My band is covering Thrice’s ‘Image of The Invisible’ and I thought it would be fun to make the Morse code sequence at the beginning of the song, with my guitar... not a big fan of using samples (nor do I have the equipment to do that). Anyone got any ideas on how I could create the Morse code sequence using the effects available in Helix?

I have the HX FX. I want to swap the order the presets appear so that 001 preset is at the "top" and I select Bank DOWN to go up in numbers. Currently it is like this: 126 - 127 124 - 125 .... 003 - 004 001 - 002 I want it to be like this: 001 - 002 003 - 004 .... 124 - 125 126 - 127 What settings does this? HX Edit is in a descending order, so I really hope the HX FX can do it too.

I don't understand

Thanks for the great reply, really appreciate it! There's been a few users here who have tried the PMS-2 for amp switching cos the HX FX can't switch a lot of amps, thus the post. The English manual doesn't even mention anything about send a PC signal from the message sending unit to the PMS-2 whilst saving the switchers, so that really got my hopes up! Gave it a try and nothing seemed to work. I can only switch both channels on or off using Bank 1 and 0 from the HX FX. Pressing stomp buttons on the HX FX with bank 3, 4, 5 (any other number) whilst saving in the Assign setting doesn't seem to do anything different. What also doesn't make sense is that no matter what bank number I choose on the HX FX, it will fire the PMS-2's save state. So bank 1-127 seems to be irrelevant (bank 0 will "unset" the save state). I think this NUX stuff is junk.

I bought a PMS-2 on special and I've been struggling to get it working with my HX FX I've got the midi channel saved (Channel 1), I've got the Assign settings saved (set to Latched closed) and the Switches saved (to Latched open). The buttons will change the the two channels of my amp (ENGL Ritchie Blackmore E650), but the midi from my HX FX (Bank/PC, Ch:1, Prog:1) will only fire both channels to closed (and open again if I use Bank/PC, Ch:1, Prog:0).... My amp has 2 channels but allows for 4 combinations (Lo-Clean, Hi-Clean, Lo-Gain, Hi-Gain). How do I get the PMS-2 to independently send messages to change between these 4 combinations? I'm starting to think this midi switcher is garbage. I'm so fricken confused.

Hey mate did the Morley hum box work?
-
So it didn't work. But I bought a NUX PMS-2 to try and do Midi switching thru midi controls. Unfortunately the PMS-2 is a defective piece of junkyard trash and doesn't work as advertised. Anyone selling this thing is trying to scan you out of money I think.

I just updated to 2.80 and have been searching the forums for a new answer to this amp channel problem (ENGL E650, can't access my clean channel hey how ya doin). I've got practice tomorrow night so I'm going to try out this Instant > Amp > "None" setting and see how it goes. So far I've been keeping Footswitch 1 to "Amp 1 > Ring" on every single one of my patches. That's just let me use the (Crunch) Lo-Gain and Hi-Gain channels and no access to the 2 Clean channels. I've been using guitar volume to get a passable clean sound (luckily I don't need a real Clean tone much recently). Instant is a Present function though, so if I set a preset Instant to "None", can I even change amp channels on that preset anymore? I'll report back in 2 days (let's see if he does) NB: And why is the "None" option in INSTANT??? Why couldn't it be in the fkn Footswitch controls?? (man I'm so over this!)

Snapshot "Latch" Mode not working as intended?
simmerswitch_ replied to simmerswitch_'s topic in Helix
I was really hoping 2.80 would solve this issues. Unfortunately Snapshot Latch still acts like Moment?!! :( -
Snapshot "Latch" Mode not working as intended?
simmerswitch_ replied to simmerswitch_'s topic in Helix
Do you reckon they'll add this in an update? I'm pedal dancing more than I should be because of this issue. -
I think the HX Effects 'Snapshot Mode' "Latch" option in Global Settings is not working correctly. EG: When 'Preset Mode' is set to "Latch", changing Presets keeps you in 'Preset Mode' -GOOD when 'Preset Mode' is set to "Moment", changing Presets pushes you into 'Stomp Mode' -GOOD! when 'Snapshot Mode' is set to "Latch" and 'Preset Mode' is set to "Latch", changing Snapshots keeps you in 'Snapshot Mode' -GREAT! BUT when 'Snapshot Mode' is set to "Latch" and 'Preset Mode' is set to "Moment", changing Snapshots pushes you into 'Stomp Mode' -ERGH! WRONG. BAD MULTI-EFFECTS BAD! :P This is wrong. 'Snapshot' Mode' set to "Latch", should remain in Snapshot Mode, regardless of what 'Preset Mode' is set to. I want the HX Effects to dive into Stomp Mode after I select a Preset, so I set Preset Mode to Moment. But I want Snapshot Mode to remain visible when I'm using them, which I can't do.

