radatats Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Doing some routine maintenance tonight and I couldn't find any procedure to recalibrate my second expression pedal. Is there a way to do it? Is there even a need to do it? By the way, when recording a clip tonight Studio One crashed and it corrupted my firmware. I had to reflash and Monkey wanted to update to 2.2 so i said OK but it died in the middle of the update and the POD was stuck with the dreaded UPDATE FIRMWARE message even after a restart. Monkey still saw it though so I rolled back to 2.1 and it took. I then retried 2.2 and it worked good this time. Did a Global reset and calibrated the pedal. That's when I noticed there is no procedure to recalibrate the second one. Had to tighten the pedal too, lucky I had my own Allen wrenches 'cause God knows where the Line 6 one is...

boyce89976 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully, someone knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The second expression pedal doesn't calibrate as far as I remember reading. The EX-1, I think it's called, uses a pot and the pod just looks for that value, whatever it is. There were some threads about this long ago. Here's 1 thread. http://line6.com/support/topic/3692-hd500x-and-ex-1/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As I recall, there is no way to calibrate. I think it's because it's based on the ohmage of the pedal which is why you need to get a pedal with the right ohm parameters. Specifically a pedal with a 10Kohm potentiometer. The pedal on the HD is optical based on the brightness of the led so it wold need some kind of calibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 so it can't be calibrated but it can be modified to work a little better. I may try that as it seems to be quite clunky in its operation. Hardly linear, jerky, all on or all off, and not a full sweep. Usable, but if it can be made better I may try... thanks everyone...
