Thanks all! Good info!

For my purposes, I have one particularly quiet string (top E) I've like to adjust, so global levels are fine.

I think there may generally be some confusion over the terms - like I thought "global" on some of the other threads, meant across all 6 strings.

So - now I have the problem of finding a USB interface... :)

It's a real shame that Helix and HD500X don't support the old Workbench.

That means your piezo is dying. For the money of the interface, i suggest to buy the ghost piezo by graphteck pn8000, than adjust your volume of strings. It will revive your guitar, and the sounds you will get are much more alive.

Also you can load this bundle for better and more authentic-realistic tones. https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24065.0

Just an idea, but why not use the dynamic delay, with 50% and a lot of repeats (this way you can have louder repeats) and when you play it is reduced or cut off.

I got my HX Effects unit to replace an MPX1 that was starting to give me problems as well as my phaser and B9 organ machine and so far have been able to replace the 1st 2 with patches however the organ/keyboard patches are still wanting. Any help would be appreciated.

Helix. You won't regret it.

Hi, was this ever resolved? I have the same thing happening with my standard. I've only just bought it. 

Thanks

Nope. I don't believe it will. It is a 9 years guitar, and somewhere near we are waiting for the new variax.

Used anything is a gamble. Doesn't much matter what it is...instruments, cars, underwear...;)

 

So unless you get to test drive it first, buying anything second hand is an act of faith.

I prefer the used women's underwear tbh. Since i cant test drive her, i have faith it is not washed...

Interesting. If so, then their direction is not toward a new Helix (as I wrongly predicted by last Holiday Season). So then what "other" direction are they pointed I wonder?  A new Variax? Vetta-3 perhaps?

A new variax!!!! A new variax!!!

@bsd512 Thanks very much for the info. I've been a Helix owner for a few years now, and I get good tones, but I've been avoiding playing around much with cabs, and with the stock cab settings (esp. mic choice, etc.) Given your experience bringing your IR knowledge to the stock cabs, would you be willing to share any guidelines/principles you've discovered? Even a few general pointers would be awesome, like mixing cabs with different mics, maybe a handful of mics to start with (and applications), etc. Apologies for the vague question, and for not having looked around the forum much. Either way, thanks again!

As well as read some of these https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/helix-stock-cabs-ideas.2038915/

You can get my presets on the

IMO... A backup situation is not about getting the exact same tones or quality of tones, it's about surviving a gig relatively unscathed :) At the cost of a Stomp... buying one for strictly backup purposes would be a waste of money (for this relatively poor musician) UNLESS I had another practical use for the item. 

 

If I was on a tour or even a gig where second best isn't good enough - I would simply carry a second Helix and do away with any compromise, whether it's a rental or purchased.

 

 

I don't have this need at all... most of my patches in my HD never have an EQ in them. I'll admit... it's not as nice as the Helix, but (for me) it's good enough to survive a gig or two, especially considering I used to gig with one all the time before buying the Helix :) 

Matter of fact, hd had the ÷13 sounding better than the helix amp. Don't know if it was less accurate, but was more pleasant. Anyway, the minimum imo eq w that was needed, was the mid focus eq after the amp, to trim the low and high, and the parametric  to trim the 3.7khz

Agree on stomp. Less resourses for sure, but no loss of sound quality. Pod hd can get you near, but you will need at least 3 to 4 eq, so you will have even less fx to place on chain.

Sounds great!!!

Since you are a youtuber, and a great guitarist, your opinion will matter for me!

People mentioned this but it is not clear if I can do this without having any of them. Can I just save HX Stomp presets as Helix presets without connecting a Helix or using Native?

Αs far as i got it yes. This is the core line 6 fighting about. All can be read by all, though still the dsp will be problem on stomp, if it loads a bigger than 6 blocks preset.

Recreated the chorale reverb of strymon big sky, preset named voices.

I'm hoping to be able to make them available for the Floor and HX Effects as well. Just need to figure out how :)

Will be possible on 2.8

Yes and no. You have to combine a delay with the legacy reverb named <<particle verb>> and set condition to hazard.

Not proud about it, but for me no woman at all at the moment :P

Worth the money, your guitar will get life.

Changed the neck asap, but kept the locking tuners for the new neck. Changed pickups asap, since the tyler were lifeless. Changed the pickguard colour, to red turtle, and the knobs to the original strato. Guitar looks and play great.

The tremolo has to be inserted and twisted clockwise. But generaly, the tremolo is bad.

Did anyone find any different pickguards for the Standard? I ended up using modeling paint from Hobby Lobby and did a green sparkle burst.

Awesome man!!! Just my idea, but a silver cover on the neck pickup and 2 black knobs would set it appart!

Would love to try it. Can you upload it?

Thank you!!!
