BOSS MS3: Trick to control both effect blocks (FX1 & FX2) with one Expression Pedal

[@makingmusiconline2309]

That's really clever! The volume pedal still is "on" but only between 100% and 100% when the Pedal Bend is active, and returns to 0-100% when Pedal Bend is off. Brilliant, thank you!

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Yeah that's the idea! It was the best workaround that I could find. Thanks!!

[@elbruce3]

Very helpful and clever, Miguel! Thanks for sharing. I've not used the app much, but looks much easier to make these configuration and value changes.

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Thank you Bruce!! Yes it's very easy in the app, I have no idea ho to deal with that in the MS-3🙃

[@AltieresOliveira86]

Hi friend, I think you can help me: Is it possible control 2 devices with the control out? why there is 2 options (ctl 1 and 2) if there is only 1 jack? I have a jb2 and sd2 and both have remote control jacks

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hi! There are two options because you have to use an stereo jack. With it you can control two external switches, but you have to use a Y cable: 1 stereo jack to 2 mono jacks

Hola Miguel, excelente video, quería ver si me puedes ayudar, tengo un MS-3 y compre el Boss FV-500L, el cual es de expresión y volumen, podrías ayudarme a encontrar la forma mas práctica de usarlo con el MS-3, mi idea es conectar mi Tuner y que quede activo, pero al usarlo como wha y FV, solo prevalece el FV, por lo que me obliga a solo usarlo como EXP. de antemano gracias.

[@tricko2286]

MS-3 is awesome 👏

[@AltieresOliveira86]

Hi boss! Is it a stereo cable between ms3 and the expression pedal?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hi! Yes, it is stereo or it won't work

[@alienlovesecrets9379]

Tue MS3 cuts off Delay and Reverb trails when you change presets. There is the curnum function that allows to have only two snapshots/scenes within one preset without cutting trails. But when you change the preset then trails are cut off again. Is there a way to create more than two snapshots (for ex example in manual mode)? Or is manual mode not able to simultaneously turn on and off multiple FX by the mere push of ONE button?

[@yoelperry36]

Great, Did you mods the valeton ep2 switch..?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Thanks man! 👍 No mods, it's a factory ep2

[@yoelperry36]

@@MiguelAngelGuitar thanks 👍🙏😊

[@danyc.7474]

Hola... sabes, tengo el mismo ms3 y no logro dejar los pedales (en el switcher manual) editados en cada banco... por ejemplo (siempre en el modo manual) quiero dejar un overdrive con un delay en el 1.... una distorsión con delay en el 2 y en el 3 solo el overdrive.... pero no logro guardarlos!!!! Puedes enseñarme porfa!!! Gracias!!

[@giba252]

Great video !! Can you share the settings for program 01-1?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

In the PC editor or in the MS3? Any setting in partiular?

[@giba252]

Miguel Angel Torres the complete setting for each effect , could be on the editor. I’d like to copy the reverb settings and others

[@aclavijo75]

Como conectas físicamente ese pedal de expresión con el Boss MS-3? Que modelo de pedal de expresión es?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Se conecta el output del pedal a una de las dos entradas que tiene el ms3 para pedales de expresión, mediante un cable stereo. El modelo es el valeton surge EP-2.

[@eduardo33870]

Hola me serviria el ms3 con el. Pedal de exp boss fv50?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hola! Por lo que sé, ese pedal es de volumen, necesitas un pedal de expresión, en esa misma gama está el boss EV-30 que sí es de expresión, un saludo!

[@ononob8807]

cool！so we can use expression pedals from other brands（besides boss and roland） to control the ms3？

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

ONO NOB Yes you can use most of the expression pedals in the market 👍👍

[@ononob8807]

Miguel Angel Torres thanks！

[@MARGARSIL]

Obrigado Miguel

[@renatowitzel1334]

Hi! Can I assign the expression pedal for 2 simultaneous effects? For example, I want to modulate tremolo and increase delay time at the same time, with one expression pedal. Is it possible?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Yes you can, you have 8 different "assing" options for different effects and its parameters, for the expression pedal or for a switch for example

[@cabotti]

Hi! can you switch the channels of the victory with that ms3? how many cables do you need if i only need one external wah and the option of switching channels of the amp? thanks!!!

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hi Joan! Yes you can chan switch the channels of your victory connecting the F/S Channel of the amp to the CTL OUT of your ms-3. For that you'll need a mono cable (or stereo if your amp has more than 2 switching positions, my V30 has only channel 1 or channel 2, so I use a mono cable). For the external wah you just need a cable from the guitar to the wah input, and another cable from the wah output to the ms-3 input. And if you want to use the 4 cable method, you'll need 3 additional cables: 1-MS-3 Send to Amp input 2-Amp Send to MS-3 Return 3-MS-3 Output to Amp Return You can use any Loop in the Ms3 for this, but that loop must be always on in any patch yo create in the MS3, or the signal won't run into the preamp section of the amp.

[@cabotti]

yeah! thanks for your help and your answer. But, yes, i already supposed that i would need too many cables, ´cause i want/need a booster through the fxloop but the wah in front of the amp. i will think about it. thanks so much, again, for your help! regards from Barcelona!

Miguel angel tengo una duda, es posible asignarle cualquier parámetro controlable al Valeton desde el ms3? Por ejemplo, un tap tempo en un preset y un delay time en otro? Saludos!

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hola David!! Sí, es posible, solo tienes que seleccionar en cada preset el parámetro que quieres que controle el pedal de expresión. Un saludo!

Miguel Angel Torres tengo otra duda, al ser el valeton un pedal pasivo, no sientes que te chupa un poco el tono de tu guitarra? Slds.

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

David Nuñez en realidad la señal de la guitarra no pasa por el valeton, está funcionando como pedal de expresión, y lo único que hace es controlar parámetros del ms-3, controla el parámetro volumen de la ms-3, pero la señal en sí no pasa por el pedal

Miguel Angel Torres que groso! Lo compro ya mismo jaja mil gracias otra vez!

Lo compre, pero la verdad no consigo configurarlo como me dice la web de Boss, no puedo controlar el wah por ejemplo...rarisimo, como podria hacerlo? Te re agredeceria genio!

[@zeppo20]

Hi, that is Valeton GP-200?

Nop, boss Ms3, only the expression pedal is a valeton

[@czardexter]

If I use my expression as a volume pedal, can I assign it in the fx chain (pre-drive, or pre-delay)?

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Dexter Umali Yes, you can move the foot volume position in the fx chain, and set a different position in each preset.

[@SergeiVlassov]

what pedalboard are you using? could you write its dimensions please!

[@MiguelAngelGuitar]

Hello Sergei! The dimensions are 37x27cm, and you can find it in amazon amzn.eu/eNCNdmd

thanx!!!

[@SergeiVlassov]

I wanted to know to buy a bit bigger ) Looking at Harley Benton SpaceShip 40. I also want to go with Boss ms-3 and valenton. If you will use angled jack for valenton, it will fit you board better by the way.
