Line 6 Helix

Do the reverbs from the M series get a nod? My old POD had a shimmer verb on there and it sounded fantastic, been trying to replicate it every since and never been able to! "Octoverb", I think it was called!

Yup although the Helix has a similar one too

Nice!

I like how they've called the Friedman the "Placater" - every man and his dog had been asking for it. I didn't think they would as they've said (and I like the notion) that it gets silly with people just endlessly comparing modellers, so they were going to lean more toward interesting stuff than following the herd (eg the Cartographer - which is blinding)

Friedman! This is good!

It was Mr Igloo who posted the report I mentioned.

Ooooft that’s Glitz sounds great.

wish there was a super HD spring reverb but to be honest I quite like the 63’ that was already there

Oooh modulated reverbs = yummy

Get in. I am properly pleased about the m series effects. Well played line 6 @Digital_Igloo kudos sir!

So glad they finally added a Friedman..

Jonathanthomas83

Really surprised by all the hankering for a Friedman model (basically a Marshall right?) - I hope line 6 go back to developin g thier own "new" models as the one up to know have been excellent.

The M-series / Legacy stuff is a huge bonus. Looking forward to trying some of the filters and synth fx that @meltedbuzzbox keeps recommending

Helix is certainly a gift that keeps on giving, thanks @Digital_Igloo and team.

Now we have to see if the new reverbs allow me to move my Mercury 7 out of a helix loop and onto my pedal board!

Psyched to finally have time coming up over the weekend to actually start exploring the Helix. 

Any recommendations of ‘must try’ presets or anything? I look forward to creating my own tones in due course obviously but any highlights from the preset stuff that I should look at?

Basically a Marshall in the same way as a Marshally is Basically a Bassman
they don’t sound like Marshall’s at all (apart from maybe the clean channel)
