Solo Boost without the Mark V Footswitch

[theroan]

Hey all,

I'm curious and confused. Right now I am channel switching the Mark V via Line 6 M13 and Mini Amp Gizmo. If I have this running, can I still plug an external latching switch into the Ext. Switching input to use the solo boost?

The manual seems to contradict itself.

I would assume so. I externally switch solo boost on and off using my GCX.

you can't go through the amp gizmo to control that too? i thought that was one of the many controls it had (to cover all the functions of the mark v fs)?

or is it because you want to have a global ext. button on top of the m13 presets? i would think that changing the preset would cause you to lose whatever the the solo setting already was set to.

couldn't you just...try it? :wink:

can't you just assign the solo function on the gizmo to a patch number on the M13?

+1 that's what i meant

You can, but it has to be programmed in. I can't on the fly add the boost feature a setting that doesn't have it. I want it for on the fly purposes. As the M13 only has 12 preset options per scene, I'd have to use up settings that have boost.

mm. i see. contact ron @ rjm and ask him about the best method to get around this.

i would've just dedicated a button for instant access to the boost, but i guess the m13 won't handle that....

I too have this setup and if you could post your outcome for the solo boost m13/ mini switcher/mkV set up it would be enlightning.

i second this. rjm has outstanding customer service and answers very promptly through email.

I just got that working on my GT-10 using an external CTL footswitch. I configured the system to send CC#93 MIDI Continuous Change values when CTL 3 is pressed (in toggle mode) which in turn toggle the num 6 switch on the minigizmo. You need to find that sort of action on your M13.
