Ok, So the SuperSwitch is not a simple resistor ladder, and I’m fairly sure it’s more complex design is to allow for multiple simultaneous button presses…. This was also hinted at by it’s initial marketing in some places → Allowing at least 11 functions (6 single plus any two adjacent buttons together)

So when will we be getting the obvious 5 adjacent button function options in the Accessory menu?:
Button 1 & Button 2 together fucntion
Button 2 & Button 3 together function

Button 4 & Button 5 together function

It’s bulkiness and weight has to start paying dividends please :slight_smile: I had to change my pedalboard layout to accommodate it, and it’s using up the space which could have been used for 12 or more “normal” aux switches for my other pedals.

At the moment, you can use two adjacent switches to perform two actions simultaneously, such as pause and play accent hit.

If you would like to see different functionality or have specific feature requests, feel free to post them, and we can take them into consideration for future updates!

Ok, that’s interesting and really cool, never thought of that! Is it documented ? I may have missed that. But yeah, obviously simultaneous button presses for unique / additional functions would be an obvious next thing. I’ll make a feature request soon. One will have to think about button sensitivity of course (a new setting/option - like on midi controllers) - cause it may affect timing of time critical single presses like Record etc

This information is outlined on page 49 of the BB2 Manual.

”Stepping on both the Pause and Accent hit footswitches at the same time stops
the drums with a crash cymbal sound (if the accent hit is a crash cymbal) – a
nice effect.”
