Boss IR-2 with footswitch
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2024 8:01 pm
So I’m loving the IR-2 but have one issue I can’t figure out and was hoping someone on here could help.
I’m running the IR-2 into an amp, and was playing some Nirvana, and I can’t figure out how to switch from clean to distortion without holding down the pedal to bypass, which takes a few seconds. I’m running the IR-2 into the clean channel of the amp so bypassing the pedal gives me the clean tone but I can’t figure out a fast way to go from using a distorted tone on the IR-2 to bypassing it for a clean tone quickly. I guess examples would be songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit or In Bloom in terms of the clean/distorted dynamic.
I have a separate footswitch I plugged into the CH SEL input on the IR-2 but when I use the footswitch it just changes between red and green channels, and when I push the IR-2 pedal it doesn’t simply go from on, to bypass, to on with each click. The footswitch is a Blackstar one that came with the amp, so not a Boss FS5L or similar.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
