musicmanmu 0 Posted February 24, 2019 Hi all - just got my HX effects this week. I've figured out how to change channels on my EVH 5150iii 50 watt head using presets, but as others have indicated there is a slight lag when doing so. I've read much about how doing this via snapshots alleviates the lag issue - but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to make the amp change channels in snapshot mode. I'm using HX Editor (which is super convenient!), and I just can't figure it out. I don't know much about MIDI, so that doesn't help. I have gone into Command Center on the HX editor, but from there I don't know how to set the parameters. I presume I setting it to MIDI/PC for one of the instant commands? But beyond that, I don't know what do do with MIIDI Channel, CC, value...I've tried various things to no avail. I am also putting the amp in learn mode, but just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! I wanted the HX Effects to control channel changes so I could get rid of the gigantic EVH footswtich! A secondary question - is there a way to assign one stomp switch within a preset to change amp channels? Thanks very much! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
musicmanmu 0 Posted February 25, 2019 Finally figured this out, but ended up just adding channel changes to stomp mode instead of snapshots. This thing has a huge learning curve! But overall I'm digging it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boban_vasileski 0 Posted September 13, 2020 So you can't change amp channels in snapshot mode? I have the same combination like you, evh 5150III and hx stomp, and now I have the same question... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is how I was able to set up snapshots to control the 5150 III with my Helix Floor. I thought I saw that it was coming in the 3.0 release but don't quote me on that. You can set it up with presets but that is all right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howarddavidp 2 Posted March 21, 2021 I just got both of these, the 50 watt combo and the HX Effects. Any update on how to do this? Do we use MIDI, because the amp's footswitch only uses a TS (and not a TRS) cable yet it has 4 switches. Thanks, David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felipousis 2 Posted April 12, 2021 It works fine, check the settings to use MIDI Program Change in the HX and the set the EVH to learning mode, and program accordingly. Check this guide. http://support.evhgear.com/schematics/MIDI Programming EVH® 5150III 50W Series.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
