wafry1975 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 ok, i'm sitting at work, and I realized there is something I haven't tried... if I was at home I would just plug in and try it... but since I'm sitting here, I know someone else knows the answer... can one set a looper block at the beginning of the chain, create a loop, then set the other blocks while the loop runs? basically allowing you to turn knobs while "someone else" is playing (the looper) I find that is the biggest slow-down for me, is with so many options, I feel like I need a clone... one to play, the other to tweak... until I find that sound in my head... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbatts Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Absolutely. It's a great way to tweak settings. And you can switch Presets while the loop is running (some conditions apply). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLaw Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You can also change to another Preset and still have the original Looper content playing in the other Preset. Just be sure that the Looper Block you define in the Presets are in the same DSP Path. In other words if the Looper Block is in Path 1A in the originating Preset, the Looper Block will need to also be in Path 1A (or Path 1B) in the other Preset. For the demoing and dialing in process you are using -- an excellent method -- you may even define several Presets in consecutive order and step from one Preset back and forward to the next and preceeding Presets so long at they all share the same Looper Block in the same DSP Path. Also the type of Looper Block must be consistent! Go with Mono or Stereo as you wish, but they must be consistent amongst the several Presets you wish to rock between and amongst.

spikey Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Another neat idea I didn't think of using Helix- great !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehzim Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have done that with my ditto looper when tweaking pedals and amp settings before I had a Helix. It's a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
