Use Pedalboard import mode

Pedalboard has a feature you can use to import parameter settings for each type of pedal. In contrast to the plug-in window Settings pop-up menu, which you use to load a setting for the entire Pedalboard plug-in, this feature can be used to load a setting for a specific stompbox type.

Turn import mode on or off

Import pedal settings into the Pedal Browser

  1. Click the Import Mode button to activate import mode.

    Note that the View menu changes to the Select Setting button.

    Note: If this is your first attempt to import settings, a dialog opens where you can select a setting to import.

  2. Click the Select Setting button and select a setting, then click Open.

    Depending on the setting you chose, one or more stompboxes appear in the Pedal Browser. The name of the imported setting is shown at the bottom of the Pedal Browser.

Add an imported pedal to the Pedal area

Do one of the following:

Replace a pedal setting in the Pedal area with an imported pedal setting

  1. Click the pedal you want to replace in the Pedal area.

    It is highlighted with a blue outline.

  2. Click the stompbox in the Pedal Browser to replace the selected pedal (or pedal setting) in the Pedal area.

    The blue outlines of the selected pedal in the Pedal area and Pedal Browser blink on and off to indicate an imported setting. The setting name area at the bottom of the Pedal Browser displays “Click selected item again to revert.”

    Note: If you want to make your replacement permanent, click the background in the Pedal Browser, or click the Import Mode button.

  3. To restore the previous setting, click the highlighted stompbox in the Pedal Browser. The Import Mode button and the outline of the selected pedal (in the Pedal area) become solidly highlighted, indicating that the original setting has been restored.
