Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

You don't have a proper connection to the CTRL/EXP jack so I wouldn't expect it to do anything you actually want. I have no idea how the jack is wired, but it's dual function. You can have two footswitches via TRS cable, or expression via TRS cable. So it's expecting particular signals on that jack. The concept of using audio signals is interesting though, like a side-chained compressor. Though I believe you can do that without using CTRL/EXP at all, simply send a mono signal into INPUT L and your sidechain into INPUT R and pick an algorithm that allows a COMP that can trigger off INPUT R and I'd think it could affect the INPUT L signal. Assuming there's such a COMP in the unit. But I thought I hit on some effects that allowed you to pick the channel triggering it.

Anyway, that's a different discussion than what you're talking about.
