I second this.

This makes sense to me, actually, since the Helix is modeling actual circuits.

I really like Mike Hermans’ demo of the Freqout. Heck, I just like his playing and enjoy all of his demos. Makes it kinda hard for me to decide as to whether or not I’ll actually like the pedal. 😆 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s4O3rJZPrNk

Thanks. Gonna have to try that. It sure doesn’t sound like it. Hmmm

I should have clarified. Yes, you are correct but the Double Take sounds really odd in mono and we really could use a mono version of the Trinity. But also, the Helix really should have an option to sum the outputs to mono. That way, you could run the thing in either mode and not have to replace the stereo effects with mono ones or vice-versa. The left XLR output says "mono" but it sounds like just the left channel of a stereo signal to me. Not sure if it does in fact auto-detect that there's only one connector attached to the XLR connectors.

Woohoo! What about the other stereo effects - the chorus and doubler in particular?

My question is, does it still sound good in mono? I hardly ever run in stereo.

Check out my proposal. Of equal importance is to have this as an option so that you don't have to use it if you don't need or like it.

I don’t think this is currently possible and I would like to be able to do this as well some months ago I posted this idea - https://line6.ideascale.com/a/ideas/search?templateId=0&query=Remember+last+Snapshot+

I love this place!

I think that for some, it takes a little while to get that hang of and determine if the Helix is going to do it for them. As much as most of us here would likely endorse the Helix wholeheartedly, ultimately it will be up to you and your needs. My recommendation is to hang on to your old rig, tolerate the mess for a while until you’re sure you’re about to make the right decision.

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, etc. everyone!!

I still want an editor for iOS

I think it’s only practical if you run the Helix in stereo.

Anyone tried the electric guitar body IRs?

Thanks for sharing them, Sacco Belmonte!

Yeah, but then you have two things to pack around instead of just one. Just a personal preference. I do wish there was an editor for the iPad

The editor is fine for editing at home but in my experience, every new or modified preset will need tweaking at the gig. I don't bring a computer to the gig for editing so it's the "Stoop, Twiddle and Pluck" dance for a little while.

Yup. Just like how you can save user presets for audio plugins on your computer.

😂😆 Well... no. 😂 it’s just as bad. Honestly, I played with the new amps and they’re really cool sounding but... I am equally happy with the ones I currently use.

Agreed. I don’t think it’s practical to try to copy specific blocks within a path. I think it’s easier if you just copy the whole path and delete the ones you don’t want after you’ve pasted it onto another path or preset.

You could add it to the "Action" button. Hit that button and select "Copy Path", choose the Path to copy, and then select "Paste to Path" to either paste it on the secondary path in the same preset or, and this is what would be more useful for me, go to another preset and be able to hit the "Action"button again, select "Paste to Path", select the path and hit "OK" in that new preset.

USB Output Gain... if there's such a parameter? I'm not sure. The only time I connect via USB is to backup, Edit or Update.

Have you checked to see if there's an input pad turned on in the Helix?

Idle hands got the better of me last night and I went and updated to 2.30. So far, so good. I'm liking the Backup and Restore feature, the new amps sound good and seem like fun to tinker with and I think the Bias, Bias X and Ripple controls now seem to have a more noticeable effect when you move their sliders. It was pretty subtle before, I thought. No, none of the new amps have replaced the ones I use in my patches now. As I said before, I was and still am perfectly happy with the sounds I've got. Maybe I was just not in the mood to experiment... or maybe because I know where it leads. It leads to more bending down at the pedal, at the gig, to adjust certain things about the new amp sounds. I've already done that and don't want to do it again for a good long while or unless the next update really has some things that I actually want to incorporate into my patches. Love the new SP Comp (I have the real one on my analog pedalboard) - that little guy sounds so cool in both the physical and virtual renditions! Somebody had posted asking if the "Squirrel had gone". I'm thinking it has. There seems to be a renewed smoothness to the way it sounds now. If it's just my imagination, that's ok too because I already liked the way it sounded before the update. I hadn't noticed it before but now, switching between cabs sounds more abrupt and there's a tiny bit of a kind of "Pop" sound when you change cabs. I wonder if something in the Cab Sims has changed. Things do sound a tiny bit smoother. I run mostly in mono and have found the Doubler effect to be not so great in mono - I had higher hopes and it reinforces the need for dedicated mono effects or at least a way to sum them to mono with minimal phase cancellation... if that's possible. Not a very exciting update for me but at least now, it won't be as much of a pain when a version comes out with features that hold more interest for me. For that, thank you, Line6!
