I've (only) recently been having probs with wah wah activities.
After following Cooper Carter's video from many years back on how to (very simply) set up my EV-1 as a wah wah pedal, I never had a problem... but all of a sudden I can't even seem to engage the wah wah pedal when I want to.
I first noticed this when I was playing the factory preset "50W Plexi". I noticed there is a wah pedal in the chain, but when I stepped on my EV-1, expecting it to kick in..... nothing. And I can't even click on the wah block (in FM3 Edit) and engage or disengage it. I'm a very simple creature, so assumed a smarter mind than mine - whoever created the Plexi 50W factory preset - had some special settings going on that were beyond me.
So I started to make my own preset from scratch and added a wah block - going through the Cooper Carter process again: click on the control button, select External 1, select medium position etc., but once I'd done that I noticed a yellow dot appear on the control button and, once again, I could neither click on. the wah block to engage or disengage it. I'm stumped - and not for the first time when it comes to FM3 or FM9, but that says more about my computer incompetence.
The Cooper Carter video I'm referring to - Setting Up An EV-1 As A Wah Pedal - is 8 years old, so maybe there's a new way of using/ engaging the wah pedal ??? It's just that it was all SO simple the way I had been doing it, previously.... but no longer seems to be effective.
Many thanks in advance for any help and advice.
