    Another option if your amp isn't on the list (I use a Peavey JSX that doesn't have that input available on the amp featured here) is to get yourself a "MINI AMP GIZMO" and a custom cable from RJM electronics. Ron from RJM is awesome. (I think I paid $75 or so for cable and another $125 for the mini amp gizmo). I love the growling preamp tones of my amp so I use the preamps built in but always wanted to be able to color my tones using effects. This set up allows me to change my amp amp channels using snapshots with zero latency. So I can go from a shimmery clean to an overdriven lead channel with all the delays and reverbs from the HELIX immediately and seamlessly. Great video series on the Helix btw Scott. Always concise, detailed and to the point.

    Ive learned so much with your helix videos, just upgraded from a stomp to a helix floor, also you should do audio books with that voice lol

    I'm trying to get this to work with my HX-FX and a Roland JC22, to switch the chorus on and off. In fact it does work, but when the chorus is on, the screen on the HXFX actually indicates it is off and vica versa... Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks

      Mess with the message or the polarity and that should work is my best guess!

      I’m not sure what you mean exactly, but if you have a 1/4” input somewhere on your amp that is used to change the channel on your amp, this should work for you 👍

    Hi Scott, I’m not wanting to change the Chanel with a command, but to do it within a patch. For example a song starts clean and goes dirty, therefore I need to put something in the snapshot “intro clean” and change the channel in the snapshot “dirty”. Do you know how to do this? Thanks man and you are the best in YT

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  2 года назад +1

      Oooh, interesting. I sold all my amps because I only go direct now so I can’t test it… But I would imagine you would be able to do it. It might take some time to figure out, but there should be a way to do it. Sorry, I’m not sure though

    Can the amp channel be changed as part of changing a preset? i.e. I start on a clean preset and then click a preset that adds a phaser pedal and sends a channel switch signal to the amp?

    • @ScottUhlMusic
      @ScottUhlMusic  3 года назад

      Yup, you can assign multiple controls to a single button for sure. If you need more help with that, watch my full video on the Command Center here: ruclips.net/video/sgZeMznMBFA/видео.html

  • @taylorparker8912
    @taylorparker8912 3 года назад

    Can you layer effect over the snapshot? So one button push can be a solo snapshot with delay and reverb? Then another snap shot would be Clean with phaser or etc? Thanks!!

      No, it shouldn’t. Grounding issue? Try hitting the ground lift on the helix. Or plugging into a different outlet

      I believe so, but I’m not positive. That’s odd, I’ve never seen a guitar amp that has an xlr input for it. What amp is it?
