boynigel Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Is anyone using their Helix to change channels on their Orange amps? I’m considering getting either their Super Crush 100 or the Crush Pro 120, and I’d hate to lose the ability to change channels due to, from the manual: “IMPORTANT! Connect EXT AMP 1/2 only to amplifiers that utilize “short-to-sleeve” footswitch inputs. Connecting to any other sort of input could cause permanent damage to both your amp and Helix LT! If you’re not sure if your amp has short-to-sleeve inputs, contact the manufacturer.” I’ve reached out to Orange but thought I might get an answer quicker here.

C4TH Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I used to use my HX Effects to change the channels on my Rockerverb MKii and MKiii 50 watters, no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious- what made you part way w/your Rockerverbs? 10 years ago, a MKii 50W was my main gigging amp for about 3 years. No real complaints other than the Reverb going from 0-100 by barely moving its knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm now playing mainly in a cover band, it wasn't quite versatile enough to cover the ground I needed it too. I love the sound of them, but they very much have their own sound, if you know what I mean. Great amps, though. They look great as well. Yeah, that reverb was pretty mad. They improved the reverb on their MKiii amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a low hum when i switch to the clean channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
