For what it's worth . . . . I use 2 outbound effects pedals; Wah and Whammy. The Helix can replicate the sounds of both well, but I like having immediate access to the pedals so chose to keep them. I have them rigged up to the effects loops. All of this works great, but my pedalboard is still too big, a problem that I wanted to solve when buying the Helix.
I had a 3rd pedal which was a volume, but I predominantly have the Helix expression rigged up for volume on Ex1, and Gain on EX2, which gives me more than the old volume pedal gave.
What would help me is to include either 1 or 2 additional expression pedals on the Helix. I know that sounds like a lot, but I would imagine there are more people like me who need access to pedals immediately and without having to switch around to gain access. This would give me 2 different wah's + 2 different pre-loaded whammy/pitch bend effects.
Oh, and at least 1 of the expression pedals, where you include 2 or 3, should be spring loaded. My current wah is the Morley Power Wah, and I love the face that it springs back to the off position. I'm sure there's some fancy engineering technology that allows the springs to be engaged/disengaged.
Thanks. I guess it depends on how many others have asked the same . . . . . .
