sulkbooth Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 DI mentioned that future Helix FW will have a completely new level of Variax integration (not seen before in any product or at any other product) What is it? :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulkbooth Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 I've seen more action in a discussion thread.... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nobody knows, except for Line 6. And apparently they aren't saying anything else at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulkbooth Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 I know the drill regards to that, but there's hasn't been any speculation either. I'm trying to get my head around what it could be ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Oh, well.... If we're speculating...... HELIX will replace Workbench. It will be included in the next public (not beta) release of the HELIX editor, hence no need to ever upgrade HELIX to become a Workbench interface. All Helix presets will be able to store up to five Variax models, just like one of the Custom model banks on a Variax. You will be able to assign HELIX footswitches to control model selection within a preset. No more messy handling of the pickup selector switch. 😎😀 Anybody else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 OK, that may be slightly hyperbolic... ;) It's pretty cool, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Oh sheesh, you guys are really trying to kill our buzz. How 'bout we all sit tight and lower our expectations?

silverhead Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Oh, alright. No more speculating about free wireless features replacing the VDI cable, including wireless power transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Igloo Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Oh, alright. No more speculating about free wireless features replacing the VDI cable, including wireless power transmission. We need at least ONE person to say "Yes, I'll pay $999 for wireless VDI" to keep our hopes up... So far, crickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yes, I'll pay $999 for wireless VDI ( as long as I get heel down wah off updates on the Mission pedal).... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glideman Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 2nd the heel off wah.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecgriffo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 string pitch changes for older variax models would be nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0stenning Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 They could just allow the HELIX to store ALL the parameters for custom Variax models in a HELIX patch so that each patch can include a totally unique customised JTV body, neck, pickup set etc etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterdude Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 We need at least ONE person to say "Yes, I'll pay $999 for wireless VDI" to keep our hopes up... So far, crickets. I will pay $1,495 and buy two. Add that to you and you have three ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterdude Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I will pay $1,495 and buy two. Add that to you and you have three ;-) I am pretty sure my first x wire digital wireless was over 700 bucks back in the 90s. It just did one guitar signal but no noise, sounded like a cable. I know you guys dug it as you bought them a few years and companies later. Plus think of how many extra batteries you'll sell! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
