It would be very useful (if not a game changer) if we could assign the splitter in A/B mode as a stomp in stomp mode.
This would allow to toggle between 2 signal path with one stomp.
This would bring a lot of flexibility to the Stomp Mode.
Summary:
Split the signal, in the splitter set it to A/B
Have a box to assign to stomp.
If assign to stomp A=-0.0Db B=Off (bypass path B)
If stomp is hit: A=Off, B=-0.0Db (Bypass path A)
Hit to switch between A and B.
This would mean you could have the same effect (Drive, comp, modulation, delay) to use with 2 distinct sets of Amp/Cabs/reverb in stomp mode for example.
Agreed, I’d step this up one level and ask that allow any block parameter to be assignable to a stomp with a min/max value. This is how I used my Helix. With the QC, I need to use scene mode until it has a feature like this.
YES! I was just about to start a feature request for this exact topic. Seems easy enough to implement, where 1 footswitch can toggle between two amps or whatever.
Agreed, This would be great, currently you can do it if you assign it to an expression pedal. I dont want want to lose 1 of the 2 exp pedals for this purpose, but a button (of the 8) would be awesome. I would use it for a 2 amp switch system.
I have something like this working now. IF you don’t mind purchasing an external switch to use as an expression pedal (I’m using the Boss Dual Foot Switch for this) placing the 2 amps on separate paths using the switch to A/B between the 2. I works well…the QC is a little slow when switching…not sure why that is other than loading time? I’m using switch B for a boost.
IF I could figure out how to upload a pict…I’d show y’all
It’s not implemented yet, but depending on how you are splitting things if all you care about is flipping between two amps (and keeping the rest of the chain the same pre-post) you can now do that with the multi-stomp assignment. Just assign the same stomp to both amp blocks and then toggle one of them to the bypassed state - pressing the stomp again will toggle them again (enabling the bypassed one, bypassing the enabled one) and now you have amp switching on a single stomp which seemed to be the goal mentioned here a lot. It’s also far faster/immediate vs altering the splitter path mix.
Just stumbling across this now and tbh i was pretty surprised if was impossible to assign a\b to a switch in stomp mode. I have been setting up a preset on the QC to demo for a band member so he can A\B his regular pedal board and amp with the QC. Since he’s used to using his board as individual stomps I want to show him the QC in stomp mode and make it easy to alternate. Without being able to assign it I find the terminology confusing, I was expecting this to work like a regular A\B box–and wouldn’t it be nice to have multiple switch functions and long press for Y?
I get that there are workarounds, but this seems like a really obvious feature and not having it work as expected has been annoying so far today.
I agree. It’s just another example of the things many people are calling for to expand functionality. E g. I think it would be nice to be able to A/B/Y between different paths\outputs in stomp mode, especially if using the QC as a pedal board to external stereo or wet dry amps. For just muting one side of the A/B i added another amp block turned down so that switching it on mutes it, and then used a tuner on the real pedal board, but that’s still 2 taps instead of just being able to switch. It seems it should be simple enough to do in the QC.
It’s still strange to me how many much smaller\less complex devices have more options–like being able to single press, double press, or long press a single switch and get 3 different functions, hold down other buttons combinations to change modes or access secondary menus, etc. It seems like there would be a way to give buttons multiple functions, so that the 8 buttons on the unit could functionally become like 24 buttons, hybrid modes could be more in-depth, etc etc.
Anyway i know that’s another topic but being able to control splits and outputs with buttons would be helpful–especially if using an external MIDI controller, since as i understand it, you can control scenes and presets with an external controller as long as the QC is in stomp mode (something I’m just getting into.)
I guess that’s one use case the hybrid mode is good for, but then again it’s a shame that hybride mode isn’t flexible at all and you are stuck with 4 scenes and 4 stomps
