STEVE..great intro to what should be very informative deep dives into the foot switch and what it controls. Glad to be part of this channel. Your choice of music had me running for my Hawaiian shirt and flip flops. Surfs up!
Toney Davis Boom! Thanks man! I went to Hawaii two years ago and have been wanting to get back there and go surfing again. Maybe I’ll move there someday and do live looping streams right on the beach 🏖
Steve, I just want to thank you for all that you share on here. I bought this amp over the summer and did so in part because all that you have posted. I have only really downloaded your presets and some presets playing from Fender Play. I have wanted to really understand the looping process and this is a tremendous help. Please keep doing what your doing sir and God bless.
Wow, that means a lot! Really appreciate it, and the channel has grown nicely because of people like you. Glad it’s all a big help, and more to come! Thanks for sharing and subscribing 🎸🤙 God bless too!
Steve, you can also use the foot switch to control a set list that you setup, so you don’t have to put “your” tones in order on the amp. The trick is making the set list, and then selecting that set list on the AMP, and then those presets will be available on the foot switch in order 1 through whatever the set list has in it.
BFRedrocksArizona Boom! 💥 Great comment. I didn’t know that, so I will check that out and probably reference it in an upcoming video. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for spreading the word about the channel!
Hey, FYI, I filmed a video this week and mentioned you by name, and I read this comment out. Look for it in the coming days. Also gave a big shout out to the gear page forum and that epic mustang thread!
@@SteveGuitar Which video mentions me by name? You have so many now...love them all but tough to keep track. LOL! BTW, you helped solve my number 1 issue with my looping...it's all about timing the start/stop on the "1." Thanks!
My gtx 100 comes in three days and I can’t wait. I sold my boss rc 10 and another modeling amp. This thing just does it all and sounds pretty damn good for what it is.
Hey you did a good job on this I'm picking up one of these amps tomorrow waiting for the FedEx guy to come from Sweetwater I will definitely be checking out more of your videos you did a great job on it
Steve - great demo! the explanations at in the back half of the demo were very helpful. I notice that you press the Dub button on the FS, but then might not play for a bit.... does the dub start when you start playing, or when you press the button on the FS. Looking forward to hearing more about the "how" of looping. Especially about how you lay in the dubs, and the thinking around timing of the overdubs.
Thanks for the good words, Scott! You know, that's a great question. I can't remember if you can click Dub at any time and start recording and if it just lets you start dubbing right then without having to wait for the loop to start again. I think that's how it works. This weekend, I'm going to film a long (30-45 minute) geeky exploration of everything like that on the looper, for those that just want to watch someone fiddling around and answering hopefully every possible question. Then, I'll do shorter videos after once I know all the answers ;-) Sound cool?
Hi Steve. A have an older model GT200 amp which came with the MGT4 footswitch. I really like this new footswitch and am wondering if you know whether I can use the GTX7 with the GT200, while still maintaining all of the functionality of the GTX7?
Well, I wish I could give you the answer, but I’m not positive. I do know the four button foot switch works with the new GTX 50 and 100, but I don’t know if it’s the other way around. I guess the only way to know is to try, or you could ask some of the experts at the gearpage. Go to their digital and modeling forum and search for the GTX thread that is like 100 pages long or more. Lots of experts there!
@@juliopalacios1025 www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/the-official-fender-mustang-gtx-amp-thread-2020.2113060/page-290 That’s the thread, but you could post a new question and see if you get new answers now.
Hey, I'm not positive about this, but I don't believe it will work. I'd love others to chime in. But I think the LT25 uses a different 2-button footswitch (because the GTX7 has buttons for the looper and more). I'll reply back if I learn of anything else!
Can this footswitch juggle between changing patches and turning individual assignable effects on/off in real time? I've been trying to decide between this and a second Boss Katana 100.
Thanks for the video, man. Due to I'm not a native english listener I'm still having one principal doubt about the 4 buttons switchfoot, and I want to resolve it because I'm considering buying it, so I hope you have a little time to help me. Basically I understand that you can set up 3 effects in each 3 buttons (lets say I choose button 1-Distortion, button 2-Clean and button 3-Tremolo). Here's my doubt: Is it possible to after using that set up quickly change it to another where the effects are others (for example: 1-Chorus, 2-Flanger 3-Phaser)? I need that function for live giging! I hope I express myself clear. Thanks a lot once again!
Hi, thanks for watching and subscribing, and I understand your question. I currently have the new GTX7 footswitch, and it has five buttons. It also works for the older GT amps, not just the GTX ones. I have a four part video series that you can watch that shows it in action. To answer your question, yes, you can switch between five different presets, and each preset can have up to five different effects. So one preset could have chorus Delay Flanger overdrive and phaser, and the next one could have tremolo Delay and chorus. Check out this video and then click around to the series.th-cam.com/video/Md-R34QJX4g/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps, and thanks for subscribing!
Good question, Andre. I don't know for sure. I'd be curious if someone else who has a GT could answer. But my guess would be yes. I know the GT40 worked with the old pre-GT 4 button footswitch, so I think Fender makes them somewhat cross-amp-platform.
In Mexico the Fender MGT-4 4-button is sold out, demand is high and the price has gone up. However this 7-button model is much cheaper because many have not yet realized that with the software update can be used in the GT models, this comment has made me save something like 43 dollars, thanks!
I’ve never used the expression pedal. I’m pretty sure you can use the one fender sells for this amplifier but not sure if it’s at the same time as the other foot switch. Maybe check the manual?
Does anyone know if you can use the footswitch with a different looper and still record the different effects? The footswitch only seems to work if it’s connected to the back of the amp which means I have to have the same guitar preset on each loop
Liam Cannell Great question. I will let others answer as well, but you can only plug these fender footswitches into the back of the amp. You can use another looper pedal in between your guitar and the input jack on the top of the amp, but then… Yes, all of your loops go into that one preset, so you can’t change tones. That’s really the beauty of this footswitch being built into the amp. You can record clean track with no delay, for example, and then add in a high gain lead tone and more effects on the second loop, then do something different for the third.
Steve Guitar thanks for the reply! So that means if I want to use a different looper like one of the boss ones (the fender footswitch one is great but sometimes I like longer than a minute) I have to accept that I’ll only be able to hear one preset across all loops when using that different looper?
Every time I turn on my amp, in order for it to connect to my phone I have to go to settings on the amp and clear the Bluetooth and restart it. It will then connect, but I wish i didn’t have to do this. Anyone know of a way around this or have this problem too?
I think this video of mine might help: th-cam.com/video/Af93ngaCG04/w-d-xo.html. I talk through how you click to start and stop your loop on the 1 count of a 4 bar count 👍

