Just recently built a whole fancy rig with the Helix Rack. WAS on the Firehawk before, but I never looked for a good explanation on how to fly these damn digital spaceships. This video is awesome with live examples and explanations like I'm 5. Thank you for your efforts man!

Thanks for this video. I've been playing guitar for 54 of my 60 years. I recently bought a Helix as a birthday present to myself. After decades of using tube amps, pedalboards, etc., it was a bit daunting. I'm rapidly finding that the learning curve is not nearly as steep as I anticipated due in large part to great videos like this.

Extremely helpful to this newbie! Feeling much less anxiety about “playing” with it.

Thanks man!! I just bought my Helix, watched a bunch of tutorial videos and this one was by far the best.

Extremely helpful ❤
I’ve been struggling with where to place my blocks

[kevinwright]

Thanks for this. An excellent presentation in plain English - pitched just right for somebody starting out on the Helix. Well done!

If you'll allow me to join this 'parade of appreciation', I'd like to also thank you for this most excellent tutorial! Im 67 and still playing regularly, but a noob to the Helix Floor. Ive always been a Boss GT guy, but now, almost exclusely, play through the Hx.

Thanks for this - I appreciate it. I had a POD XT Live years ago, and I really liked it. Just got the Helix Floor, in an attempt to cut down on my live setup. Anyhow. Thanks again.

Watched this series and it's great because you made things so clear. I've had the Pod Go, and sort of guessed my way around, tried to watch other videos and they mostly assume you already know an effects chain. This was the first time it all really made sense to me. Thanks, Chad! (another Chad here)

Totally awesome video and easy to follow. I just bought my Helix and I needed a very basic and clear layout of how to get started. I really appreciate it.

[lordlucan]

I’m trialling helix native - just what I needed to get going as soon as possible. Many thanks!

[billa]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. And thank you for getting to the point and staying there on all your Helix videos. Your talent is rare and appreciated. Helix should be paying you, but, at the very least, your time warrants a PayPal tip. Thanks again!

[jfroines]

Just got a Helix, thank you for this series of vids!

[BillMWirth]

Awesome video. I must have watched half a dozen or more of these types and left more confused than when I started. Thanks for your quality lesson. I would like to see a video about what all the parameters do. Save us a few rabbit hole trips and go to the good stuff.

[Jaylmusembi]

Just ordered my helix and this video already got me a step ahead. Appreciate it my friend!

[johnnydollar]

Wow . Right outta the box it jumped onto the computer..thats pretty good

[absinha]

Thanks man! Great video! Finally make use of this thing!

[RyanDAmicone]

Great video. Very helpful. I just got a Helix and was looking for videos just like this. Keep it up! Thanks

I'm not a high-gain user, but I found turning off the Input Gate and playing with Impedance greatly improves the Helix experience. I was really struggling with the Helix until I figured out where the Gate was and turned it off. Instantly better.

As always, this beginner, learned something Chad!

When you spoke about DSP you stated something along the lines of "knowing how much an assigned block takes". I'd like a 101 video on that. :)

Thanks again Chad for taking your time to help us guitards! :)
