dorialo Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi all , I tried to find a (pre) delay setting on the vibrato and/or tremolo effects , but still not found it. On my keyboard i have guitar sounds with this and it really sounds great , the tone starts normal and after an adjustable time , the vibrato or tremolo comes in and i would like this to have that on my guitar too (it does also spare the whammy bar and tuning). is there already a way to do that and i missed it , and if not , is it a big problem to create such a thing for line6 helix with already existing tremolo and/or vibrato effects? thnx in advance dorialo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty42 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I don't know of any way to do it with a single pedal, but here's one way you can do it with an autoswell and a tremolo block. Adjust the 'attack' parameter on the autoswell to change the amount of time before the tremolo fades in. Delayed_Trem.hlx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorialo Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thank you for responding I will try it this way , but i still think it is strange the helix hasn't a delay on the tremolo and/or vibrato which i prefer and hope line6 will add. anyway thnx for your time and efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorialo Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Dear qwerty42 , Well i tried the patch a minute ago and played with the settings a bit , but the problem with this patch is that once the tremolo starts on the first note the next note will start at once tremoloed in stead of delayed , see my point ? Thats why it has to be in the tremolo and vibrato i guess. Anyway thank you again for trying to help ! much appriciated dori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to an extent, I don't think you'l ever get exactly what you want here, if you're comparing it to a keyboard. A keyboard has a distinct trigger of each note -- when you press a key -- which makes it simple for an effect to delay a certain amount for every note you play, because it knows exactly when that note started. It's not the same with a guitar, where the only thing that identifies the start of a note is the (sometimes subtle) volume and frequency change relative to the note before it. In short, it's much harder to make every note you play on guitar behave the way you're asking, unless you're muting every string before you pick the next, and in fact I'm not aware of any guitar effect that does quite what you're asking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorialo Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 You probably 100 percent right , it is indeed the trigger problem which we dont have on a keyboard indeed (key-on signal) , well thats a pity for me , but hey life goes on :) . But thnx anyway for your help and your idea with the autoswell , i wasn't aware of that option either yet , and it is also a wanted option dori 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
