Remapping a footswitch
Since you have just seen the Buttonmap page,
this is a good time to remap a footswitch to a
different effect.
Since there are 11 vocal effects and 9 guitar ef-
fects in VL3X, but only 6 footswitches, the ability
to assign new functions to these footswitches
gives you a lot of flexibility.
Let’s remap µMod to HardTune. Later, you can
remap any footswitch as you wish, for this exam-
ple, please follow along.
►
Press the Vocal button.
►
Navigate to the Buttonmap tab using the <
and > buttons.
►
Use the Control Knob to highlight the line
starting with “µMod”. It’s at the top of the
page.
As you can see, the µMod is assigned to the
µMod effect.
►
Use the far left Mix Knob to remap the µMod
footswitch to HardTune.

►
Press Home.
If you look at the top left corner of the screen,
you should see HardTune there, µMod will be
gone.
µMod footswitch remapped to HardTune
When you press the µMod footswitch, you will
see that HardTune is now controlled by that but-
ton.
Remapping can be performed for any effect in
VL3X. Vocal and Guitar effects are not restricted
to their “home layers”.
This means that you can
remap a vocal effect to the guitar Layer – and
vice versa.
Since the Buttonmap page is available in each
Preset, for both vocal and guitar layers, you can
create a custom button mapping for every Pre-
set in VL3X.
Here are some Buttonmap examples:
►
Remap a Guitar effect to Shift, so you have
easy access to the Octaver effect.

►
Change a Vocal effect to Synth, so you can
use the Talkbox effect.

►
Move Guitar HIT from the Guitar Layer to the
Vocal Layer, so you can change multiple gui-
tar sounds/effects without leaving the Vocal
