  1. OK, so I've rebooted it about 10 times. Sometimes the volume knob doesn't work at all, and sometimes it lets me turn it one way or the other about a 1/4 turn before freezing. Once, it let me go up and down about four times before it quit working. So something's definitely wrong. Should I re-load the update or just go back to 2.8 until this gets fixed?

  2. Looking forward to the update. I'm especially excited to hear the Revv Purple channel. I want to see if it gets close to the G3 pedal (which is also based on the purple channel).

    I am a little surprised, though. I thought the "missed connections" update from July was supposed to make these kinds of updates come more frequently. I love the idea of the level indicators, and would be thrilled if they would add a DSP meter.

  3. If Fractal had really stepped it up with the upcoming FM3, with insane DSP, multiple amps per preset, etc. then I'd say Helix might be in need of an upgrade soon. But as it stands, they really didn't do much more than put the AX8 into a smaller package and update the modeling and GUI. I'll probably buy one, but my Helix won't be going anywhere soon.

    ...I am always happy to get more tonal options in the high gain territory. Which I personally think the Helix overall could use more. I expect that will be satiated within the next few updates though.

     

     

    I think you're probably right. Hopefully, now that all the platform unification is done we'll be seeing more of that. The new Revv model is absolutely brilliant!

  5. I would happily give up all three of the Grammatico models to have the Revv red AND purple channels. The Revv Generator is already a legend, but let's be real, Grammatico is a niche amp. I'm sure it's a great amp, but not really what most people are waiting for.

  6. It's the same game of "Whack-A-Mole" where the same people just wait for someone to make the mistake of asking the wrong question or sounding at all critical then...WHAM!

    Don't you get tired of it?

  7. Retro-Rick,

    If you haven't been run off yet by the responses you've gotten, welcome to the forum.

     

    As you've no doubt been made aware, there are certain subjects you should not touch here. One of them is the frequency and/or perceived delay in upgrades to the Helix platform. If you do...…...  That being said, it's a great place to find most of the information you're looking for.

     

    As for myself, I'm looking forward to the upgrade, and especially intrigued by the possibility (as hinted by Line 6 itself) of the HX stomp having more than 6 blocks with which to operate in the future.

     

    Cheers!

  8. Hello all,

    I have tried to honor Silverhead's wishes, and refrain from posting further, but it seems that this won't die.

     

    My initial post was provocative, but not meant as a personal attack to anyone here, but as a general comment directed toward Line 6 itself. And when I was personally attacked, I retaliated, when I should have just let it go.

     

    So I would like to say that, during this thread, I have used terms which normally connote someone being overly sensitive, not as an attack on one's masculinity or age.  At least, that's how I have always understood them. But it appears that for some, it means more than that.

     

    So for anyone who was offended at my words, or took them as a personal attack, I sincerely apologize. 

     

    Keith

    That's fine. How does one do that?

    Nice try. But perhaps having lived in the real world longer gives you a better perspective on things. And yes, the polar bear was meant as a joke.

    It must be exhausting to be professionally aggrieved.

    It was a JOKE!

  12. Guys,

    There is a concept called "agreeing to disagree". It means that it's ok for someone else to have a different opinion. It has to be.

     

    I came out strongly in my criticism of the update. It was directed at Line 6, yet some of you have taken it to be a personal affront, which was not my intent.

     

    I know that Line 6 does not "owe" me anything, save for a working product. But that doesn't mean I can't have my own wish list. We all have our own “wants” for what we’d like to see in an update. Some of you wanted a new tuner, and some wanted new features and certain bugs fixed. That’s absolutely valid. I don’t call you “selfish” or “entitled” for that. Those wishes are valid, as is the wish for more effects, etc.

     

    So I'm just going to say that if you were offended by what I said, just know that it wasn't pointed at you personally. Yes, I have concerns about some things Line 6 is doing, and I could have started this thing with a different tone. For that, I apologize.

    you respond selectively to those posts that offer the easiest way for you to heat his thread up even more

     

    Dragonfet,

    I honestly wasn't trying to heat things up further, just defending myself when I felt attacked. Yes, I started this thing with both barrels, and I should have checked that. But it was not intended to end up this way.

    I get it. You're not a very nice person.

     

    Oh, I’m mortally wounded! I guess the lesson here is to never step on your dainty little toes. Goodnight, Nancy!

  15.  If you would bother to read, I already addressed that. And I f you can’t handle someone else having an opinion, then y’all can just go hang out in your safe space.

  16. Spikey, you really cannot stand for someone to have an opinion you disagree with, can you?

     I think Line 6 should have done something, and you’re perfectly happy that they didn’t. Let’s leave it at that. I don’t care how you characterize what I said or how it makes you feel. It obviously got under your skin and I really could care less about that.  I absolutely stand by what I said. I love my helix, but I think Line 6 should also be adding more content.  You don’t like that? Too bad!

    The topic header to me (and most everyone else I'm thinking)

     

    So now you're speaking for "most everyone", Spikey?

    Read my last post. If you can't understand those words, then I'm sorry I can't help you.
