rwinking Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 IS there any way to control the speed of the Leslie effect on the Helix? It is basically off(slow)/on(fast.) It would be cool if there were a way to have it gradually move from slow to fast like a real leslie or even better to have the EXP Pedal be able to do a variable speed on it. However, I have not been able to figure it out. I had a Digitech GSP 1101 that does this but I am not sure if either the Helix can't or if I have not been able to find out how. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The "Ramp" parameter controls how quickly the transition from the slow to fast setting takes place. All of the HX Leslie models have it, and they each have three possible settings - slow, medium, and fast. You can use an expression pedals to control the Speed parameter to go from Slow to Fast (I usually use a footswitch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Thanks Phil! That pretty much puts me in heaven! So I am assuming then that "ramp" means ramping it up slowly, medium or fast? I can't wait to get home to try it! rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 I see what I was doing.....I was looking in the legacy models and there is no ramp. I went to the stereo models and there it was. Have you tried using a pedal to vary the speed? Is that possible? that would be kind of cool. I have not had a chance to try it yet but it looked possible to set the slow speed and the high speed at the same speed and then maybe use the pedal on the high speed to vary it. @phil_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosstone64 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Can the HX Effects Tap Switch be used to ramp the leslie fx up and down? oR IS IT STRICTLY AN OUTBOARD exp OR similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do it with the tap switch, but you can set up any other footswitch on the HX Effects to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
