Determines the particular 
pedal to which a function is 
to be assigned.

Determines the function to be 
assigned to the selected pedal. Any 
one of the available functions can be 
assigned to each pedal.
For information on the assignable 
functions, see “Pedal-controllable 
Functions” on page 140.

If necessary, you can turn 
the corresponding part ON/
OFF or set the control depth 
(see the next page).

Pedal on/off operation may 
differ depending on the 
particular pedal you’ve 
connected to the [AUX 
PEDAL] jack. For example, 
pressing down on one pedal 
may turn the selected 
function on, while pressing 
a different make/brand of 
pedal may turn the function 
off. If necessary, use this 
setting to reverse the 
operation.
