tywebb Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I've been using a comprehensive pedal board for quite some time now, but have played with POD XT, Boss GT-100 and other older modellers in the past. After a fair amount of research and YouTubing I'm close to making the jump to the Helix LT, but have a quick expression controller question. I'm sure this is a no brainer to any of you guys, but haven't had a hands on with this yet and need to know if I can assign a volume or wah to Exp 1 and then have Exp 2 control the speed of a tremolo or rotary or any number of other block-type parameters? Thanks for the assist and looking forward to rockin this beast! ~cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Shouldn't be an issue... And if you haven't bought anything yet, consider the full Helix, if you can swing the $... you might not "need" all the extra ins and outs, but the scribble strips are tremendously useful, especially live... you don't have to remember what FX you've assigned where, or which snapshot is which, it's all spelled out... plus buying the big brother lets you get Native for only $99, which is huge if you want to do any recording...re-amping is brain-dead simple with Native.

jws1982 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 +1 on going full vs lt. the scribbles, extra exp pedal input, extra I/O, and two extra footswitch buttons are very worth it if you’re coming over from an elaborate pedalboard.
