Pat6969 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I was able to set the pedal to be off in the heel down position on my HXFX but can I get it to be off in the toe down position and auto engage from there? Acts more like a real wah if that is possible and that is what I was use to on the AX8. Sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks.

phil_m Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yes, you can do that. I would suggest reversing the pedal's polarity under Global Settings>Pedals. That way the Wait parameter for the Auto-Engage functionality will work as intended. So with the polarity reversed, 0% would be at the toe, and 100% would be at the heel. You would probably want the position for the bypass to be between 1 and 5%. You would also need to go and reverse the Min and Max settings for whatever parameter you're controlling the pedal.

Perfect, thanks. One other question. I bought the EX-1 expression pedal but I really don't like it. I want to use the Roland EV-5, will that work 100% with the HXFX?

Pat6969 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Someone must know if the Roland EV-5 works for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsiegle Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The Helix expects a TS plug - not TRS as many expression pedals have. Per the Roland web site the EV-5 is TRS so that won't work as is and would have to be modified. I attached a schematic for the EV-5 mod. Thanks to the author of these circuits! I forget where I downloaded them from. I use a Moog EP-3. It has a TRS connector but I rewired it for TS using the attached schematic. Most common TS expression circuits use a 10k pot but my Moog EP-3 has 100k pot and it works fine. Not sure why the graphic shows a 10k pot for the EP-3. Mine is 100k.

Pat6969 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Anyone know how to change the min/max setting when I reverse polarity on the pedal? Can't seem to locate it in the manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Phil - How do I do that in the wah block? It doesn't seem like there's a way. When I reverse the polarity so toe-down is off, the wah works backwards and I can't seem to reverse the min/max. Thanks for all your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tube_Stack Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Also, my pedal is a Dunlop Mini, DVP4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tube_Stack Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Now that I think of it, the DVP4 needed to be inverted already, in order for it to work right… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tube_Stack Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Ok, figured it out, had to go into controller assign to reverse min/max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
