Using an Optional Foot Switch or Pedal
The G2 is equipped with a [CONTROL IN] jack designed for connection of an optional foot switch or
expression pedal. This section explains how to use these accessories.
Using the foot switch (FS01)
Connecting the optional foot switch FS01 to the
[CONTROL IN] jack allows changing banks with
the foot switch while the unit is in play mode. It is
also possible to switch bypass/mute on and off,
control the tap tempo function, or perform other
functions with the foot switch.
1. Plug the cable from the FS01 into the
[CONTROL IN] jack, and then turn the
G2 on.
2. Set the Module selector to the
"CONTROL" position.
The G2 goes into edit mode. You can now make
settings for the expression pedal and foot switch.
3. Turn Parameter knob 2 to select one
of the following functions for the foot
switch.
● bP (bypass/mute)
The foot switch controls bypass or mute on/off.
This has the same effect as pressing both [
W]/
[
Q] foot switches at the same time in play
mode.
● tP (tap tempo)
Pressing the foot switch repeatedly can be used
to set the interval for the rhythm function or to
make settings for effect parameters supporting
the tap function. This has the same effect as
pressing the [TAP] key.
● bU (bank up)
Each push of the foot switch switches to the
next higher bank. This has the same effect as
pressing the BANK [+] key.
● rH (rhythm on/off)
The foot switch controls start/stop of the
rhythm function. This has the same effect as
pressing the RHYTHM [
R/P] key.
● dH (delay hold)
The foot switch controls on/off of the delay
hold function. When a patch using the hold
function is selected, pressing the foot switch
will activate hold, causing the current delay
sound to be repeated (see illustration below).
Pressing the foot switch once more cancels the
hold condition, and the delay sound will decay
normally.

• For information on effect parameters supporting the
tap function, see pages 23 – 29.
• To use the hold function, an effect type that
supports the hold function must be selected in the
patch. For details, see pages 23 – 29.
•While the delay module is set to hold or mute, the
dot in the center of the display flashes.
4. Select the patch in play mode and
operate the foot switch.
The selected function will be activated. This
function applies to all patches.
Using the expression pedal
(FP01/FP02)
Connecting an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) to
the [CONTROL IN] jack allows using it as a
volume pedal or for adjusting an effect parameter
in real time.
The function selection for the expression pedal is
saved for each patch individually.
For information on parameters that can be
adjusted with the expression pedal, please refer to
pages 23 – 29.
1. Plug the cable from the expression
pedal into the [CONTROL IN] jack,
and then turn the G2 on.
2. Select the patch for which you want
to use the expression pedal.
3. Set the Module selector to the
"CONTROL" position.
The G2 goes into edit mode.
4. Turn Parameter knob 1 to select one
of the following modulation targets
for the expression pedal (see page
30).

•Which parameter changes when the expression
pedal is operated depends on the selected module.
For details, see pages 23 – 29.
• The pattern in which the expression pedal alters the
parameter can be selected in edit mode. There are
four choices (
→ p. 30).
5. If necessary, save the patch.
The expression pedal setting is saved as part of
the patch.
6. Select the patch in play mode and
operate the expression pedal.
The selected function will be activated.
In the bypass condition, the expression pedal
always operates as a volume pedal, regardless of
the setting made in step 4.
