Glitch Delay seems to have changed its behaviour in 3.5 Hardware: Helix Floor, Helix Native Firmware: Firmware latest 3.50.0 Bug: Glitch Delay 100% pitch setting does not function correctly when interval is set to +12 In previous firmwares when glitch was set at 100% pitch and intervals set at +12 (and+12) 100% of effected slices would be repitched to +12, even as the sequence reordered itself. Now the sequence introduces unpitched (+0) slices . This only seems to happen at +12 settings, as any other interval (e.g +11) and expected behaviour happens (100% of effected slices are at +11) I've tried this on both Floor and Native.

It's so that you can reach the effect you want with as few rotations of the scroll wheel as possible.

Namely, 1) recorded tracks seems to be slightly out of time for some reason? 2) intermittent bursts of static Anyone experienced similar?

The helix is designed as a practical "brain" for your whole setup, it can do this easily. For what you want though I'd get the rack helix though so you can put it all in one rack and not have cables running back and forth from helix to JMP1. Plus maybe keep the quadraverb if you want. It costs a bit more but I've seen more second hand and discounts on the rak version than other places.

Or rather, I don't understand why the swell happens BEFORE your dry signal, meaning it effects your entire signal. I thought the point of a swell delay is that it swells before your repeats, giving your REPEATS a bowed, pulsing quality but leaving your dry signal intact. I understand this is how the line 6 DL4 did it, but surely the inclusion of a seperate Autoswell block makes it redundant? if I want my whole signal to swell into a delay, I could just do autoswell block > delay block. I put it up on ideascale if anyone else agrees https://line6.ideascale.com/a/idea-v2/901294

reverbs, pitch tracking, lack of filters from the m series

I used send 1 as an output that went direct to my guitar amp for monitoring before it hit the IR slot to PA. Then I found a more effiecient way of doing it using the stereo paths. So now I use the R 1/4 out for that. Considering putting a whammy in the loop.

Just trying to get some ideas.

I mainly use the redwirez free greenback and the celestion creamback. Redwirez has more character and options but celestion sounds good and punchy with little tweaking.

I'd consider the helix rack as an option. If you're using you're octave pedals you could stick them in a rack tray then for convenience. Then you could save even more on weight if you were willing to replace both heads with single a two channel solid state power amp like the matrix. Also I've seen more discounts at stores for the rack than the floorboard.

I can't imagine using snapshots without the scribble strips to be honest.

I dont understand what the 4 osc generators "decay" parameter does. I would think it would be the time the osc would take to fade out after you turn it off, but theres just an abrubt (and unpleasant) stop.

The celestion IR's are the most "balanced" sounding IRs I've found. Drop em into a mix and they just sound nice, there are only a dozon or so of them in a pack but they're all nicely tuned. 3sigma really needed a basscut to be usable in my mixes.

I personally don't care much about 'boutique' stuff since most boutique stuff is just tweaked versions of mass market circuits anyway. A diezel would be nice, but its another variation on hi gain, I could live with the archon if I wanted something close enough. If lots of people's pedalboards have a particular pedal = get it in there. The common 'industry standard' gear should be the first to go in IMO. Look at it this way: when I bought the Helix I had a friendly argument with a fellow musician who balked at the idea of dropping over a grand on a guitar pedal. My response was "no no its cool! I replaced my entire pedalboard with it!" if I have to add the disclaimer (except for pitch effects because those aren't so good so I had to set aside another 300 to buy a POG I can patch in) that kind of weakens my argument somewhat.

There are basically 5 things I want to see in the helix then I could happily glue up the USB and never update it again. 1. Better pitch shifting 2. More filters. Basic LFO controlled, S/h, lpf, hpf stuff. 3. More reverbs. Mainly a modulated verb that stands alongside the boss rv6 or strymon flint. Reverse verb. 4. Roland space echo 5. Boss hm2 for swedeth tones

Not as many as say, wah since its a relatively new effect that was only invented in the last 10 years, but off the top of my head the White Stripes (Blue Orchid was apparantly part of a race on jack whites part to be the first person to put a POG on a song) literally every song by Royal Blood (who line 6 are obviously aware of since theres a "royal duo" preset in the helix) lots of new school indie rock (you see a lot of POGs), anyone who wants to fake downtuning their guitar for one song etc... The POG is basically a modern classic pedal. And if you play one its not *that* precise, there is a little bit of warble. I find it hard to believe the Helix wouldnt have the gas in the tank to replicate it.

Amplitube has a model. Upvote it on ideascale

I think once you're considering the H9 + midicontroller etc you're well into the point where a helix might be a reasonable idea. Also the SDD3000 is massive too.

With the park 75 for example, there's both gain and master settings. But I thought with a park the gain was all from the master?

Helix software is 2.11 firmware 2.12 I did a global reset after last update. It was working fine until a few days ago.

My helix software crashes every time I try to import an IR into the helix now. Also the helix hangs about 25% of the time I power it up, this is with usb connected though. I havent tried it yet without USB connected wnough to establish frequency

Ah yes of course https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Roland-Space-Echo/863555-23508

I put in a request for it on ideascale ages ago, upvote it. I love the space echo sound. And the RE-20. The M5 version wasn't the best though.

Any chance of some audio clips?

I have to say, more than I want new amps, I'd like the ability to have the Power amp models as seperate from the amp models. Being able to run a pre amp of my choice into a power amp of my choice would give 100x more flexibility than having another mesa boogie model or similar. (not that I wouldn't also like a mesa mark 4 or something in there)
