Switch channels on PRS Archon 100 with Line 6 Helix

[Ezra]

Hello everyone,

Sometimes while playing a set with my band I have situations in which I have to change channels on my amp as well as change effects. Can someone tell me if it's possible to change amplifier channels with another external device (in my case a Line 6 Helix)?

I would love to change channels en effects with the touch of only one button in order to be right on time during playing the music!

With kind regards,

Ezra Soerioroseno

I guess it depends on what the Helix can do. Also, I think the Archon has a special plug for that.

If there is a TRS switching port on the Helix that has latching relays, you can use this:

I use the G System to control my Archon.

The built in 2 function footswitch control on the Helix uses a TRS jack, but I don't know if it exactly matches the control switching the Archon uses. I use my Helix to switch 3 functions on my Mesa MKV using a Voodoo Labs Control Switcher (the Helix sends midi CC messages), and it has made life much easier. I switch channels, effects, signal routing and mag/piezo pickups from my 2 piezo PRS all using the snapshot function of the Helix. It takes preparation, but it's well worth it. I suspect at worst case you might have to use a device like elvis suggested or the Control Switcher as a go-between.

Email or call btpa-they'll tell you if it will work. They're pretty great, and quick. I've bought a bunch from them. Works great with my es-8.
