Hello, I wnted to ask if in some way is possble to have the same patch 
effects
with a pedal switch inssted of using patch select button. I find quite 
uncomfortable those 2 buttons
while playing the keyboard, and I am searching an alternative method to 
trigger the button functions.
Is it possible with a pedal and if so how ?
thank you

EASY! There is a pedal jack on the rear that will take a dual pedal (with a stereo-type plug). Go to MASTER menu and select FOOTSWITCH, the assign FS1 to PATCH L, and FS2 to PATCH R. Sorry, but unlike the TS series, there is only one dual jack - so if you want to access BOTH pasch select buttons via pedals, you'll have to give up sustain. OPTION: get a cheap keyboard and MIDI it to the VFX, then plug your sustain pedal into THAT keyboard and let it send the MIDI control for sustain to the VFX.
