TheoHolsheimer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 What Expression Pedal works with Line6 HX Effects? I like to work with effects from 0% till 100% without any isues The Line6 EX-1 ? The Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal doesn’t do the job apparently, goes to 60%, no matter what I do. Never had problems with the classic Line6 Delay Pedal with the same Roland EV-5 Pedal is there a bug in the Line6 HX Effects about the expressionpedal topic? Seems there are more people to suffer with this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrahi Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is the one I recommend. It's sturdy, built like a tank, and has a dual switch. I love the thing. Well, as much as you can love a pedal. It's kind of a head scratcher that other pedals suffer. Line 6 doesn't indicate any special pedal is needed at all which is frustrating. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/mission-engineering-helix-rack-expression-pedal-black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledvedder5150 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 You'd be better off getting this one, https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EP-1--mission-engineering-inc-ep-1-expression-pedal-black. The HX Effects can't use the footswitch on the SP-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledvedder5150 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Nope. HX Effects doesn't support the switch.... Yet. I've heard that it will be in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooloudtoobad Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Helix uses TS cable Not TRS cable............ at 10K ohms........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzammert Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sorry again. Does the Mission Engineering SP1-L6H (link) work with the Line 6 HX Effects with firmware 2.82? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriziodalisera Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi, I have read somewhere that with the latest 2.82 firmware we can now use every pedal (volume or expression) connecting a standard mono TS cable. Is it true? I also have watched some videos where someone used nektar and m audio expression pedals with success, but they have TRS connectors! I am a bit confused. Please help! P.S. I know that the mission engineering works, but I would prefer buying a mid priced (made of metal, not plastic) pedal, not a super expensive one!

I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I used a Line 6 ex1 before, which was ok, but was fairly weak and brittle. The sweep always seemed a bit odd also. But the dunlop's just right.

If it was Line6 and you are going to get a Mission pedal wouldn't it be better to futureproof yourself and get the one kilrahi suggested with the switch in the event that either the HX Effects supports it in the future or if you decide to get a Helix?

caledoneus Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 M-Audio makes one that is like 30 bucks and works just fine with it if you are looking for an affordable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mincer Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 So no news if the switch on the more expensive Mission pedal’s switch can be used? So far, the web page description doesn’t mention the HX Effects. Don’t want to pay for features I can’t use. I have used both the Dunlop expression pedal and the 25k Ernie Ball Jr. Both do something weird with the taper...the action is in just a small area of the sweep. I am on my 3rd Line 6 EX1, which gets expensive to replace a plastic pedal. Is the other Mission pedal (without the switch) the only sure thing? Why aren’t these things universal?

Robh55 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This has to be one of the biggest ordeals with HX Effects and Line6 in general. I have an EP1-L6H on the way and bound & determined to utilize the foot switch to engage whatever I assign it to (wah most likely). Can anyone out there confirm it’s possible? Thanks in advance!!

chacharlafuzz Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Good morning all, I use the Morley Volume Plus pro series volume pedal (PVO +), all you have to do is connect the TS cable between the Out and the exp input of your HX, as well as activate the "mini volume" switch and turn on the sound full knob (4h). You must also reverse the polarity in the "control setting" panel. Remember to make the HX connections off and on afterwards. I think the manipulation is possible with other volume pedals.

Alumaman Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I have plugged in my old Ernie Ball and newer Ernie Ball VP jr with JHS mod (requires 9v). They both worked fine with no tweaking required. 1/4" out from the pedal to #2 expression jack. (they would not work in #1 exp jack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorBobski Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Posted elsewhere but I've managed to get the Boss FV-30H to work with my HX effects. TS to TS cable in output but you need a dummy jack in the input. I use a headphone adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCrocky Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 So FYI, I just found out today you can order the Mission Ep-1-L6 from the Mission Engineering site with a Spring Load option. This means when you take your foot off, a spring will return the pedal to heel position. Then in Bypass assign for your wah/effect, you can turn the wah off when the pedal is in heel position, on otherwise. Now you've got the Morley Bad Horsey type wah where you turn it on just by pushing the pedal, and when you take your foot off the spring will put the pedal into heel position, turning it off. No having to use a toe switch! This is for Helix, not sure if the feature is available in HX Effects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eswart Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Cheap and light Nektar NX-P works with HX-Effects. It has a built-in TRS-cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterb33 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I too have the Morley Volume Plus Pro Series but cannot get it to work correctly (it's plugged into EXT 2). At first, the position was reversed even after I changed the setting to "Invert", but somehow that's fixed now. Currently, even when I have the heel down, the Position monitor will kick up to about 40% after a few seconds, even after I manually turn down the Position to 0%. And when I'm using the pedal, putting weight on the heel will add more sound than just leaving it heel down. It seems very glitchy, and I have never had issue with the pedal before connecting it to HX Effects. Activating the volume switch has not helped, as it did for @chacharlafuzz. But maybe I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
