Well I guess here is the end of my little Zoom FP02M saga ;-) I did the soldering as mentioned above : Connecting the ring cable to the Tip part of the TS plug, and keep the S to the S. Result this time --> 100-0-100% LOL And as I was a bit fed up with my many unfortunate attempts to fight with the electronic laws in nature, I ended up with playing with the start orientation of the inside little plastic wheel (it has two blue dots on it to fine tune I guess Go figure...., I have a great pedal that 'seems' to throw 100% OK now, without any soldering necessary and by just using a TS-TS cable ?!?! There is a slight 'slip' at the extremes, heel down and up, but so much less cumbersome for me now. (I use this pedal mostly to dial in the delays and reverbs on my patches) The pot is 100K by the way ;-) Thanks for all your inputs.

Arghh.., yes I tried that.., didn't work for me. Anyway.., will do the soldering to see if logic plays tricks with me, it's a quick job ... will let you know ;-)

OK! That changes things for me. In my case I should connect the R of the TSR part to the T of the TS and leave the T of the TRS unconnected (S-S as usual) Didn't tried that one yet :-) Will try this first time, tomorrow morning! Thanks to you all :) Wil let you know ;-)

Isn't that nr9 the same as pluggin in a TS cable? I guess for me the point is that I cut the TRS cable and used a TS plug on the Helix side, where the ring-wire is soldered with the sleeve on the S-part (so sleeve of TRS wire is also connected) Will try out the nr 11 in this scheme, when I'll have a TRS plug. Hopefully this will work finally.

Nope.. , the same thing.., it works, but it is at 100% half way maybe they changed some specs (they don't mention specs on their site :-() It's a brand new fp02M? Oh well.., I guess I have to live with it then .. ;-) Thanks again Peter.

OK, I might try that than, as the difference is that I start of with a TRS cable (the one that came with the paddle) and soldered a TS plug on it! I might try to start with a TS cable and solder a TRS plug, like you did !? Will give it a try once, as for the moment no TRS plug in my drawers ;-) Thanks for your help Pete!

I'm at 2.11, just waiting for the 2.20 to come out to update to latest ;-) I have the floor model

Hi Peter, Just wanted to know if there's something I did wrong with my 'home made' TRS to TS cable, as it's still working at 50% throw? I like the pedal and the halfway of the throw is not a deal breaker, but I wanted to shorten the original TRS cable anyway and as I'm not too afraid of soldering, I gave it a go. With a TS plug on the original TRS cable, that came with the FP02M, I tested : R to S:-> Works same as a TS (or TRS) cable but with the 50% throw R to T:-> Works but with Inverted polarity (seems logical) and still with 50% throw T to S : -> Works but, like some have in this group, with full throw going from 0 - 100 - 0% I must have missed something? Maybe there is some internal modification to apply to get the 100% throw? Do you know my error? Anyway, like I said, it's not a biggie, but it would be nice if I can get it working, in case it's something simple I missed (I'm not exactly an electronics techie ;-) )

I'm afraid you're forgetting the fact that while switching monitor systems (studio monitors/headphones with native , to Helix and stage volume/FOH will definately NOT transfer 1 on 1, unless you use the same monitor system! The patches will need proper tuning/eq, sometimes little, sometimes more, to adapt to the new situation. So many threads already with people having problems to adapt their 'at home' created patches to the live situation ;-) But with that taken into mind, Helix Native can make live easier for us guitarists! Always good :-)

Done ;-)

sorry, a bit late, but definately +1000 :-)

Why shouln't we ; This was great fun doing and I guess Jim would have loved to give it a try too :-) https://soundcloud.com/lulu-m/jim-on-the-edm-train Only guitar sound was recorded with the Helix! (the sound is a bit rough & bitey, as I discovered that the wire in my HH pickup was broken and had to be replaced)

Thanks, Yes of course I will share the patch you can find it here: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/2765441/ It's a switchable patch in between Jazz Rivet 120, and the US Double Nrm, but I used only the US Double Nrm for the recording!

Did you checked your input block settings, you should dial in the digital input setting there?

That's exactly the pedal i'm interested in! Thank you Peter for your response. I will order it next week, I do think just a TS will do fine for me too ;-)

Yes, same sort of question here too. Is somebody using a zoom fp02 pedal with the Helix? Can't find info if this one works with the Helix? I just do'n want to invest too much in an extra pedal i'll use mostly to control delay, and some other fx params. The zoom looks nice and are quite cheap?!

Slow Gear, like the Boss SG-1. Really like that fx. Use it in some of my tunes. If not some extra filters or LFO's will be nice too ;-)

I use this stereo trick very often in my DAW, and the helix! A very short mono delay (+-0.2 ms) in one of the signal chains. For the Helix, this will work best using a parallel path with two mono cabinets (2 cabs or cab + ext. IR, or two IR's etc) panned L & R ( can do that in the merge block. Put a mono single delay with about 0.2 ms on one of the single path's (not both of course) and the stereo image will be greatly enhanced!! It's a classical studio trick, nothing special, but very efficient ;-) You can hear an example on one of my tunes : https://soundcloud.com/lulu-m/wanna-play-on-my-back-seat A similar effect can be achieved by using different eq settings for the L and R channel. These tricks "widen" your normal LR panned stereo spread. Try it!!

Oh.., have to try that amp, still looking for tweeks ;-) I just did a quick patch with the US Double Nrm, switchable to the JC120, but the recording was the US Double Nrm. Thanks for the info!

I'm working with Cubase pro 8.5 (64bit) on W10 with the Helix for about 6 month's now and never had a problem like yours?! Check your USB asio driver and try changing USB port. Don't use a hub, but choose a port on the back of your PC. Hope this helps for you. Normally all should work OK.

After having my Helix for 6month's now and jammed and recorder so far only with my godin lgxt, I decided to make a patch for my good old Epiphone Emperor AB Archtop. I must confess that I don't play this lady much anymore. The lady is heavy, voluminous and the strings feel like cables. Also, the thick boxy sound is often a p.i.t.a. to have it sit nice in a mix, but Helix did the job remarkably well!! Piece of cake :-) Just some slight eq after recording (cut away some 500hz boxiness) Helix does some jazz, maybe I should play 'her' more often :-) https://youtu.be/VhcelgmUXkk

1000+ with you man!! Nothing to add except :-) :-)

Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds really interesting this Gemini 2!!

Yes me too, I've to say that the Helix completely changed my 'players fun' and I can't stop playing, enjoying & loving the beauty :wub: Never had a line 6 product before, but I would really like to put some big thumbs up, not only for the outstanding product, but also for the best and most transparent customer service and company implication, I've seen till today!! Thanks Line 6 and their employees!!
