That’s a very cool find. I’m going to try a play with those settings.

Just asked for Pino Palladino fretless sound from Paul Young's records. I shall have a play with the settings it's provided and see how it turns out.

Apologies if this has already been asked! But in preset mode, is there a way to get the footswitch icons to display the name of the preset and not the code?

I’m sure by default it shows the preset number above the name? If not possibly one of the Global footswitch settIngs has been changed?
 

It’s explained in the Helix manual. Page 12 in the 3.80 version.

I'll take a look, thank you!

 

Bought the unit second hand from what I'm assuming was a pink Floyd tribute as every preset slow was a Floyd song, quite impressive really!

Fine if you want Gilmore tones. Or Guy’s? Easy enough to change though. And plenty of help here if you need it.

I have a question about my Helix LT. I've just had a flight case built for my Helix LT. I want to put velcro on the bottom of the Helix to fix it to the case. Is it possible to remove the rubber feet without compromising the fixation of the bottom plate to the device? 

[Wombat]

If it’s in warranty I’d probably leave it as you could invalidate that. I had my helix open a couple of times when it was like 3 years old and as far as I recall the feet were not completely necessary.

I think I’d find something thick enough to make up the gap.

Someone here 3D printing fixtures that replaced the feet and allowed the Helix the be screwed to the wooden base of a pedal board case.

Just thought I'd mention that Line 6 have updated the manual for both the Stomp and HX Edit to 3.80 (@Wombat has mentioned it above but just in case people missed it). Also, v3.82 of HX Edit is out.

[Skybone]

POD Go v2.50 has been released.

 

Will mine update later after work.

 

2 new bass amps, 2 new bass cabs, a new bass wah & the Noble pre-amp model.

Sorry in advance if this has been asked/covered before. 

 

Does anyone have any tips on using a parallel signal path for a clean blend with the guitar overdrives? 

 

My current signal chain is compressor to signal split then a Klon and a plumes on one path and an EQ that I'm using as a clean boost on the other. The Klon is on all the time and the plumes (in op amp mode) is used to add more dirt when required.

 

I'm basically wondering if I've gone about it the most sensible way, is there a better way of boosting the clean signal so the level is the same as the dirty? 

 

 

[Wombat]

Hola,

 

Can I ask which bit of kit you are using? The signal flow is different on each device.

My bad! The HX stomp XL

You probably don't need the eq to boost the clean path. The merge block where the split paths rejoin has a mixer so you can balance the two signal paths.

 

Also, try experimenting with different types of split. The crossover split (set to around 200hz) is quite useful for certain drive models to retain a clean low end.

Thanks! I hadn't noticed the mixer in the merge block. That'll stop the clean sound being colored at all.

 

I'll have a look at the other splits too. Sending just highs to the dirty bit could be interesting.
