1. EXPRESSION PEDAL TO SPEED 
 
This setting is primarily intended to enable control of the LFO rate with an expression pedal, but 
can also be used for Envelope and Hot Hand modes. Note that when the pedal is set to 
Envelope mode, the Speed Knob is divided into two regions. 
 
2. EXPRESSION PEDAL TO SWEEP RANGE 
 
This setting enables expression pedal control of the depth and/or direction of the envelope filter 
sweeps. 
 
To exclusively control the depth of the filter sweeps, set the knob to 12 o’clock and the ‘XD’ 
parameter to half of its maximum positive (+6) for upward sweeps or negative (-6) for downward 
sweeps. 
 
To exclusively control the direction of the filter sweeps, set the knob to its full counter-clockwise 
position and set the ‘XD’ setting to its maximum positive position (+12). In this setting, the 
expression pedal will have a maximum negative filter sweep when in its backmost position and a 
maximum positive filter sweep when in its full forward position with variations in between. The 
zero modulation point will occur in the center of the pedals range. 
 
3. EXPRESSION PEDAL TO WET/DRY MIX 
 
This setting enables expression pedal control of the wet/dry mix. As the maximum ‘dry’ setting 
occurs at 12 o’clock on the Mix Knob, it is advisable to set the knob to 12 o’clock and the ‘XD’ 
parameter to half of its maximum positive (+6) or negative (-6) position depending on the 
preferred mix settings (see MIX knob explanation on page 9 of the Owner’s Manual). 
 
To set the maximum dry sound to the full forward position of the expression pedal, either set the 
Mix Knob to its full counter-clockwise position and the ‘XD’ parameter to half of its maximum 
positive position or set the Mix Knob to its full clockwise position and the ‘XD’ parameter to half of 
its maximum negative position. 
 
4. EXPRESSION PEDAL TO MODULATION 
 
This setting is primarily intended to allow an expression pedal to control modulation in a similar 
fashion to a standard wah-wah pedal. This will turn the expression pedal into a new modulation 
source to be directly summed with the selected primary modulation sources of the (Envelope, 
LFO, or Hot Hand). 
 
For standard wah pedal functionality, disable the primary modulation signal by setting the Sweep 
Range knob to 12 o’clock and set the ‘XD’ parameter to its desired range of positive or negative 
modulation. 
 
Many of the filter effect types feature multiple filter shapes sweeping in varied directions. To 
emulate the linear sweeps of a standard wah pedal, it is advisable to select one of the less 
complex filter effect types such as the Single Peak or 2 Pole Low Pass settings. 
 
Even more unique wah pedal sounds can be achieved through various combinations of 
expression pedal modulation with the primary modulation sources enabled by moving the Sweep 
Range knob away from it’s neutral 12 o’clock position. 
 
5. EXPRESSION PEDAL TO FREQUENCY
