Using a Foot Switch/Expression Pedal

If you connect a foot switch (such as the separately available
BOSS FS-5U or Roland DP-2) to the FOOT SW/EXP PEDAL
jack on the rear panel, you’ll be able to control some
functions using your foot.

fig.ConnectFootSW-e.eps

The expression pedal can be used when the insert effect is
turned on.

Depending on the effect settings, it will function as follows.

If the WAH (p. 66) TYPE is set to “PEDAL,” the

expression pedal will function as a wah pedal.

If the PITCH SHIFTER (p. 75) TYPE is set to “PEDAL,”

the expression pedal will function as a pitch shifter
pedal.

• If WAH and PITCH SHIFTER are off, the expression

pedal will function as a volume pedal.
