Geeman Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Greetings everyone, I am having trouble getting my Wah and external volume pedal to work on Exp1 and Exp2 respectively. According to the manual, "Adding a Wah or Pitch Wham block automatically assigns it to be controlled by EXP 1." My Helix for some reason assigns the Wah to Exp 2. So when I add my Mission Engineering volume pedal to the Exp2 jack, it also controls my Wah block. I have to connect my volume pedal to Exp3 in order to have the Wah and volume work properly. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I hooking something up wrong? I cannot figure out how to make the Wah assigned to Exp 1, even though I've tried to assign it by going to Menu > Controller Assign and setting Controller to "Exp Pedal 1". The Wah will not work under Exp 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wah will not work under Exp 1. This may sound like a dumb question, but are you sure the wah block is on when you're changing the controller assignment? The on/off functionality would still be controlled by the toe switch, so if your volume pedal is working, perhaps you still had them both turned off and on by the toe switch?

Geeman Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 No sir, not a dumb question. But yes, I did make sure it is assigned to the toe switch and that I engaged it. So since I posted this, I made up a new patch with just a Wah block > Amp block > Volume pedal. This is working perfectly with the Wah on Exp1 and Volume on Exp2. For some reason, the patch I was having trouble with, which utilized an A/B switch to switch between two different amps, and all four paths (1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B) were also used, wouldn't work properly. I guess I should go back and rebuild this patch from scratch and see if it fixes anything. Thank you Phil for your reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeman Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I rebuilt the troubled patch from scratch and Wah and Volume work as intended (with Wah on Exp1 and Volume on Exp2). Even though I double-checked all my foot switch and controller assignments with the troubled patch, I could not find any reason as to why Wah and Volume would only work on Exp2 and Exp3. I can only assume that, not unlike computer programming, sometimes after too much editing and moving things around, something gets messed up and you have to just start over.
