MiniSwitch support

Tap Favorite has been discontinued and replaced with MiniSwitch.

They are nearly identical, aside from the name, and how the footswitch operates. MiniSwitch operates on the down press of the footswitch, Tap Favorite operates on the release of the footswitch. This change was made to ensure the smoothest operation as an external Boost switch with our new Riverside drive pedal.

Learn more about MiniSwitch.

MiniSwitch can be used as a tap tempo switch with BigSky, DIG, Deco, Flint, Mobius, and TimeLine.  To set up your MiniSwitch for Tap Tempo mode, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the four screws on the bottom of the chassis.
2. Once opened, locate the small jumper underneath the circuit board and switch it from the center and right pins to the center and left pins. Please see the image below.

Once you have the MiniSwitch configured to Tap Tempo Mode you still need to make sure your Strymon pedal is set up to recognize an external tap tempo pedal.

Flint/DIG

Power up while making sure that both conditions below apply:

1. Both toggle switches are in the DOWN position
2. You are pressing both footswitches simultaneously.
3. Release the footswitches after 5 seconds to use the pedal.

Deco

1. Power up holding BOTH footswitches.
2. While holding down both footswitches, turn the SATURATION knob to the 12 o’clock noon position to use MiniSwitch as a Tap Tempo switch to control the LAG TIME of the Doubletracker.
3. Release the footswitches to use the pedal.

TimeLine/BigSky/Mobius

1. Press and hold the Value knob for 2 seconds to access the Globals menu.
2. Scroll through the menu options until you see EXP MD (this stands for “Expression Mode”).
3. Once there, press down on the VALUE knob.
4. Turn the VALUE knob to set the mode for TAP.
5. Press the TYPE knob to exit the Global menu.

MiniSwitch can be used as a Favorite preset select switch with Brigadier, Deco, DIG, El Capistan, Flint, Lex, and Riverside.

MiniSwitch can also be used to engage the Boost feature on Riverside.

By default, MiniSwitch ships from the factory in Favorite/Boost mode. You do not need to adjust the internal jumper on MiniSwitch unless you have already switched to Tap Tempo mode.

To switch back to Favorite mode:

1. Unscrew the four screws on the bottom of the chassis.
2. Once opened, locate the small jumper underneath the circuit board and switch it from the center and left pins to the center and right pins. Please see the image below.

Once you have your MiniSwitch configured to Favorite/Boost mode, you still need to make sure your Strymon pedal is configured to recognize the switch.
