I'm thinking that I'll have to do the same…
the worry though is comp + dirt = noise = harder input gate settings
not yet… I'll put it on the to-do list..
changing one tone into another by assigning various block parameters to controllers
not to be confused with cross-fading two different tones <- which sounds crap
from what I've found, the Helix don't get remotely close to the Axe-FX..
the Axe-FX seems to me to be considerably more powerful
also, the Helix chains have far fewer slots than the Axe-FX grid
Maybe it came from discussion about block limits - on the Axe FX there are limits on the amount of identical block types in the same patch, but with XY most people seem to get on ok in terms of patches and switching. I know Drew found it restrictive since he tends to go for a lot of delays, and the Helix (I think) lets you run as many as the DSP will allow.
It is interesting to hear you've hit the DSP limit on the Helix. I'm assuming it doesn't do X/Y switching - so in reality you're running 3 amps in the patch at all times, rather than 2 on the Fractal (with the third being on X/Y). I wonder if it's something that can or will be implemented in future Helix firmware upgrades
Yeah. It's just a different approach really. I've got 4 delays in my main patch, two of which are on a parallel path which I bring in with an expression pedal and they then feed into the front of the other two. Basically I've got a 'screaming delay feedback' type of thing going on.
You can hear it in action at 2:35 in this video:

You can't get it from a single pedal.
Sorry for the slight hijack Clarky!!
they're numbered.. AMP1, CAB2, GEQ4, PHA2, VOL3 etc
so the limit is not a DSP thing, it's a limitation of what's available to choose from..
that said… most block types support X/Y so you have double availability on the grid
from what is available you can keep loading until you see CPU hit about 90%
after 90% you may start getting performance issues..
that said.. you can make huge presets with all kinds of complex cabling around the grid
iirc, Drew's issue with the Axe was the amp modelling more than anything else
seems to me that he has this issue with all modellers.. which is why he uses real amps and 4CM
you're right, I'm using 3 individual amps in the Helix whereas in the Axe I run 2 with one of them X/Y
so we both know that the Axe won't load 4 individual delays..
but you can run 2 with X/Y
and if you need loads of delays you can load the 10-tap
but… you know all this already.. lol..
noooo prob… all valuable insights..
I used snapshot to control the panning and levels of paths 1a and 1b and so managed to do away with 3 vol/pan blocks
Are you going to be trying the Helix through your live cab set up?
That'd be an interesting comparison for sure, especially with regards to feel
