kickinchicken Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I've attached my Mission EP1-L6 to the HX Effects and I think I've set up the routing appropriately. I'm getting volume control, but it's a very sharp increase in volume and then not much. How do I set it up so that the sweep gets used more effectively? Here's a photo of my setup, with where I think the volume is. Even when the Position is set to Curve, it's a very sharp initial increase.

codamedia Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Go into the Volume Block on the HX Effect and set the CURVE to "Logarithmic".... which has a much smoother audio curve than "LINEAR" does. I wish they would give us more control over the volume curve, but having "log" as an option is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickinchicken Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thanks @codamediaI tried that but it's still not super smooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Of all the things Helix has gotten right, the volume pedal is one they got wrong. I have a floor unit and have the same issue. It's not terrible with the logarithmic option but it's still not smooth, or at least not what I expect. What's weird is I've been a Line 6 boy for awhile and this unit, that kicks all of their other units a**, does this worse than any of the others. Never had a complaint with their previous units. Volume/Expresion pedal was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... it's not great, but I remember the times when "LINEAR" was our only option on Line 6 gear. YIKES! I can get by with the LOG curve for basic stuff on guitar, I also play pedal steel.... I use a traditional VP for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mission is still an expression pedal... and is mostly subject to the curves set in the software. If you have a volume pedal you like the curve of... place it in the loop of the HX Effects, or anywhere in your chain that works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachz Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 On my stomp xl I set my vol pedal min max to -10 and 0 in the controller for the output and use the tap tempo to mute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
