Auxiliary Switches
The rear panel Expression Pedal jack (labeled EXP) can be set to support three
independent momentary switches using Tip, Ring and Tip+Ring. In System Mode,
you can choose to use the EXP jack for either your Expression Pedal or Aux
Switches. Here’s how to select the Aux Switch:
1) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch simultaneously
for a few seconds to enter System Mode.
2) Turn the Knob until [UTILS] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.
4) Turn the Knob until [EXPTIP] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.
6) Turn the Knob to select [SWITCH]. Factory default choice is [PEDAL]
7) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch simultaneously
for a few seconds to exit System Mode.
The Aux Switches do not disable the H9’s Footswitches – the local Footswitches
are always active. Aux Switches can be programmed to perform a number of
functions and they make it easy to connect a dedicated Tap Tempo switch or
Performance Switch (Infinite Repeat, Flex, Fast/Slow, Learn) or Preset/Decrement
Switch, etc.
Some users may want to have all switch functions immediately available (the H9’s
two footswitches and three from the AUX Switch). A suggested set-up would be
using the H9’s Active and Tap footswitches and the AUX Switch assigned as preset
increment, preset decrement and performance switch. A set of three Aux Switches
can be connected and assigned accordingly.
Aux Switches can also be assigned to parameter values allowing you to switch
between two parameter values. For example, you could assign an Aux Switch to
toggle between Decay times of 1 and 5 sec. To program the Aux Switches see
System Mode.
Notes:
1) You must use a stereo phone ¼” plug to connect Aux Switches.
2) Latching Toggle switches are not supported. Only momentary switches will
work properly.
3) Simultaneously pressing the switch assigned to the Tip and the switch assigned
to the Ring will trigger the function assigned to the Tip+Ring.
