Legacy effects models vary in behavior, just as on the classic Line 6 effects from
where these models originated.
• Legacy Distortion, Dynamics & Pitch/Synth effects are mono.
• Legacy Modulation & Delay effects vary in that some are mono, some stereo,
and some mono-in/stereo-out, where adjusting the effect's Mix parameter
can narrow the stereo image that is fed into them. It is best to experiment
with these effects and tweak the Mix parameter to achieve the desired stereo
output results.
• Legacy Filter and Reverb effects are stereo.

Some Notes On the original Reverbs and Wahs in Helix.

 

Digital Igloo on The Gear Page

 

June 12th 2015

At launch, all reverb models are based on HD models, but rebuilt in HX. They sound notably better in Helix tho'. Eight of the ten wahs came from HD as well. All other FX models were created from scratch in HX.

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/line6-helix.1586637/page-3#post-20130691

 

july 2nd 2015

We felt that two HX wahs weren't enough, and the eight HD wah models were fairly simple to rebuild in HX (unlike models in other categories).

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/line6-helix.1586637/page-26#post-20226571

 

 

April 8th 2016

The only reason we ported 8 out of 10 wahs and the reverbs from HD (everything else is built from scratch in HX) is because we simply ran out of time. Ideally, everything in Helix would've been brand new. I'm not morally opposed to porting M-Class/HD models to HX, but we'd much rather make new stuff.

The Reverbs and eight of the ten wahs are HD models rebuilt within the HX engine. We also rebuilt Doom, Epic, and Elektrik, but they're favorite custom hybrids that, IIRC, utilize some HX components—will have to confirm?

Nice compilation.

Just to note, even though there's a lot of overlap between HD and HX effects, it's probably not a good idea to automatically assume the HX version is better. A couple of examples might be the script mod phase and the tube driver. To me, the HD versions sound better. And in particular, the HD script mod phase doesn't thin out the tone nearly as much as the HX. There could be others...

Are there any plans to add the Boost+EQ booster (line6)?

This is a user forum... the "official" folks who occasionally make an appearance won't divulge the time of day. 

 

But OTOH they will describe that day for you quite well.  As in "it'll be a cold day in hell before I divulge information here, better go to TGP"... ; )

 

Thanks, Jaybee for the info!
