Hi everyone, I just bought the GA FC EX foot controller and while the red channel light works, as does bank B with the slow flashing red light, I cannot get the effects, green light, to come on. So unsure if it's a fault in the new controller or do I have to set up the amp in a particular way. There is sounds coming out from the pedal, but unsure if it's even engaging the effects. Hope you can help. Cheers.
