I know this is on the bug list and that it's being worked on. In the meantime is there any way I can change my patches or do any extra steps to work around this issue so that it doesn't happen? Obviously I can just rock the volume pedal back and forth to get the volume up again but I'd rather just prevent it. Details: Running firmware 2.12. Not connected to a computer or anything, just playing live. I boot up and plug in, start rehearsing and or performing. Last night it was about 5 minutes after booting up. This morning it must have been 2 hours. Different patches but the base is the same. All my patches have a volume block and I have exp 1 set to the volume pedal and exp2 set to wah. I have pedal settings set to global (not per preset). I am not using the volume pedal when the volume cuts out, but I am playing. Rocking exp1 vol pedal makes the volume come back. For me this only happens once per boot. Not sure if there's any other info that's pertinent. Waiting for a fix but willing to use a workaround if anybody has one.

Agreed. Would much rather have improved stability and usability than more amps. Overall couldn't be happier with my Helix.

Is there any advantage to using the combined amp and cab block vs separate amp and cab blocks, or vice versa?

Are you using exp1 or exp2 for your volume block?

I have exp1 set as volume pedal on all my patches and I am experiencing this about once per gig. If changing to exp2 solves it I guess it's worth it but would rather use exp1 for volume and have 2 and 3 open for external pedals. I'll try it out.

Not sure if mine was the same cause as others but going through the steps at http://line6.com/support/topic/24048-fw-210-expression-pedal-question/ seems to have alleviated the issue, at least I haven't seen it since.

I realize some people have never seen this problem. I am seeing it after the 2.1 update after importing pre 2.1 saved presets back into the helix. I'll have some time to try to fix it tonight will update if I have any luck. Saw it yesterday right in the middle of a set - volume just went to 0 and I had to move the pedal to get the volume back.

That's my approach right now as well.

So if I understand correctly, if you plug in an external controller it gets assigned as volume automatically rather than the built in pedal becoming volume automatically. Is there some advantage to doing it that way?

any ideas on what the pencil holder looking things to either side of the small pouch were intended for?
