Digitech GSP 1101 & VL Ground Control Pro HELP!

[Jeremy]

I think this is perhaps a terminology mixup...

The Ground Control Pro Instant Access button will send the bypass/enable Control Change message that will turn the effect on and off.

The Expression Pedal will send the real time data to sweep the Whammy effect using a different Control Change message. Also, the Expression Pedal's function is programmed per Ground Control Pro preset. If you have not programmed the current Ground Control Pro preset then nothing will happen when sweeping the Expression Pedal. In order to program the expression pedal target device and function, look up the Using Expression Pedals section under Edit Preset in the Ground Control Pro manual.

If that does not help you then answer these two things for me and I will try to walk you through the Ground Control Pro setup steps...
1. What is the Control Change command for controlling the bypass of the Whammy on the 1101?
2. What is the CC command for controlling the Whammy sweep on the 1101?

Ah I see now. That totally clears up that then. I am able to sweep when using a preset (that was easy to get working) I was just hoping that instead of using up a preset slot for the Whammy I could create an Instant Access switch to use at any time which I am learning now is not going to be possible.

The GSP1101 is just not what I am after I am finding so I think it's time to get a GCX and go back to pedals........

Sorry to hear it's not working out for you. Guess that's how the circle of gear goes. I ended up going back to the Axe FX for more flexibility.

No worries JJ! It's a great unit none-the-less, just not for me in the end. I gave it a try and found out that I am just a pedal guy. The circle continues...

My bass player is laughing at me and giving me the "I told you so" every practice now.
