Digital_Igloo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It'd probably add $200-250 to the box, without the transmitter, which would be another $199. Are people willing to pay that sort of premium for built-in G70-level wireless? On the upside, each preset could instantly switch channels/guitars and cable tone, so that'd be cool. My wish list for Helix 2 is bigger than yours. :P 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterHamm Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think the next step should be DOWN.I mean, L6 has some really great solutions for guitarists in the 500 and under category. They also have, now, this amazing product at 3+X the price. What about a 700 - 900 dollar HX-inspired device for the in-between? Or an "HX x00"... like an HD 500 but with a single Helix signal path with maybe HD FX models instead of HX to maximize dsp usage. I could be nuts and your product research might tell you that customer doesn't exist... what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was built-in, it would have more protection. And of course, it doesn't have to be top notch G70...a G30 would be sufficiant. No need for more than 6 channels and 30 meter.

toasterdude Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 External wireless VDI, please. I get that it will not sell tons but dream rig is not a dream until you can use it wirelessly. I think more big tours would implement variax and Helix if they could change guitar models and tunings via Helix without being tethered within 25 feet of the helix.

No power....no leds etc. Could maybe repair it, but probably not worth the hazzle, so I bought new ones. Picked up a G50 now. More sturdy.

artkingjw Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 For me, I'm hoping a future generation Helix 2.0 or equivalent, with further improved modeling of both amps and effects can allow a 'advanced user' option. This can be hidden away in the settings, and, I think realistically only used on your phone or computer interface. This can unlock some of the following abilities: - Separate pre and power amp, cab and mic blocks, to allow Frankenstein monster solutions, as well as signal chain routing options - Tonnes of adjustable parameters (one of the videos said that they got to the stage where they can adjust the sag of each individual tube?) - something like that - Advanced tone stack tweaking - Build your own amp, somehow.... to take a stab at amp profiling, maybe... it won't be easy... - Proportionally more memory to support all of that custom tweaking, as well as the inevitable model packs - A super powerful global eq That is my fantasy for now haha.

VicKlonin Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I hope this is the correct thread to post my request for an addition to the current Firmware version 1.06.5. If this is not then I would appreciate someone pointing me to the correct thread & repost this request. The current choices when setting the MIDI patch map is set under GLOBAL SETTINGS>DISPLAYS>PRESET NUMBERING & there are only two choices 01A-32D 000-127 I currently use 001-128 map in my sequences when playing live because the patch numbering scheme is easier to follow rather than transposing the numbers within the midi sequence. If you use the 000-127 then your patches start with 0 (ZERO) & end in 9 (NINE) per bank of 10 whereas the 001-128 scheme is easier to view/follow since the patches start with 1 (ONE) & end with 10 (TEN). Based on this I would like to see a third option that would automatically transpose the scheme to 1 thru 10 rather than 0 thru 9. 01A-32D = 4 patches per bank . . . A,B,C,D x 32 000-127 = 0 thru 9 . . . 10 patches per bank 001-128 = 1 thru 10 . . . 10 patches per bank I know this isn't a real big deal but it's things like this that make it easier to match a users current workflow & solve the problem within seconds rather than hours & days of modification in the sequence. Thank you LINE 6 you've done a fabulous job on this beast! I love my new rack! Just received it yesterday & am having a blast!

VicKlonin Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 OK here's a couple of effects that I have used in the studio to enhance audio & think it would be nice to have access to them for the guitar. So, how about adding a BBE Sonic Maximizer & an Aphex Aural Xciter pedal to the effects blocks. Both of these effects add the clarity to any guitar.

StruckingFuggle Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 For those of us that already own loop switches and effects galore, that already have pedalboards they like, but would like a small “strymon sized†amp modeler with midi selectable patches. Two TRS pre/post loops, single expression pedal input. Single path would be ok. Helix is way too big for a pedalboard with external effects. It’s either Helix with nothing, or my pedalboards with amps. Something in the middle would be great.I love the Eventide editor app on my iPad, iPhone, and Mac. I’d be just fine with something like that for a sub-Helix (Sublix? Trademark!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
