I have a Helix LT with a broken foot pedal... I know I can send it in and have it repaired. But instead I was wondering if anyone is aware of a midi foot controller I could use instead? I have an extra pedal already so I have my wah needs handled. But getting another switch or two would be awesome since I lose the access to the toe switch and foot controller 1 in my current state.

Variax does this.

I currently use 9 and I have used 8 gauge strings (with proper setup after changing gauges) with no tonal difference at all. I've seen many A/B videos online, A/B recorded my own guitars after changing gauges and there is really very little to any truth about tone and string gauge. Now, if you attack the strings differently, maybe you play softer on light gauge strings for example, then you'll have tone changes. But nobody can say ZZ Top's tone is thin and he uses 7 gauge.

Thank you Phil... but just for anyone else who gets confused it doesn't show up in the menu right now. You can only set it with the Mode Footswitches in 2.81.

I'm not seeing the option to have the helix floor or the helix lt use the 8 stomp format. I don't see anything in the notes about that. If it is in fact gone, this would have been extremely helpful to know, I do a lot of pedal hopping and I need the 8 view. I honestly wouldn't have upgrade if that was the case. So am I just missing it or something? Did we really lose this view?

I have 2 headrush units. I have one behind me and louder to come as close to having an amp on stage as I can and I have one directly in front of my helix on the ground to simulate a typical live stage monitor. That way when I really need to hear something clearly I can stand in front of the monitor. When I'm moving around I have the louder one acting like an amp so I can hear it anywhere.

I know these pop up here and there but I'm checking all the major vendors who sell the JTV-89F and they are all saying unavailable or discontinued. Anyone heard anything? Did I miss an announcement? I've got 2 of these but if they are off the market I have to grab a backup ASAP!

Thanks peeps!

I know this has been posted but I've been digging for an hour and can't find the post I read a while back on how to clean the pickups. Any tips?

I've used 8 gauge tuned ½ step down for years on both of my 89Fs. No problem at all with stability or tone. I've experimented for years with sting gauge and tone and honestly it is nowhere near as important and many think it is. ZZ Top uses 7 gauge strings, can't tell me his tone is thin. A good amp and a good guitar gives you the versatility you need to make up for any small difference string gauge introduces.

I did it for 4 years, never had a problem. That said, I was probably just lucky. I don't do anymore since it was brought to my attention.

Anyone figure this out? I'm having the same problem with dual cabs. A works B is 100% off.

I've used Helix FRFR for years with outstanding results.

No regrets at all. Maybe knowing the tuner was so unstable. I would have bought a little bigger case so a tuner pedal fit.

It would be the same for any device by any manufacturer. IT all has to do with volume not the devices.
