EXPRESSION PEDAL STOPS RESPONDING

[trollpickreport]

Hi, 

I bought Helix lt in April 2018, since then I was very satisfied with this unit.

 

Since almost 2 months, the Helix onboard expression pedal is behaving very random, being this the second or third time it happens to me:

 

The expression pedal stops working for no reason.

 

The switch toggle from exp 1/exp 2 works fine, I've tried switching presets, snapshots, switching from exp 1/2 , deleting Volume block and adding it again, new preset with volume block, etc. Im thinking also in a factory reset, cause this is very annoying.

 

The worst part is that it happens while gigging,  from one part of a song to another, the pedal stops working. I don't want to lose confidence on this unit but it's giving me a hard time.

 

If I'm using it for swelling, well , it is a FAIL if the unit's expression pedal behaves randomly.

I have external expression pedals, but using one doesn't fix my issue.

 

The first time it happened to me, it lasted like 1 hour or so, this time I don't know. I just switched it off cause I was tired .

 

I started to look on google hoping to know what was happening, but I think it only happens to me, since there's no other cases like mine in forums, at least.

While digging I found out this thing has an optical sensor, but nothing else. Maybe that's the trouble, the damn sensor.

 

Can you help me with this?

Thanks

How did you go with this as the same happens to me also as the switch from EXP1 to EXP2 is working though no action just stays on full)  and I have to go out of the patch and go back in the reset it.
