    It'd be great if you could do a video on cleaning or out right replacing the footswitches.
    I can't replace my Helix with a new one any more but 2 of the footswitches are bugging out and the tap tempo switch is starting to show signs of its demise so I would really appreciate it if I could see a video on it.
    Thank you very much.

    Can anyone tell if the power supply has a fuse?
    There was a short circuit on stage.

    The problem I’m having is the preset button - it scrolls left and right but pushing it does nothing. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

      There are 4 wires mentioned in this video. One of them does just that. It seems the signal when pushing down. Try the controls test in this video. It will show you in red what does not work.

    Do you know how to fix the plastic part of the scribble strip. The lcd looks fine but the plastic over it is bent in. Im thinking of trying to take the top half of the chassis off and bend the plastic back into place. Dont know how to do that tho

    Hi, I have a helix floor with this problem: it loses the input signal, the signal goes in fits and starts, the symbol on the input display flashes red, then it starts working again for a while, sometimes it works for hours and then repeats the problem. Lately it also crashes, meaning the large display turns off and all the small displays start flashing. What could it be? I was thinking about the power supply, thanks for any response

      Sounds like a bug crash. What version? Maybe back date the version.

    Hi thanks for the video..all the upper switch foot FS 1 To FS 6 on my helix floor don't work.
    Sometimes when I turn them on they work and switch for about 5 minutes but after that they don't switch ... Only with the preset knob... Can you please help me?

    • @GlenHyden

      Run the test shown in the video. If it passes fs1 - 6 then it's software. If it fails then it goes back to line6.
