Fender Tone Master Pro - How To Set Up Your Expression Pedal!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This has become one of the most frequently asked questions concerning the Tone Master Pro, so I made a video that shows 4 different examples of setting up an expression pedal for this modeler. Let me know if you have any questions!

    i just realized i can use it for a volume swell on one preset - then instantly switch to a second preset and have it be used as a Wah pedal! this is incredibly versatile ! thank you!!

    Thanks for unlocking some of the mysteries here! You say the toe switch is only used to change the expression pedal effects from wah to volume, etc. But if you're just using it for a wah you can use the toe switch to turn it on and off. No auto detect needed. You don't actually need to assign a foot switch for the wah either.

    Doug, thanks for putting the time in and sharing. Editing, playing and tones were great. For me, on my pedalboard (with Iridium) and now the TMP, I use a lot of swells with ambient tones in Worship Music. One thing I noticed and changed on my board was putting all my compression, boosts, and drives/OD in front of my volume pedal (last pedal in the chain before hitting amp modeler and wet effects). That way, the drive pedals are receiving the guitar signal on whatever the guitar volume is (typically full 10 for me) and when the volume pedal is engaged toe side, the drive signal is full as you volume up. Suggest trying the volume pedal behind the Big Green right before the amp and see if that helps with this particular sample on the TMP.

Can I move bank Up and down buttons so that I can have my main preset on the first button instead of that button being bank down button....I also want to move the tuner to the top row......Is this possible

    Doug try a faster taper speed for the swells that may help… My problem is I am not getting global volume from preset to preset… Eg if I lower volume with Fender mission EP (expression pedal) on a preset to blend with the band and switch to next preset the volume jumps to 100% with EP halfway and no control until I push it all the way to the toe to gain control of the volume. Is there a work around this with the Fender mission pedal???

    Hey Doug thanks for your content about TMP Do you know any method to control how much of the signal goes to left and to the right using the expression pedal ? I’m thinking about a parallel signal path for a song that starts with left signal only and after some few bars the right signals comes in gradually using the expression pedal. Do you think is this achievable with the TMP ? Thanks dude

    Wow, good question. Let me do some research and get back to you, because I think this can be done. Are you looking to use the expression pedal just to switch between the top and bottom path, or do you also want it so the top path is only heard on the left side, and the bottom path is only heard on the right? So you'd be panning your signal as you change paths? That might be trickier, so let me know how you'd like it to work.

    Hey Doug, thank you for the video. Just what I needed! I have a question if you don't mind. I am exploring the same method you cover in 14:00, using both volume and wah pedals in expression pedal, and switching one from another with the toe switch. However the toe switch is momentary, it changes to the wah option only when fully depressed. When I move my feet back, pedal goes back to functioning as volume only. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think so. It looks like that pedal was designed for specific Fender amps. You just use a regular 1/4" cable to connect it, right? The TMP requires a TRS cable for the expression pedal connection.

    Hi Thanks for the information. I was wondering if I can use my Boss Ev30 as a volume pedal and a wah in the same chain. Thanks again

  • @DougBsDigitalDen

    @DougBsDigitalDen

    7 ай бұрын

    Technically no. The EV30 uses TRS outputs on both jacks, while the TMP needs to see one TRS and one TS. Also, the TMP uses the toe switch to switch from volume to wah, and the EV30 doesn't have a toe switch. However, as an alternative you might be able to use a footswitch on the TMP to toggle back and forth between the volume and wah blocks, and you would only need 1 TRS cable to go from OUT1 on your pedal into the TMP. Let me know how it works out for you.

    Fabio - I had replied to you, but then it disappeared. Your pedal is an analog volume pedal only; it's not an expression pedal as well. So if you plug your guitar into it, and then connect it to the TMP's Instrument jack, it should work as a volume pedal with no problems. But if you try to connect it to one of the expression pedal jacks - even with a TRS cable - it won't work. Hope this helps!

    Hi! Can I use the Mission Engineering EP1-KP-BK (version without the spring) instead of the SP1-TMP? Specifications seem to be the same, TRS for the Expression Pedal and TS for the Toe Switch. Also both have 10K Ω Linear potentiometers. I don't know if the switch makes a difference, EP1-KP-BK has a momentary switch, I can't find any information which switch is in the SP1-TMP, momentary or latching (would it make a difference, though?)... The EP1-KP-BK is 50 bucks cheaper and the SP1-TMP is out of stock everywhere at the moment anyway, that's why I'm asking... 😉

    So I ordered a 3PDT switch, put it in the EP1-KP and it works fine. All you have to do is solder the momentary switch out, solder the two wires on the 3PDT switch (one on one of the middle pins and one on one of the outer ones, for example 7 and 8 or 8 and 9 [...]) and you're done.

    Yes, TRS would suffice for either wah or volume, but if you're using it for wah you'll need to use 1 of your footswitches to turn the wah on and off, as the TM Pro doesn't have auto-detect (yet).
