Just a quick note that might already be addressed but want to keep it in the loop, my Variax JTV69 into Helix has the issue of not changing the model in the Variax per snapshot.
Example - Preset with 4 snaps in it - #1 clean - strat in between, #2 distortion - LP lead pickup, #3 lead - LP middle position, #4 Lead w/harmony - LP lead pickup.
The snaps do not change the pickups, I opened a ticket on this and they came back with it is a known issue. The reply to the ticket said that it probably would not be fixed in 2.20.
I am hoping that the next update will have this fixed as this is what I have the JTV69 for and it is a very important fix for my use.
Outside of that I could not be more pleased with the tones and control of them with my setup. I have had all kinds of amps, refrigerator size rack mount gear setups and when POD's came out that changed it all for me. I had them all the way through the HD500X. Now the dream rig with the Variax, Helix and two L2m. The versatility is unmatched to any other setup I have had. Of coarse this is just my opinion and my preference.
Thanks Line6 for the greatest gear I have ever owned and by the way my 2.20 update went flawless. Looking forward to any addition's in future updates.
