POD Go has something called "Kinky Boost" which is an EP Booster.

It still seems, to me, like this new Boss processor will be really awesome for a lot of guitar players.

well, there is another reason this wouldn't work. It would be WAY too easy to hit the wrong pedal and mute your whole sound during a song. That would not fly during a live performance at all.

Variax doesn't have the kind of functionality required to make that happen. It only sends audio from the guitar to the Helix, even over VDI.

Except... it's functionally impossible because that footswitch is shared with the tap tempo function.

Actually, I just thought about it. Trails on an FX return is functionally impossible anyway. That's why it's not there. Think it through.

If there is a send somewhere that feeds that device, just turn on/off the send instead?

YES! ...not to mention the fact that the product is continuously improved and updated. If you got one in the early days, as I did, you are looking at MAJOR changes, and new features and models that (at least in my case) are enabling me to make music now I couldn't when it first came out. Honestly those folks who don't understand that humans are part of the cost of great stuff are just annoying though. They are the same people who think all software should be free so they justify pirating it.

NECRO THREAD ALERT!

Yeah, but you open the preset, go to the block, and select "default" and wham. I think actually automatically changing every single instance of Cosmos Delay in every single one of my presets, or something like that, would be 99% useless tbh.

I think it's coming in 3.0 "Favorites" or some such. Also, I think at the basic level, you'll be able to set your own default settings for all blocks.

Check your sample rate settings in your DAW as well as in your Helix Floor Global settings. Make sure they match.

I find the tap tempo light to work fine, always have.

well, the gulf between usability on the two platforms is far from what it was just a decade or so ago, but yeah. I still find Windows 10 so annoying to configure and use that my "test" laptop I have here never gets turned on.

I am more than a regular on all the forums. I see WAY more issues with Windows computers and HX products than Mac. I don't know that there is actually that many issues with Catalina, tbh. I certainly had no issues with it with either Native 1.8 or 1.9, through all the betas as well.
