The_HairyDangler Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hey, while setting up and using the Helix and powercab together, I’ve been tweaking everything to get the powercab to hang out in the “sweetspot” yellow zone for best tones. It seems like any sort of lowering of either guitar volume knobs or helix volumes immediately drops it out of the goodzone and into solid green. I feel like the powercab would benefit from an external volume pedal. Like a final volume adjuster, that wouldn’t effect how much signal input the powercab is being getting. Also, being lazy as i am, it sounds way better to just step on an expression pedal rather than walk across the room to turn the knob on the powercab! Does anyone think the ability may happen to be added in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That's already available via MIDI. IIRC, it's CC#7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_HairyDangler Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice! I’ve never messed with anything midi. how is it done and what’s needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 In Command Center, set the expression pedal you want to use to send CC#7 . Leave the min/max values at 0/127. Leave the MIDI Channel set to BASE. Connect the Helix MIDI OUT to the Powercab MIDI IN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlagos144 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 does this work with the AES EBU cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 No. MIDI over 5-pin or USB (thru computer) only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
