MacShock Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi, I am new to Helix. I still have my "old" volume pedal from the time when I played with a traditional pedal board. It is a Dunlop mini Volume dip 4. I tried to use it with Helix as volume or expression pedal but it did not work. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to buy a specific volume/exp pedal that works with Helix. If so, do you know of any mini pedal that would go with Helix. Thanks for your help.

Guitarmaniac64 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is it this pedal? https://reverb.com/item/2102146-dunlop-dvp4-volume-x-mini-pedal? If so did you use the aux output? And did you make sure you have the right exp for the volym block or the effect parameter you will use with that pedal? I have an old Boss FV-50L i use with my Helix and it works fine for volym. I have to change to logarithmic instead of linear so i get a smoother volym sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacShock Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Guitarmaniac64, thank you for your input. Yes, that is the pedal, a dvp4 from dunlop. It works now perfectly fine. I use a normal 1/4 inch from pedal output to exp3 of helix. I also need to plug an empty jack to the input (without that it does not work properly). This way it works as volume or expression.

DarrellM5 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Glad to hear this is working. I just happen to have one of those pedals waiting to be picked up at the post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
