By the way, Eric at Line 6 said they will never do this: "We'll never add PC+ preset selection from Helix over L6 LINK, because we actively don't want users doing it that way." https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?posts/28932164/ So they appear to know better than us users, again, even though one can currently select presets over midi. (Which I am all too happy to abandon now that we have PC Remote over L6 LINK).

True, but IRs work this way also. I can try a shared Helix preset that uses IRs and I must 1) have the IR and 2) know where to put it, which preset IR number slot to I have to use. Both requiring additional work on my part and possibly requiring a purchase. But sometimes it's worth that extra work if I like the shared Helix preset. Therefore there's precedence for having information in a Helix preset that may not be sufficient to use it "as is". So to me, that's not an excuse to not provide this option. In fact, I can resolve this issue. Design this so that when you select a PC+ preset rather than the individual parameters in Helix Digital Output, Helix shows what parameters make up the preset. Boom.

Voted, thanks!

NO! You're not the only one who thinks it's weird you can't ALSO select PC+ presets in additional to editing all the PC+ parameters with "Powercab Plus Remote" in Helix 2.80. I complained about this on thegearpage.net and Digital Igloo said Line 6 intentionally did it this way because they do not want us selecting just PC+ presets! I mean, WTF, I expected it would do at least that. Why? Because that's the way midi works with PC+ (and works great, if I just want to use pre-programmed PC+ presets rather than program all parameters for each and every Helix preset I have.) I hope they change their minds.

I've never fooled around much with the pitch shifters and harmonizers in Helix. In this song at 2:24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeEA9yuZ2G8 there's a solo which is likely double tracked guitars. However, is there an effect in Helix which could simulate this well? Can you tell what the settings would be and what would work best? Thanks in advance!
