mtnman82 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I have EXP1 set up as a volume pedal after amp & cab blocks. I have EXP1 set to 'Global' in global settings - I want volume to remain where the pedal is set when I switch channels. I recently built a new bank of patches by copying from existing patches in the same setlist folder and then making adjustments to the amp model. After making adjustments and saving the one preset I adjusted, I found that when I switched channels the volume would change - i.e. not remain where the pedal was set. WEIRDNSS: the volume would stay where the pedal was set on some presets, but then change volume when I switched to others. FURTHER WEIRDNESS: if I hit the same channel switch twice, *sometimes, not consistently* the volume would first be not where the pedal was set (say 100%) then hit the same channel switch again and the volume would change to where the pedal was set. Is there a setting in a menu somewhere I'm missing that might be causing this? Or something else I'm missing or might try to 'reset' Helix if it's in a weird state? PS - First time using the Helix for a gig this weekend (been using tube amp up until now), hope to get this sorted out before ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, As you are aware the Manual states:- If you want a Volume Pedal or Wah to maintain its position when switching presets, set this to “Global.” First rule of Helix - when weird and/or unexpected stuff happens - perform a factory reset. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Is your EXP 1 selected in all snapshots? Or are there snapshots where it switches to EXP 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnman82 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Should add I am running a Helix Rack with the Helix Control and Line 6/Mission expression pedal. Don't think t makes a difference but just in case... datacommando - yep, exp1 set to Global. Thank you for the reply, will try resetting. theElevators - yes EXP1 is selected in all presets (I run in preset/stomp mode on the footswitches). Am not using EXP2/3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Are you running a recent firmware version? First do back up your helix, reset to factory, restore from backup. Try re-saving every preset. Add a block, save. Remove a block, save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
