Poor delays in Helix

I think the hexil is a great unit, GREATS AMPS SIMULATIONS!!!

 

but They are missing some essential things like delays, where is digital delay with modulation?

 

Another think is how to clone a tc2290, a sdd3000 or a eclipse?

 

Helix has a lot of potential but line6 has a long road ahead.

 

 

Another think to improve is to have presets references , for example to do simmer.

I think the delays are some of the better effects. There's quite a few that have integrated modulation of some kind:

 

Mod Chorus Echo: chorus or vibrato or off

Dual delay: chorus, vibrato, off

Multi Tap 4: chorus, vibrato, off

Sweep Echo (my favorite): filter (low, band, or high, with adjustable shape, rate, start frequency, range, resonance, and duty cycle)

Reverse Delay: chorus, vibrato, off

Transistor Tape: wow/flutter

Adriatic Delay: there's rate and depth controls for something

Elephant Man: chorus or vibrato (can control depth)

Thanks for your replay, but you are wrong, pod hd 500x has more delay types.

 

Is essential a  digital delay with mod (chorus or vibrato),  Mod Echo is not the same. Ducket without modulation is not ok.

 

I prefer 3 types of delays with multiples settings.

 

Types: echo, digital or ducked.

Settings: mod, drive, flutter, etc.

 

Infinity possibilitys and more versatil.

My count is 19 delays for the HD 500, versus 12 for Helix. Out of those for the HD 4 are doubled up, calling one Tube Echo, and Tube Echo dry. So if you didnt count those doubled then its more like 15. 3 more than Helix. If your a delay guy I guess its winner winner chicken dinner...  ;)

Th delays sound good in Helix, but could be better.

I use Korg A2 for delays, since I think they sound 'clear-er'. The modulation inside delays in Helix is a bit disappoint to me. That's why I keep using Korg A2 for delays when playing some of the U2 songs which you need really defined delays sounds. But for other stuff, it's more than enough!
