One of my Helix footswitches is no longer touch responsive when I go to edit the effects assigned to it. Has anyone ever replaces a footswitch on the Helix? Does it requre any soldering? I don't have a whole lot of experience with a soldering iron... You can get replacement footswitches over at Fullcompass.com: http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/536537-Line-6-50-03-0125

I'm thinking about picking up a Helix pedalboard, but I have one question before I make the plunge. I currently have a 5150iii 50 watt amp that I would like to use with the Helix. If I use the 4CM, can I use the Helix strictly for the effects with the 5150 amp on some presets and then instantly select other presets that use the modeled preamps on the Helix and run them through the effects loop of the 5150 so that I am just using the power amp section? It would be great to use the 5150 for some amp sounds and then hit a button for a Fender Twin sound using the power amp section of the 5150 without having to do any re-wiring to make it work. Is anyone doing something similar to what I have in mind?
