Helix wah, switchless

PolarityMan

Does anyone know if its possible to amke  the helix wah switchless. Ie/  when  you move the pedal from the fully back position it activates at the bottom of the wah sweep.

With Boss units you could do this by configuring the controller curve but Im not sure if its possible on a helix.

Dunno, but I'd like that.

And internal assignable LFOs and envelope control. That'd add huge flexibility.

It is possible with a bit of jiggery pokery....

Yes you can, I have mine set up like this. There are a million Youtube videos for how to do this, along with forum posts. Just go into the wah block, bypass assign and set the position at which you want it to turn off, how long you want it to wait before it turns off in ms.

If anyone knows how to make it switchless when the expression pedal is plugged into a Morningstar mc6 I’d love to be told how to do it

Wouldn't it be the same but assigning to the appropriate Midi controller instead of the on board expression pedal?

Maybe but I can seem to get it to work properly, currently I use a physical switch to turn on the wah and have the expression pedal plugged into the mc6, if I remember rightly, when I tried to get it to auto engage via the mc6 it did weird stuff like only working from 50% onwards. I might just go back to plugging the expression pedal straight back into the Helix and sacrifice my 2 button patch up and down switch.

Sporky

Ah.

I could dig out my Source Audio Reflex and see if I can get that doing it via MIDI.
