assigning controller number 07 to one of the Control
inputs and connecting an expression pedal to it will let
you remote control the channel volume. The switching
function of the Boost can be remote controlled assigning
controller number 64 to the other Control input and
connecting a footswitch to it.
Heads Up: Generally all functions can be controlled
with both an expression pedal and a foot switch. The
control type of each function determines which one of the
two makes more sense to use. Continuous functions or
functions with a control range of more than two sectors
are predestined for the use of an expression pedal. For
mere switching functions (two sectors: on/off) it makes
more sense to use a foot switch. If you assign a controller
number with more than two sectors to a foot switch, then
you can only switch between the first and the last sector.
If you use an expression pedal, the control range of the
pedal will be divided in equal parts by the number of
sectors of the assigned function.

Heads Up: The note “soft” for controller number 07
(Volume) and 20 (Gain) refers to the softening of the
change in value once you move the expression pedal.
This helps to avoid abrupt volume changes in case of
a remarkably large difference between the value of
the controlled parameter stored in the preset and the
expression pedal’s starting position. If you chose to use
such abrupt volume changes e.g. as a stylistic device, you
can do so by assigning controller numbers 56 (Gain) and
75 (Volume) instead.
