Need more DSP for Helix Floor

[m_lance]

I'm sure this has been posted already but a quick search didn't find anything.  I love my Helix Floor but my presets are out of DSP.  I play in church and normally use one guitar and one preset per service.  I use it in 10-stomp pedalboard mode.  My presets are maxed out.  I've got mono everything into the amp and stereo after with stereo cabs BUT I don't have enough DSP to add stereo amps.

 

I'm admittedly partial to the newer and more DSP-heavy blocks but I REALLY want stereo amps.

 

So maybe you don't want to make a Helix 2.  Can you at least make a Helix 1.5 that has upgraded DSP chips with more power?

Thanks!

Why? Seems to me the obvious answer is to use multiple presets during the service.

Hi,

 

I would think that it’s not so much a question of DSP, but more a question of planning. Also, when you say “stereo” amp, I guess you mean “dual” amps, as the amps in Helix are mono.

 

This sort of thing has been discussed previously - check out some of the comments here:-

 

Also, when I mentioned planning -check the reply from Digital_Igloo in this thread.

 

Rather than staying on a single preset, consider setting up different presets for different sections.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Afterthought!

 

Simple enough solution to adding extra DSP to your Helix - just go and buy a HX Stomp and stick it into one of the FX Loops. That should do it.

 

And as for your suggestion for a Helix V1.5 or v2 , you should be aware that this is a user group so there are no Line 6 staff here, and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”).

 

This link is where you need to go to have any hope of your suggestion been seen by anyone from Line 6:

Before posting any  new ideas, please do a search to see if it's already been listed. Multiple requests for the same thing will thin out the votes. Also, post your ideas one at a time. Many users don’t vote for combined suggestions.

 

Then you should use the “pinned thread” in this forum to let other users know what your suggestions are, with links to IdeaScale, so they can vote on it if they wish.

 

Hope this helps
