Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Can't figure out a way to make this work. Has anyone else? I've tried TRS and TS cables, ring, tip, etc etc - any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hmm, the Classic 30 uses a very simply footswitch, so it should be pretty straightforward, and the HX should be able to control it. You need a TRS cable if you want to switch between the channels and turn the reverb on and off. On the HX itself, you'll need to go into the Global Settings menu and set the function of one the pedal jacks to EXT AMP. Then you need to go into the Command Center to assign an EXT AMP command to a footswitch, and the select the Tip, Ring or Both setting. I'm betting that Tip controls the channel and ring controls the reverb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have no idea how I haven't made this work yet. Let me give it another go and let you know what I come up with. I swear, I've read the manual on this. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Make sure you're assigning the EXT AMP command to a footswitch and not just an Instant Command (the lightning bolt icons). The EXT AMP won't work unless you assign that command to a footswitch first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Still can't quite get it to work... not sure how to best troubleshoot this... I hear a pop when i hit the switch, but no change. The Classic 30 has the channel switch depressed, which is what it needs to switch with a regular switcher.

Try touching FS3 and turning Knob 1, where it says "select" and choose "1 - Tip to Sleeve". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah no settings work... For reverb or amp channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I tested the cable but maybe I should try a different type of cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Have you tried using the other pedal jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonbrianmerrill Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I have tried- I wonder if I messed up a setting somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergej_krynycky Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hey man! Did you managed to figure out the channel switching on your Peavey Classic with the HX Effects? I'm thinking of getting the effects unit and I play through Peavey Invective MH which seems to have the same channel switching system (footswitch) as the Classic 30.

headbush Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I think I will try to fix this with relay switch. The relay will basically do what the actual switch on the footswitch is doing. but will be controlled via the HX. Will post if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenlbham Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Any resolution on this? I just got a Helix LT and am having the same issue unsuccessfully trying to get it to change the channel on my Classic 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
