Took me no time and very little blocks to get proper toanz out og this thing. Used a Ownhammer IR, direct via USB to Logic, no post FX.
Verdict?

Some Ideas:
Expression Pedal Movement Event to activate/deactivate blocks:
Stakkato/Gater/Killswitch Effect (Extreme Tremolo):
Convolution/IR Reverb:

I'm not asking about future products. This is the Helix forum, I was wondering how development time is being prioritised right now. Bugfixing. New FX. New Amps. You name it.
-
Care about sharing what is in the pipeline?
Just bugfixes or new toys for us to play with?
Would be great to get some idea about what's coming ...
-
The soft case of my PedalTrain II is a perfect fit.

+1 to all
More Phasers and more FX with deeper editing and modulation sources are muuuuch higher on my wishlist than more Amp models for sure.

Yeah it runs through the Ampete One and the Marshall Cab (which is from 1973 with original Greyback 25W Speakers)
-
I was just wondering if it's enough gain :D
-
Just got it yesterday. Wait what I'll come up with once I start getting familiar with it :)
A poweramp block 6L6/EL34 modeled after an old VHT would be cool to complete my PA signal, as right now it's just the PRE of my tube amp going to the IR ;)
-
Enjoy, albeit it's a bit geeky, this is what I love about the Helix!

My unit froze today upon startup. Latest Firmware. Not sure what caused it. Restore fixed it but lost all presets.

My unit froze today after startup. This is what it looked like. No buttons or anything reacted, screen blank.
I know I should have backed them Presets up.
Got it back to life but lost all presets. Any way to do a reset without losing presets?
-
Select the split node. Press action. Use the joystick to detach and create a separate input. Same with return and output.

They were connected in the same power outlet. I think it's a quite common issue when using 4 CM. As said, if other people experience this, something like a P-Split to the amp front in, or mentioned Ebtech at Send/Return will fix it without much pain.
-
It depends a lot on the gear involved, what kind of power you're getting, etc.
A galvanic isolator box should always be around, unless you play guitar, tubescreamer, amp. As soon as power supplies, several routes to amps, mixers, etc. are used, some kind of ground noise will probably occur.
-
Got my Helix in today. It sounds pretty amazing. But using my amp I had a ground loop. 4 CM can be a real downer when using all kinds of gear (you get these issues as well with some high end switcher loopers, no names mentioned).
I found a solution: Used a Lehle P-Split to create a galvanic isolation on the connection between Send 1 on the Helix and the Amp input. Either the Amp input, or both send and return of the FX loop need to be galvanic isolated to avoid these issues with all amps and all power situations/venues. To be honest, the P-Split or similar products, as they work passive and suck no tone, is a little pain for a clean sound. If Line6 had wanted to avoid this, they'd needed to isolate all sends, returns, ins and outs. On a unit with so many possible routings probably overkill.
Apart from that, I am pretty chuffed with my Helix, sounds rather damn well. I'm pretty sure it will replace my Gigrig/booteek FX board.
Now wee need a longer list of FX, especially more phaser models, a proper, simple pitch modulator, and some other things I'm missing from my M5/9/13.

Hmmm just a wild guess, but have you tried switching the amp without any signal/audio cables connected? Maybe signal and remote use common grounds and some ground loop causes the issue?
-
That is weird indeed. Some amps do have mixed switch modes though. My Ecstasy had latching on Boost and Loop, but momentary for Channel changes.
-
It would be good to have more. It should be done in a way that load time is only affected when the additional controllers are being used.
-
Hija,
My Helix will arrive tomorrow.
The FX loop on my amp is switchable Instr/Line level. Line with rack FX sounds better/stronger than Instr.
Can I go
Guitar => Helix Input (Instr)
Helix Send1 => Amp In (Instr)
Amp FX Send => Helix Return 2 (Line)
Helix Out (Line) => Amp FX Return
Can it be routed this way to get the best tone from my Amp?
Also: Would there be any benefit in using a Symmetrical Out (XLR=>Mono Jack with ring connected to ground) on the Amp Return route?
-
My guess is that your Mesa needs momentary switching and Helix is latching.
Some devices allow both variations and some even let you set different times for the momentary impulse.
20 minutes tweaking amps, first direct recording

Marshall Basketweave 4x12 with the EVH Greenbacks. I used the Vintage or Modern mix IRs, which number can be seen in the video.
