How to learn about blocks?

Hello,

I'm working on understanding each block on the HX Stomp XL. The names don't really resonate with me, but I can listen for what I'm trying to achieve. However, the parameters are often abbreviated, which makes it challenging. How can I find out what each parameter does for each block?

Is it assumed that I already own all the physical pedals and amps, along with their manuals for the blocks being simulated?

There is a very reasonably priced eBook available on Sweetwater called The Big Book of Helix Tips and Tricks. It is authored by a regular contributor here named Craig Anderton. I have no affiliation with him and I am endorsing, not promoting, his product. I find it to be an invaluable resource and, given your question, I think it would be a disservice to you not to mention it. Detailed explanations of all FX blocks and their parameters is just one of the many things it covers.

Hi,

 

Yet another vote for the excellent “Big Book of Helix Tips and Tricks” now on volume 1.5.

 

Also, you may find that this link is valuable resource for everything Helix.
