EHX Glove - again, not worth selling, it's a great pedal if I ever need it, and used market makes it worth keeping... it also pushes tube amps great, so I might try it in a helix loop sometime Boss CE-5 - same. though less useful to use with the helix.. I haven't plugged in a pedal/pedalboard or tube amp since I got the helix... I'm keeping my tube amps for now, and I can use their effects return in, and bypass the cab emulation for that 'amp in the room' thing... I wouldn't say I NEED any of them with the helix... they just aren't worth selling... the red llama is the only one that helix doesn't have something similar to... the pedal can be magical hitting the right amp... if you have an amp you find too trebly/fizzy the red llama is a fixer that makes it thick, maybe even sludgy as needed... but having 64 amps(so far) in the helix, the use for the llama is limited I sold my soul food, carbon copy, tube screamer, noise gate and a yamaha THR10x already.. my 535Q wah, Volume pedal Mini, and compressor are on ebay still. I have the HX Effects and was considering getting a Camel Toe. I had the RL 25th anniversary and sold it but missed its tones. I was able to copy all my analog pedals but not sure about the Red Llama. Figured I'd pick a CT up used and get the Rhino for not much more in one pedal. Any luck trying to copy your Red LLama?

Thark Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Keeping my Strymon pedals: Mobius Timeline Big Sky Lester K They sound better to me than the corresponding built-in effects in the Helix. Also: TS9 Freqout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malduroque Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Since I got my Helix a bit over a year ago, I've sold most of my pedals that were duplicated in Helix (OCD, DS-1, Tube Screamer, etc). I still have about 40 pedals left and going forward I'm not sure how many more I'll part with but I am certain I will keep my EQ Devices Afterneath, Transmisser and The Depths along with Digitech Freq, EHX SuperEgo Plus, Big Muff Deluxe and Pigtronix Philosopher King, Disnortion Micro and Smiletone Governor's Blues.

That's really a large selection! :-) I sold most of the pedals I used before I got my Helix. But some pedals are so unique that I'll continue to use them: - Digitech Whammy DT - Digitech Freqout - Electro Harmonix Attack Decay - brand new! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netproclaim Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I have kept my Eventide H9 Max, an EHX POG 2, an EHX Mel9 and a Roland GR-55... Hoping the Helix will have a better sounding octave up option in a future update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thauma Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 sold everything to buy the Helix LT .... except for Peterson StroboStomp(HD) KAT treble Booster (for Brian May sounds). Wish I'd also kept my BOSS Looper as it has a bit more flexibility than the Helix looper..... but I'm not complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have 2 Helixes, Floor and LT. I use them both equally. After 1.5 years, I was able to get every single sound I ever needed or will ever need on the Helix. Until recently, I used a modeling guitar to get acoustic sounds for some of my projects. But the new acoustic sim is so good, that I use my regular electric for all sounds. All sounds that you'd ever need are in the Helix. Some are difficult to tweak, some require you to convert one effect into two -- but everything is there. For example, even before the latest hot springs reverb, I came up with my own drip reverb approximation using an envelope filter with the mix turned to 15 percent + legacy '63 spring verb. That sound that I got is so good and natural sounding, that I still continue to use it, instead of the latest "hot springs" reverb. My recommendation is to ditch everything and use the Helix exlcusively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
