      Damn touch screens and their text-box auto-abort feature!

        Maybe it is the umlaut mod.

          I find the 3 dot method a much better way to change voltage.

            Dot's a good point. But I am not sold on this approach, PERIOD.

                Solar ellipsis or lunar ellipsis?

                      Dot mess with daz. Sometimes you just dot see the error in your logic before you post. You have to erase it or just leave the post up and look foolish like you dot have skills.

                      Dammit! I forgot my n's again.

                        Ahhhh, ya bastids !!! Sure, have fun at my expense just cuz i'm a sub moron. Sub morons have feelings too ya know ! Ok, on a serious note, i have a question where the original one was till i answered it myself. So in this digital expression pedal theres a light or movement sensor or whatever that the pedal swipes a white plastic thingamajig by to change the volume level. I can read resistance changes in one position to the other in 2 places. Do you think i could remove the sensor and put a pair of resistors in it's place to mimick a given pedal position that i've read and noted? Basically what i want to do is use a DPDT switch to switch between the resistors so i can switch between two levels of my choosing based on the resistance i read at the pedal positions i need to switch between. Does this sound doable? I just basically want a switch to choose between 2 levels rather than have to rock a pedal back and fourth trying to find the right lower level.

                          Are you using the pedal for anything other than a 2-position volume control?
                          If not, just jam a shim under the lever so it stops at the desired lower level!

                            I already thought of that and also just configuring he heel/toe settings in a certain way but the thing is i hate having to build a new pedal board for it and it's heavy and cumbersome. Plus i could use a 4PDT switch and have it set up with a LED. So fir a number of reasons i can't/don't want to use the pedal.

                            I had the guts out of it with my last amp and just mounted in the board and it was great. But that amp allowed me to configure it in it's firmware so i could make it work without having to mod it. this new mp doesn't have the same config so i can't use it the same way.

                              You can build a new pedal ............ hey!!!! ..... stop hitting me with a lead pipe ........ it hurts !!!!!!!!
                              Just a passive one in *any* case, even a sardine can (emptied of sardines of course)

                              Input/output jacks, SPDT switch (or better), 2 fixed resistors or, way better, a 1M volume pot, switch selects between full and attenuated signal, whatever value you wish.
