Looking for ideas on how to set up this scene.
Got a song that needs me to quickly switch between the wah function and a non-wah, boosted sound. No time to move my foot any more than the rocking motion of the pedal.
I was messing with the various pedal assign options, but none of them allows me to engage the boost at the top or bottom or upon stopping the motion. All it will do is _bypass_ the boost. Seems like the opposite should be possible, too, but it won’t let me. I’m wondering if this is a bug.
Thoughts?

So you want non-boosted, boosted and wah andyou are trying to switch between just using the exp pedal to turn the wah on and off with the stop moving option?

what are you using for the boost? I’ll try to duplicate.
Can you upload your preset to the Cloud?

No, I want wah with no boost toggling to no wah with boost. Toggleable from the pedal itself. I’m happy to use whichever mode of the expression pedal assignment options will pull this off. 🙂 Looks like it should be doable, but see below, I guess not. 🙁

FYI, after checking the manual I’ve decided that what I wanted to do is not possible because of design limitations with the QC. Assigning an expression pedal to a block’s bypass function can only enable the bypass, not disable it.
Chief BD2 is my boost of choice. This is my first time sharing an upload. Hope I did it right. Let me know. Check out my detailed description for more than you wanted to know. Thanks.
