    GR-55 and FloorBoard newbie here.

    I am trying to use the CTL foot switch to enable/disable the SLDN amp's Solo SW. I can get that working (although I am not sure whether the Solo light on the amp and/or the On/Off light on the Assign need to be lit). Whenever I save/write the patch, the CTL light is on and the Solo is enabled when I return to the patch. I want the patch to start off with the CTL light off and Solo disabled. What am I missing?

    Thanks!

    Jon

    When SLDN Gain is High, the CTL switches between very low level clean and very high level distortion. I was hoping for moderate level distorted and loud distorted. Clearly I misunderstand the meanings of the controls, or I have set up some Assign improperly. I've attached my patch.

    Hi Jon, I had a look at your patch, and the problem was the CTL pedal Function was setup to switch the "amp on/off" so was disabling and bypassing the whole preamp section.
    I have amended the patch as attached here, where the CTL edal function just toggles the CTL pedal switch LED, and the assign does the preamp solo toggle.
    Set the CTL pedal status (on/off) in the position you require just before saving the patch.
    It is usually best to save the patch, then select another patch, then come back to the saved patch to check the pedal status is correct.

    Thanks. I compared your patch and mine and figured out what the differences were. Some of the differences were not intuitive (to me).

    The Patch Text Summary is useful, but I was surprised that the Save As did not save the text I was looking at: all I could see was a hex dump. I had to Select All and Copy and create text files manually, and then do a text file comparison.
