Once your expression pedals are connected and EXPRESSION mode is enabled
(AMPLIFIRE only), you can test and calibrate your expression pedals.
To TEST your expression pedals:
Go to the PEDAL A (or PEDAL B) parameter items of the EFFECT LOOP
menu. These parameters display the current position of the expression
pedal. The reading should change smoothly from 0% to 100% as you move
the corresponding expression pedal from the minimum (heel) position to the
maximum (toe) position.
If you do not get good results (or no changes at all), you may need to check your
cabling adapter, make sure you are in EXPRESSION mode, or CABIBRATE your
pedals .
To cALIbRATE your expression pedals:
1. Press the SAVE button while AMPLIFIRE is displaying the PEDAL A (or PEDAL
B) parameter. Pressing SAVE while TESTING your expression pedal will start
the CALIBRATE process .
2. AMPLIFIRE will ask for the “Heel Position”. Move your expression pedal to the
minimum position (fully down / heel position). Leave it there for a few seconds
and then press the SAVE button again .
3. AMPLIFIRE will then ask for the “Toe Position”. Move your expression pedal to
the maximum position (fully up / toe position). Leave it there for a few seconds
and then press the SAVE button to complete the CALIBRATE process .
Optionally, you can repeat the process starting on the PEDAL B test parameter
menu to CALIBRATE the second expression pedal.
If at any point in the CALIBRATE process you wish to ABORT the calibration
operation, press the ENCODER or BACK or NEXT buttons . This will abandon the
calibration, restore the calibration setting to the previous state, and return to the
PEDAL A (or PEDAL B) TEST display.
