It’s the way of the forums. It seems to mostly bother those that don’t have it, or ever intend to have it, rather than those that have it and just get on and use it.

I wonder if the Pod Go will take over at the lower end. Although I’m never keen on presets, it looks like the big boys got a lot of new ones. Some seem like they might be interesting. Ive only got Native left now, but that seems to have got almost everything new. Edited November 27, 2020 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the RH450 is the single worst sounding amp I’ve ever had the misfortune to use on a gig doesn’t mean I have the remotest interest about whether other people like them or not.

There's a volume pedal block on each path as i find it useful to switch these on and off to hear what each path contains. Amp Tone'z.hlxUnavailable amptonez.mp3 250.34 kB · 62 downloads Just picking up on the excellent post above which appeared right at right at the start of this thread from Mr Gisser. The cool thing that I hadn't spotted that is available post update 2.90 is that we now can also split the signal by playing dynamics / how hard you're striking a note [5.45 of the YT clip below] as well as frequency crossover. That could have a lot of interesting applications and seems to me to be a very cool feature. @PatrickJ has recently introduced me to this guy - I really like the clarity of his tutorials and they're not too long either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The new pitch shifter is excellent. Finally dialed in a great pseudo 8 / 12 string dUg inspired sound. Very impressed. 4 Snapshots all set up - including being able to turn off the 'octave strings' when needed. Rhythm Guitarists - you are no longer needed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried updating yesterday and my PC only decided to reboot on its own part way through the task. You can imagine. The Helix didn't like that at all and ended up with the dreaded "Boot error, entered update mode" and that was it. Wouldn't do a thing. "Oh my goodness" I said and went away for a bike ride to calm down. Came back much calmer and found a video from Chad Boston who, very calmly, explained how to sort it and it worked first time. The Helix lives again. Phew. Edited December 6, 2020 by BassBus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there were two patches for 2.5 within a few days of 2.5 being released. Makes me wonder about their testing process. Good that they are on the case, but still......

There’s always going to be bugs. And there will always those that don’t come up in tests. The real test is how quickly you can respond and issue a patch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most things get updated over time etc, L6 gear is no different, but my point is its pretty much a fixed system, its not like there are lots of different configurations etc, they must have tried it out on at least each model but missed it. I have no issues with bug fixes etc, but i cant see how it wasnt flagged earlier, and with the same happening to the 2.5 release (two fixes in 48 hours IIR). it just seems disappointing. Not that it effects me at all of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
