10. Down/Up Footswitches

These footswitches select User preset banks (Bank Mode), User presets (Stompbox Mode), select
songs (Recorder Mode), and change playback speed (Learn-A-Lick).

11. Expression Pedal

The Expression Pedal controls effect parameters in real time. Most GNX3 parameters can be
assigned to the Expression Pedal. Applying extra pressure to the toe of the Expression Pedal switches
control between the assigned parameter(s) and the Wah.
