Tips for Creative Controller Assignment
• If you assign a footswitch to more than one controller or other item, "MUL-
TIPLE (X)" on the scribble strip isn't very descriptive. Don't forget to custom
label it - See "Customizing a Command Footswitch Label"
• By default, a parameter's Min and Max values will be pretty extreme. It pays to
play pretty conservative here, as subtle parameter adjustments go a long way
• To smoothly blend between the tone on parallel paths A and B, select a Split
> A/B block and assign the Route To parameter to an expression pedal. By
default, a heel-down position means the signal passes fully through Path A.
Moving the pedal toward the toe-down position will gradually crossfade into
Path B. Alternatively, assign a footswitch to control the Route To parameter, for
instantly switching back and forth
• If you're looking for a gritty boost for a solo, instead of adding a Distortion
block, try assigning a footswitch to increase both the Mid and Channel Volume
parameters of an Amp+Cab, Amp, or Preamp block
• If you're looking for an ultra-clean boost, instead of adding a Volume/Pan >
Gain block, try assigning a footswitch to increase the Level parameter of a
Merge > Mixer or Output block
• If you have a favorite delay or reverb pedal, use an FX Loop block to insert
it into your tone. Assign EXP 1, 2, or 3 to control the block's Mix parameter,
which will smoothly blend the pedal into your tone
• For extreme psychedelic dub delay squeals, assign a footswitch to both in-
crease a Delay's feedback and decrease its time
• Assign a footswitch to toggle between two Delay > Time parameter values,
such as 1/4 and 1/8 dotted
• Assign the tone knob on your JTV Variax or Variax Standard guitar to a Pitch
Wham block's Position parameter. Watch guitarists in the audience try to

• Assign multiple Amp+Cab parameters to a single switch. With enough as-
signments, you could almost treat the switch as an A/B amp channel switcher
• Assign Mic or IR Select to a footswitch. Set the two mic models or IRs as min
and max values. Now you can instantly toggle between two mics or two IRs
Clearing a Block's Controller Assignment(s)
1. From the Controller Assign screen, select the block whose
controller assignments you want to clear and press ACTION.
2. Press Knob 1 (Clear Controllers).
Clearing All Controller Assignments
1. From the Controller Assign screen, press ACTION.
2. Press Knob 2 (Clear All Controllers).
The following dialog appears:
OKCancel
Clear all controller assignments from every block?
3. Press Knob 6 (OK).
IMPORTANT! Clearing All Controller Assignments also removes the Wah
and Volume assignments from EXP 1 and EXP 2. Use this function with
caution!
Customizing a Controller Footswitch Label
As there's no room for a dedicated Customize button on the Controller Assign page,
customizing scribble strips for footswitches only assigned to one or more controllers
must be done from the "Command Center" page.
SHORTCUT: Once any item has been assigned to a footswitch, touch and hold
the footswitch (but don't press), and a Customize button appears above Knob 5.
