I wish that I could get the versatility and depth of verbs and delays that my Strymon Timeline and Big sky have. I am also disappointed in the Helix in these 2 areas. It seem to me that the Helix time based FX really need to be up dated. I also use an Axe FX and the Axe disappoints me in that it takes forever for me to program it but it does have far better reverb and delay.

I live my helix but, I play a wide variety of different music. I'm used to both my Strymon Timeline and Strymon Bigsky and I also use an Eventide space and an Eventide Timefactor. I've been working hard for about 2 months to get some of the verb and delay sounds on the helix that I need without much luck. The Helix has beautiful verbs and delays but they are somewhat utilitarian for me. I finally decided to get a tiny board and bring both Strymon pedals with me. I kinda hate it because I fly a lot, but I really like both of these FXs to be more versatile than what the Helix can deliver. If there was anything that I could improve on the Helix these 2 fxs would be modernized. They're really not up to date. I also use a Fractal Axe FX and it's far more advanced in these 2 areas. It takes me forever to program, but its verbs and delays are better. You'll never get strymon sound or versatility on the Helix. I hope this helps. DJ
