STEP-BY-STEP
Install FootCtrl app and configure pedal
1. Reverse the Chocolate pedal and point with your smartphone to the QR code below, this will drag you to the manufacturer website from where you will be able to download the app CubeSuit (Footctrl). This app is also available for iOS directly within the Apple Store.
2. Do not start the app yet.
3. Turn on the Chocolate pedal and turn on the Bluetooth on your smartphone. The led on the pedal will start blinking.
4. VERY IMPORTANT: double check localization on your smartphone to be active, if not turn it on, the Chocolate pedal uses a Bluetooth protocol that requires that to make the device visible.
5. Stay close to the Chocolate pedal with your smartphone and search for Bluetooth devices on your smartphone.
6. It will find a device name “FootCtrl”, click on it and pair it as for other devices. The blue led will now stay fixed.
7. Now open the app CubeSuit we just installed in previous steps.
8. The app will find immediately the “FootCtrl” device. The app may also list other Bluetooth devices you could have connected to the smartphone, for example your Mighty Air or Mighty plug device, please ignore that.
9. Make sure the “FootCtrl” device appears in a box fully green. If the device appears in a red box it means the app found it but could not recognize it. Follow previous steps.
10. Click on the green box named “FootCtrl” and you will be shown the main configuration screen.
11. At mid height of the configuration screen there is a rolling menu you can scroll. Whichever selection you make you will find a description on how it will work in the box above, if you are familiar with midi commands you could find it useful.
12. For our needs just select "Program Change B”. The selection will be immediately memorized in the pedal without pressing anything else.
13. Now close the CubeSuit app, you will not need it anymore unless you want to change the pedal behaviour.
Enable M-Vave within Mightier Amp app.
1. Now we will see how to enable the pedal within Mightier Amp, when done the pedal will be used as an input device and will make it possible to select options exactly as you would do directly touching your smartphone screen.
VERY IMPORTANT: detach the Chocolate pedal from your smartphone main Bluetooth, it would conflict with Mightier Amp and the pedal would never show up as a MIDI/HID device.
2. Open the Mightier Amp.
3. Click on rightmost tab (Settings), scroll down to the selection named “Remote Control…”, click on it.
4. You will see at least one voice “HID Input”, this allows using different devices, including the Chocolate pedal but it is a legacy option I would suggest you ignore for now.
5. Turn on the Chocolate pedal, make sure the blue light is blinking, if it would connect automatically with your smartphone Bluetooth turn it back off and on.
6. Press the button “Start Scanning” in Mightier Amp, the voice “FootCtrl” will shortly show up.
7. Touch that line, this will make it appear a small “gear” icon on the right.
8. Press the “gear” button for the settings.
9. Press “Channel Hotkeys”.
10. Press “Previous Channel” and press the leftmost button (A) on the Chocolate pedal, you will see “PC 0” appear in the text field. “PC 0” is the message sent from the pedal and it has been mapped to the function “Previous Channel”, so as you can imagine pressing the button will now move the selection in the app to the previous selection channel.
11. Press “Next Channel” and press the rightmost button (D) on the Chocolate pedal, you will see “PC 3” appear in the text field.
12. Press back button on your smartphone to return on the menu selection.
13. Press “Effect On/Off Hotkeys”
14. Assign second button (B) to “Toggle EFX” and third button (C) to “Toggle Reverb”.
Enjoy
1. Return to the main tab in the app (Editor) and try pressing the buttons, you will see changes taking place. Buttons A and D will scroll through channels, please note the colors changing.
2. Buttons B and C will toggle on and off the EFX and the Reverb in the presently selected channel.
3. By the way, you neither need to keep the screen on or the app in foreground, you will notice the system will work anyway even if you open something else (like your favorite tablature app). Quite convenient!!
Holy shit ! I have been searching how to control my Mighty Amp with a pedal for so long !! Thanks you so much for this tutorial !! 🙏👍
I am happy to know you liked it. I would suggest you to check the channel, there are some more recent videos which shows additional details. Have 😊
Thank you very very much.
Thank you for all your advice it’s seems I was using the wrong app I didn’t realise there was a MIGHTIER AMP
App all sorted now ,Thank you All once again.
Hi, you are welcome my friend, I am happy if I could help you. Have fun with that great device. P.S. stay tuned, another couple of videos are coming for the Mighty Air.
Super!
Great video!
Many thanks, glad you liked it
Thank you very much
My pleasure,👍👍😁. Stay tuned for the continuation going live tonight
Great tutorial, thank you very much 👍🏻
Nice tutorial. I'm already using a 1 footswitch Sky Turner page pedal (about €12 in Chinese online stores) in the same way. The advantages are the cost, the size (you can carry it in a pocket), no app needed for the switch configuration. It has 4 modes you can select directly with a device button.
My preferred configuration is very simple: single press = next effect, double press = previous effect. It's the cheapest solution I found and it works like a charm! 😊
Interesting alternative. Thanks for the remark. Would you mind checking if with your device you are able to control ultimate guitar tabs app. I couldn't with the chocolate but they say it is page turner compatible
@@TutoJamyes, it works perfectly, once the app is properly configured. I just had to go to Profile/Settings/Pedal interface, select "scroll tab down" and press my device switch once, then select "scroll tab up" and press my device switch twice.
