  1. Can anyone tell me what type of high pass filter is used in Helix models? Maybe a 2nd order 12 db/octave Butterworth? Or something more sophisticated?
  2. Hey feature request. On my Helix Floor, I can select what input the Tuner is looking at. Often, I use returns as inputs when I have multiple guitars hooked up. But I can't do that on the Stomp/XL. Can this be added? I just bought a Stomp XL and today used the returns for a dual source acoustic I have... and realized that I can't tune it with the Stomp... had to use my phone. Thanks!
  3. Ok good to know. But that assumes they are route to the stereo output. It doesn’t answer whether those inputs can be mixed or blended together with separate gain and effects and routed to a mono output like Helix can do on a single dsp.
  4. Can the stereo return be used as inputs and mixed together for a mono out... like Helix does?
  5. There really isn't on the Helix. That said, the Boss CP-1X is a fantastic compressor pedal, multi-band, and easy as pie to dial in. Some people call it an auto-compressor because it dials in most of those parameters on it's own, and the LED makes it REAL easy to set the threshold. I wish the Helix comps had some of that functionality.
  6. I tried this last night, nifty idea. I put a hard gate first in my helix chain and adjusted the threshold until it was kicking in at the level I wanted. Then bypassed the gate and applied the same threshold level to the deluxe compressor. Not quite as convenient as having a reduction meter, but works about as well.
  7. I appreciate that story, but very few people have developed an ear to hear compression. I run sound and teach my guys to "mix" with their ears, but adjust the gain and compression with their eyes.
  8. I know nothing about DAW, or using one with the Helix. How would that work?
  9. The gate on an expression pedal is a good idea though... thanks!
  10. Both of the pedal compressors I’ve owned had an LED. Boss CP1X and Empress. Yes frustrating.
  11. Is there any way to tell when the comp is kicking in? It’s hard for me to know where to set the threshold.
  12. I've had a Helix Floor for a few months now, just upgraded to FW 2.3. I mainly use it on stage, rarely hook my computer up to it. I generally just tweak a sound and save it on the foot controller. 1) What would Native do for me? 2) When I log into my account, it tells me Native is $399. How do I register it so it knows I have a Floor so it would only be $99? Thanks.
  13. Hi, Lovin' my Helix, and I love how it makes my acoustic sound. Compressor + Tube Preamp + Reverb. I am not a novice with compressors, but clearly not an expert either. I have been using the LA comp, but I don't get the parameters (and I read the others stuff on the forum about that). Maybe I'll try the Deluxe Comp too. Anyway, I do a combination of fingerpicking and strumming, so a compressor evens out those levels very nicely. And I like how the multi-band comp on the Boss CP-1X selectively compresses certain (mystery) frequencies. I wish I could get that sort of multi-band comp for Helix. I know there is a 3 band comp, but I have no idea how to set it. If you have suggested comp settings for acoustic guitar, please share.
  14. Just got my Helix. I can create a split and merge from 1 input. But it doesn't seem possible to take 2 actual inputs and merge them, or split 1 input to 2 separate actual outputs. There's that dashed line between the two on the screen. 1) First, very simple, can't I get the same signal out of both L and R 1/4" jacks? 2) Can I input 2 pickups from my acoustic guitar, merge them using a PAN function and then output to 1 output. HELP! Thanks. Ryan
