brue58ski Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Wow, I really like this idea, both for Helix parameter control and for my soft synths as well. Thanks for bringing this up! Had one, but I never replaced a PROM chip in it. I think I remember reading about it though. For its time, that was a great little amp. Can you imagine this being in a modern day cartoon? Man the things they used to get away with. :D Yeah, But then again, cartoons of this type were actually created to be viewed in a theater before a movie where there were often many adults. And at a time when Doctors would be in cigarette ads recommending that particular brand. Much of the humor in them was adult. That's why they are the best. It would be funny to see a My Little Pony smoking. Or horrifying. One of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradmyrick Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Is this firmware update version 2.2 available to download yet, If not, when, and is there a way for notification available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddydoodles Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Someone from Line 6 please answer this question. Does the Helix have the hardware/software capability to create an effect similar to the Digitech FreqOut feedback device? I now there are several of us who would LOVE to have that feature available. Still hoping that you will release an amp model of the Friedman BE-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLaw Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Is this firmware update version 2.2 available to download yet, If not, when, and is there a way for notification available?If you have registered you Helix, I believe that may also have placed you in the email cycle for Helix notifications. Perhaps an equally if not more prompt method, would be to check, the Line 6 Product Support and Helix Forums each day! That is where the firmware updates are first posted, and, I'm not sure how soon therafter the email notifications ensure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb7170 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have mine registered, but don't recall any email notifications on firmware updates... I keep an eye on this forum, TGP, and the software download area at Line 6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping that you will release an amp model of the Friedman BE-100. I actually ordered the Digitech. I hope they add it, a true freeze effect and a goddamn reverse reverb and TZF. Then i can replace my pedalboard completely. Glorious! Still, nothing yet. Nothing can really fake it either. You could also just install a sustainer pickup (I have one guitar with one, want them in the rest of the collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping that you will release an amp model of the Friedman BE-100. I got a Sweetwater gift card for my birthday and just pre ordered one of these to put in one of the Helix fx loops. I'll probably make a video review of it for my YouTube channel and will post here on how it works with Helix. I would LOVE if it was added in a future Helix update. However I believe Digitech said in another forum that this pedal was patent pending, so it might be a little dicy on if they can model it. Not sure how that would work? The geniuses at Line 6 could probably come up with a different method of achieving the same goal. Either way I can't wait for the new firmware update to come out. Among other many exciting things no more dragging out my USB interface for the Variax!! :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably make a video review of it for my YouTube channel and will post here on how it works with Helix. I'm absolutely holding my breath for your report. That's the first pedal that has given me GAS in the year+ since I got Helix. I'm interested in getting one to put in a Helix loop and would love to get some real world feedback (pun not intended, but not avoided either...) about how that works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacetoner Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hoping to be Freqin (Frequin?) out by the end of the month! I am a huge fan of the Fernandes Sustainer (I have three Fernadesezezezez), but I prefer my Reverends as my main guitars. If the FreqOut works well, I will be extremely pleased (understatement). I ordered mine from PGS, cos the guy (Andy) in the demo above makes me want to buy almost everything he demos. Oh, and I had a coupon for $ off :) When's the update coming out? :lol: Cheers!

Patrick29 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 1st Post on this forum... I check this forum daily, as of late wondering when the announcement for the new firmware is out.

jshimkoski Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I just updated http://helixhelp.com to be current with the upcoming version 2.20 release (a bit preemptive but I figured I'd rather have it ready to go now as I'm guessing the official firmware release is just a few days away). I've also made some behind the scenes adjustments that should make the overall page loading time extremely zippy. In most cases it should just be a couple of milliseconds. Anyway, I have a bit more free time now and a renewed focus on developing a more robust version 2 of the site. If you have any ideas you'd like to see, feel free to send me a message.

BAmartin Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks for the update on the Helix help site... Kinda a good way to put some friendly pressure in order to get the firmware update next week... hehe ;) . On the other hand... I found that you put the Line 6 Badonk in the bass amps section... and as far as I know this amp is a Triple Rectifier with a Rivera Los Lobottom sub cab... It belongs to the guitar category, though... And you put no info regarding the modded version of the Arion SCH-Z, the Wounded Paw overdive and the Darkglass distortion... I´ve seen plenty of videos and information around... Anyway, your site is wonderful and a trully reliable source of information regarding all the models available in the Helix... Not gonna preach, not a priest... I´m also anxious to get the 2.20 update and willing to bleed my neighbours with the Line 6 Badonk. We already know from DI that there´s a 2.30 coming on its way with more models and fixes. Keep up the good work!!!!

jshimkoski Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Ah, thanks for catching that. I've updated the amp section and moved the Line 6 Badonk to the guitar list. And yep, I haven't updated all of the info on the new models just yet but will be doing so within the week of the official firmware release.
