Fractal Talk

I didn’t know there were players carrying on the Jeff Healey technique. Very cool! Is that just the way that came naturally to you, or did you switch to that over the neck style of playing for a particular advantage?

I can't turn my wrists over like normal people due to my dwarfism etc.. So when me and brother picked guitar up in 1992, I knew right away I couldn't play like my brother was or anyone else so I just started playing like this naturally and teaching myself... I didn't even know who jeff healey was for like a decade later or more.
 
So spent sometime last night before bed but I did manage to make a layout that will show 24 effects on the fc-6. Using 4 view options / pages. That's 6 effects per page and works per preset that I can flip through and at the end I got a switch that you hold for a few seconds and that will convert back to the beginning. Using up all of my view 1 and view 2 options / pages etc.. And they did indeed show which effects are on or in bypass mode ready to be used and which effects are not used (with a message on screen indicating that effect is not in that certain preset) in each preset automatically.

The issue is only 24 slots and no more view options / pages left etc.. So I have to pick and choose only 24 effects to display at all times. So while some presets may show something on or bypassed and ready to use on the main hardware / editor screen... The fc-6 won't be able to show it due to me not being able to display that certain effect because of no room for more effects to be displayed among the view options / pages.

However with 24 effects laid out in 4 pages, I can add the main essentials. Just gonna be hard to pick and choose which ones are the ones I want to display the most. All drive, reverb, delay blocks are definite displays and some modulation like chorus/flanger etc..

Having more view options / pages would fix this though, then I could add all of the effects and have them ready with every preset!

This might not be for you, but I was too used to the helix approach of having preset specific switching layouts so I went with almost entirely per preset footswitch usage on my main layouts.

That avoids the problem you are running into and keeps the main things for me in that preset in a prominent spot for footswitching. It’s a little more trouble to program this way, but I prefer it in the end.

For sure. As discussed per preset is the way to go when making your own etc..

However I was just trying to find something to come up with while playing through stock presets and other peoples presets and have a big template ready etc... but for now I give up on it lol.
