Since we're talking about the EXP-1 pedal it reminded me that to activate the mode switch you have to push it fully down and thus you get full volume (or full whatever you're controlling) first - is this correct or is there something I'm missing?

That's correct. I don't see any way around it either unless they added something to the firmware that if you stomp the pedal quickly to change the mode it stays at the previous setting and if you move the pedal slowly it changes the current parameter.

Huh, maybe there is away?

I wonder if relocating the switch so that you can change modes with a push of the toe would work better?

Something like this:

Interesting idea. I don't see why an external switch couldn't work. The only problem with this setup is that you'd need to have it on pedal board or fastened to something so it wouldn't scoot across the floor when you kick it.

I thought about that too... also the possibility of accidentally bumping it and changing modes unexpectedly is a lot greater as well... in thinking about it now I'm wondering if mounting the switch as far to the lefthand side as possible wouldn't be a better place.

I had a Boss ME-25 a couple of years ago and you changed the mode of the pedal by pressing the heel instead of the toe. Much better...
