I noticed this feature in the Tiny Box video which allows you to trigger a foot switch with the expression pedal. I'm wondering if there is a way to do this without the Tiny Box. I would like to be able to turn on a wah effect by pushing the expression pedal all the way down like on a real wah. I am using MIDI CC to trigger effects in Ableton Live. I'm thinking maybe an Ableton Live cue could toggle the effect on and off when it sees a specific CC value of 127 while also controlling the wah "pedal" on the same CC#. Any way to do this?
I just received the new chip and the toe switch works as advertised. I use the FCB to control an Axe-Fx and the Wah block is controlled several ways first you assign an expression pedal and then some type of switching to turn the block on/off. Fractal has what they call auto-engage but it is iffy to me and I think it loses the 0-127 range along with lack of predictability in when it engages or disengages , but the FCB stock or other chips can not do this unless you have the UnO2 chip or the TinyBox. Main difference is TinyBox has more memory and it has wifi to be able to use a tablet as a video monitor
Thanks all, for the info. I’ve got an original Uno chip. I’m not sure I want to spend the money for Uno2 just for that one feature. By any chance does Uno 2 allow stomp box mode on a per pedal basis rather than the entire row?
I’ll keep looking into doing it with Live.

This functionality is available in the UnO2 chip

Indeed, if the software allows to do it that's the way to go - maybe other Ableton users can chime in with suggestions. UnO2 firmware does indeed allow stomp box mode on each individual footswitch or in each individual bank, as opposed to the 5 global stomps in UnO firmware.
