I appreciate the response. Other than checking if the IR is Normalized, am I on the right path in my acoustic setup?

Hey guys, A while ago I bought an Acoustic IR from Selah Sounds. I dig it, sounds great with my Martin, but.... It's sooo low! My flow is this: Compressor - Studio Tube Pre (mic sensitivity) - Acoustic IR - Parametric EQ - Reverb I have the preamp level cranked to 10, Gain 6 IR is cranked from -18db to 0 I just wanted to be sure that so far this is "normal"? I added a gain block, after the IR, to test and cranked it to +10 which makes the volume better, but wasn't sure if I'm approaching this correctly. Any thoughts?

I appreciate the responses, I'll give them a try and see if they fit what I need. Thanks guys!!

Hey guys, need help with setting delay to do a specific repeat. The song is 120bpm I need a setting that hits and then repeats in “1 and” “2 and” “3 and”… Meaning if I pick on 1, I’d like to hear the delay on “1 and”. So far I can only get it to hit back in 2..3..4 i hope my explanation makes sense. It’s driving me nuts lol.

For my preset I like being able to send either an even split to 2 parallel delays, or delays in series. That was the purpose for me wanting to use A/B split. What threw me off was the volume change which I resolved by increasing the merge block by +3db. I only do this when I am splitting only to path A. There is no volume issue when doing an even split. I use my expression pedal strictly for volume. Not a fan of how hard I need to click to get it to switch to EXP 2. I'm still deciding if I want to get a separate expression pedal for WAH or other sweep adjustments. Thanks guys for providing feedback!! Still have much to learn!

Cool, will check it out! Thanks man!

I just came across this while tweaking my presets after a live event. I like the idea of notes whether it be a separate screen or in HX edit. I like to scribble what worked, what didn't, what to change, what to try, what guitar I used...

Can someone help confirm if the volume difference is what happens when choosing A/B split vs Y split?

So I just gave it a try, I have a copy of my patch so that I can see the difference back and forth. One patch uses the Y split, the other one now has the A/B split. I found that the new A/B patch I created is much softer that the Y patch. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing or right/wrong. Any thoughts?

Ahhh OK, I will give that a try. I remember messing around with that at one point to split amps but somehow confused myself and got frustrated. I thought there was a change in volume, but I could be wrong.

Hey guys! Sorry if this was covered but I need some help with signal path. After my amp I have my cab, after that I am looking to do a split. For example I would like the option to send my signal to path 1 which has a 1/4 delay and path 2 which has a 1/4 dot delay then converge back to one signal into reverb. BUT I also would like the ability to send my signal to either path 1 or path 2 then into reverb. Basically one is a parallel signal, the other is option of series signal. How can I do this? I hope that made sense. I get confused with how to use Split Y vs Split A/B especially with balance and volume changes.

I did, I opened a support ticket with Helix. I found a youtube video of exactly what's happening. I guess it is hardware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmbIn0ENfh4 This sucks!

I did, unfortunately a firmware revert didn't work. I don't understand. My helix is only like 6 months old :(

Anyone have a problem with the joystick button not working? I can scroll left/right and up/down but pressing down on it does nothing. I tested with trying to add a effect into a block as well as saving a name text, I click down but it doesn't jump to cap, lowercase, number... I was going to try reverting firmware to 3.6 but wanted to see if there was a quick fix Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies! I'm trying to keep that little bit of 15% in case I want some more volume. I suppose I could do the same with my guitar volume knob but was curious if the Helix could be used in this way also. Not a biggie but more of a curiosity. Thanks guys!

I appreciate the replies! A bit of a bummer about the volume setting. Can a snapshot be set to 85% and then when I rock the pedal I have access to full 100? Not so much as setting global max value but just a starting point? I hope that made sense I do need sub 85% as some parts in a song I may do some volume swells

Hey guys, I'd like to set my volume pedal at max 85% across the board. My question is, if I do this will I be able to rock the pedal and be able to go to 100% if I needed just a little bit more volume? Also, I noticed when in a preset snapshot, if I change a individual pedal parameter, let's say Mix, the change affects the pedal in all snapshots in my preset. What I now do is push down on the knob which then turns white. This keeps the change from affecting my other snapshots. Is this the right way or is there a better way? David
