i don't agree that any gizmo offers more for the money than my Andersons do, frankly (amps/processors come and go, but my really great guitars remain)... but... you are not wrong otherwise imho. If it takes a Helix AND a Kemper AND an AXE to get your sound and you can use all three... the only reason you wouldn't is if a.) you're a mindless fan boi who has some strange loyalty to a corporation or 2.) You're simply not sophisticated enough with technology (nothing wrong with that) or simply can't afford to take the time to learn them or 3.) $#!†! man that's a lot of money! If you can swing it... do it...

No. You don't get to have this, because promising stuff before you know you can deliver it is not what Line 6 does. They've explained why plenty of times. I would say this to you, though. If Helix doesn't have a feature you have decided you NEED, either get the pedal that does that and put it in a loop (for me, that's Mel9 and POG2)... or... if you HAVE to have a feature that isn't in a particular product, never buy that product hoping it'll get added some day. Buy and use it for what it can do today. Plus, marketing-wise, surprising people just before or at the time they get a new feature/model is a great strategy. They do announce stuff in advance when they can and feel it will be helpful or work well for them and the customer. Like Native for instance... also all the details of the 2.2 update came out ahead of time, too. In fact, I don't know that they can really improve the way they interact with customers. Especially Frank and Eric (Digital Igloo) are AMAZING at this.

Why? The text for performance view is smaller than the scribble strips are. So it would be fairly pointless, wouldn't it?

Bottom line is there is only one tempo to sync to. So if you wanted one delay at 1/4 notes at 120bpm and another for a different song at 1.4 notes at 135bpm, you can not do that. For that kind of thing, you'll need ms values, but then you can't tap the tempo in if you need to change it. Hope that helps.

Everybody's just jealous because they can't afford both...

I want the Yamaha symphonic chorus effect in Helix! But I have to say, Trinity does it for me. And I'm using it now that Chorus is back in style again!

yup, the "tuner sucks" argument always come down to people with "golden hearing" or some such. I have doubts about it every. single. time. The few ms between initial attack and note bloom on my guitars will sometimes see a difference in pitch unless I hit them really lightly. And let's not even go to the whole fretting a note thing... Many of the tuner complainers are measurebaters. (not saying any of YOU who posted here are, of course...)

Or just use Dropbox.

tube preamp right after the cabinet adds a nice flavor to whatever that cab block or IR is doing.

The last "10%" is sometimes just a function of volume. We often end up using modelers because we can't be as loud as a tube amp. When you're not as loud, the air isn't moving the right way, and you'll never be at "100%".

All due respect, yes. You actually are. If you are picky enough to recognize when you can only get 90% there and are passionate about that other 10%... and are willing to add another very expensive piece of gear to the puzzle... ...you are a tone engineer... Or at least you should become one.

I'm pretty sure the ONLY thing Control can do is act as a remote. So... I'd say that the one possibility is using Control with Helix Native with no Helix Rack in between. There will never be audio or MIDI solutions between Control and a computer other than that I'll wager.

Helix is designed for a pro to turn it on and play a show. Anything that gets in the way of that is bad. Back up your presets. problem solved. I also agree with the "not only no, but HELL NO" to this kind of feature.

What specific amps? Keep in mind that there are actually very few different kinds of amp circuits, and the sound you want may be available in a different amp. For instance, if someone makes an awesome marshall clone, it could be that you'll get your sound from one of the Marshall models in there. But I think that using both would be great fun. I'd rather have an AX8 along with Helix if I could swing it, but that's just me.

Dude used the word hysteresis in casual conversation. You win the internet, sir.

Too much low end is often the problem here. Are you cutting LOW end in your cab block?

Upgrade to the very latest firmware and everything before you do anything. Learn to make your own patches and you'll get the most from it. Always separate your amp and cab, don't ever use the amp+cab stuff. Drink lots of fluids. Excercise regularly. Wear clean underpants.

I have had no such issues with my Rack, been running it since Dec 2015. in fact, I haven't even had issues like yours with BETA firmware! Have you re-flashed the firmware, re-set everything, loaded patches and Its back in? Also, did you have Control on during a firmware update? That could cause a problem. Disconnect Control during updates.

yes, but I bet some great parametric EQ, an acoustic guitar IR and some judicious LA Studio Comp in Helix will BLOW YOU AWAY! It's the best acoustic guitar preamp I've ever used.

Don't think you need the Artist's preamp at all, just think of it as an FRFR and use it like that. The mic could be run on its own path and out one of the sends to the Power Engine and not be in the rest of your chains at all. Easy.

it is also the very best way to move all your patches from a main unit to a backup unit.

Word Clock is ONLY in the Rack. Never was in the floor. AES/EBU in is also only in the Rack, as is buffered Guitar Out, and also (unnecessary on floor) connections for all 3 EXPs as well as a switch connection for EXP 1 with a Mission pedal so equipped.

HA! yeah... well, you could buy a used HD Bean... I think it has auto Z on the input... which can be set manually.

Well, since you can dial it up anytime you want, why would they need to do this? I don't understand. So you go to guitar amps to get it... big deal...

Try the current bassman amp with a true bass cabinet. Thank me later.
