External Pedal - Ernie Ball Jnr Volume Pedal compatibility

I've been using my Ernie Ball Jnr Volume pedal (passive) as an external expression pedal with my Helix for years. Now I've switched to the Stadium XL I found it intermittently worked until the more recent 1.2.1 firmware update, and now it doesn't work at all. For that reason, I believe the issue is connected to firmware, so I'm hoping there will be an fix in an upcoming version?

To confirm the pedal isn't at fault, I took my gear into the guitar shop I bought it from and confirmed it with their Stadium. Both boards work with other pedals (e.g. the Dunlop DVP pedals).

I don't believe that they are compatible with the Stadium as they were with the Helix, unfortunately. Supposedly, if you solder a 10k ohm resistor across the output and ground lugs of the pot, you can make it compatible.  I'm going to try that experiment this weekend.

 

Good luck!

Good news!  Soldering the resistor across the two lugs of the OUT jack works perfectly!  Just for reference: its a metal film fixed resistor, 10K ohm resistance, 1/2 W power rating.  Very simple job.

Good luck!
