fretmeister Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Re the vol pedal. I don’t use a vol pedal at all but you might be able to do what you want in Snapshots rather than with patch changes. Snapshots have a keep or reject changes option. Never tried it for the vol pedal though. Worth a try. Red, are you on Facebook? The big L6 group is really useful. Almost 12,000 members now. Lots of weird routing nerds!

fretmeister Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Back row pedal height issue... https://barefootbuttons.com/ Some guys are using these. You do lose the capacitive effect but that’s not really a gig issue. Or you can be clever and stick a tiny bit of copper tape to the inside and run it to the top of the barefoot button. Then the capacitive element works again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If you’re in UK try this link for Barefoot buttons. I have bought from them with great service and you avoid the extortionate shipping costs. https://thorpyfx.com/collections/barefoot-buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll the way mine is working at the moment if I save the patch with the volume set to 0 then that’s how it will be when I recall that program.

Hmm. So what would be the ideal? Read the current pedal position I presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be that difficult to design & 3D print one with a conductive element built into it. I’ll have a look at it when I get a spare moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intime-nick Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Quick 3D printed prototype with some magnets I had knocking around. Needs a bit of resizing but works OK. will print one in a translucent material next so the colour ring is visible 20180321_140534.mp4 Edited March 21, 2018 by intime-nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 He is a bit of a tool. And he’s now selling vinyl covers too. Make it look wooden, or carbon etc. I wonder if he has a real job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The thing I CANNOT stand with the Helix is so called 'professionals' just lobbing bits together for patches and trying to make a living from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It's the same in the Kemper world too. Everybody trying to flog profiles... alot of them absolutely dire... and with no evidence of them actually being their own profiles, or even profiles of what they are reputably meant to be profiles of. The good thing about the Kemper though, is that there are the established folk out there that have the supporting evidence and great sounding profiles that back up their business. MBritt is probably top of the class for that... and in this country, theampfactory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intime-nick Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I hope this is allowed outside of the buy/sell forums (if not, please let me know) but following a bit of interest I'm putting an order together for a batch of Helix floor/LT protector screen assemblies. If anyone wants one, they are £20 incl. UK postage - either PM me or email : [email protected] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Used the Helix and RCF745 for my first gig on Friday. And it all went very well. I set up the RCF in a wedge configuration aiming across the front of the stage, and got a great on-stage mix which everyone could hear without needing to put any bass in the foldback. The only thing that I need to address was that I was using the XLR outputs on the Helix to drive the RCF from the left output and as a DI to the FoH from the right. However that mean that the level of both outputs was dependent on the Helix master volume control, which obviously isn't ideal when sending a signal to the PA. Therefore is there any way of only having one output dependent upon the position of the master volume control and the other output at a pre-set global volume to send to the PA and won't change if I need to change the volume of the bass on-stage?

Barring some crazy routing to do with the panning left and right, the xlrs are linked together as are the 1/4". I've been using the xlr (line level, volume control) to the cabs and the 1/4" (mic level, no volume control) to a Radial SB2 and then to the pa. Like you, I found that I needed two distinct XLR sends (one for me, one for foh) and the stereo pair wasn't giving me that. As an aside, if it's not our board or our soundman (ok, the drummer's dad) I would be worried that there's phantom power being sent from foh to the helix, which the internal xlrs apparently don't cope well with. DI box solved both problems and I already had it so it was 'free'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
