Tyton Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I need to know if it is possible to control the reverb mix as well as the flanger mix in a preset from the expression pedal at the same time. Toe down I want full mix both and toe up mix off both. Can't seem to get it right so came here for advice... Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueViolince Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yes, you can. I assign exp1 to probably 5 or 6 effect blocks in most of my patches, plus a couple more for exp 2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any parameter you want to change with the expression just hold down the knob, set which expression you want to assign it to, then set the max and min. I control about 6 different parameters with one of my expressions. Don't forget, the min value can be larger than the max value to give it a reverse sweep. I do this when I increase amp gain, I also decrease channel volume simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yes to the min max thing. Make the min mix 100% and the max mix 0% for both effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 .... I do this when I increase amp gain, I also decrease channel volume simultaneously. I do this too, with almost all my presets. Allows me to use the amp drive dynamically instead of engaging a stomp pedal sometimes. I find the drive gives a little warmer breakup. I do notice, however, that the overall volume increases a bit at the mid-sweep position vs. the toe/heel positions. That's probably due to the taper curve built into the pedals. I haven't tried too hard to find a solution yet; it's not a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably due to the taper curve built into the pedals. I haven't tried too hard to find a solution yet; it's not a big issue. I initially did some mid cuts to try to alleviate that effect, but I just started taking advantage of it rather than fixing it. My main patch is Litigator based with bass/mid/treble all on 10. I vary amp drive from 1.5 to 4.0, and back off channel volume from 9.0 to 6.9. Mid sweep I get a very nice mid range bump that is glorious to my ears. So, I quit trying to fix it. I am sure that affect varies from amp to amp model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StruckingFuggle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Try that with a tube amp. 😂 I did it frequently with my Triaxis, my JMP 1, and my HK Mkiii years ago. Lots of tube amps are supporting MIDI these days. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they cylindrical? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyton Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thank you all for the input I got it now... jbuhajla gave me the correct way I was looking for. That is the great thing about the family of Helix users. I appreciate the help. Thank You!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of tube amps are supporting MIDI these days. :) The first two are preamps only - not amps. Yes, some of the HK amps will allow this but most of the functionality on most tube amps that have Midi seems limited to just channel switching. The ones that have more functionality seem pretty few and far between. And are horribly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
