I am using the function switch on the LT to select an amp using the Mesa Head Track. I have things working the way I want, but it does not make sense. Plus I am not clear on the programming in presets because I also have an IA button assigned to the Function 1 switch and programming the switching does not work the way I thought it would.
The HT has a remote jack for switching with a latching foot switch. Here is how the HT selects between A and B according to the manual:
Mesa Head-Track
Amp A selected = contact closure open
Amp B selected = contact closure closed
The manual for the LT editor says the following for inverted and non-inverted modes:
LT Invert (Normally Closed)
Function Switch on = relay open
Function Switch off = relay closed
LT Non-Invert (Normally Open)
Function Switch on = relay closed
Function Switch off = relay open
First, I made the decision that when I turn Function Switch 1 on, it should select amp A and when off it selects amp B. With the Function Switch 1 on selecting amp A and off selecting amp B, I thought I should select Invert mode for the function switches on the Global page. However, when I did nothing switched the way I thought it would.
Currently, I have the LT function switches in the non-inverted normally open mode, and everything works the way I want it to but it seems opposite of the description in the manual. For example, if I want a preset to select amp B, I click the override button for Function Switch 1 and set the state to OFF, which does select amp B when the preset is selected. If I want a preset to select amp A, I click the override button for Function Switch 1 and set the state to ON, which selects amp A when the preset is selected. The way this is working seems like I should have Invert selected to put the function switches in Normally Closed mode. What am I missing?
Also, as I said, I have an IA button assigned to the Function 1 switch. It works perfectly as a stand alone switch. However, if I try to program a preset to select amp A, for example, by activating the IA button when programming the preset, it does seems to send the message to switch. I have "Update on Preset Change" and "Send CC on Preset Change" selected. I still need to set the function switch state using the override button to make the preset select the correct amp, and my programming of the IA switch is simply to match the state of the function switch in the preset.
Any insights would be much apprecitated.
