Do you have the midi commands set to the footswitches or to the instant commands? check each snapshot and check the command center to see what you midi messages are set as.

One of the few things i actually got the Aux switch to work with was the H9... it's clunky but ok for the H9. You can't break anything here, but you will need a stereo plug and patience. I found in the end it was better to forget using the aux switch, and do most control of the H9 via midi from the Helix.

Bueler?

So, i got a stereo cable to use for the fs input on the Digitech Jamman. In my preset, i make two footswitches that send the connections to the pedal to change the loop up and down. Works like a charm... Unless i press any other button on the Snapshot menu. Any of the footswitches, even the 'next snapshot' button sends the Jamman into a perpetual count up or down. If i go back to the stomp box mode and click the buttons to change up and down they work, but wont break the cycle. If i switch presets, it resets and works again, until i push a snapshot button. What's going on here with the Ext Amp output jack??

I think you need a midi converter box for those pedals. Check this out.

i know... i got excited by how easy the process was i forgot to make a back up! Thanks for the help!

Wanted to check out some of the 2.2 factory patches, but didnt wnat to wipe my helix again.... anyone know a download spot?

So all the other switches when you're in the snapshot mode works exactly when you press the button down. FS 1&6 (Snapshot up/down) buttons seem to engage on Release - not on initial pressing. Can this be switched?? I want to press the button and it go to the next snapshot, not press than release to get to the snapshot. Is there a setting or is this an ideascale suggestion??

Can someone explain how the eq cuts work? I tried to put a high cut on the built in ir at 6 kHz. It was still a bit shrill and high top end. So I tried a high cut eq pedal after the amp at 6 kHz and it's way darker, almost muddy. So how is the eq's working? Shouldn't I get the same tone with a high cut eq after the amp as cutting from the ir screen? Where in the chain does global eq work? Before or after everything?

With global it will use the setting you saved for the Variax for every preset. With the other option, you can have the preset recall the Variax setting. This way you don't have to remember which model you used with a preset, it will change the Variax to the model selected during the last save. So preset one your Tele, preset two your lp, etc

Two Different approaches i took. The top one i selected both Lines 1 and 2 take the guitar input. Put a hard pan left on top, hard pan right on bottom. I also panned both outputs hard left and right to match. Giving me two separate signal chains to work with. Second approach i wanted to process on both 1 and 2, so i split line 1 with a hard left on the top (A) and hard right on B. This then joins back to stereo before continuing to line 2 for more processing.

The 8th notes are my issues. When on 8th note at 50% i get 8th notes starting directly on the fist 8th note. ON 100% wet, there is a gap of 2 8th notes with no sound, before the delay starts repeating on 8th notes. Basically when on 100% wet, the first repeat is missing, but at 50% the repeat is there. With the parallel routing if i leave at 50%, you can't hear the delays.

So i have a delay set to 1/8 timing that feeds into one at 1/4 time so it does a nice staccato sound. If i drop the delays down to the B line and make 100% wet (so i have parallel signals, one dry one wet) the 1/8 delay now misses the first two beats before it starts the delay so there is a pause in the staccato sounds. Is this normal for the all wet to "pause" before hitting the delay sound??

How do you decide which cabinet to use with an amp? I find very few are usable with a particular amp without twiddling every knob on the amp, to find out it's still a bad combo. Should you set the amp to the knob settings you would imagine you would set them to if you had the combo in the room, and then switch cabinets to find ones that fit? What about pairing multiple cabinets with an amp? Should you try to match the amp to the speaker that typically came with that amp? Seems like a chicken and egg thing to me.... Set the amp up first and find the cab, or set the cab and try to get the amp to match with the tone?
