I’ve got the Lehle Dual Expression hooked up to my Quad Cortex and I’m trying to understand if this is normal behavior or if I’m missing something.
Basically, the moment the pedal reaches 100 percent, it instantly triggers the toe switch on the QC. Theres no extra pressure needed, it does it every time. So:
Anything under 100 percent = Expression 1 (like my wah)
Hitting the very end of the travel = it fires the switch for Expression 2
I was under the impression this pedal had some sort of harder toe press for toe switch. But mine acts purely on position, not pressure. Even a gentle roll into 100 percent fires the switch.
I calibrated both EXP 1 and EXP 2. I even tried their online editor (LEHLE VERWALTER), which has some settings for the toe switch. No matter what I do it works as explained. I’d prefer if the toe switch would only work on a hard press.
Is this how the Lehle is supposed to work? Anyone using this with QC who can confirm?
I bought one of these myself just for the build quality tbh, but also because Lehle are a very human company, they have spare parts for every component at reasonable prices and luckily for us they have a guy on here sometimes; Joki. This thread addresses how to set up and calibrate the pedal for dual usage >> Lehle Thread
Thanks. I tried all of that (calibrating manually, using the Verwalter, the switch treshold option there to HARDEST, pressing hard on the right side of the pedal when calibrating). None of that helped. The toe switch is still activating all the time when I’m at 100% even with a very light touch i.e. not pressing hard at all.
yep, I don’t use the toe switch myself, scenes cover my needs for switching and I use the second TRS for a momentary on the Freeze … so I never explored it, sorry.
I don’t own this pedal, but I believe this is the way the Lehle is supposed to work. It is designed to activate at 100% using a magnetic “Hall” sensor. It is intended to not require any pressure and there is no way that I am aware of to simulate a “stiffer” feel on the switch. So… I think you are seeing operation as the pedal is designed.
An option might be to use it with the QC without the toe-switch, e.g. use scenes.
I wonder if there is a perhaps less than ideal low-tech solution like mounting a piece of rubber that might provide a bit of resistance before you reach 100%.
