Hi there, I’d like to find out how to keep previously turned on stomp effects there when switching between snapshots, but without saving them. In other words, I’m on a clean sound saved without any fx, and I engage a chorus on a stomp but I go to a solo on a different lead snapshot, then when I come back to the clean snapshot my chorus stomp is still engaged until I disengage it, rather than having to engage it again. I’m sure I did this before but can’t find how to do it this time. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for this. How do get to tap preferences? That may well be the problem. I think it may occur when I come out of a sound with a delay on and tails on into a sound that has no delay.

Hi, just wondered how I set helix to preserve stomp fx when changing between them. So for example I kick in a delay on a snapshot that is saved without that effect but if I switch away and come back again the delay is gone. Can I set it so it preserves that stomp without saving it like that?

Hi, I’m currently using a Helix alongside a Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister deluxe 40 as my preamp. So midi out of the helix changes presets on the hk. Guitar goes into helix out into hk via fx loop and returns back so I use the helix fx before and after the hk and cab modelling to foh. Problem is I sometimes get a strange momentary detuning when I switch from one snapshot to another on the helix. Like a tone down and then straight back up again. I’m wondering whether it’s the fx in the helix struggling to kick in and whether there’s anything I can do about it? It usually happens when I go between distorted sounds rather than clean. It’s not the hk and It’s playable but off putting. Any help appreciated. P.

Hi, I’m thinking of buying a Hughes and kettner Grandmeister deluxe 40 as my preamp (and DI from its red box out into an frfr on stage) but I would like to use the Helix fx and run the Helix via cab modelling from the xlr outs into the band PA for front of house. I’d also like to change presets on the GM via midi from Helix presets and snapshots. is this all possible? I envisage plugging the guitar into the GM then fx loop send into a loop on the Helix and return that to the GM. Then place whatever cab modelling in the helix I require after that loop but only on the Xlr outs for foh. Would that work? Obviously I wouldn’t want cab emulation to run back to the GM but I would need all fx both back in the GM and on foh Xlrs. And what about the MIDI side? Can I program the Helix to change presets on the GM from Helix presets and snapshots too? I haven’t committed to buying a GM yet but I’ve played through one and would like to utilise it rather than use the Helix preamps (although I like them) Any help appreciated. Phil.
