jpdennis, Thanks so much for the tips! I believe I was having issues setting the switch to momentary as was suggested in earlier posts in the Line6 forums, but that may have only applied to an earlier HX firmware. If the algorithms lead others to this post in the future, here are the settings I used for some of the looper commands: - First, look in the RC-5 manual for instructions on how to assign MIDI CC’s on the looper pedal for the various functions. Also check which MIDI channel is assigned to the RX CTL CH - For a function that toggles like RHYTHM P/S or increments like MEMORY INC, use Command Center on the Helix to assign two MIDI commands to a footswitch. In the first command, set the Action parameter to press, Command parameter to CC, MIDI Channel parameter to match the RX CTL CH on the pedal, the CC# parameter to match the function previously set on the looper pedal, and the Value parameter to 127. For the second MIDI command, set the Action parameter to release and the Value parameter to 0. All other parameters are the same in both commands. The footswitch will be latching, so the light will turn on and off on each press by default. - For a function in a list of items like PATTERN, you only need one MIDI command assigned to a footswitch on the Helix. For example, setting the Value parameter to 0 would trigger the Simple Beat 1 pattern, and a Value parameter of 1 would trigger Simple Beat 2. Really happy I got this working, as throwing a Boss pedal in frustration would probably cause some serious damage :)

I have been struggling with getting Command Center on my Stadium XL to control my Boss RC-5 looper with MIDI. It is not acting like I’ve seen some examples of solutions for Boss’s weird MIDI implementation on the OG Helix. For example, I set CC 82 on the pedal to Memory Increase, and set a footswitch on the Helix to send 127 on a press and 0 on a release to that CC. I then create a “dummy” send block and assign the bypass control to the same block and set the footswitch to momentary. As soon as I press the footswitch, the pedal scrolls up through all of the presets until it stops at 99. I am able to get Rhythm Start/Stop on the pedal to work with a simple CC Toggle command on another footswitch on the Helix. Has anyone gotten their Boss looper pedal to work with the Helix, and if so how did you do it?

I just bought a used Pod Go from Guitar Center, and when I power on the unit the screen goes to white briefly before the red and black "bean screen" appears. The screen also briefly goes to white when powering down. I have owned an HX Stomp, an HX Stomp XL and a Helix LT, and I've never seen this behavior before on any of those units. I updated the unit to 2.50 from 2.1 when I received it, and everything seems to be working fine once it is booted up. The power supply doesn't say "Line 6" anywhere on it, but it appears to be an authentic DC-3h power supply (big DC-3h in the right corner of the label, massive choke attached to incredibly thin wires). Has anyone else experienced that quick white screen flash? I am well within GC's return window, so I want to make sure everything is ok wit the unit. Thanks
