jwoertz Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 On my Helix, I'm having this weird issue. I only use the expression pedal for volume, and I set that volume to EXP1 instead of the default EXP2. So I save my presets and all is good for a while, but then the volume pedal stops working even though the volume block is enabled and pointing to EXP1. Has anyone ever seen this before and how do I fix it for good? It's OK here at home but on a gig (Sunday morning) I can't have this happen. Thanks!

rd2rk Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 No idea why that would happen, but...silly question...why not just leave it at the default? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are aware, the Helix sets the volume block to 'EXP 2' by default. My suggestion is that as a best practice, you leave it at the default unless you have an incredibly compelling reason not to use that setting. Fighting it is prone to user error and It seems to often lead to problems with assignments. It also means you can't go with the default assignment to 'EXP 1' for example when you add a Wah block. Why put yourself through those gyrations? It is also worth checking to make sure your global settings --> 'EXP Pedals' --> 'EXP 1/2/3 Pedal Position' is set correctly to your preferred behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check EXP behaviors in the settings, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
