Wah block in HX stomp XL changes polarity by switching snapshots.

HX stomp XL+ Expression pedal Boss EV-30:

 

Snapshot 1: Wah block heel down: Wah off. Toe down from 5% upwards: Wah on.

Snapshot 2: Wah block isn’t needed (Mix 0% via snapshot)

When I switch back from snapshot 2 to snapshot 1, the Wah is switched on in heel down position.

How can I fix this.

You probably have the wah block assigned to snapshots and also control if it's bypassed by using the percentage.  Having 2 of these will create a conflict.  Remove the snapshot bypass.  Leave the percentage-based engagement.  Now your wah will always be engaged when after 5 percent, and disengaged when lower than 5 percent.

 

If wah is not needed in one of the snapshots, that's easy:  Take the "mix" parameter of the wah and assign it to snapshots.  Simply go to the snapshot in question, and set the mix to 0% in that snapshot only.  Now the wah can turn on, but you will not hear it, effectively bypassing it.  When a block is mixed at 0%, it's the same thing as if it were bypassed.  

 

This is how I use the wah, or any other block I need to bypass/unbypass with the wah in certain snapshots only.  Works consistently and reliably.  I have this one crazy preset where one EXP2 controls multiple different things in each of the snapshots, not just wah, but gain/feedbacker/extra delay/synthesizer/vibrato.... 

 

There are also a bunch of toggle settings for bypass behavior, I never trust it (toe down, etc), as I saw some serious problems when it was first introduced.  I just use the "toggle" behavior without any issues at all.
