marcowendel Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yes. You can assign more than just one function to every stomp switch. So you can switch on a tube driver and a delay for solo by kicking just one switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 From the demo I just saw you can load 32 FX (less with amp models) and then have the 8 main switches plus the 2 bank switches all available and each can do 8 separate actions - switching FX on or off OR toggling between 2 settings for a control on any of the FX units, and of course you can have 3 controllers (expression pedals) each controlling up to 8 things and if you have a JTV the Volume and Tone on that act as controllers as well... and then there is MIDI...

Yep, you can theoretically have up to 32 effects per preset. I say theoretically because unless you want 32 EQs, you probably won't hit that, but I can't imagine ever really needing near that many. Essentially, there are 4 paths in Helix, and you can have up to 8 blocks in each path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I only said it because Paul Hindmarsh showed me a patch with all 32 blocks containing something - and a variety of icons in the blocks (so quite not all EQ and volume/pan). But he wouldn't play it - saying it was only to demonstrate the potential and wasn't a practical example of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 you can even switch to a 10 stomp mode.... (which ditches bank\preset FS's) and control 10 stomps independently.... or as suggested.... have some FS's control multiples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Each preset can actually have up to 11 switches, including the EXP toe switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was caught on video too: go to 10:20 in this video - I didn't take the video, I am the person trying not to look too stupid on the right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
