If cables are plugged into the left & right output of any effects processor the unit will split the sound left & right so you'll only get half of the desired effect when you run your rig in mono. To get around this you could double up on your presets and have one as stereo L/R and a copy panned hard left (or right?) then you could use either set of presets depending on your connection on the panel. I know he's a sore point on guitar forums but Mason Marangella of Vertex Effects talks about the whole "summing to mono" topic on the their YouTube channel

Just because Derek Trucks doesn’t use pedals on stage (or in the studio?) doesn’t mean that you can’t to get the sound you want. Adding a compressor will get your notes to sustain better - the LA compressor would be a good choice in the front end - or even a boost/EQ somewhere in the chain. A lot of slide players use two compressors in series and the Origin Effects SlideRig pedal built that way. Remember that all live recordings will have Front of House applying compression/limiting/EQ to every sound source individually so you won’t get “the sound” from just an amp & cab

Hi all I'm looking to expand my HX Stomp functionality with an expression pedal (or two). I'm not looking for brand recommendations but the following; Both the Line 6 & Mission Engineering pedals have 10k ohm linear pots in them but I've read on various sites (in researching for HX and Eventide H9 use) that value isn't a given and others say it is. So my question is has anyone had experience using an expression pedal with a 20k ohm pot in it with their Line 6 & other units and does it make any real difference between the two values? Thanks, Ben

Thanks for sharing. I'll check them out at the weekend when I have some time

I bought an HX Stomp at the end of October. I've just loaded the backup I took when I first got it (before playing around with any of the settings) and there's not a preset called "Seismic Matters". Unless its name has been changed? If anyone else knows the new nameI can get you a copy of the preset

Pete Thorn mentions what he does in this video using an Eventide H9 but the theory can be applied in the Helix world: https://youtu.be/YqCFo32emgg?t=483 And Michael Westbrook has a video about this specifically in use with the HX Stomp: https://youtu.be/St155g4t2w0

You just need a 2.5mm centre negative (straight or right angled) to 2.5mm centre negative right angle extension/converter cable. eBay/Amazon/any electrical parts site should have them. I use a GigRig power supply and had to buy a 2.1mm (Boss size) to 2.5mm cable for £6-7. If you're using the original power supply it's just 2.5 to 2.5
