8. PEDAL STATUS
The PEDAL STATUS is for use with the built-in expression pedal. By setting the RUN STAT pa-
rameter to ON, the UTOPIA G200B will track the position of the expression pedal (assuming the expres-
sion ped al is pr esently or had been pr eviously assigned to "PEDAL VOLU") and var y the pr eset volume
accordingly from preset to preset. NOTE: When the RUN STAT is ON, the expression pedal will as-
sume the last PEDAL VOLUME status r eceived . Please see examples below:
Example 1..... lets assume that you had RUN STAT turned ON and that the preset you are using and
the pr eset y ou ar e switching to both have the expr ession Ped al Contr oller s assigned PEDAL VOLUME.
If you were to reduce the volume of the current preset with the expression pedal and then changed to
another preset, the new preset will assume the present position of the expression pedal. You WILL be
able to increase the volume of the new preset with the expression pedal as both presets had the expres-
sion Ped al Contr oller s assigned to PEDAL VOLUME.
Example 2 .... assuming you have RUN STAT turned ON and you have reduced the volume of the
current preset with the expression pedal and changed to a preset where the expression Pedal Control-
lers were assigned to control the Pitch Shift or Chorus or Reverb, etc. the new preset will assume the
pr evious pr eset's ped al volume. However , y ou will N OT be able to use the ped al to incr ease the volume
as you did in example 1. With RUN STAT turned ON, you would need to switch back to a preset that
had the expression Pedal Controllers assigned to pedal volume, use the expression pedal to increase the
volume and then switch back to the other preset.
This is something you should take into consideration when using the RUN STAT function.
The PEDAL STATUS parameter displays the current preset volume as determined by the pedal posi-
tion.
NOTE: When the RUN STAT parameter is set to OFF, the UTOPIA G200B only recognizes
volume changes from the expression pedal if PEDAL VOLUME is assigned to the pedal and it
has been physically moved by the user.
Turn the FUNCTION SELECT knob clockwise until PEDAL STATUS is displayed. Step 1
