How to operate the foot controller
Using the expression pedals
By connecting expression pedals (Roland EV-5, BOSS FV-500L, BOSS FV-500H; sold separately), you can change the DRIVE value and volume by pedal.
DRIVE jack
Use this to control DRIVE. When BOOST is off, the sound can be changed from clean to crunch, and when BOOST is on, changed from clean to super
extreme.
With an expression pedal connected to the DRIVE jack, the drive value can be controlled from 0 to the current
DRIVE value on the panel. When the pedal is pressed fully down, the drive value shown by the panel knob will be
applied.
VOLUME jack
This is for controlling the volume. Volume swell and mute are possible.
* The volume that you can control with the expression pedal connected to this jack is different from the [VOLUME] on the panel.The pedal
operation is not linked to the [VOLUME] knob level.