Doing that I was able to scroll up and down all tabs.
I guess you can select your preferred functionality, of course (start/stop autoscroll, etc.).
Thanks for your test. Just a last question, are you using an Android or an iOs device? It would be fantastic if we were able to find out which are the MIDI commands sent by the page turner. I am interested in purchasing one
@@TutoJamI'm using an Android smartphone. But let me clarify that the Sky Turner is not a MIDI device, it's a HID (Human Interface Device). Specifically, it's seen as a gamepad having 4 buttons: RIGHT (mode 1, single press), LEFT (mode 1, double press), DOWN (mode 2, single press), UP (mode 2, double press). Modes 3 and 4 simulate right, left, down and up movements, like a mouse or a swipe touch.
Thanks, perfectly clear. I was asking as also the chocolate can simulate hid messages just like a gamepad or keyboard, but it seems ultimate guitar tab could not detect it. I will try again. Bye
this functionality of the app is INSANE! How can I support your development work?
Hi my friend, unfortunately I am not the author of this great app, I am only showing its use. If you want to support the author his name is Tuntori and you can donate on his GitHub page github.com/tuntorius/mightier_amp. If you want to support my channel you can become an affiliate but the easiest and completely inexpensive way is to share it with your friends and ask them to subscribe. I am very happy you found Mightier Amp so great, I had the same feeling and that is why I wanted to share it
Sir thank you for this video.
Video request can you do a video for NiUX MG300 and Mvave Chocolate at presets A option to make it work
Dear friend, I do not own an MG300 yet for testing. If I happen to borrow one in the near future I would do it for 😃
Great video sir! Do you know if I can use this on a tc helicon via trs cable?
I am sorry, cannot help you here, I do not own any for testing. Thank-you for appreciating the video.
Hi there and thanks a lot for this great tutorial - very informative! One thing that I thought about is if the tuner function in the app can be displayed on the M-Wave. Is it possible, or do you have to tune on the screen of your phone/tablet? Thanks for your help! Cheers!
Hi dear, I am very glad you liked it. Too bad what you are suggesting will never be possible
can i set this m-vave with my m3 blackstar amp and use it as a simple footswitch??
Hi, this is a digital footswitch, and it is focused on MIDI commands. If your amp can be controlled through midi it should be possible but this cannot replace a standard channel switch pedal
Thank you so much for this detailed guide. Can you assign this footswitch to control the loop and drum functions?
Hi, yes you can with latest version of mightier amp application. Of course if you own a device with that functionality ( for example, looper only on mighty space)
@@TutoJam Wonderful, thanks again. I've been using the official Mighty Amp app, I don't believe this app has support for wireless footswitches. I've downloaded the Mighter App and browsed the footswitch related settings, very versatile indeed, you can assign everything to a footswitch. Have ordered the M-Vave footswitch, look forward to setting it up when it arrives.
Foot switch arrived today. Got it all set up, was very easy. Using the advanced mode so I can make use of long button presses. Love it, thanks again for the useful information.
@SentinelGames really happy to help. Thank you very much for your feedback
Hi possible using the footswitch with Spark mini amp? I'm considering to buy this footswitch for my Spark mini. Cheers
Not sure about it, chocolate is highly configurable but I do not know a spark so cannot confirm. Best option would be for you to ask in Facebook groups
Thanks for the video, am I right in thinking that the mWave app can only be downloaded from their website and not the Google App Store? If so that’s very risk as its an app file.
You are correct. Infact in another video I also mention the need to allow external sources. At the best of my knowledge nobody reported matters with it but of course we are taking a risk... By the way, iOs version instead is within Apple store
This is great advice thank you but my screen doesn’t. have any settings option what am I doing wrong.
10:27 App version 3.6.1
Hi. Are you using Mightier Amp? NOT Mighty Amp. Settings tab is the last label on the bottom of the screen. Watch tutorial carefully focusing on screen touches.
@@TutoJam I am using the Mighty amp. I only have four options the last option in Setup not settings
@MarkSmith-kl9fq my dear, as I said this tutorial is made for Mightier Amp, not for Mighty Amp, you cannot apply what you see here on that app. Please install Mightier Amp and you will be fine
Grazie per il tutorial chiarissimo, ho seguito passo passo e con il Plug Pro funziona perfettamente. Esiste una configurazione simile che permetta di usare la funzione Toggle anche per più di due effetti (per es. un efx, un compr, una mod, un delay)? Grazie
Ciao, mi fa piacere che ti sia piaciuto. Ad oggi non mi risulta che si possa fare ma possiamo parlarne con Tuntori. È piuttosto ricettivo ai suggerimenti.
@@TutoJam Fantastico! Davvero un ottimo lavoro
Dimenticavo. Puoi già ottenere quello che chiedevi salvando l'impostazione come un preset diverso nella scheda "presets" e se usi la versione 0.9.10 o seguenti di Mightier Amp puoi usare il pedale per cambiare anche preset, non solo i 7 canali. Vedi il tutorial Guitar 14, ci sono un sacco di chicche nuove
@@TutoJam Grande! Grazie!
