The AMP's Midi setting can't be changed. It is fixed. It needs PC on Midi Channel 1. But it also receives CC on channel1. So I try to use Command Center and change Base Channel. ;-) THX

Hello, Is there a reason why the HX*s Looper Block sends out MIDI CC? And is possible to deactivate this? Because my AMP reacts on those CC's. Whenever I start to record or overdub, my AMP's Boost gets activated.

Yes. But when using that gear, we have roadies. ;-) For rehearsals, sessions or small club gigs (where we can't afford roadies) I bought the HX. So. I need a PS that fits underneath this board. ;-)

First of all. An external PS is a piece of s... ;-) Not a pro tool at all. I use a Fractal AXE 3 and AX8. They all come with an internal PS. But I like the HELIX HX. Awesome piece of gear. I use it mainly for rehearsals or as backup. And I do understand that for the size you need an external PS. I know that the best solution will be a CIOKS DC-7. These are the best PS at all. I have several DC-10 on my other boards so I know what I am talking about. But a DC-7 only to power one HX ????? ;-) I also like the idea of having some kind of black box (a small one ;-) ) where I have only one plug to power up everything. Powercon True1 that is. The LINE 6 PS is a switch mode power supply. For sure manufactured in China. Probably made in the same plant where I ordered mine ;-) I could easily build a traditional PS with transformer , rectifier and regulator. But I am not that familiar with switch mode PS. A PS is not rocket science. And as I stated above . The HX don't need 3 A at all. It is 9 Volt DC. You may not reverse the polarity. But hey, that is greasy kid stuff. Don't worry. I won't blow up my HX. So any experts for switch mode PS? Probably the ripple voltage too high? Switching frequency 60 k okay? Or better choose a PS with > 150 K. Is it clean enough: Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope ;-) Another idea is, buying another DC3 , crack it up and put it in proper box ;-)

Hi, I did measure the current draw on my Helix HX. Even with all blocks enabled , the max amperage I could read was around 1.1 A. The DC3 says its providing 3 A. That may be necessary for other Helix devices but - so my guess - not for the HX. I just ordered a PS (switch mode) from China. The benefit in that case ? Very small, so I can build a DIY PS that fits perfectly underneath the pedalboard. Here the specs: 1.Input voltage: AC 85-250V(50/60Hz) 2.Output: DC 9V/1.5A 3.Output voltage accuracy: 9V±1% 4.Output ripple: 100mV 5.Load adjustment rate: ±3% 6.Voltage adjustment rate: ±1% 7.Efficiency: 84% 8.Switching frequency: 60K 9.Protection: Over current protection, over voltage protection, over temperature protection 10.Withstand voltage: 3000V 11.Size: L38mm * W25mm * H22mm 12.Weight: 27g So? Your thoughts? Regards Knut
