rwinking Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I know I can set a Helix footswitch to toggle between two effects but can it do three? What I am wanting is to do effect 1/effect 2/ off. I got the idea from my old iStomp by Digitech called the Impossible Pedal from Arian Ballew. What you do on it is hit the pedal once and it shifts your pitch to whatever you want, hit it again and you are at normal pitch and then the third time you hit it it switches to yet another pitch. Solos can get really outside and weird using this. I plugged the pedal into the FX loop and I can only get one pitch as the pedal is basically on all of the time and I switch it in and out.. I then had the idea of setting up two whammy FX on the Helix, one higher and one lower but then I run into the issue of how to get it turned off the third time I hit the FS. Any ideas out there?

rd2rk Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If you like, you can have 3 ON 3 OFF, or the same three OFF and the others ON, but you only get two combinations. It's either/or so, no. BUT....THAT'S what SNAPSHOTS are for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwinking Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have not had a need for the snapshot feature yet but I started checking it out last night and you are right.....that seems like the way to go. Hopefully the learning curve is not too steep. Thanks lot. PS Can the snapshots do MIDI changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Once you wrap your head around snapshots you will find they are intuitive and relatively simple. Well worth the effort of learning. 35 minutes ago, rwinking said: PS Can the snapshots do MIDI changes? Short answer, yes! Command center can be used to send a limited amount of midi commands at the preset change and the snapshot change. You can also assign a single midi command to a stomp switch.... IIRC.
