Please note... you still get trails within the SAME preset.
You *can* assign a switch to multiple blocks at once, whilst also sending out up to 6 midi messages at the same time. So that does give you a lot of flexibility.
What isn't yet known - or at least I don't know if it is - is whether you can set up the switches to *only* set a block to a certain state. So for example, if you want one switch to always turn off a block, regardless of whether it is on or not.. I don't know if you can do that. If you can *only* set up the switching to toggle a block, then that means my scenario from before where I am bringing in effects depending on what channel I am on will not work.
Effectively what I'm after is a 'min' and 'max' value for the switching. So I can have one switch always set a tubescreamer to OFF, and another switch to always set it to ON... whilst also switching my amp channel via midi in the background. This means I can tighten up the high-gain channels of my amp, and not affect the uber-cleans on the clean channel.
Within a preset then you could have more than 1 delay that could be switched in and will trail?
So could have one button set up as a a solo channel which kicks in amp channel and TS and 2nd delay within a preset? (Effectively a multiple effect/parameter select assigned to 1 button)
1. Assign a switch to one or more delays and activate and bypass them.
2. Put delays on one of the paths, and assign a switch to A/B between two paths.
4 cable method with my Diezel D-Moll.
Four switches across the bottom setup to change the channels of the D-Moll via midi program changes, whilst at the same time enabling or bypassing a tubescreamer or boost model, to give me the four levels of gain that I look for - clean, crunchy clean, chunky rhythm, high-gain rhythm and solos.
Eventide H9 in one of the loops to cover me for effects that the Helix doesn't yet do.
Have a phaser, two delays, and a reverb on the switches across the top row.
Have the preamp signal from the Diezel D-Moll go to it's own path in parallel to the main path. Have a cabinet IR on this path. Route the path to it's own output. Have this output go to IEM's so that I can monitor my playing without relying on the FOH. Would also allow me to keep the stage levels low.
Route a vocal microphone into the Helix on it's own path. Process my voice with compression, a bit of dirt and delay, and feed from it's own output directly to the FOH. Also try to route to my IEM's.
I just hope I can do all that within one preset!
Looks like I'll be going for a very different setup to either Drew or Welshboyo, so I'll probably get some vid demos up of the interface once it ships.
^ Quite likely @Mellowsun! The interface is the key selling point here for me, I've been happy enough with modellers for quite a while now but hadn't found a unit that I could setup in the precise way I wanted other than the NI Guitar Rig Kontrol interface. My main problem with that is that it was tied to my laptop and couldn't be used independently.
If I haven't got the hang of the interface within the return period then I'll end up sending back the one I've bought, regardless of how it sounds.
*edit* Ordered mine through Andertons due to the 0% (to make it easier to swallow), and the unexpected bonus of having an entire £4 knocked off from some old points I'd acquired there!
