rockinb Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Can a LEHLE MONO VOLUME pedal be used with the Helix floor to be an overall volume pedal allowing the onboard exp pedal to do other things ? If so, please provided info on the best way to set this up . Thx in advance .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksteruk Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 "Best way" depends on how you have your rig set up :) One way is to simply place the Lehle in between the Mono 1/4in Jack out and your FR monitor speaker. Some folks use that method. Of course it only works if you are using a mono jack output - not stereo or via the XLRs. Another way would be to place it in within a Send / Return Loop and then pop a Send/Return block into your signal chain - though this would mean passing your guitar signal through an extra stage of AD and DA conversion so I would not do that personally (and again it is only Mono) Or you could modify the Lehle so it functioned as an actual expression pedal - there are a few posts on the forum about that I think.

Thark Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Why not just put it between the guitar and the Helix input? That’s what I do with my Ernie Ball volume pedal in my regular pedalboard. It should work fine with the Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon268 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I haven't tried that, but maybe it's possible to use the volume pedal as expression pedal (using an insert cable)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyViperDriver Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Has anyone tried that? The article on Strymon says this only works for passive pedals (and the Lehle is an active pedal). https://www.strymon.net/strymon-tech-corner-3-volume-pedal-as-an-expression-pedal/ Anyone tried the Lehle Stereo pedal as an expression pedal?

NuttyViperDriver Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I wrote to Lehle who responded "Due to the active design of the LEHLE VOLUME pedals, none of them are usable as expression pedals." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
