Mission Helix Expression Pedal
By default, the HX Stomp XL EXP 1/2 | FS7/8 jack is set
up to accommodate the Mission Helix expression pedal,
connected via an optional Y cable (sometimes called a
TRS insert cable). The main advantage of this setup is
that pressing the integrated toe switch will not only toggle
the pedal’s function between EXP 1 (Wah/Pitch Wham/
PolyWham/PolyBass Wham) and EXP 2 (Volume Pedal/
Pan), but it will also toggle the appropriate blocks on and
o.