Hello,… is it possible to use two devices (M-Vave Chocolate) at the same time with the nux? Then you would have more buttons. Greetings
Hi my friend. I have two of them and tried but no success. When turned on together they tend to connect to each other and the app in any case seems not able to distinguish them
😢ok. Thanks. Best greetings
Hi, im having problems with the mvave, its desconnect from the app in seconds and no reconect, dont know whats happening and how to fix it, sorry for my english
Hi, some people are reporting M-Vave disconnecting at regular intervals from Bluetooth if upgraded to last firmware. If that is the case there is no solution for now. Also consider Bluetooth signal of the chocolate is not very strong, it seems to work well only within 1-2 meters from phone
@@TutoJam i think i fix the problem, also find the way of use the exp pedal in the new firmware, and can fix the problem of max and min invert in the exp. Also find that the custom config in mvave is better, You can do cool things. I use the A button to on off the efx, B button to on off the mod, C button to on off the delay and D button to switch between channels. Sorry for My English
Hi, great job, as I could not replicate your matter I could not help you much. Would you mind sharing your findings in the group so other friends can take advantage? Custom config allows a lot of cool things but I wanted to keep it simple. There was in my list a more advanced video but will take some time.
Thank you. There's another compatible pedal that you know?
Hi, I would expect Airstep pedals to work as well as they are highly configurable and can send standard midi commands. I did not tested them yet though
This Nux have looper?
Too bad no. Only mighty space has it
Do you happen to know if you can use two m-vave chocolate at a time with the nux ?
It should be possible. I ordered a second chocolate as I was planning to provide an episode about this in a couple of weeks. 👍
@Tutorial Jam nice. Looking forward to seeing it work hopefully. Where do you get yours from if you don't mind me asking
One on eBay, the other from AliExpress. Cannot guarantee these to be the best options
Great help video, thanks.
Do you know if there is any way to be able to do this with saved presets. The ones on the second tab. since I have memorized presets, clean, crunch... without removing the ones that come from the factory
If you mean scrolling through presets instead of through channels, the short answer is no. I can imagine it should be technically possible but it would require the implementation of such a feature within Mightier Amp. We could add it as a feature request in Tuntori's GitHub page and discuss it with him, he only knows how difficult it could be.
Hi great video but I think to be having an issue, I have the mighty 40BT amp and my app only shows 4 buttons, the 4th one says Bluetooth and settings at the same time, when I follow your steps and need to connect to the chocolate in the mighty app, it just cannot find the footctrl so i get stuck there, the phone can find it but not the app, and i tried both ways, having the Footctrl paird in the main Bluetooth screen and also unpaired as you recommend in your video, either way the mighty amp app cannot find the chocolate (Footctrl) device. Please if you can help?
Please try to unpair it from the phone but also try turning it on and off a couple of times while in the app. If still not working we can ask Tuntori for help
@@TutoJam Hi thank you for your reply, I tried all that already, and the mighty app just cannot find it, if anybody can help, that will be awesome!!
Just to make sure, are you using mighty amp or mightier amp app?
@@TutoJam Hi! Mighty amp bt40
Mighty amp, the official Nux app is not working for that. Please install MUGHTIER AMP by TUNTORI from Google play store or Apple store. My video is based on it
Have you tested this to the NUX Mighty 20/40 BT?
Hi, not personally but it has been tested by another friend on the 40bt and it works well
@@TutoJam I'm planning to buy the NUX mighty 20/40BT & I have a Cuvave chocolate. . thanx alot.
Hello, it seems that it does not work on iOS (I have Iphone 11 Pro Max), CubeSuite does not detect the Mighty in the main menu... some help?
Hi my friend. Sorry but I believe there is something not clear. Cubesuite has to detect the chocolate, not the mighty.
Thanks for answer, the CubeSuite detect the chocolate normally all good, but not detect the Mighty like in your video min 5:35 , in Accesory Equipment List @@TutoJam
@ov-studios not a problem, mentioned for completeness but you do not need cubesuite to detect mighty, at all
Unfortunately on iOS the new version of the Mighty Air App does not detect the Foot Controller in Foud Devices (only show Nux Mighty Air Midi). before disconnecting the foot controller, flashing. :( @@TutoJam
Ciao. Quindi funziona anche con il mighty plug pro?
Ciao, il giochino è reso possibile dall'applicazione Mightier Amp e quindi sututti i dispositivi compatibili (incluso il pro), le funzionalità non sono identiche ma molto simili. Ci sono state delle difficoltà dovute ad esempio al fatto che iblocchi effetto nel pro possono essere scambiati di ordine ma Tuntori aveva già corretto qualche tempo fa.
@@TutoJam cos'è tuntori? Quindi funziona con il plug pro. Grazie
Tuntori è lo sviluppatore dell'app, è scritto in tutte le descrizioni e lo dico in tutti i video in cui la uso ...
