    It certainly does, thanks!

    That is a sweet, sweet setup you've got there!

    They are the V1. The "Tallboy" buttons in the back really do make a significant difference. Here is a picture taken from the side. The angle of the Helix's surface is exaggerated by its being on the Pedaltrain, but you get the idea: The other thing that has been great with them is that they prevent inadvertently activating the capacitive touch function. Maybe I'm the only one, but that was a significant enough nuisance for me that I actually turned it off. The Barefoot buttons prevent accidentally activating it, but still allow you to access the functions when desired by touching the set screws. That has been really nice for me.

    Rocco, I have a couple of questions about your G30, as I've been contemplating going wireless. If you don't mind, what is the footprint of the receiver? And does it require its own wall-wart or can it be powered by the 9v supply on a pedal board? Thanks! -VB

    Those are "Barefoot Buttons", I actually learned about them in a different thread here on the forum. They are really cool and quite functional to boot; they are pretty proud of them though. http://barefootbuttons.com I used the short ones on the front row and the tall ones on the rear, excellent for clearance. They install with three set-screws, and touching the set screw lets you access the Helix capacitance features, which is really nice. And if you get the clear ones, they allow the LED rings on Helix to shine through in a very cool way. Night shot (apologies for the focus, it was, well, dark...): As for the main volume and headphone volume knobs, I often use the headphones to monitor with the main volume all the way down (baby nap time, for instance) and found that the main volume was always creeping up. Every sweep of the hand or catch of the headphone cord wanted to grab it. By swapping them, it makes for a smaller target as well as reducing how easily the knob is turned. No more inadvertant rafter-rattling, haha!

    Cool! I used a Pitch Black tuner forever, right up until I got Helix. Great unit, I still keep it for use as a bench tuner. I was running a standalone "satellite board" for a while, but it ultimately got to being kind of a hassle. So I consolidated onto a Pedaltrain Terra. (Helix is not hanging off the board, trick of perspective...) Guitar is straight into Trio+ with the rest of the board in its loop. FreqOut is in front of Helix. The two treadle pedals are home-brew expression pedals built in a RotoVibe and Wah enclosure. Bit Commander, Shoe Gazer (and the NS-2 Noise Supressor), and the Erupter are each in their own Helix FX Loop. The remaining loop is the last block in the chain and is used to send back to Trio+ FX Return and then bring the Trio's output back. Everything out via XLR to an Atomic CLR cab.

    They sound a'ight to me! I like the subtle tremolo at the beginning of the Tele piece, which tremolo did you use for that?

    I believe this video will walk you right through what you're looking for:

    Check out this thread, it has a ton of information on the differences between the real amp controls and Helix controls, and how to exploit or defeat the "added" controls: http://line6.com/support/topic/19961-helix-amp-model-gallery-real-controls-vs-invented/

    That sounds really good! Makes me want to go play with that amp...

    I have found the posts/threads by Dr.Bonkers, CabIR.eu, Fremen, Glenn Delaune and others to be relevant and intereresting, and in some cases I've chosen to give them business. I personally take no issue with it. Other forums I'm on are routinely bombarded by marketing blitzes for lollipop and Mexican pain pills and pills for enlarging certain protuberances; that's Spam and it is annoying. This in't that.
  12. Verne-Bunsen
    This has been an interesting thread. Other people building the same patch don't experience the issue, but the one person who imported the original patch DID. Makes it sound very much like a problem with the patch, but evidently the OP can re-build the patch from scratch and the problem persists, which makes it sound not-so-much like the patch. A couple of questions: Has the Facebook guy who recreated the problem tried building the patch from scratch? Have you attempted building the patch in another slot? I'd imagine Line6 would be interested to see this patch, have they responded to your ticket yet?
  13. Verne-Bunsen
    Just for clarification, there is no risk of "frying" anything by doing this. You're just using a switch to produce two discrete EXP positions (0% and 100%) instead of using a potentiometer to provide the full range.
  14. Verne-Bunsen
    With a little understanding of what Helix is looking for and what your switch is doing, this can already be done! http://line6.com/support/topic/26725-toe-switching-with-an-external-exp-pedal/

    Whether Line 6 will ever put one in Helix I can't say, but I have a Freq Out on my board and will say this: do yourself a favor and just get one! It works so well it's obscene.
  16. Verne-Bunsen
    I enjoyed that thoroughly. Nice work and thanks for sharing it!
  17. Verne-Bunsen
    POD sounded good, Kemper sounded good, I'm not sure about the AmpliFire.....
  18. Verne-Bunsen
    I got an e-mail about these a couple of days ago. Intriguing stuff, I'd like to know a bit about the capture process. Either way, I hope they aren't TOO effective, I'd hate to lose my best justification for owning multiple guitars.....
  19. Verne-Bunsen
    I had one of these on my board forever before getting Helix. I keep it in the shop now as a bench tuner. They're good units.
  20. Verne-Bunsen
    Mine didn't go directly to Line 6 since it was being handled by Guitar Center, but it was just about two weeks from me dropping it at the post office to the mail man dropping the replacement at my door. The repair center had it for several days before they looked at it and contacted me.

    I'm not going to jump on the "Helix reverbs are awful" bandwagon because, generally speaking, they suit me fine. However, that being said, drippy surfy spring reverb tones just aren't there. Severely lackluster in that department. I've had the best results with the spring 'verbs located between the amp and cabs/IRs, reverb block high cut down around 1-1.5k, but still a long ways from authentic and a long ways from drippy. I do hope this one gets improved at some point.
  22. Verne-Bunsen
    I've had to send one back for the same issue myself, your story is not encouraging...
  23. Verne-Bunsen
    Great post, I'm going to give this a whirl.
  24. Verne-Bunsen
    Since it hasn't already been mentioned, I run Helix direct into an Atomic CLR active cab. It's phenomenous.
  25. Verne-Bunsen
    There are a number of ways to increase the volume of your presets; for what you're after I think the easiest would be an adjustment to the level parameter in the output block.
