Good news!!! I would like to thank the good folks at Line 6 for the quick turn around time on my Helix. I dropped it off at the Authorized repair facility Wednesday March 22nd. Got an email from them telling me that Line 6 didn't have the parts to send them but they wanted it sent to them to them for review since it was an unusual repair. They graciously offered a loaner but I declined and said as long as I have it back by my next gig in two weeks I'd be fine. Got a call this Wednesday saying my Helix was back, they replaced the entire expression pedal with a new one and replaced a faulty power switch. Even better news was they covered it under warranty. I was pretty sure I was out of warranty since I've had it over a year, but they covered it anyway. So it's back, I've upgraded to 2.20 and it's working great!!
