Assigning a pedal to multiple foot switches

[fukuri]

I'm a big fan of assigning multiple FX to a single foot switch e.g. I have one that switches on both overdrives simultaneously

I also have a crunch pedal in a loop

Now I can assign that to the foot switch above and have it switch off when I put both over drives on

Is there a way I can also just switch it on and off by itself

I'm trying to avoid that moment of clean as I switch one off and the other two on

I don't believe that you can control the on/off status of a single block via two different foot switches. So, the short answer is "no". However, there are often some creative ways to work around things with the helix. While I obviously don't know your setup and if the following is viable, but you might consider leveraging a "mix" or "level" parameter via a footswitch. That is, a switch that is programmed to change a parameter that achieves a function similar to on/off -- like dropping its level to "0". For example, when you engage the overdrives, have that same footswitch drop the level of the crunch pedal to zero. Use another pedal to raise the level back to its previous state. Again, might not be the solution for you, but may get you headed in the right direction. I've had a few of these conundrums recently, and I can usually find a suitable solution given the flexibility of the Helix.

Thanks for the reply

Interesting

I wonder if I can set the mix level of the pedal in the loop (it's a KOT) to 0% via another foot switch

That might do it

Just add additional instances of any effect you need to control with more than one foot switch?

[fukuri]

It's an external loop soni can only have 1 instance thanks

[fukuri]

Setting the Mix to toggle on one of the foot switches does the trick

Can you rename or colour Footswtches that control parameters? I can't seem to find a way of doing it?

Yes—it can be accomplished from the Command Center screen

Ta DI

I'll work out how later
