pedal. You can also switch the noise gate on and off with
an external footswitch or change the amount of gain while
playing without having to take your hands off your guitar.
The most useful functions are the remote control of the
Boost (without changing presets) using a foot switch as
well as controlling Volume with an expression pedal. As
you can see in the chart, assigning controller number 07
to one of the Control inputs and connecting an expression
pedal to it will let you remote control the volume. The
switching function of the Boost can be remote controlled
assigning controller number 64 to the other Control input
and connecting a footswitch to it.
Heads Up: Generally all functions can be controlled
with both an expression pedal and a foot switch. The
control type of each function determines which one of the
two makes more sense to use. Continuous functions or
functions with a control range of more than two sectors
are predestined for the use of an expression pedal. For
mere switching functions (two sectors: on/off) it makes
more sense to use a foot switch. If you assign a controller
number with more than two sectors to a foot switch, then
you can only switch between the first and the last sector.
If you use an expression pedal, the control range of the
pedal will be divided in equal parts by the number of
sectors of the assigned function.
For example, if you assign controller number 31 (channel
switching, 4 sectors) to a foot switch, you can only switch
between the first sector (Clean channel) and the last sector
(Ultra channel). Using a expression pedal, you can switch
all four channels: each channel occupies a quarter of the
pedal's control range.

List of controller numbers and relating function of the
GrandMeister 36:
1 Modulation Intensity
4 Delay Time, 10 ms-steps (double steps), 5 ms to 1360 ms

until the amp channel is changed, the volume parameter is
changed or the amp is re-started.

25 Presence
26 Modulation speed (always for the active modulation effect,
64 steps)
27 Delay feedback
28 Delay volume
29 Reverb volume
30 Power soak switching (5 sectors)
31 Channel switching (4 sectors)
52 Mod-FX On/Off
53 Delay On/Off
54 Reverb On/Off
55 FX-Loop On/Off
56 Gain (hard)
57 Volume (hard)
63 Noise gate On/Off
64 Boost On/Off
Heads Up: The note "soft" for controller number 07
(Volume) and 20 (Gain) refers to the softening of the
change in value once you move the expression pedal.
This helps to avoid abrupt volume changes in case of
a remarkably large difference between the value of
the controlled parameter stored in the preset and the
expression pedal's starting position. If you chose to use
such abrupt volume changes e.g. as a stylistic device, you
can do so by assigning controller numbers 56 (Gain) and
75 (Volume) instead.
