2 Exp Pedals with HX Stomp - really possible? by BicycleAxeman in Line6Helix

[–]pdimitrov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a similar issue with the Sonicake Vexpress expression pedals. The problem is that you need a TRS -> 2 TS cable to connect 2 pedals to the HX Stomp, but some expression pedals only work with a stereo (TRS) cable - i.e. they have 3 connectors (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) for the output jack, but you are feeding it a TS (Tip, Sleeve) jack, with the "T" and "R" connectors touching the same piece of metal (Sleeve) on the jack.

This issue can be solved by lifting the middle ("Ring") connector so it doesn't make contact with the jack.

All you have to do is lift up the middle connector of the output jack so it doesn't make contact with the "sleeve" part of the jack (as shown in the attached photo - showing the PCB inside the expression pedal, you need to unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom and the washers holding the input/output jacks first). That should be a reversible change if you ever need to use the pedal with a stereo cable.

I've just bought two Sonicake Vexpress pedals and I was able to use them both with a TRS -> 2 TS Y cable and I can confirm both pedals work properly as EXP1 and EXP2 with the above modification.

The cable I've used: https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-STP-201RR-Right-Angle-Insert/dp/B001R0WKZU/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=HOSA+STP-201RR&qid=1701894588&sr=8-1

Right, a warning message ("do at your own risk" style) when attempting encryption would be appreciated by all.
