Ext Amp
Knob Parameter Description
2
Select
Determines the Ext Amp connection [1 (Tip-to-sleeve), 2
(Ring-to-sleeve), or both] for switching an external amp's
channel, reverb, or other functions.
IMPORTANT!ConnectEXTAMP1/2onlytoampliersthatutilize"short-
to-sleeve" footswitch inputs. Connecting to any other sort of input could
cause permanent damage to both your amp and Helix! If you're not sure if
your amp has short-to-sleeve inputs, contact the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT! The Helix device's ability to control external amp channel
and/or reverb switching has been tested with many popular amps and
heads. Unfortunately this does not guarantee compatibility with all prod-
ucts. Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in
the guitar amp used, the EXT Amp function may not operate as expected.
NOTE: When an Ext Amp command is assigned to Instant 1-6, the connec-
tion determined by Knob 2 (Select) is made when the preset is loaded. When
an Ext Amp command is assigned to a footswitch, the footswitch's current
state (dim or lit) determines whether or not the External Amp connection is
made when the preset is loaded; when dim, no connection is made; when lit,
the connection determined by Knob 2 (Select) is made. Subsequent presses
ofthefootswitchtoggletheconnectionon(LEDlit)ando(LEDdark).
CV (Control Voltage) Out
Knob Parameter Description
2
CV Value
[CV Min
Val]
Sets the CV value (1-100) appearing at the Helix device's
CV/Expression jack. For EXP 1-3 and Variax Volume/Tone
Knob, sets the minimum CV value controlled by the pedal
or knob.

Val]
For EXP 1-3 and Variax Volume/Tone Knob, sets the maxi-
mum CV value controlled by the pedal or knob.
CV (Control Voltage) Toggle
Knob Parameter Description
2
Dim Value
Sets the CV value (0-100) when the footswitch ring is dim.
For Footswitches 7 (MODE) and 12 (TAP), appears as "Initial
Val."
3
Lit Value
Sets the CV value (0-100) when the footswitch ring is lit. For
Footswitches 7 (MODE) and 12 (TAP), appears as "Toggle
Val."
NOTE: For CV Toggle commands, one of two CV values appears at the CV/
Expression output, automatically transmitted upon preset recall, determined
by the footswitch's state (dim or lit) when the preset was saved. Subsequent
presses of the footswitch toggle between the two states' CV values—Knob
4 (Dim Value) and Knob 5 (Lit Value).
