Forgive me if this has been asked/answered elsewhere before. if so, please point me to that thread! (searching didn't uncover a specific answer for me)
I want to use the Freeze function, but trigger it from one footswitch. If I reassign the tap tempo to Freeze (or a standalone switch in pedal 3 or 4 inputs) it freezes any and all active delay & reverb module tails - leaving just the unaffected input to improvise with (not to mention that the light ceases working so you don't have a visual cue that it's engaged). If I set up a dedicated reverb like the Ionosphere just for Freeze, I have to assign a stomp switch to that reverb & then another to trigger it's Freeze function - which requires a quick tap dance to engage/disengage the Freeze.
What I'd like to do is assign a single footswitch (preferably the tap tempo, or another aftermarket switch in pedal 3 or 4 on the remote, but could live with it taking up a stomp slot) that triggers the dedicated Freeze reverb & instantly freezes the tails leaving the other active delays/reverbs working as normal.
Is this possible? Is there a setup I'm not thinking of?
One button Freeze solution (and keep other delays\reverbs active)?

From the Manual:
Action & Freeze
Besides toggling the status of effect modules, each of the Effect Buttons can also be used to trigger so-called
"Action & Freeze” functions like Rotary Speaker (slow/fast), Delay Feedback Infinity, or the Freeze function of most delay and reverb effects. To assign, simply navigate to the respective function within the effect e.g. “Rotary Speed Slow/Fast” within the Rotary Speaker effect. Now press the respective soft button above the display of the PROFILER together with and one of the Remote’s Effect Buttons. Done! Don’t forget to store the Rig to make your
assignment permanent.

to activate a reverb effect and freeze it with one switch you only need to assign the on/off state of the module with the reverb to one of the FX switches and checkmark the freeze option in the reverb.

thx for the copy/paste from the manual which i had read several times before. however, none of that answers the specific question - how to assign a reverb & freeze to a single switch without it affecting _all_ other active reverbs & delays.
Wasn’t trying to be snarky. It’s a very specific question. With the manual as comprehensive as it is, unless someone indicates they’ve looked there, it’s impossible to know.

I am able to have the reverb on, freeze the reverb (and only the reverb) with a stomp switch configured like this:
Clear the stomp switch on Rig-> page 6.
Assign the freeze function to the stomp switch first.
Assign reverb on/off second.
In normal operation, the LEDs look like this:
Configured in this manner, the reverb is on. Stepping and holding will freeze until release (momentary).
A single press and release will freeze the reverb until a second press. The second press returns the reverb to normal.
Works well.
You can’t do this with the tap button. It has no secondary functionality atm. I believe that’s been discussed, but not implemented.
HTH.

have you successfully done this? on my end, this doesn't work. for example...
- Settings>Remote Settings (screen 12)>Button Assignment > set the Tap Button to REV On\Off (which is Ionosphere in the reverb module)
- in Ionsophere settings, enable the Freeze function
- save the Performance
now, when i hit the Tap switch the Reverb module is toggled on but no reverb, no frozen tails. i've tried setting this on the stomp slots as well & same thing.when you can toggle the reverb on/off but you hear no reverb you should check your output source settings. Make sure that Master Stereo is selected.

Generally, the Effect Buttons I-IIII can be assigned by Rig. These allow to trigger Action and Freeze functions (Freeze, Infinity, Rotary Speaker Speed) module specific. So this means, Effect Button IIII could be assigned to Freeze in the REV module specifically and not affect a possible Freeze in another module. You assign it by holding the soft button Freeze in the effect menu and one of the Effect Buttons simultaneously.
The functional assignment of the TAP button or external buttons is global and not by Rig. And if you assign Freeze it is also global. So all Freezes across the Rig will respond.
This in the manual:
¨ Freeze
"Freeze” is an Action & Freeze function, which turns the reverb into an endless pad by instantly increasing the room size to infinity. The input of the reverb is cut, so no further signal is added to the reverb, allowing you to play along to the pad.
The “Freeze” function can be assigned to one of the Effects Buttons of the PROFILER Remote or Stage. Step and hold the desired Effects Button (I to IIII) while you press the "Freeze” soft button.
If you leave Freeze on all the time you never fill that loop, since the input of the reverb is constantly cut.
