Controlling ext amp channels with snapshots

[kerryhall1]

I'm using two heads with the seven cable method.

 

I'm using snapshots for everything, presets are way too slow and don't keep the reverb and delay tails.

 

I have 8 snapshots set up and ready to use.

 

For a few snapshots, I need ext amp 1&2 to be off.

 

For the other snapshots, I need ext amp 1&2 to be on.

 

I set up the instant command in the control center to trigger ext amp 1&2 for all the snapshots I want, then I saved the preset.

 

Then I went to all the snapshot I wanted to have ext amp 1&2 to be off, and removed that instant command.

 

However, this removed the instant command from all snapshots!

 

How do I have some snapshots using "ext amp 1&2" and other snapshots "neither"?

 

This is a dealbreaker for me. If the Helix can't do this, sadly I'll have to return it.

 

I *must* be able to control my amp head channels with snapshots, on both heads.

I'm guessing the answer here is no....

 

All that is needed is a very simple firmware update, one that allows four, instead of three options here.:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 1&2

4. neither

I missed this thread somehow. Do you have the EXT AMP commands assigned to footswitches as well? They don’t work as Instant Commands unless you have the assigned to footswitches as well. What you’re talking about should be doable, though.

My footswitches are the 8 snapshots I'm using for the preset.

 

I need to set EXT AMP to footswitches? Let me try that!

 

Thank you!

Did this work?  I'm having the same issue.
