Using the expression pedal
for control
Expression pedal settings
The ToneLab EX’s programs assign various functions to the
expression pedal, allowing you to control not only wah or
volume but many other kinds of effect parameters with the
expression pedal.
HINT:
If you select “VOX V847” or “VOX V845,” the expres ‐
sion pedal will automatically function as a wah pedal.
For each program, you can specify which parameter will be
controlled by the expression pedal and how it will be con ‐
trolled.
When
you save a program, the position (angle) of the expres ‐
sion pedal at that moment will be saved in the program as the
parameter value. When you select that program, the value
saved in the program will be recalled as the setting of the
assigned parameter.
In the following cases, however, the value is not saved.
• Volume
• Input level to the delay effect
• Input level to the reverb effect
• PITCH parameter of PITCH
• Cutoff frequency of FILTRON
• Vowel of TALK MOD
Assigning a function to the
expression pedal (Quick Assign)
On the ToneLab EX, it’s easy to assign an effect parameter or
the effect input level to the expression pedal.
HINT:
For details on the effect parameters that you can assign,
refer to “About the amp models, cabinet models, and ef ‐
fect types” (p. 15).
To assign a function to the expression pedal
As an example, here’s how to assign the SPEED parameter of
the U ‐ VIBE pedal 2 effect to the expression pedal.
1.
Turn on the effect.
In this example, press the PEDAL 2 on/off switch to turn
the pedal effect on.

Use the selector to select a effect, and then use the EDIT
knob.
Use the PEDAL 2 selector to select U ‐ VIBE, and then turn
the EDIT knob. The Quick Assign LED will light.
3.
Hold down the EXPRESSION switch for about two seconds.
The SPEED parameter will be assigned to the expression
pedal; the bank/value display will indicate “ ” for one
second.
4.
If desired, save this setting in the program.
For details on how to save, refer to “Saving a program” (p. 15).
NOTE:
The settings you made will return to their original
values if you switch programs or turn off the power
before saving.
