Snapshot question

[deiseldave]

Hello,

 

I'm a new Helix LT user (previous Pod XT) and am having a hard time working through a snapshot issue. For example, I created a "Bridge of sighs" patch with volume, wah, eq, Uvibe, drive, amp/cab, delay, reverb on a user bank. Set global switches to "Stomp/Snap". Assigned drive to stomp switch 1, eq to stomp switch 2, tried to set up Snapshot switch 1 (verse) as eq off, Uvibe->drive->amp/cab->delay->reverb on, Snapshot 2 (chorus) switch off drive, Snapshot 3 (lead) switch drive back on and also switch on pre-drive "tilt" eq as boost. No workie.

After doing every version of what I think should work, one or more of the snapshots is not saved correctly. Either Snap 2 (chorus) still has drive on, or or Snap 1 (verse) has drive off, or lead has eq on but drive off.

I've tried setting snapshot edits to either recall or discard. Ensured I'm on the right snapshot before toggling effects on or off, tried not saving, pressing save twice after each change to a snapshot. I've tried every combination I can come up with. No matter what I do, when I go to one of the other snapshots, it's wrong...

I've read for hours on it, and watched YouTube explainations of how to do it. But I must just be too stupid. Can anyone advise on whatever the noob thing I'm doing wrong is? By the way, I have 3.01 loaded.

 

Thanks in advance for help.

Set Snapshot edits to DISCARD. This forces you to REMEMBER to save the preset after each Snapshot Edit, eliminating the possibility of a faulty RECALL function (unlikely).

Right click each FX Block and verify that SNAPSHOT BYPASS is CHECKED (default).

 

Go to Snapshot 1.

Set each FX Block to the Bypass state required for that Snapshot.

SAVE the Preset.

 

Go to Snapshot 2.

Set each FX Block to the Bypass state required for that Snapshot.

SAVE the Preset.

 

Repeat for all 8 Snapshots.

Return to Snapshot 1.

SAVE the Preset.

 

Check each Snapshot in turn.

EDIT: If it's still not working, perform a Factory Reset.

If it's still not working, attach your preset to your reply.

There's a .001% possibility that your Helix is defective.

I'm away from home and Helix, so I can't check to verify, but I'm sure that someone else here will do it.

Hi Dave,

 

Follow the instructions in the above post from “rd2rk”, and if you need to perform a factory reset - here ya go.

 

Helix Floor/LT: Turn unit off and then back on. Hold in Footswitches 9 +10 right after you turn the unit on, throughout the boot process, until you see that your factory presets are loading.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thanks guys. I did a factory reset, and it is behaving now. Thanks again for the help.
