Other Functions
This section describes how to use the internal expression pedal as well as an external pedal or foot switch.
Use of the B2.1u as an audio interface or direct box is also explained.
Making settings for the
internal expression pedal
The built-in expression pedal on the top panel of
the B2.1u can function as a volume pedal or it can
be used to control an effect parameter in real time.
Which function is selected for the expression
pedal is stored for each patch individually.
For details on parameters that can be modified
with the expression pedal, see pages 27 – 33.

method is available both in edit mode and in play
mode.
• Which parameter changes when the expression pedal
is operated depends on the effect type selected for
the module. For details, see pages 27 – 33.

When the B2.1u is in the bypass condition, the
expression pedal always functions as a volume
pedal, regardless of the setting made in step 3.
Adjusting the sensitivity of
the built-in expression pedal
The expression pedal of the B2.1u is adjusted for
optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes,
readjustment may be necessary. If the sound does
not change when the pedal is fully pushed down,
or if it changes excessively even if the pedal is
only lightly pushed, adjust the pedal as follows.
