Agreed 100%. It's a plus that I'm the type of guy that can never just "let it be". I'm always looking to tweak and mod everything I own (my bass, my truck, my PC, you name it), and the Helix is just making it that much easier for me. I know I'll eventually be where every patch I use is my own, but nevertheless Customtone has helped jump start things a little. In the meantime, YouTube, YouTube, and more YouTube. Again, thanks for all of the help. When the Village Idiot speaks up, it's not often met with courtesy ;-)

Ahhhh. I've only had it about two weeks now, and hadn't even explored the stock presets completely. I thought there was more available in 2, but that is proof of how much I pay attention haha Nooooooooo, this thing does WAY more than I ever fathomed a pedal could do. I can't believe there are as many as there are as-is! It just seemed a little odd to stop at 23C vs 23D or 24D. But, like I mentioned to @phil_m, I'm still wet behind the ears. Thanks for the pointer to Malhavok's site. I love finding information like that, seeing how a piece of gear has evolved over time. I wish he'd kept going into the latest FWs though. Sweetwater shipped my Helix with 3.0, and I installed the 3.10 just the other day. I think the particular patch I'm looking for went with the update, Nine Inch Pills. It's fun to toy with after wearing myself out practicing. And DI's right, factory presets are fun to play with, but rarely any good to perform with. I got my first bass pedal a year ago, a B3n, and it's the same case there; all but two patches are useless live, and even those two needed some good tweaking to get the tone I wanted. I've already pulled a boatload of presets from the CustomTone area and have a couple that I'm settling into and polishing up for my setup. Thanks so much to both of you for the info!

After years of dreaming and drooling, I finally just got a Helix Floor from Sweetwater. It's more than I ever imagined a pedal could be. One thing that I can't seem to figure out though. After updating to 3.10, part of Factory 2 seems to have vanished. I have nothing but "New Preset" from 23D to the end. I'm a little bummed by that. I've tried powering on with 7/8 pressed. No change. What gives? FACTORY 2.hls
