Line 6 Helix

Can you do it with a snapshot, so that the snapshot sets the impedance accordingly?

I thought the same but I don’t know if the input impedance is snapshotable (if that’s a word)

Good idea. Will have a look this morning. Problem is I’ve went back to using 10 switches pedalboard style.

That’s what I do most of the time but just switch into snapshot at the top row for certain bits then switch back to 10 on the floor
how often are you switching the fuzz on and off during a song? Is it a pedal you toggle a lot?

Been playing with the Cosmos Echo today, through the loop of my amp. First time I've really had chance to spend any time with it. This is a great delay. It surpasses the Strymon El Capistan for me, it's got a really nice tail and just feels and sounds very good blended with the hall reverb with the high cut back on the reverb.

It doesn’t get toggled at all usually lol. I just like it there for impromptu sound check Hendrix jam! Yes, I’m that guy

In which case can't you have two copies of the patch and delete the fuzz block in one of them?

Yeah totally, it’s not even a major problem, just wanted it like my pedalboard!

Any more news on the contents of the 2.5 firmware update? Will it be announced at Namm?

I read on the Helix forum that this next update could be controversial, no idea why though.

Perhaps instead of constantly adding new models Line 6 could start replacing them? The expected new reverbs would be better as replacements rather than extra models for example. I'm looking forward to hearing these.

The only couple of things I would like to see are a tweak to the CE-1 chorus, for me, the sweep doesn't quite go high enough when the rate is slowed. I would love to see the Courtesan Flanger updated to be based on the original sweeter sounding Electric Mistress rather than the Deluxe and I would love an Angry Charlie distortion.

I want the filter effects from the m-series. So, so much.

Beta folk know what's in 2.5 - and, by the sounds of it, it's going to surprise a few people.

I wouldn't want them replacing models; there aren't so many that the list is confusing (yet), and I'd rather they didn't start breaking people's patches.

The M series fx can’t use much memory compared to the Helix

No excuse for not updating and adding the effects then? The reverbs were a straight port weren't they?

Wouldn’t like to speculate but it wouldn’t be impossible

And for the record the screamer stacked into the facial fuzz was my core Frusciante drive sound for years when I did the Chillis tribute
I dont knownif it’s pure nostalgia but there was a lot to like in the M series for me

Still trying to wonder what on Earth this surprise could be. anyone have any guesses?

What could it be?

A collaboration with Gibson?
Remove of all current amps/cabs/effects models and restore back to POD 1 versions?
A Rob Chapman signature Helix with all hi gain amps and a Miku? (you know we all want that)

Doesn't interest me one bit

I'd hope to see a decent harmoniser on the Helix.....otherwise i'll just have to shell out again for a Boss PS-6. That one in the Helix is weak IMO.
