  Subject: [gsp-2101] Setting up the FC


    
  Ok, now that my repairs have proven to be working, and now that I can successfully run and use MidiWizard, I'm on my next step and need more advice. I have read the manual and it is not addressing my questions on how to do a few things with this pedal. So, I'll ask a few questions, and if someone can help me with them, that would be awesome. (please note I have the 1st gen GSP 2101 fc, not the Control One.)

  #1) can I name my user banks or am I stuck with the numbers? If so, how?

  I may be going about this the wrong way but I thought maybe I could set up banks where I would have up to 10 programs that successively get more and more involved-

  Bank 1                                                              Bank 2
  user 1 clean                                                       user 1 light saturated tube         
  user 2 clean with light chorus                               user 2 more saturation   
  user 3 clean with more chorus                              user 3 lots of saturation with chorus
  user 4 clean with light delay                                 user 4 lots of saturation with flanger
  Etc. Etc...





  #2) Just how the hell do you get the wha to work with the expression pedal? I've tried setting up a new algorithm with the effect, but it doesn't do anything with the pedal.  I haven't had a wha pedal for years and I'd like to have one again! It does work under some of the factory programs and I tried to mimic them in my algorithm but I can't figure out how to make it work with that pedal. Is it supposed to be 16 or do I need to change it? Do I need to link the expression pedal to the effect or something?



  Thanks for any help.
