EXP Out / FSW In Connector
The EXP Out / FSW In connector on the BIGSBY's back panel is designed for dual purpose
functionality:
Pressing the footswitch will activate LATCH mode (indicated by the SELECT button).
When latched - the BIGSBY will produce a constant pitch-shift determined by the current
position of the DEPTH knob.
This way you don’t have to hold down the BIGSBY Pedal for long phrases.
In LATCH mode you can still use the BIGSBY's foot-pedal to make momentary dives and detune
effects up to
two semitones
.
By pressing the opposite side of the foot-pedal the pitch shift's direction will be flipped.
The BIGSBY Pedal´s FSW In connector is compatible with all
standard momentary or toggle type footswitches with a TS
(Tip/Sleeve) ¼” jack (normally closed or normally open).
You can also use a dual latching footswitch with a TRS jack - in
this case only one side of the footswitch will work.
Connect the BIGSBY Pedal to the MIDI OUT of your interface or
controller using a standard MIDI cable and the 3.5 mm TRS to 5 pin DIN
MIDI adapter (Type B) included with the BIGSBY Pedal.
The BIGSBY can be used as an
Expression pedal
to control external gear with an
EXP input.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
MIDI In Connector
The BIGSBY Pedal can be fully controlled via MIDI CC and PC messages
(see MIDI CC and PC map sheet included).
The BIGSBY can also be used outside of the signal chain, as an Expression pedal only,
but it still needs to be connected to a power source.

In this setup the BIGSBY Pedal is in front of the signal chain and is also
connected to the LIGHT

RANGE
,
DIRECTION
and
OFFSET
- are adjusted
separately in the