Hi just wondering if this pedal would work with any amp with a foot switch option on it?

I made the same mistake hitting the record button when I was done.
Funny. It’s pretty anti-climatic when you expect to end a loop and nothing goes right :-)
Can you use this pedal with an Fender Mustang LT25 amp? And if not, what kind of footswitch can I use with that amp?

I’m alright until it comes to the time to press the switch then that’s when it all falls down.. You’ve got it off to a fine art. Any tips?
Actually, I've got 5 tips for ya ;-) th-cam.com/video/Af93ngaCG04/w-d-xo.html ... The first one might help the most: Timing. Let me know if it helps!
Can this footswitch juggle between changing patches and turning individual assignable effects on/off in real time? I've been trying to decide between this and a second Boss Katana 100.
Yes, you click a button t switch from patch mode to effects mode (or looper mode), in which case the 5 buttons take on all new functions … on the fly.
Does this work with the lt50?

Yes. I have used the GTX-7 successfully with my GT-40. Be sure to update the firmware on the amp.

From everything I've heard from numerous people, YES!
Can this foot switch be ran wireless
I wish, but unfortunately not. It plugs into the back of the amplifier, which is what makes the connection
Every time I turn on my amp, in order for it to connect to my phone I have to go to settings on the amp and clear the Bluetooth and restart it. It will then connect, but I wish i didn’t have to do this. Anyone know of a way around this or have this problem too?
I have the same problem! Would love to hear of a fix for this.
@@robintrenda1170 I still haven’t found one. Let me know if you ever figure it out! I’m using an up to date iPhone.
Any idea if this will work with a fender gt40 amp?
Read the comments below. Apparently it does
Yes it does. The GT40 has pretty much all the same functions as the GT100
Every time I record it has a slight pause, how do I get the rhythm track to have no pause?
