  1. I'm trying to use a HX effects to channel switch my DT25. What I'd like is one switch for channel A and 2 switches for channel B (the third with a boost pedal assigned). This means I could have clean, dirty, and Lead switches on the HX. I can't find a way of assigning it just to switch to channel A or B over TRS using external amp control, each switch just toggles between the 2 channels. Is this only possible over midi? If so I need to cancel my loom cable order as that will have a redundant TRS cable in it.

  3. Just in case anyone else was having similar troubles, I found the solution in the Bypass Snapshot:Off setting in the Action menu. I can now have 3 snapshots assigned to midi functions and effects blocks assigned to footswitches independent of the Snapshots.
  4. Hi, so I have a HX effects and a Boss IR200, I imagined I would be easily able to use the HX to switch through amps on the IR200 and add effects as and when I need them. I run my HX in Stomp mode and when I assign the 3 midi program changes to 3 footswitches, it changes channels fine but the switches obviously don't toggle the state of the other switches so the illumination is meaningless as soon as I press another switch. So I thought I could assign the midi program changes to 3 snapshots on the lower row, and then I could have a Delay, chorus and rotary on the footswitches above and toggle the effects on and off. Now I will admit I don't really get Snapshots but it seems that every time I activate one, it then remembers any footswitch presses I make. Is there anyway to just set the Snapshot to do the midi amp changes and be able to activate my effects independently of the snapshots?
  5. I had a full fat Helix but it was more than I needed, I rarely play electric these days, and I just needed the effects for my acoustic looping so the HX effects seemed like the perfect solution and the scribble strips really appealed. I used to use preset mode on the hd500 with bank up/down turned off to switch between 8 presets which gave me the functionality I needed.
  6. Ahh thanks but that just adds more complexity, I want to keep it simple. I might end going back to my HD500 (which could essentially do 8 snapshots) and get rid of the HX effects. Thanks for your reply.
  7. Hi, I'm a solo performer who does a lot of looping. I often need to go from an Octave effect to a delay effect (for example) at the moment I need to turn the Octave off then the delay on. Combined with looping and singing this can causes a lot of tap dancing head aches. I'd like to be able to hit the delay switch and it turn the Octave off or any othere effect that's on. I understand that this can be done easily with snapshots but on the HX effects it seems I can only have 4 snapshots? I'm currently using all 6 switches in stomp mode and using multiples on one switch, so the 4 snapshots aren't enough. Is there anyway I can get that snapshot behaviour in Stomp mode? Thanks.
  8. Hi, I posted about this problem in the Helix forum but it's better placed here. I have run into a problem when running the Helix stereo XLR's into the Monitor inputs on the back of the Firehawk, the sound is extremely compressed/hard limited and the volume is very low. If I run it in mono it sounds great, plenty of volume and great dynamics, as soon as I plug in the 2nd XLR the volume is halved and super compressed. Can anyone suggest what might be causing the problem in stereo? I've run the helix in stereo into a P.A. with no problems, it's just the Firehawk, I've also tried different volume configurations.
  9. I'm not using a blue tooth device, just guitar into Helix and Helix out into the Firehawk. Im pretty underwhelmed by the Firehawk so far, I think I'm gonna send it back and get a CLR or a just a decent monitor.
  10. I've just tried the Helix through headphones and it's fine so deffo something at the Firehawk end, just read a thread in the Firehawk section with someone having the same problem, seems to be fine running in mono but it's like there is too much level in Stereo and it's limiting it really hard.
  11. I'm having exactly this problem, running Helix XLR left and right into FH monitor ins. It sounds like everything is hugely compressed, it's unusable as it is, can anyone suggest how I can configure it to sort this problem, I've got a gig coming up this weekend and really need to get it sorted.
  12. Hi, I've just got a helix and Firehawk to replace my Hd500 dt25 rig. I'm running stereo xlrs out of the helix into the monitor ins on the FH and my signal is coming through with a crazy amount of compression (I'm not using any compressors). If I hit a note on a lead sound it starts off quiet and then volume swells. I've tried toggling pad on the input, input gate and fiddled with impedance and it's still squashing the sound. Has anyone else experienced this?
