John, please could you PM me the schematic for the latching tap tempo switch?
Many thanks.

Did you make a tap tempo switch yet? Did it work for you through one of the expression ports with your GMajor 2?

Hi, yes, made the switch - very simple to do - and it works beautifully with the G Major 2.
It's a very small pedal and I have it beside the Ground Control Pro on my pedal board (I previously controlled tap tempo with one of the Instant Access buttons but needed to free it for other duties), connected to Expr. Pedal input 2, Pedal input 1 being for the Ernie Ball volume pedal used as an expression pedal.
It's been really easy to set up the parameters which are controlled by tap tempo within the G Major 2 patches and I now have the level of control over everything that I wanted, so a real success.
Thanks again to John!

I think the schematic is something I might need too John if that's possible.

I tried using a Boss FS-5U from Pedal 1 for Tap Tempo on my Axe Fx and it didn't work, someone told me it was because the pedal inputs are TRS not mono. Is that the case?

This is specifically for connecting to the Ground Control Pro... if you are connecting your Tempo switch directly to your AxeFX then you will want to contact Fractal to find what type of switch is needed.
