C2 Rotary speed footswitch problem

Post by C2manyStages »

Hi
I am not able to get my C2 to toggle fast and slow speeds with a foot switch. It will only work in the momentary switch mode. I have tried several pedals and this seems to have started when I updated the software to 2.0 but I can't be sure. Will someone with a C2 check this out for me? I would be grateful.
Thanks from Seattle,

Do you mean that with a momentary foot switch you can't change speeds, or you have to hold down the pedal to maintain tremelo?
Pretty sure that's how it works. I intend on getting the half-moon switch to circumvent that.
P.S for the rock thing I ride the footswitch constantly!! :D

It gives you a choice of "momentary" (only fast while foot is pressed) and "Toggle" (one foot press and release to change speed). I am almost certain that this functioned properly before I updated. It works fine with my half moon (Nord) but only works at momentary with a standard sustain pedal. I was hoping someone would hook up a sustain pedal to the rotary speed jack and change the settings to momentary and toggle and confirm that this works correctly on his/her C2.
Thanks

I just did and it works just fine. I had never switched it before now. Version 2.00

You got me thinking, so I tried three different pedals, a Yamaha FC-5, FC-4 and a crappy old Boss one. All worked the sim in Toggle mode. Cheers Mike

Thanks Mike,
It must be a problem with my control input jack. No big deal, I use the buttons usually and have the halfmoon as well.
Thanks again.
