Thanks a lot for those instructions. I managed to get Helix Native working really well, in Ardour, using yabridge. My PC is running Manjaro applied the performance tricks described here. Performance is really good in Ardour’s using Alsa and a buffer of 256. Somehow I need a much bigger buffer when using Jack, of 1024, which introduces too much latency to do live recordings.

I managed to get sound out of my HX Stomp using kernel 5.4.0-0. The recording quality is very good but somehow the playback sound is plain horrible: lots of distortion and other artifacts. I didn't dig much into in, its great to see that it's possible to make it work :) I'll stick with my HD500X for now: I love the input versatility.

The problem you describe is exactly the one I am having. I find it happens only if you switch snapshot with the wah being auto-engaged. I have a Boss FV-500H. Yes, I tried all three settings for that parameter without luck. I have no parameter assigned to the snapshot for that wah, so I guess it should behave exactly the same way in all snapshots. I should also mention that all snapshots behave as expected if I let the auto-engage enough time to disable the wah before switching preset. It's switching while the wah is auto-engaged that messes everything. @codamedia 's tip to set snapshot to "discard" works as a workaround, but I have to press the snapshot twice. If I switch to snaphot 1 and get the inverted auto-engaged state, pressing snapshot 1 again fixes the issue. Moving to another preset and back also works as a workaround.

I have tried that an unfortunately it doesn't work. Thanks for the idea.

Hello, I came across an unexpected behavior on the HX-Stomp, and I don't know how to work around it. I have a Wah with auto-engage configured. If I switch snapshot whilst the Wah is engaged, the Wah has a reversed behavior on the newly selected snapshot: it is disabled in any position but heel down. I have tried messing with the parameters but without success. Any idea how to work around that issue?

Thanks for the feedback @velaramon, I was also considering the LT with a preamp. I ended up with a simple setup on the HD500x which works fine for now. I'm still interested in feedback from other singers.

Hello, I am a guitarist and singer in a band. I currently own a HD500x and rely on the PA effects for the voice. I need more flexibility and I am considering purchasing a Helix but I wonder if it's suited for voice effects. I owned a Voicelive 3 that was awesome for voice effects but I couldn't get any great guitar tone from it. My needs are simple : reverb, radio, light disortion, maybe a "double" effect to fatten the voice. Thanks for the help. Feedback from actual singers would be nice.
