Exp. Pedal tab: Getting the most
out of your expression pedal
If you have connected an expression pedal to
your VoiceLive 3, you can define what the ex-
pression pedal should control in each Preset.
Being able to define the expression pedal “tar-
get” in each Preset gives you a lot of flexibility
from one pedal.
– Use the Expression pedal parameter to choose
from many controllable “targets”.
– Use the Exp MinPos parameter to define the
parameter value that should be associated
with the minimum (down) position of the ex-
pression pedal.
– Use the Exp MaxPos parameter to define the
parameter value that should be associated
with the maximum (up) position of the expres-
sion pedal.
The MinPos and MaxPos parameters can be
useful when you would like to limit the effective
range of the pedal.
For example, if you assign the expression pedal
to control harmony volume, you may want the
harmonies to turn down slightly when you rock
the pedal all the way back – but not turn them
off completely. To achieve this effect, you would
set Exp. Minpos to something higher than 0%
(try something like 50 or 70%). This allows you
to make large (easy to perform) movements with
the pedal without changing the level of the har-
monies too drastically.
It can be useful to limit the expression pedal
range for parameters such as Guitar Volume,
Harmony Volume, Delay Feedback, Rhythmic
Depth etc.
Working with a second expression pedal
If you want to, you can use a second expres-
sion pedal with your VoiceLive 3. Connect this
second Expression pedal to the Footswitch jack.
As opposed to the expression pedal connected
to the Expression jack (which can be used dif-
ferently in each Preset), the pedal connected to
the footswitch jack only has a global setting – it
will control all Presets in the same way. To use a
second expression pedal:
– Press Setup.
– Navigate to the Buttonmap tab.
– Select the Footswitch Jack parameter and set
it from Switch-3 to Expression pedal.
Calibrating your expression pedal
If you are connecting an expression pedal, it
must be calibrated.
– To enter the calibration screen, press the Set-
up button.
– Use the < and > arrows to navigate to the
“Pedal Calibration” tab.
– Follow the on-screen instructions.
The Preset tab
The Preset tab allows you to make changes to
the Preset as a whole.
Most importantly, you can adjust the overall level
of the Vocal or Guitar signals within a Preset.
This allows you to balance your Presets so they
all have the same apparent volume.
