So…what happens if you connect a Dual switch to the FM9? Will one work and the other not? Will neither work?
That’s cool. Have you tested the dual switch yet to see see what happens?The T1M that I had on my FM3 board is making it's way over to the new FM9 board that I'm working on as I post... well taking a break from at the moment. even though I can't use both buttons I going to place it in the hopes that it's a software limitation. I'm a DIY'er so my projects take a little longer to complete.
Thought I would try my hand at Acrylic to see what happens! Waiting for parts to complete wiring the I/O's, which there are a few! Circus lights and party poppers to follow!
As to how I use my externals I like to use them for either a boost, tempo or some other effect that is not widely used in order to free up the switches on the FM.

Ha! No I haven't had a chance to test or setup, probably tomorrow. I have been in a whirlwind of activities. Getting ready to take the wife to the Big Island for are 30th, All of the hoops one has to jump through to get on a plane and go their is PITA.That’s cool. Have you tested the dual switch yet to see see what happens?
Heads-up,So…what happens if you connect a Dual switch to the FM9? Will one work and the other not? Will neither work?
Well that changes things... for my layout anyway. Oh well time to go buy more stuff. Starting to wonder if I should have bought an Axe FX III FC-12 and that floor box that guy made... Hummm.Heads-up,
A dual TRS cabled switch will not work unless you used an adapter jack and converted the signal to dual TS. According to previous moderator’s comments posted in this forum, the FM9 accepts TRS expression pedals, but not TRS switches. It’s a hardware issue, not something easily corrected by a firmware update.
My build plans include 2 SPST soft touch normally closed momentary switches that will be connected by individual instrument cable / right angle ¼” TS plugs. Although I’m not sure, I’m hoping the 2 switches will both provide the toggle/hold features like standard FAS switches…
All this is somewhat of a mess that needs sorting out, folding, and putting away. Task for tomorrow being rehearsed as I type

Good question... I have tried it both ways and in my particular circumstance having the switch nearby works best for me as I also use the Wah.... when I am in my solo boost so the circumstance of boosting twice just won't work. Many ways to skin that cat...Why not just increase the Level parameter in your Wah? Or maybe I'm not understanding?
I think most people cut the Level about 2-3dB in the Wah.
My takeaway from that cool post is you have a cool mom.Just received my tools/materials for my effects board build. Having zero soldering/electronics skills may prove interesting, but I trust YT instructional vids. Worst could happen is my continuity could go south. No big deal.
While my Mom was visiting today, I asked her if she would like to take part in my effects board build. Mom steadied the board as the remaining EV-1 was removed and re-positioned, and the Temple Audio XLR MM Module was installed. My schedule won't likely allow for any electronics work until Friday or Saturday, so the 2 external switch builds will need to wait until then.
Have chosen the closest and furthest large access holes from the far left side of the board, left of the EV-1. The purpose is to avoid unintentional foot contact with the lowermost switch. I think the distance is sufficient.
EDIT: Here's my Temple Audio Duo 34 build. It's still looking forlorn without the FM9, but no worries. The reason for 3 Temple Audio XLR cables is one is connected to a XLR FM Module, the remaining 2 to a XLR MM Module. The FM Module serves as a male monaural output for floor monitor. The remaining 2 XLR MM outputs act as FOH XLR connections. The remaining FM XLR connection could be used to connect a FC6 if necessary, but was leftover from my FC12 FAS-Link/FM3 connection. The ¼" TRS plug connects to the EV-1. Once the external switches are installed, it will be possible to secure the loose cables and make for a cleaner-looking project.
The reason for my showing you this is to help you see what's part of my build.
Much appreciated, Mom's up there in years and recently suffered a fall and an injury, and was hospitalized. Mom's due to be discharged in the next day or 2. My immediate family has medical and first responder background, so they're visiting her and caring for her current needs until she moves into a rehab facility closer to me. Depending on Mom's wishes, she may ask my family to continue with her daily needs, or Mom may hand the responsibility over to me. At first, I was pretty shaken up, thinking the worst, but Mom's pretty resilient and in good health, up to the fall.My takeaway from that cool post is you have a cool mom.
And now I see that your cool mom has raised cool family.Much appreciated, Mom's up there in years and recently suffered a fall and an injury, and was hospitalized.

The weird part of all this was that the day previous someone mentioned to me about seeing a local band named "Someone You Can X-Ray." I told Mom about it that evening and the next day during her exercise class, whoops, thunk. This is one time I wish "coincidence" wasn't part of my life so much.
But, yes, thanks for saying my Mom is cool. She's really most all of what I've got for close relatives, and like many folks who have elderly parents, we worry about them sometimes.
It's appreciated. Hope your Dad enjoyed his time with you. My Dad passed in '94 at an early age, but family has stayed mostly close together.And now I see that your cool mom has raised cool family.
I am sorry to hear about her recent health issues. I had to go through a similar experience about 10 years ago with my father. Your mom is fortunate to have you.
Look forward to seeing the floorboard.
There's no option for changing banks with midi...If I get one I am thinking of a couple of different options. I was thinking originally about the Tech 21 Midi Mongoose and use the extra 5 switches for 1- Bank up 2- Bank down 3- Mode (to get into preset to be able to turn change scenes or turn on/ff fx 4- Tuner 5- Tap Tempo. Then I thought of the Midi mouse for Bank up, Bank Down, Tap Tempo. Or Mission has switch called TT2 which is not midi but maybe I could use that for Tap Temp and something else, or LAST option would be maybe just something to do Tap Temp, especially as flexible as everything else is.
Well then, there goes that idea.There's no option for changing banks with midi...
Also I don't think either the Midi Mongoose or Midi Mouse can do anything besides PCs.
If those are not devices you already have then maybe check out the Voes MX-5.Well then, there goes that idea.
