Possible to use a foot switch for echo on 62?

DjNonStopp 8:11 AM - 16 February, 2015
I saw someone with a footswitch hooked to the old pioneer efx processor with a 62 to trigger the echo for his scratches. I'm assuming using the send/return..but I have been trying to find information on how to rig this up or if theres a way to do it without the efx next to it. Not familiar with how send/return works and am confused as to why it's been so hard for me to figure this out. Can anybody help?

Also could this be done with the newer model pioneer efx processors?

Hey NonStopp,

You wouldn't be able to trigger the echo in the 62 with a footswitch.
I'm guessing the footswitch that person was using was triggering an echo within the EFX.

NonStopp, do you mean this?

I hope the 57Mk2 will work this way, but I kinda doubt it.

Maybe there will be a way with a midi foot switch to send the signal post-fader, but...

I'm hoping I won't have to do this mod on the 57mk2, but.........

IMO - if the foot switch did nothing but open the FlexFX it would be perfect. But it doesn't :(

Wonder if the USB footswitch can toggle the flex efx on/off? Probably not. lol
