daddydoodles Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Albeit the Helix is fairly easy to learn and navigate, I hope Line 6 provides the support for owners by putting together some tutorial videos on covering some of areas that are weakly covered in the User manual. There are a lot of nuanced items that are not that intuitive to figure out without some guidance. Luckily, Glenn DeLaune has some good videos on YouTube that are helpful and he answered a couple puzzling questions that i had. Kudos to Glenn. I think the Helix is an amazing piece of gear just like my Mac is an amazing computer (sorry Windows lovers), but some guidance would be helpful to show the customer base what the thing can really do. I have been using multi-effects pedals for several years all the way back to the Roland GP-8. With everyone of them, I found that the manufacturers were always weak on documentation and instruction. There was a lot more for the HD500 than most. Don't get me wrong, I love the Helix. When it was announced, I thought i will NEVER pay that much for a MFX pedal. HOWEVER, after hearing it at Sweetwater Gearfest, I was sold and knew it have to be mine. I use it in a worship setting and have abandoned use of any on stage amplifiers. Strictly into the board and folded back. It sounds amazing. I have read what some the detractors (lovers of the Kemper and AxeFx) have said, but I think Line 6 really hit a home run with the Helix in bang for the buck. That is just my own no so humble opinion. I will love the Helix even more if Line 6 takes the next step to provide some instructional videos. Maybe somewhat like QSC did for the TouchMix digital mixers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There is some good stuff on YouTube, but I think you'll see fewer tutorials for this than other products because once you learn the interface, it's so easy to learn. I was more comfortable with Helix after a couple hours than I was with the HD 500 after a week. Now I feel like I know every nook and cranny of it.
