Hi 

Looking to try a power cab

Got a Helix hooked up to my Orange Crush Pro via the  4 Cable method and love it...

Want to us the powerCab as stage amp, not interested in IR's. Do I need the Plus version?

I use Orange Crush pro, 4 cable method works fantastic.

Not looking for sarcasm, some of you on here are so up your own arses you rather mock than give helpful insight.....

Half the point of snapshots is to be able to change multiple parameters, and/or toggle multiple FX on or off with one tap of a footswitch. You can put enough individual FX blocks in your chain to choke a horse and control them all with a selection of snapshots, named accordingly... wet gain, dry grain, wet clean... etc etc etc. You don't have to tap dance anymore unless you want to.

Ok so here is my challenge...

I have 4 base snapshot sounds Clean, Crunch, Overdrive & Heavy Overdrive.

I have 3 delays, flanger, rotary, chorus, boost, phaser that need to be available for any of my base sounds.

So 8 snapshots will not work all those different combinations , which is why I have to go into Mode to toggle more stomps.

Just want to see if there is any better way of working presets.

Sure understood, 

It's not the amount of snapshots but the switchable effects I use within each snapshots

I use 4 snapshots.....

Clean

Crunch

Overdrive

Heavy overdrive

Which leaves only 4 switchable effects buttons, if I need more I have to go into Mode to access more effects to use.

Considering using a non snapshot preset to give me more flexibility.

Hi,

Anyone use Snapshots  and Non Snapshot presets?

Current snapshots doesn't give me enough space for additional foot switchable  effects.

Any help would be appreciated, currently using a Blackstar Artist 15 4CM which sounds great, but looking for back up/alternative options.

How did you do the A/B switching & stuff?

My Blackstar  switches with these commands

use this settings in command centre to a footswtich 

Command = Bank/prog

midi ch 1

Program 1 =clean 2= crunch 3=super crunch 

Thanks for the info.

Midi switching is not the issue for me, its the effects that I don't want to use going from Clean to any of the other channels.

If I can configure switching/routing to achieve this that would be great.....

Will this stop the chorus being used separately assigned to its own footswitch?

I need to switch to either Crunch or Super Crunch from Clean.

I have not managed to create one patch yet to achieve this , I use 3 patches at the moment. Clean, Crunch & Super Crunch....

Hi

Here's my challenge......

I have a Blackstar Series on 50 head and currently use Midi to switch channels and due to the latency of switching patches, I want to se if there is any way to use one patch to switch channels and effects.

I do not use 4 cable method due to tone suck, I run the guitar out via 1/4 of Helix to front of amp in path 1 and use a 2nd separate path for  the effects loop through the amp via send 1 & 2

Changing channels is fine using midi, but changing from a clean with chorus to a crunch or super crunch channel without chorus is proving to be difficult in a single patch.

Clean channel only effects - Chorus & long delay

Shared effects on all 3 channels - delays, phaser, flanger, reverb.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone put together a good organ sound effect? Paul Hindmarsh has produced track with 2 rotary speakers in the patch that sounds good.

I use a EHX pedal at the moment but would like to get a good organ and synth sounds from the helix.

Any one using this?

Interested in the limitations of how many channels are switchable 2 or 3?

Cheers

Paul

Hi,

Looking to buy a JVM and need to know what midi values can be used to control the  channel options.

The way the JVM works is that you set the amp desired setting, activate Midi mode, and send any code such as 01 from Helix pedal. The JVM remembers the Midi value and channel setting and recalls it when you send 0.

So what Midi CC# values are free to use for this set up?

Thanks

Paul

When you send the program you need can you be more specific?

Turned them off by midi command from the Helix.  It does not change the loaded models so when Helix is disconnected you can still use it standalone.

Ok great,

What commands do you use?

How do you assign these commands to a footswitch?

I have read the manual a few times now and think its fairly straight forward  but wanted to get your input please.

Thanks 

I've had my Helix for a couple of months now and have been using it direct to PA and loving it.  I tried hooking it up to my DT25 HD and a 1X12 cab this weekend.  I used the L6 Link and a midi cable for control.  As of now, the Helix doesn't fully integrate like the HD500 but it is so easy to use midi to do the same thing with Helix.  I turned off all the amp, cab and mic sims in the DT and just used the Helix for everything.  I tried the preamps and full amps with and without cab sims.  I found the cab sims unnecessary and the preamps have a wide range of volume swings.  The full amp models are pretty close in volume levels and sound amazing through the DT.  Miles ahead of the HD500, really just blew me away.  I really can't say enough about how great it sounds.  If you go with the DT you won't be disappointed.  I posted the whole setlist as a template in another thread on here if you want it or just let me know.

So looking for a used DT25 now, hope to get one soon.

1. How did you turn off the amp,cab & mic sims  on the DT ?
2. If I want to use the DT for a jam with just a guitar, will I need to reset the DT to use the amp models? 

Interested to know if this amp works well on not?

Cheers

Great thanks, do you have any recordings? So what output do you send to the PA?

So which amps are working? I am considering a DT25 but want to look at all options.

Some key considerations:-

• Channels changing via Helix
• Do front of amp effects work well
• Is Midi the best option

Look forward to your comments

Cheers

Has anyone had any good tones and switching via Midi?

So this thread has not evolved as I though it would...... I was hoping for was tips and advice on crafting a good tone.

I have taken the time to work on my presents, purchased other available presets to further my experience. So I believe this to be the best multi-effect pedal I have ever purchased, what my ears hear and desire as tone need to be created by me, not by someone else

What I have learned so far is-

• Impedance setting is key
• using the right monitor to craft you tone is essential
• No rules but guidelines, what you hear is what you need to be happy with.

So @Digital_Igloo please keep up the good work, appreciate you guidance and help.

The search continues....... I did some more experimenting tonight....and.....

Guitar In Impedance - by setting this to Auto made the presets sound better

L2M on floor monitor default floor  monitor mode, changed to PA mode also made a improvement.

Played back  a few of the presets and they start to sound a lot better, any more suggestions?

I have the AES/EBU cable and its set to Line,  it sounds terrible through headphones as well. :(
