Suddenly I'm having problems with the exp switch.
It won't switch and stay on. It'll light up when pressed down but goes out when not in calibrate mode.

I've recalibrated the exp min and max and tried different threshold settings several times.
I only use it for swell/wha

Also tried on the carpet and on the hardwood floor , with shoes on and without
No difference.
Last time I used the unit ( this is my old one ) it worked as far as I remember.

I had trouble last night with my new unit
I had to go down to threshold 1 but it stayed on
I changed the settings on he unit but I don't know if it's
Registered in Tonestudio , I think not but .......
It's odd that it happened after that though.


Any suggestions what to do?
Factory reset needed ?

I play Country music too, I'm just not sure which country it's from...

Thats the most interesting aspect

Calibrated expression pedal is crucial , and my GR-55 or GP-10 react very differently  based on if they are sitting on  hardwood floor vs carpeted floor.

1 )  back up patches
2 ) perform factory reset

3 ) re-calibrate expression pedal on hardwood floor ( If cant avoid playing on carpeting, then place GP-10 on a solid board which sits on top of carpeted floor during the expression pedal re-calibration procedure.   
4) reload patches

I did overlook something
yesterday when I fiddled around to make the other unit work,
I also messed around in Tonestudio
The Exp switch setting was set to off and I did forget to set it back to Patch Setting
