Using a Foot Switch or Expression Pedal
You can connect an optional foot switch (such as the BOSS
FS-5U or Roland DP-2) or expression pedal (such as the
Roland EV-5 or BOSS FV-300L) to the FOOT SW/EXP
PEDAL jack on the rear panel, allowing you to use your foot
to control a number of functions.
fig.05-101
* Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5, FV-300L;
optional). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
* With the EV-5 and FV-300L, set the MIN volume to 0.
* You can also use an FS-6 (optional) for the foot switch. If
using an FS-6, connect to only one of the FS-6's jacks, either
the A or B jack. Additionally, set the polarity switch to “FS-
5U.” The A&B jack cannot be used.
