Need help with Whammy settings

Quad Cortex
1

I’ve been trying to create some presets for songs my band does, and doing my best to re-create the guitar tones of the songs. Having trouble with the Whammy settings tho. I can’t figure out how to get a nice smooth sound if using the pedal sorta fast. If I use it slow, the pitch ascends and descends in pitch nice and smooth, but if I move it fast, there is a very clear audible “stepping” of the notes up and down.
See here for an example https://youtu.be/IrWaUHm4z5I?t=83 - pardon my sloppy playing.

Can anyone help with what settings I need to change, or is this a limitation of the quad cortex?

Thanks.

Figured it out. Had the expression pedal set to the wrong parameter. Stupid mistake.

Hey there how did you figure this out? I’m having the same problem.

Well, in my case, I had assigned to expression pedal to “toe pitch” instead of assigning it to “pedal”. That switch fixed everything for me.

Not wanting to bring up an old post but I wanted to stay thank you. I was having the same issue where the pedal was doing “steps” instead of a smooth whammy sound. Turns out I had the whammy settings on pedal, toe pitch, and heel pitch. Once I removed the toe/hell pitch everything sounds as expected.

Thanks for posting your fix.
