Thx @rd2rk im going to check that out and get back to you. THx so much

OK so after a morning of reading and trying this is where I think I am......i have the plan in the pervious post working (I think) but if im reading everything right, it doesn't seem like I can use all 6 switches in the plan... I am limited for 4 switches because both preset mode and snapshot mode need to have the bank up and down buttons and you are limited to 4 snapshots anyway. So in the pic you can see 4 of the 6 things i needed. If this preset was Song 1 for example, then i would bank up to Song 2 preset where I can have 4 more snapshots. Also i switched it to latch mode so it doesn't jump into the the parameter view. So i guess my remaining question here is, is there any way I can use all 6 buttons to do what I need in the original plan above or am i basically limited to 4?

Thx again for all your help @rd2rk So in short, I'm not having issues with the midi part of my problem. I have already successfully programed different switches to change the WAZA midi RIgs successfully. I'm having issues understanding how to get my HX Effects to the final setup below. I'm not sure if I need to make multiple presets, snapshots, etc....I have been reading and watching tons of videos and I am making progress, but every time I take a step forward something takes me 2 steps back. So this would be my ideal set up. I look down at my HX effects and see 6 switches Switch #1 - Clean (switch to external amp channel 1 via MIDI + turn on HX reverb) Switch #2 - Dirt (switch to external amp channel 1 via MIDI+ turn on HX fuzz) Switch #3 - Heavy Distortion (switch to external amp channel 2 via midi + turn on HX Overdrive) Switch #4 - Effects Mix 1 (switch to external amp channel 1 via MIDI + turn on HX digital delay, and HX phaser) Switch #5 - Effects Mix 2 (switch to external amp channel 1 via MIDI + turn on HX Fuzz, and HX phaser) Switch #6 - Effects Mix 3 - (switch to external amp channel 2 via MIDI + turn on HX Flanger) How i want it to operate: When I tap a switch, the previous switch is turning off all its effects and the next switch replaces it. It's not adding to the sound but swapping it completely. I don't need the switches to switch to a mode where I can see all the individual settings of each pedal in each of the 6 items I listed above. It just needs to fire the assigned MIDI command and output the sound the default settings. I can use the editor later if I need to tweek anything. I've read a lot of the manual and I've read about the advantages and disadvantages of presets and snapshots and the modes but I'm getting disoriented and lost on how to plan for the above. So what advice I need is: First you need to create a preset for..... then a snapshot for.... to get all the settings right Then you need to enter ____ mode to actually play the songs with the footswitches in that manner Here are your limitations. I don't need help understanding the HX software or how to operate the board. I can look all that up. I just need a birds eye view on how to form a mental model on the above. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks again

So actually i think i found the perfect video below: To correct my above statement, I think the correct hierarchy is First Setup: Preset 1 Snapshot one (Clean) = Midi Commend (PC1 CH1), Reverb(Rate3, decay 12) Snapshot two (Dirty) = Midi Commend (PC1 CH2), , Boost (Gain 6) Snapshot three: (Chugs) = Midi Commend (PC1 CH3), Tremolo (rate 6) Then assign the proper preset > snapshot number to footswitches Assignments Footswitch 1 (Clean: Preset 1 > Snapshot 1) Footswitch 1 (Dirty: Preset 1 > Snapshot 2) Footswitch 1 (Chugs: Preset 1 > Snapshot 3) So i need to make one preset, with 3 snapshots and then once that's done assign each preset/snapshot to each of the 3 footswitches/ Does this seem right?

Firstly thanks for helping me out @rd2rk Trying to decipher what you are saying. I'm a bit new and are many terms and the Line 6 "term sheet" actually doesn't cover many of them So my first question is, can it be done at all? I sense you are saying that I CAN send both a midi command and activate an effect with one button click if I use snapshots. Is that correct? Second is, what is the hierarchy of what i'm trying to do? I think I need a chart like this Physical Button 1 Button Assignment Preset 1 Snapshot one: Midi Commend (PC1 CH1) Snapshot two: Reverb(Rate3, decay 12) Snapshot three: Boost (Gain 6) Physical Button 2 Button Assignment Preset 2 Snapshot one: Midi Commend (PC1 CH2) Snapshot two: Reverb(Rate3, decay 12) Snapshot three: Boost (Gain 6) Is the above right or do I have the hierarchy wrong? I know i can get this right but I'm just not sure where to look

Hey all. I'm now to the HX Effects and MIDI and was wondering if you guys could help Here is my rig: Guitar > HX Effects > Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander (via midi in) > Mesa Mini Rectifier {1/4 cable into footswitch Jack) Basically the Boss Tube Amp Expander switches the Mega Bogie Rec Mini Channels for me, all i need to do is use the midi from the HX Effects to tell the Boss TAE to switch its channels (called rigs) and then use the settings of the BOSS TAE to switch the amp channel Trying to figure this all out has been such a chore. Ive been able to at least successfully use command center to switch the rigs but getting those correctly assigned to a button in the way I want is confusing as hell. I think I need snapshots but not sure. Below is how I want this to function Button 1 on HX Effects = Rig 1 on BOSS TAE - with HX Reverb - and Amp Clean channel Button 2 on HX Effects = Rig 2 on BOSS TAE - with HX Chorus - HX Distortion - Amp Clean channel Button 3 on HX Effects = Rig 3 on BOSS TAE - with HX Boost - AMP Dirty channel So i basically need to have both a midi command sent, and an effect turned on, with each tap of the footswitch (As mentioned I already know how to change the amp channel from the TAE to the amp so that's not a mystery anymore) So what do I do? Are these presents? Snapshots? How do I assign them to buttons? Should I use the editor software or the buttons on the unit? Help?!?! PS. Also I know there is a TRS jack to switch channels on the HX Effects but that wont control my BOSS TAE Rigs because screw me

Hey. Was wondering if anyone can help me. I have a Marshall VS100 head with 3 channels (clean / OD1 / OD2). It has a 2 button footswitch that connects to a single TRS 1/4 Jack. All buttons off means clean / left button on means OD1, and all buttons on mean OD2). In case it matters, left button off / right button on is also clean. So given that I am getting 3 amp functions with a single 1/4 TRS jack now, how does that translate to what outputs I need to use for the Helix FX? Could I get access to all 3 channels from a single one of those amp/exp Helix outputs, or would I need some Y cable thing and use both of those Helix outputs? Or is it impossible in either case? Any ideas? Trying to see if id have the ability to control all 3 channels with one of the Helix AMP / EXP outputs so I could still use an expression pedal for the other Helix AMP / EXP output.
