FX loop return.

I think you have it right... In the default (reload) mode, if you are on snapshot 1, and step on the snapshot 1 button, it simply reloads snapshot 1. in the Toggle mode, if you are on snapshot 1, and step on snapshot 1, it will toggle to the previously selected snapshot (whatever it is) instead of reloading snapshot 1. pretty nifty change honestly.

@Perrin1710 I know, some of them its obvious what the preset is supposed to sound like, but there are quite a few that stump me. I've looked for a list that would show what each one is supposed to be sounding like, but never have found one.... lol

Here is a list of all New presets, and all that were deleted http://benvesco.com/store/line-6-helix/

I used it this weekend in parallel/blended with the Sansamp model.... Sounded great.

use 2 of the Heir apparent blocks.

my backpack is supposed to be coming in today.

The answer is kind of yes and no. Technically, the DSP would not be combined, but you could consider each Helix it's own "path" and chain it all together. Not the most practical rig though... ;)

the answer you are looking for is snapshots.

You can actually get away with using your tube amp, but you have to make sure you are not using any Cab or Amp+cab blocks in the signal chain, then just connect your output into the FX loop return and use the master volume as your "power" amp. I'm doing that right now until I can afford to get me a FRFR type speaker set up to use. Works pretty well honestly, but if you forget to delete (or bypass) the cab block, it will sound bad. Guitar -> Helix with no cabinet modeling turned on -> FX Return of the amp = Win!

are you near a wireless router by chance when this is happening? I had that happen back when I first got it and was standing next to the wireless router in the house...

I've got the G30 and it works really well. If you have the funds for it though, Id say get the g50 (has a bit sturdier casing and stuff like that)

I see no problem with this. :) Maybe another FRFR to give you stereo? Yep, you totally need more stuff.

well, I took the plunge. Got an LT on the way, should be here by the end of the week.

OK. That answers the question I had then. I know they are limited by the DSP (LT and full floor have same DSP I understand) but what I could find was just the pure total number of blocks that are technically available. Thanks!

My google fu has been failing me on this question, so figured I'd bring it here. How many blocks does the Helix LT have?

I had it happen once. You may have a corrupt preset. Try a factory reset and see if that fixes it.

I'd second that. Probably the best "all-around" option if you are only gonna go with one.

Guitar>Fuzz pedal>HX drives (separated through 4CM)>other HX effects (separated through 4CM)>amp

you would probably want to put your fuzz before the HX (unless you were wanting to put the fuzz in the end of the chain and fuzz out everything).

I like that. Any chance your buddy would want to put some schematics/ plans out there for us other DIYers to try our hand at it?

just a little nit-picky point about your bullets at the end there. You can do 4CM with the HX effect too, so that isn't really some benefit for the full Helix over the HX. main benefits of the HX over full Helix. The other points you make are good ones. -size: if you already have a pedalboard and just want to incorporate the effects from a Helix into that pedalboard, its a lot easier to fit the HX in there than it would be to shoehorn a full Helix in -$$$$: HX is like a 1/3rd of the price of the full Helix, and like half the price of the LT.

get the HX Effects. If you have an amp you like, you don't need the full Helix. If you don't really like your amp and want the amp models, get the full Helix and a FRFR speaker or 2.

I can't remember the exact one, it was just one we had lying around. It was an older one for like a flip phone (not a smart phone case). something like THIS should work https://www.amazon.com/Premium-AccessoryHappy-Vertical-Canvas-Holster/dp/B076G7BN17/ref=sr_1_11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1550669296&sr=1-11&keywords=flip+phone

Dimension is my favorite chorus in the HX. Sounds awesome
