I made a similar inquiry to Line 6 via their support ticket. Single-notes and some chords sounded fine with no beats/oscillation, but specific intervals would produce the un-wanted noise predictably.
Sounds the current algorithm just isn't ready or intended for true polyphonic pitch shifting. Digitech's "Drop" pedal or the EHX "Pitch Fork" pedal seem to be the cheapest stompbox option.
Those 2 products will be my reference when submitting "Idea Scale" request to Line 6. Helix should definitely have the processing & memory horsepower to git 'er dun.
Pitch wham works great for me. I have a VH and Ozzy preset and have the pitch wham as the first effect, no issues and no having to switch guitars during a show.

Awesome! I just received my Helix yesterday and this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

The only one to get it right! I always knew (or assumed), that he was using the reverb on one side of a stereo setup I've just never researched it. Great job! My only concern is your playing, I'm sure you could pick up any guitar and amp and sound like that :-) Thanks again for the patch.
