I think he's awesome and exactly the kind of old boy I want to be. Still enthusiastic to try new things and keeping active.

That does look rather yummy.

Sweet!

Bought my B3K, fast payment, straight easy to do business with. Thanks for the straight forward transaction.

After getting a TRS cable I finally got my expression pedal to work as a volume pedal. Thanks to those who helped me troubleshoot this. However i did run into difficulty when trying to set up a preset so that the volume block acted in bypass mode when the expression pedal was engaged as a whammy. It was strange as it was automatically reversed to how I wanted it - the effects(whammy) was on and engaging the foot switch changed it over to the volume block. It took me about an hour to get this the other way around and I still have no idea how I did this?

Pointless.

Cheers - I thought I'd read this somewhere but wasn't 100%.

Woah! That's awesome. Love to hear that in action. Have you got any sound clips or vids?

Sorry if this has already been discussed but is there any way I can set an EQ block and or compressor settings to effect all presets globally = on the HX effects?

Phwoarrrr! It looks amazing! Wanted one of these for a while and it's a great price. Would love to pull the trigger but I'm selling off loads of gear at the moment.

If you do decide to spend more time on the guitar I'd highly recommend you do pick up you bass regularly to keep the skills you have. You'll lose them otherwise.

Hefty price tag for heft. I don't doubt that it sounds awesome though.

^^^^ Will check that link out later as I'm after a travel bass and it looks perfect for the job.

Anything under 8lbs seems light but over 9lbs starts to feel heavy to me.

Funnily enough - I tried swapping out my exp for my Boss volume pedal and got that exact same behavior. I'm taking this as a positive sign that that a TRS cable will resolve the issue.

I've not spotted anything like that. I just plugged in the exp with a mono 1/4 as you normally would and had no issues - until trying to use it a volume pedal.

That's the thing - it works perfectly fine as a general expression pedal. That and the Line 6 tutorial lead me to think that the cable wasn't an issue.

Right, that would explain it then. Will see if I have one to hand. If not I'll pick one up this week and see if it makes a difference - and I think it will! Thanks for your help mate.

Like this?

TRS cable? I'm using a regular mono 1/4" jack to jack. I did have a look to see if this was an issue but found a Line 6 Helix expression pedal tutorial saying this is what you should use? Could it be that then?

Well here's an image from Helix Edit. Sorry I couldn't make it any bigger/clearer. I've added the volume block to a footswitch to copy PJ-Bassist's example. I've had a play around and dipping the pedal simply results in engaging the volume 100%, it effectively controls the bypass, like an on/off volume function. Unfortunately using Edit has not shed any light on the matter and I'm all out of ideas. It's odd, and quite disappointing as I've found the bulk of the unit incredibly intuitive, one you get the hang of it. This however has me stumped.

I'm using a Line 6 EX-1. I've had a search round the net and found plenty of people are using it with no issues.

Thanks again for your help. I've not used the editor so I'll have a crack at that and see if I can match your settings. Need a break right now - heads melted
