    Hi,

    I can’t seem to get my 8 Step to activate the expression functions of my GP10. The GP10 has an expression in jack as well as the onboard one.

    The 8 step works with a Boss PS3. A Roland EV5 works with the GP10. Plug the 8 step in to replace the EV5 but no action.

    Can EHX staff please confirm or deny if the 8 step is compatible with the GP10?

    Thanks

    Very odd…
    It works instantly with the VG-99 but I can not get it to work with the GP-10.
    The VG-99 has a separate exp jack
    It has to be a setting thing.
    I will try and figure it out.

    OK it works!
    The Boss jack is weird. You have to have the plug only 1/2 way in. Or the first click in.
    How weird is that!

    OK. So I hooked up the 8 step to the GP10 with the cable only partially in. It worked but the 8 step generated a trem effect whereas an EV5 creates a wah effect. Very weird.

    Same patch. Patch 88. Set for wah on Exp2 input.

    Maybe Boss has got some explaining to do.
