Lol "B Rig"!!!! Some nice units on there!

If you add it up it gets more expensive than the Helix and a lot less flexible.

I loved my pedalboard and I do like a new pedal... but live it just isn't as useable

I'm too used to the luxury of expression pedals etc

I should have taken a pic of his pedalboard
It's got a tuner, a big muff and a mark bass DI
He had a dod envelope filter but he took it off

Firmware V2.00 is now out.  Seems to have loads of stuff in it.

Including snapshots, which seem to be scenes. Nice.

Oooo! I'll have to update at the weekend!

Oooooooohhhhh

Cabicular

it is pretty cool actually

snapshots really make a difference if you like that kind of thing 

Cabicular

snapshots can be used to change parameters as well as switching stuff on and off

I've done it but I was in the middle of fixing a monitor wedge so didn't have time to flick through the new stuff much

Then when I was screwing the speaker back into the baffle I slipped and put my screwdriver through the cone

I went to bed for an angry sleep after that

Updated, but don't use the in built amps. People are saying it sounds like Line 6 have somehow made everything sound tighter as well....

I've found a couple of snags with Snapshots though:

1. My snapshot 1 has a delay block that has the time param controlled by EXP2. However, in snapshot 2, I want the delay time to be locked to a specific time; doesn't look like this is possible.

 

2. I use MIDI to connect to my JVM410HJS and change channels etc. Previously I used Program Changes but was advised to use the CC messages in Command Center (as the PC messages are not stored uniquely across setlists - so any PC messages on 01A of setlist 3 will be the same for 01A of setlist 4 etc.). However, the CC messages in Command Center on Snapshots will not let me change the CC# between snapshots - only the value.

Sporky

Could (1) be solved by having two delay blocks, one fixed and the other set by EXP2, and then switch between 'em?

Cabicular

I'm sorry I can't help with any of the midi stuff I've only done the basics so far

....I reckon so! Will try it, cheers

However, if the midi changes won't work, I can't use snapshots

i love that Line 6 has just dropped this new term "snapshot" and already its like this new lexicon... id have called it "silly sausages" or something just to fuck with people
