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.

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

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)

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've just recently acquired my first Tele (30 years in, and never owned one... lol), and fell in love with it for certain things, but for clean tones you'll never get rid of the "twang"... and that just doesn't work for some stuff. So if you're looking for a "Swiss Army Knife" guitar for the various genres you listed, an HSS Strat is as close as you're ever gonna get.
Stand by for 8143 wildly different opinions...;)
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).

So, I finished my pedalboard, is really small and light, not less pretty though.
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?

IMO... the Helix works great in front of old school amps.... and there is no reason why it wouldn't work great in front of the OP's JTM 45. A Helix will work into the front end of a JTM 45 just as well as a pedal board full of effects would... IMO, better than a pedal board full of effects would with a lot more flexibility.
Here's the trick. Just use Helix as "effects only"... stay away from full amps and cabinet modelling. You can experiment with pre-amp models as "amp in the box" style effects if you want, that could add some flavors to your JTM 45. EG: A "who watt" preamp may be similar to placing a Catalinbread RAH in front of your amp while an Essex 30 preamp may be similar to a Wampler ACE30.
The vast majority of guitar players still run a pedal board into an amp. They do not worry about effects loops and 4 cable methods... they just have a board loaded with x number of pedals, their guitar plugged into one end and the amp into the other. Modulations can sound great in front of amps, so can delays, so can reverbs. Just because you have every option of flexibility open to you with a Helix that doesn't mean you are forced to use them all when you take it out of the box :)
The HX Effects is a great product... but why limit yourself if you want the full processing power of the Helix... which also has a built in expression pedal.
Here are some benefits to buying what you really want from the start instead of compromising.
- As I already mention... it WILL work great as a pedal board in front of an old school amp... an extremely flexible pedal board at that.
- You can still use the amp modelling at home, either with headphones, studio monitors, hooked up to a computer, etc... etc...
- If you want to do any home recording or studio work... you will find many uses for all the features of the Helix.
- If you ever add an amp with an effects loop, you can take a shot at 4 cable method if you want
- If you ever decide to get an FRFR cabinet, you are ready!
Just my 2 cents on the subject!
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.

Good tip, thanks. Can you remember which one in particular, or was it just trial and error?
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

Dimension is my favorite chorus in the HX. Sounds awesome
Helix into an amp (Katana, etc) via aux input?
