Using an external foot switch

[markblack77]

Is it possible to use an external for switch with the helix? Just a simple on/off.

 

I was wondering if I could wire up the switch on a wah pedal I missed into an expression pedal and make the switch on it turn on/off the wah.

 

Using two cables coming from the expression pedal.

 

Cheers

Hi guys just wanna ask you if its possible to have multiple effects in one footswitch? Like on one footswitch there are brit 2204+flanger+reverb etc. and other footswitch has a us norm+chorus+reverb etc..

You can turn on multiple FX with one footswitch, you can even turn one on and one off at the same time AND change a few block parameters.

 

You can't have one FX assigned to multiple footswitches. Logic nightmare that.

This is true in "Pedal" mode but Snapshots essentially give you this ability, each snapshot can have the same FX on or off and with a different set of parameters effectively assigning the same FX to multiple footswitches. One snapshot for instance can have your distortion with the Drive dimed and the tone cut back, hit a different footswitch and another snapshot can have the same distortion effect with the Drive cut back and the volume and tone cranked.
