So i think after going through two weeks of learning all about the helix and these types of units and how they work and what their limitations are the fact of the matter for me is that we all have something different in mind in terms of how we want to use the unit and what we want from the unit and you either like it or you dont I personally am willing to keep the unit and use the snapshots function to try and squeeze all i can from one preset and i must say with a little thought you can get quite alot if there was no snapshot function like before firmware 2.0 would've gived it a mis There's not alot i can complain about when it comes to the helix LT except that they could've just added the aux in I cant understand why they left that out the normal helix floor unit has it so should the LT I would say people should decide before they get one what they want from the unit do you research on it and decide then especially if you're a nubie to all of this stuff For me im sticking with it

Hi at this stage ive been reading and learning about preset switching and using snapshots and what the difference is Well first off ive bought my helix lt in South Africa the first 6 only arrived 2 weeks ago so i picked one up at a whopping R16500. So my first worry when i started playing around with it was that the preset switching had audio gap and no reverb or delay bleed or spil over sorry if im not using correct terminology So with some reading i realized that the switching of presets involved alot of "thinking work " for the helix hence the gap etc So then I discovered snapshots and my excitement was restored but short lived as I discovered that i can barely load two or more amps reverbs etc because im maxing out the dsp So with all of that said my idee was to use the helix as a tool to seemlessly change between presets or snapshots using various amps effects etc but i find that im limited coz on the one hand preset switching doesn't work coz of the noticeable audio gap and on the other hand snapshots are very limiting coz of the dsp Ive got instrumental songs that i want to play along with using multiple amps and effects all for one song So ive seen people writing about how you can get creative with routings and all that tipe of thing but im just a bit let down by the fact that it's quite pricey and and not that easy as I thought All i want is to have 3 or 4 different presets or snapshots where there's multiple amps involed and i want to move back and forth between them without audio gaps etc or not being able to select more than 2 amps per preset And im not using the editor when setting up sound which ive heard also takes up dsp Look i think its a great unit with exceptional sound but its got its limits and I accept that but wanting to use multiple presets or snapshots within a song isn't asking alot Any idees or suggestions or maybe a globel setting to optimize dsp i dont know about?
