Hello, as a Helix newbie (former boss gt-1000), am very pleased with it so far. At the moment I am using it in front of the amp with my blackstar HT-club 40 combo and extension cabinet as i love the preamp sound of the blackstar. i have a few gigs coming up so, planning to use the 4CM once they are out of they way and i have some time so i can keep the BS preamp sound, and benefit from the amp modelling in the helix - whereas at the moment i am really using it as a pedal board.
The external amp switch works fine, first time. BUT, when i save all the snapshots (e.g. clean, dirty etc) they initially work fine. However, later at band practice i plug in, the amp switch setting for the snapshot has changed. dirty becomes clean and vice versa - when i assign the footswith (and light) to be on when dirty - it is now the opposite. and i have to go through every preset and re-save. Then, you guessed it, i get home, and the same thing happens only now the channel switch changes again, and lit means the clean rather than dirty channel. Am using a TRS cable and the blackstar has additional reverb and voice settings that can be controlled by TRS but i dont what that just simple channel switch (i.e. ring).
This is driving me nuts, if anyone can help or offer a suggestion i would greatly appreciate it
all the best
Nigel
