I have read on the Helix site that some are using their Helix to Control The Axe 3. I was looking at the implementation on the Helix and the Axe and it will work well together. The Helix will change presets,scenes, tap tempo, and turn stomps on and off. The Helix manual gives you everything but the midi info for the stomps to turn off and on. The presets and scenes are easy but it will a pain to go to each effect and put in the location of each effect. The Helix has several layouts and I selected the 8 scene, bank up, bank down, mode, and tap layout. Once you punch in all the midi info from the Helix manual, you are good to go. The mode switch puts the unit into stomp mode, allowing you to turn stomps on and off. Note that the midi info for the stomps is not in the manual. This will be the pain part of it. If I can't get the info from Line 6, I can put CC numbers consecutive in the Axe, then load up every effect that I want to control by foot controller. Then go to the Helix stomp mode and load up all the effects there, send a Midi cable to the Helix and go effect one by one until I see what the control number are for each. I don't have time until next week sometime, but I will be on a mission. If I can get the stomps CC numbers worked out on the stomps, that is all I need. You can actually use the two units together and can actually have 4 amps at one time. Just another thought.
