar volume for a rhythm tone and increase it to solo. I may set the volume knob around 6 or 7 for rhythm and roll on to 8,9 or 10 for solos depending on the tune and amount of overdrive required. I do it my ear mostly. I find doing it with the expression way too sensitive and for this reason I think it would be a good feature to be able to set the range to a min and max setting. I have used different pedals and swapping out the pedal doesn't make much difference.
Perhaps there is a parameter I have missed? If not it would be nice to include this feature on a global or per preset basis I think?
Any views?
