la bam Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Has everyone updates their software too? As soon as you do - whoosh - instant tuners! That's another pedal gone. Quote

la bam Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Depending on what software you have (I've just upgraded to the one that's a few months old) you'll get a tuner flashing red on footswitch 3. From there you have a few options of what type of tuner to choose from. Oh, and they're just 'normal tuners. There's no miracle instant tune etc Edited March 5, 2019 by la bam Quote

For a minute I thought I’d missed something huge! Searching all over the internet and FB groups Quote
la bam Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Haha, sorry no, there's no miracle tune yet I'm afraid! some units are sold with old software on, hence the nudge to upgrade. Quote

Ah, yes. Makes sense. The new tuner features were most welcomed by the Helix community at release. It’s very good. Quote
GisserD Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 2.8 is on the horizon aswell. Im led to believe this brings a lot extra to the bass guitarists. Quote

They have gone down a bit recently - when something comes in everyone has to buy it so it keeps the price up, then when it has calmed, it settles at a lower price. If I was looking for one now I would wait until the end of the month Quote

CameronJ Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I forgot about the SVT4! Thanks for the reminder Quote

Muppet Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 16 hours ago, Jack said: I'm not an Ampeg aficionado, is there anything special about that one? I had a real one for a few years. It's got a switchable graphic EQ (so pseudo two channel) as well as the regular Ampeg controls, compressor and bi amping capability. In real life it got huge headroom and a cleaner sound than the SVT. I'd rather they'd gone for something else as that'll be the third Ampeg amp as well as the Scrambler (and Sansamp if you consider that does a SVT type sound). You'd have thought Line6 have got some sort of tie-up with Ampeg...:😉 1 Quote
Mercury Rising Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Just pulled the trigger on one of these babies. It's got me thinking about a whole new way of setting up for a gig. Would it be feasible to plug the HX Stomp into a powered bass speaker, something like a Headrush FRFR-108, then from the Headrush into FOH? 1 Quote

Or straight into FOH and use the Headrush for your monitor mix from the desk. Or bin the headrush and just use the house monitors. Or send separate signals to the headrush and to FOH if you wanted a more amplike sound on stage but a cleaner feed to FOH. Or send clean and effected signals to FOH and then have whatever mix as required out front and in the monitors.. etc etc - It's pretty flexible Quote

I used an Alto TS312 as foldback (same spec as the Headrush 112) with the HX Stomp straight into the desk. Worked a treat. Edited March 7, 2019 by NoirBass Quote
walshy Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Well, Had a quick hours blast of it this afternoon, blimey I think if I get the hang of setting it up right, it'll replace my whole pedalboard! Early days but, its very good indeed! 1 Quote
