Logic Pro X - Automate Wah and Wham Pedal Position in Pedalboard 

One of the best videos I've seen on how to do something on logic that's not 20 minutes long. Thank you so much from Mexico!

Thanks for the tutorial Josh. Just what I was looking for. Clear, concise and very informative.

Thank you, very helpful. However if you have neither a keyboard or expression pedal, you can auto capture the wah effect through the automation tack. Tapping 'A' on the keyboard to bring up the automation track, the default is 'Read' and 'volume', If you switch over volume to the wah pedal position in the drop down menu (under Pedal Board), then switch 'Read' to 'Touch' when you play back and either move the Macro A Value slider left to right as you show, or mouse over the pedal and move up and down to change pedal position, whatever position state you have the pedal in it will capture it via the touch automation.

..and this video is STILL helping someone like me late 2021.. SO grateful!!

Ok so I left my wah church I was in a fix and needed wah didnt want to go to the sore to buy battery so I followed your path you are super it worked like a charm thanks again!!!!!!

Brilliant - a most timely tutorial. Thanks Josh.

Thanks so much for this amazing, amazing series of Logic Pro X tutorials. The package is enormous and your information is so helpful! It has saved us hours of hard slog. Cheers Mate from Glenn & Dave.

Many thanks for showing how to setup using a physical controller knob / pedal, instead of drawing it in with automation. Very Useful

Please dont stop teaching !!! ive learnt so much from u.....knowledge is power

Thank you for this brilliant informative tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks Josh. Very handy and cool tutorial for all of us guitarist's using logic x.

Wow thank you so much for this tutorial Josh. I have never used a wah wah pedal before but I love the funky sound and certainly had no idea how to recreate it in Logic. I've just recently bought an electric guitar, I usually play acoustic, so I thought it would be a cool thing to have on some tracks. I don't even have a modulation wheel so I'm using the trackpad on a macBook but this still works. Well explained and easy to do myself. Thank you Sam

Thank you ! Extremely straight forward and helpful !

Thanks for the tutorial ! You are a lifesaver

Very cool to know that we have this capability in Logic Josh. Thank you! and Happy New Year.

Worked perfect....thank you very much ❤

Just amazing. Thank you so much!

Wow. I'm continually impressed by how baffling illogical Logic is. The rest of the known universe has got midi-learn down to an intuitive two step process. In Logic, midi learn is only possible with secret knowledge of hidden pages, archaic assignment menus, and the aid of this video. Thanks for the cracking the code. Unbelievable.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

You make the best tutorial videos.

Very useful Josh, love your tutorials.

This was very helpful Josh! Thank you.

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)

Hi Josh, Happy New Jear from Germany. Your Tutorials are very great stuff in my opinion. A BIG THANK YOU for sharing. I learnd so much. All the best to you Greetz Andy. I've I made some mistakes, he man I'm German :-)

You are AWESOME! Thanks for posting this!

Timely indeed! Santa left behind a Behringer expression pedal last week. Dumb question: Is there a volume pedal in Pedalboard? Long time listener, first time caller btw. Thanks for everything you do for us, Josh. You have no idea how much you do for us.

This is a very cool tip! Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for these awesome videos.

Thanks! Very Helpful!

keep needing up on your videos thanks for the help

Thank you so much, dude. Helped A LOT

THANKS DUDE!

Thank you!

How to make automated pedal state (distortion) change (on/off) when playing live? For example, I use the drums within the project to perform live. And I need to have the program to change my guitar sound when I reach certain tact, minute or part of the song. I only see tutorials how to automated the already recorded track. But no automation for a live performance.

Dude...you're the best! Thank you very much.

These audio production schools must HATE you, Josh?! I DON'T! for all that's worth ;) Greetings from Perth, Western Australia...

Fantastic as always, thanks. Just wondering what the best way would be to do this live, while tracking.

Nice video y nuevo en tu canal

Bruv, THANK YOU!

Thanks man!!

Much thanks for the benefit of that info

Thanks for teaching.

The fact I’ve wanted to do this for years, but never googled it is truly baffling. I can literally just Wah my life away with moving a foot. Time to wah the f*ck out of my strings and vocals.

Do i need to DI my strat before going through the converter (Focusrite 2i2)?

Very helpful. Thank you.

UAUUU THANK´S My Brother

Thanks, really appreciated, to me , assigning the wheel was the easiest

First of all, thank you for making this idiot proof... because (to say it nicely) I am not tech savvy at all. One question though, how do I get rid/delete of the automation if I don't like it and do it over again?

thank you from japan

is there a way to automate it so that the pedal in 0 position means the wah is off?...having the wah on even ay 0 pedal affects the sound?

how do u connect the expression pedal? my midi keyboard only has a sustain input

Fuckin genius video! Gift from heaven

Thanks man..very useful.

Hi Josh, I followed the steps carefully multiple times but it didn't work for me, I was assigning to my M-Audio Expression Pedal (my MIDI controller is same as you - Novation Impulse). I tried to assign to another knob(encoder)/fader and it worked perfectly; So I thought the Expression pedal was broken, so I bought a brand new one (the exact same model), but it didn't work neither, for some reasons, the maximum value on the Macro Value on the virtual pedal board only shows 0.027, despite the min/max value on the Controller Assignments window shows 0->127. Please help! I'm trying this for months

It’s not working for me I clicked the fader and used the knob I wanted to Sue and it’s not working it said learned and everything I did it just like you did in the video

Is there a way to use a non midi expression pedal? Also Is there a more updated way since in the pedals there is no down arrow option

Great video! What about the other pedals? Trying to add a stomp to the MIDDLE of a guitar recording. Any tips? Please help!!!

Thanks!

Thank you

Seaboard block please... for the expression automation

hi , looking im puzzled , about the SYNC button on the pedals ,,,on the delay when I set BPM AT 120 and use a delay calculator 1 quarter = 500MS and set that to the time . when I hit SYNC on the pedalboard it moves a lot to the right ,I don't get that can be ?? can you help thanks

THANK YOU!!!

Hello guys, when I assign my keyboard knob it always changes the automation parameter to volume once i move it. I am trying to write some automation for an external whammy pedal but it won't let me do that. Any tips? Thanks a lot

Awesome

and how do you record it?

all this music creation still sucks. you have to watch like 100 hours to even get Logic Pro. You can't just create a great song without all that knowledge

Thank you!
