Hi! I just got a Helix and I'm experiencing the same thing. I don't even have to be touching the strings - just sliding my hand up and down the back or sides of the neck causes the static. I tried it with different guitars, through head phones and powered speakers, and get the same thing. The louder the volume on the helix, the more you hear it. I don't recall my old tube amp ever doing that. Is it a solid state thing? A helix thing? It's sort of disappointing...
