Thanks for your opinions. However I still don't think the Helix EQs are very nice. Of course there are workarounds like using multiple PEQ blocks but... * I would like to use those blocks for other effects. There are only 8. Wasting one more block to just get an adequate EQ would be really a big sacrifice. * Using more blocks is a bad workflow switching between blocks to adjust parameters. +-24 dB is not much. Check out the Acoustic Sim effect in the Helix. This one is doing exactly that, even slightly more. Having the possibility of doing this using a PEQ instead of Acoustim Sim block, would be a great oppotunity of saving some DSP power for other effects. I think it would be really easy to just provide larger param ranges for the PEQ. And it would give us so much. Especially the lower band freq range would be great to have a bit more flexibility there.

Hi, I love love love my Helix Stomp XL! I mostly I use a noise gate, an amp sim + cab like the Badonk and the LA2A only and then later tweak the sound in the DAW after recording. Mostly I just need some EQing and it sounds good enough for me. With the stuff in the DAW and a VST-EQ plugin this is pretty easy. However when I want to replicate the EQ later on the Helix for a live setup or just to play around without DAW, I'm kinda stuck... There are two EQs that would kinda work, the 10 band GEQ and the parametric EQ. But... both have drastic limits: Why only +-12dB? And why is the low band of the parametric EQ just up to 500 Hz? Wouldn't it be super easy to provide more options here? Just allow +-24 dB and extend the frequency ranges. And wouldn't it be easy to create a PEQ with 4 bands? I can work around it using two parametric EQs but workflow wise this is not great plus I use up one more block + DSP power I would need for other stuff like chorus later on or a second amp for stereo. Hey Line6, can you please create a more advanced parametric EQ? Suggestions: * +- 24 dB * wider band ranges * 4 band PEQ version Chers Timo

Hi, I'm trying to create a couple of stereo presets for my new HX Stomp XL but find it rather hard to get something together without reaching the DSP limit. My absolute minimum starting point for creating the preset is 2 pre-amps one for the left and one for the right channel to keep it stereo plus one dual cab sim. This already occupies 3 blocks and there is just a tiny little bit of DSP power left. This is just the basics no fancy FX yet. So here are two feature request I would really need in order to create decent stereo presets without buying a bigger unit. And I guess the concept of the Helix is to be able to do stereo, right? 1. Wouldn't it be possible to let the user decide to increase the buffer size to get more DSP power trading-off for some more latency? 2. Like the dual cab, a dual pre-amp would waste less space in the chain. Thanks Timo
