A song of mine with a Didgeridoo style guitar. https://soundcloud.com/pearly-gates-66/didgeridoo-song

i'm glad there is at least a person who has good ears. The main complain is that they aren't tweakable if you low the fuzz parameter they sound worst but not quieter. Helix has some great effects and some not so good. Univibe perfect (i owned it once) Electric Mistress good sound but not nails the original, (i owned it once) other flangers good. Choruses good Tremolos not impressive maybe the last added is the best. Overdrives good delays very good. (i owned DL4 once) Comps good Eq good Filters good Pitch shifters not bad but need tracking improvements. Synths i don't use them Reverbs not bad but not impressive Fuzzes bad ( i own a Keeley Fuzzhead) Leslies bad (not easy to use, muffled sound) Wah good Amps good Cabs much better external IRs great sound improvemet. (3Sigma great) Obvously i don't talk about the things that are already good, i'd like they improve the sound of the things that aren't good. in this video he'd chosen obvousily the best effects to compare...not fuzzes. I agree they are the best effects in Helix but not all of them are so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiDHccRCpoM

About the Leslie. It will better to have a block like an univibe without to switch the cab and change the sound, i know in the real old world it was like that...who cares? The main thing is to emulate leslie sound modulation without all hassles. For example if i'm using a marshall and i want leslie modulation, i have to switch to Leslie as a cab and the sound become wimpy. I'd like to keep the marshall sound but with leslie modulation. Is it so strange? About fuzzes. if you put in 4 fuzzes in helix make 3 extreme A at least 1 one mild For example KWB is a mild ovedrive.

I said it's not Phil fault, he did the best possible, but there is no way to make the fuzz sound decent. Even with the fuzz parameter almost to zero. this is a evidence that the fuzz doesn't work well...is untweakable....all the fuzzes are like this.

It's not your fault but fuzz sucks. I see in your pic you set fuzz parameter almost to zero and it's even too much. Watch this video, Fultone 69 is a reissue of Arbiter Fuzz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5CW52cRvQo Listen to it carefully when he let the notes ring no strange farty noises and the sound it's not like a broken transistor radio speaker it's more creamy. Is it so difficult to copy this sound? you may say...but the original arbiter was worst than Fulltone 69 it was a fart generator it had problems... Who cares? give me sound without the problems. Helix is a virtual world. The fuzzes in Helix suck and Leslies too. period.

AhahahahahahHe's chosen the best effects in Helix. He's not a fool. univibe is the best

Thanks Something different from common rock/blues/jazz/shred

Nice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiDHccRCpoM

A music experiment using Helix. Guitars and loops. New and old mixed together. No backingtrack. Everything is made by me layering single loops. https://soundcloud.com/pearly-gates-66/flying-to-the-sun

Please post an audio demo or video where you achieve the musical and creamy sound of Keeley PSI fuzz using a Fuzz inside Helix and I will believe you. The problem with helix fuzzes is that they sound only at max If you try to tame them they sound bad. A pedal like this that is an Hybrid fuzz/distortion should be great. This is great sound...not like blowing a raspberry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77g9ml6t5rM

IMO the Fuzzes in Helix aren't well tweakable like in that video, and I'd like a creamier sound than acid. Is there a fuzz that sound like a Keeley inside Helix?

you are right...too many fuzzes, only noise. No one tweakable. Tha last one the icing on the cake another super trash noisy

Digital Igloo are you in the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k50ho7gwoU

...and now that i have your attention Digital Igloo. this should be another great add. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ueYEg3-xo4

ONE OF THE BEST OF COURSE: (the first is my favourite, i own a real FuzzHead is a great pedal) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d16HG-TSuW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77g9ml6t5rM

The last fuzz they added it's worst than the previous. Only noise

I beg your perdon sir.

Add less extreme sounding fuzzes. You 'll find video demos in comments. http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Add-less-extreme-sounding-fuzzes/800313-23508

Please vote fo my idea Add less extreme sounding fuzzes http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Add-less-extreme-sounding-fuzzes/800313-23508

Thank you very much. I'm very pleased too...great fun I hope they keep upgrading.

It's a great pedal! This the link, You will find also a video demo. http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Add-Mutron-Phasor-II-in-Helix/833318-23508

Thank you. Great add! now it's my favourite amp.
