Right, because there isn't a switch, per se. It just stops at a certain 
midi CC
value. When you press down past that (using the spring, which will return 
when
you let off), it transmit higher CC values. It still only goes to 127. In 
the wah
config menu of the DG Stomp, you define what CC values for the expression 
pedal
will activate the "switch" function of the wah effect. So the 
implementation of
the switch is within the DG Stomp, not the FC-7.
