GR-55: EXPRESSION WAH ASSIGNMENT
How to set the EXP pedal to be WAH in a GR-55 patch:
First, you should check to see if there is a System level setting that is interfering with your settings. Here is what to do:
1. Press [EDIT]
2. [PAGE < >] to EDIT SYSTEM PAGE
3. Press [ENTER]
4. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to PEDAL/GK CTL CONTROL
5. Press [ENTER]
6. [PAGE < >] to EXP ON
7. Set EXP SETTING to PATCH SETTING
8. Press [EXIT] once
9. [PAGE < >] to EXP SW
10. Set EXP ON FUNCTION to PATCH SETTING
Now the GR-55 is set up for independent PATCH specific programming with the EDIT MASTER PAGE.
All changes made will need to be WRITE/SAVED to the PATCH location.
Next, here are the steps to set the EXP pedal to be WAH when the EXP SWITCH is ON:
1. From the last step, press [EXIT] once
2. [PAGE < >] to EDIT MASTER PAGE
3. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to ASSIGN
4. Press [ENTER]
5. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to an unused ASSIGN (one that has its SWITCH parameter set to OFF)
6. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to set ASSIGN SWITCH to ON
7. Set TARGET to MOD WAH PEDAL POS
8. Set MIN to 0
9. Set MAX to 100
10. Set SOURCE to EXP ON
11. SET SOURCE MODE to MOMENT
This connects the EXP PEDAL and designates how to function when the SWITCH is turned ON.
Now designate how the SWITCH will function:
1. From the last step, press [EXIT] once
2. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to select PEDAL/GK CTL CONTROL
3. Press [ENTER]
4. [PAGE < >] to EXP SW
5. Set EXP SW FUNCTION to MOD SW
Connect the EXP SWITCH to turn ON the MOD EFFECT GROUP when activated ON.
MOD EFFECT is where the WAH EFFECT is located.
Now set the MOD GROUP to be the WAH EFFECT (check in case it is set to be something else).
1. From the last step, press [EXIT] once
2. [PAGE < >] to EFFECTS
3. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to select MOD
4. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to select and to set this to WAH
5. Press [ENTER] (you may have to press it twice)
6. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to select or cursor down to PARAM MODE
7. Set PARAM MODE to MANUAL
8. Use [CURSORS and DIAL] to select or cursor down to TYPE
9. Set this to the desired WAH PEDAL preferred.
10. SAVE these settings, press [WRITE] two times to WRITE/SAVE changes to this PATCH LOCATION.
