Hello all, I've bought the book on the basis of this thread and I'm very impressed. I'm a brand new user (bought a Helix Floor just before Christmas) and although this book isn't pitched at novices, it's helping me immensely to build some strucure for my initial "well I've bought it and plugged it in, NOW what do I do??" quandary, and also to accelerate me through the learning curve. I'm about 100 pages in so I'm still reading about the various effects, and I haven't got near playing with the supplied presets yet, which I'm really looking forward to. As context, I have a young child and no dedicated space to keep the Helix set up, so time to play and experiment is limited, so it's great that I can pick up the book and read a section when I have 15 minutes without actually having the unit to hand.
I have no affiliation with the author (I'm not even on the same continent) but I sincerely hope he sells lots of copies to repay the investment of his time - and selfishly for me, so that he has an incentive to publish updates!
I do have one dumb question. The author deliberately doesn't cover legacy effects but does encourage the reader to try them. Are there any other resources which cover them in this type of detail? If they're legacy effects, where were they originally included - perhaps the documentation of that unit(s) is worth a look? I had originally assumed they were all Helix originals, but looking at the user manual that's clearly not the case other than the reverbs. Thanks in advance!
