Go ahead and laugh at how dirty my Helix looks in the comments ...

This is a game changer for me. Didn't even realize this existed and it solves exactly what I'm trying to solve: swapping quickly from clean to distorted and back without having to tap dance back and forth while also singing/playing etc. Thanks for this!

It SLICES; it DICES; it CHOPS; it JULIENNES; it CLEANS UP IN ONE WAIT there's MORE!@! WOW Steve the Helix is becoming a crazy complex piece of machinery. Great stuff for those who need it.

Haha, it’s loved not dirty! Thanks for the quick tip.

[zackgrail]

Thaaaank you. Was wondering how to do that

[ZaryaMain]

On the bottom row of the preset, why do you have the last two blocks on a split path instead of just in line? I see this often with people's presets and I'm wondering if I'm missing some reasoning behind it.

[JohnSpo]

What mode are you in as far as preset/stomp, preset/snapshot in the global settings goes? I haven’t updated yet, but read you can now assign anything like a stomp, preset, or snapshot to any footswitch in any mode. Is that true?

[GriffGTRStudios]

Thanks Steve excellent information appreciate it, did you use the Helix to make the background music LOL

Hi Steve, i am using LT in 4 snap/4 stomps mode. What i d like to do is to make totally independent the 4 stomps from the snapshots. For example if i decide to tap a modulation on a stomp i'd like that this modulation be active during i change the 4 snapshots but if i turn the stomp off the modulation must disappear on all the snapshots. This could let me to leave snapshots as "dry" amps and add mods or delay or a boost with stomps. It is possible to do? Thanks!

[pauladavis]

Love the videos! Do you know how to turn off the touch feature? The global command - footswitch - Touch Select became Stomp Select. Thanks again for the great videos1

[viojesus]

Can you explain this - how did you get (what looks like) Fx Block Bypass/Enable switches, or stomp switches in the BOTH the top and bottom rows? I can not seem to do that? PLEASE EXPLAIN?!?
You can not set Fx Block bypass/enable functionality in the Command Center. In the Global Settings - you can not select or make 'ALL' foot switches to stomp mode (correct?), and then use Command Center to override some of those stomp mode switches with Snapshot (engagement) or Preset (engagement) or Preset or Bank Up/Down. I am confused on how you got "what looks like" - stomp or Fx Bypass/Enable switches in both the top and bottom rows. Thanks for your videos!!

Don't have my Helix here to experiment, but does this mean with the new features you could put two snapshots on one switch?

So if I use a clean and ambient snapshot could I toggle between them without using two switches? I think I'm wishing that it would do more than it does in this instance.

2:20 "Pay attention here." That was frightening. How did you know my phone bleeped?

[jonathanotrujillo]

Hi it's me again hahaha. Does it have the TAIL sound feature when switching effects and banks like the headrush ?

[havebenthere]

It's a shame when you go from fuzzy to clean snapshot that your Helix doesn't self clean the fuzzy lint off. LOL
