Other Functions

This section describes how to use the internal expression pedal as well as an external pedal or foot switch.
Use of the A2.1u as an audio interface or direct box is also explained.

Making settings for the

built-in expression pedal

The expression pedal on the top panel of the
A2.1u lets you adjust effect parameters or the
volume in real time during play. It also can serve
to adjust the feedback control frequency with
your foot. Which element is controlled by the
pedal can be selected for each patch individually.

For information about parameters that can be
controlled by expression pedal, see pages 30 – 38.

1.

Select the patch for which the
expression pedal is to be used.

2.

Set the Module selector to
"CONTROL".

The A2.1u switches to edit mode, allowing you to
make expression pedal and foot switch settings.

3.

Turn parameter knob 1 to select one
of the following modules or
parameters to be controlled by the
expression pedal.

• The module to be controlled can also be selected

with the [PEDAL ASSIGN] key (

p. 18).

• Which parameter changes when the expression

pedal is operated depends on the effect type
selected for the module. For details, see pages 30 –
38.

• When the COMP/LIMIT, TONE, MOD/EFX, or

DELAY/REVERB module is selected, the pattern in
which the parameter changes when the expression
pedal is operated can be selected. For details, see
page 37.

4.

If necessary, store the patch.

The expression pedal setting is stored as part of
the patch.

5.

Select the patch in play mode and
operate the expression pedal.

The selected function will be activated.

When the A2.1u 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 A2.1u is adjusted for
optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes,
readjustment may be necessary. If the volume or
sound does not change much also 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.
