My first inclination is to say, "Cool!" But that just seems like the wrong word...

You've put some thought into this too! I am using the Helix for amp modeling as well, I suppose my post meandered a bit and was evidently a bit misleading on that. My vision of how this feature would operate is as per your second version: I admit I hadn't considered the possible conflict with other switch functionality, but that would certainly have to be taken into account. To me, if the way you use the Helix makes dedicating a switch to this desirable, I don't think you'd see it as a sacrifice. Thanks for the input and the upvote!

Cool, thanks Mark!

Thanks Roscoe! It's the physical travel of the foot treadle that has me wondering: if my donor wah (or the Roto Vibe chassis) has a different physical sweep distance between heel-down and toe-down than the Mission pedal does, that will affect how far the pot travels. Not sure if/how that is accounted for, or if it ends up being significant in the long run. I suppose that if the gears are the same, then the travel is probably reasonably similar from chassis to chassis.

Thanks for that, Peter! I'm fairly new to the forum and haven't stumbled across those tricks as yet, but I'm on the prowl now!

I'm very intrigued by this, as I'm looking for couple of expression pedals for my Helix and I've got an old wah and an old defunct Roto Vibe that would be fun to toy with. Does the sweep of the modified wah provide a proper 0-100 in Helix? Is this something that can be adjusted in the settings? I just ordered a couple of these pots so I'll know soon enough, but interested to hear from folks who've done it. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for shining the spotlight on these! Tucson, AZ is a dusty place and I'm always fighting to keep it out of my gear, this looks a great product. I just sent these guys an e-mail.

Hi all, I've submitted an idea to IdeaScale and I thought I'd toss it out here for anyone else who finds it appealing to vote for. I use Helix basically as a glorified and highly adaptable pedalboard, by which I mean that rather than designing a preset around a specific tone or a set of tones for a specific song or the like, I design presets as flexible collections of options built around what I'm doing with a specific guitar. So basically a different rig and pedalboard for each guitar. Or more like multiple rigs and pedalboards for each guitar, but I digress. Prior to 2.0, I did everything in 10-Switch Stomp Mode. With the introduction of Snapshots, I use the Snapshot function to handle amp switching and parameter changes for different gain levels, but I still like to control effects independently, like a pedalboard. The 4 switches that you get in "Snapshot/Stomp" mode don't quite cut it, and I don't use the Preset scrolling function on footswitches 1/6 on the fly, so I'm still using Stomp Mode for pedalboard duty. Where it gets clunky is that you can't access Snapshots in Stomp Mode, so switching amps/gain levels and switching Stomps requires going back and forth between modes. I'd like to be able to assign Snapshots to switches in 10-Switch Stomp Mode in order to take advantage of the functionality of Snapshots and the versatility of 10-Switch mode. Makes sense to me! http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Option-to-assign-Snapshots-to-switches-in-10-Switch-Stomp-Mode/833058-23508

You can submit a feature request on Ideascale where other users can see it and vote on it. It seems they're pretty good about paying attention to stuff that gets a lot of votes. http://line6.ideascale.com/

Oh man, what a wonderful post! Thanks for all of the info! If it wouldn't cost me $100 in ink, I'd print it out and laminate it. Good stuff!
