New Preset created in Helix Editor did not save correctly in Helix unit

[silvertonguitar]

Hello - I just created my first new preset in Helix editor and saved it via USB to my Helix but the stomp box screen doesn't show any of the effects I am using all of the squares are blank. I can get the full tone with all the pedals on but can't turn anything on or off via the Helix.

 

Since I am new to this I am sure I forgot something. Any assistance is greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

You have to assign effects/blocks to footswitches in Stomp Mode. It doesn't happen automatically. You can do it in HX Edit if you go to the Bypass/Controller Assign tab and set the footswitch using the pulldown menus. It much faster to make those assignments on the Helix itself, though, because of the capacitive touch footswitches. Navigate to the block you want to assign to a footswitch on the screen, and then simply touch the footswitch you want to assign it to for two seconds. You'll then see a message pop up on the screen asking if you want to assign the blocks to the footswitch. Hit OK, and that's it... Repeat that for all the blocks you want to assign to footswitches.
