        I just ordered a Knifedrop and I’m wondering where I can find instructions on how to use an external aux switch to control it.

        I’ve downloaded the PDF manual but I don’t see anything instructions there.

         

        Also, I’m wondering if Eventide Aux Switches (Eventide OXU Three Universal Aux Switch System for Effects Pedals for sample) are the only AUX switches that will work with this pedal, or if any third-party AUX pedal will be compatible.

         

        Lastly, what type of cables will I need to connect an AUX pedal to the Knifedrop, TRS or standard 1/4?

         

        Thank you!

          Hello,

          A triple aux switch will give you the options to increment / decrement / load presets on the Knife Drop.

          You may also use a 2-button aux switch for increment / decrement, and then use the pedal’s active/bypass footswitch to load your preset.

          Either option will require a TRS cable. Any aux switch should work, but you will get different behavior depending on how the aux switch is wired up. There is an OXU setting for the Knife Drop that allow you to get the correct increment / decrement / load behavior.

          The info below describes which function is tied to which connection when using a TRS cable by using the different triple aux switch settings in H90 Control:

          • Triple Aux: Tip = Increment Preset, Ring = Decrement Preset, Tip+Ring = Load Preset
          • OXU: Tip = Decrement Preset, Ring = Increment Preset, Tip+Ring = Load Preset

          Let me know if you have any other questions.
