Volume Pedal Update
The GNX4 lets you select the Expression Pedal’s position to be updated, after changing presets,when it is
linked to the Volume Parameter. This feature lets you change presets and keep the volume level from the
previous preset,if the Expression Pedal controls the volume for both presets. If this feature is disabled,
new presets are set to the volume level value stored with the preset.The procedure for enabling or
disabling the Volume Pedal Update is as follows:

4.When finished, press EXIT.
V-Switch Threshold/Sensitivity
Applying extra pressure to the toe of the Expression Pedal engages a feature called V-Switch. V-Switch is
used to alternate between controlling assigned Parameter(s) with the pedal,and using the pedal as a Wah
pedal.The sensitivity of the V-Switch can be set to the amount of pressure you want to use. The following
steps explain how to set the V-Switch Threshold:

vSWItCH (V-Switch).
3.Rotate the DATA WHEEL to select the threshold setting. Ranges are from

adjustments. Use the V-Switch LED as an indicator of the switching status.
4.When finished, press EXIT.

The Expression Pedal on the GNX4 needs to be recalibrated for use after a factory reset has been