Helix "Ext amp" not able to switch Marshall Vintage Modern

Welcome to the club (ENGL Ritchie Blackmore, same issue). It sucks :( -
Increased Output level when placing fx on "Path B"
simmerswitch_ replied to simmerswitch_'s topic in Helix
I can't do that right now. Also, my setup has an Amp 4CM in FX1 and an external OD in FX2, so might be hard to replicate without my same setup. -
I've also wondered this for ages! I think it should be a feature addition in an update!

I'm experiencing an issue where, whenever I place effects on a B path, my overall output volume becomes louder than other Presets, when those fx on the B path, are switched off. EG: 'Preset A' has all effects on a single 'Path'. This preset produces intended Output Level 'Preset B' has some effects on a 'B Path', that 'B Path' merges before the end of the Signal Chain. This preset produces an Output Level louder than 'Preset A' when effects on Path B are OFF Both presets have the same parameters for the 'Split' and 'Merge' blocks (that being Center/0dB) How do I easily ensure uniform levels across presets, when some are using a B Path? I don't understand why I have to fiddle around with A and B levels in the Merge parameter. It should Merge at the same level as a preset without a split/merge.

Amp switching doesn't work on Mesa Boogie Triple Rec and ENGL Powerball
simmerswitch_ replied to royshredder's topic in Helix
I also have an ENGL amp, a Ritchie Blackmore Signature head. Using the HX Effects EXT Pedal jack set to 'Amp' I can't access my clean channel. The amp requires a TRS jack to change channels, but I've read on here that a TRS jack in the HX jack sends 3V down the cable and it's screwing up amps. Would love Line 6 to chime in and help us. -
I've fallen in love with the 'Alpha Haunt' by Old Blood Noise Endeavours. But it's quite expensive after international shipping and the currency change. I want to try replicating it in the Helix, but I'm pretty new to Fuzz tones (mostly been an OD guy) and haven't done a good job so far. Who can help me get a preset together that works like the Alpha Haunt? PEDAL DEMO .

As title says, trying to emulate the tone I use in my DAW (using Amplitube 3) on my Amplifi FX100 for room practice. The tone I have on Amplitube is: PEDALS "Overdrive" (BOSS Super Overdrive SD-1) "Class Fuzz" (Roger Mayer Classic Fuzz) AMP Marshall AFD 100 (Slash Marshall amp; it's meant to be a hybrid of his modded #34 JCM with some Silver Jubilee stuff in there too) CAB 412 Celestion V30 amp Condenser 87 mic RACK Digital Reverb (rack unit) So far I've gotten pretty close. In Amplifi I'm using: PEDALS Vetta Juice - without this I can't get the punch that the modded AFD 100 has Facial Fuzz - Not exactly the Mayer Fuzz, but close AMP 1987 Brit Gain Silver J CAB 412 V30 SM57 angled 45 RACK 4-band EQ Chamber Reverb But the tone is missing that SD-1 BAD. There's a SHNK sound that is added to palm mutes on Amplitube that makes the tone super aggressive (no pun intended). But I can't find a pedal in Amplifi that will do it. Thoughts?
-
I'm new here but I just noticed that there two sub-forums for Amplifi; one under pedalboards and another one under amplifiers. Don't they all use the same effects? Why split users into two separate areas when one person in one sub might be able to help out someone else posting in the other sub. Seems a bit stupid.
