I cured my pedal GAS

TimmyOTimmyO Frets: 7349
I'm calling it - I haven't yearned for anything for long enough now that I appear to be over it.

I never thought it would happen, but then I never thought I'd go down the modeller route. As a large purchase ironically it is saving me a fortune. 
Red ones are better.

    I've not bought any guitar amp or FX stuff since getting an Axe FX 2.

    However I've bought a bunch of bass preamps. Not because the Axe FX doesn't do good bass sounds but because Darkglass really nailed plug and play with their Ultra pedals. I also like analogue octaves and the analogue octave model in the Fractal glitches too much for my liking.

    I went with Helix - just appealed to me from a UI point of view. 

    I love that (with most of these units) rather than think 'what pedal can I add to achieve a thing' you can think 'which of every parameter in the chain can I assign to this one switch so that they all change to do a thing' Awesome.

  • Amazing stuff, it's a liberating experience!

    @guitarfishbay, I feel the same about the pitch algo. It's the only thing that leaves me wanting...that and a shimmer reverb! :-/

    They've said that 2.3 will include some new models - I think they've heard enough talk of people wanting sexier reverbs  that they will come at some point.

  • @TimmyO that's good news, though my complaint was about the Fractal. Be really interested to hear the pitch and new reverb algos in the Helix.

    Any idea on timescale for the next update?

    Nope. The *next* update will be around marrying-up with the Helix Native (software version) release so will be a 2.2x kind of thing. Then 2.3 after that will add models (not known what)
