Helix Poly Capo Is Fantastic! Firmware 3.0

Here is a quick review of the Line 6 Helix Poly Capo effect. This is probably my favorite effect in the 3.0 firmware just because of the functionality it can provide in a live situation.

honestly the poly capo is freaking nuts. now I have all these guitars in different tunings but with the poly capo I really only need 1 lol. I was really surprised at how little delay or anything I got from it.

Nice review man! I cracked up when you turned it up high at the end of the demo lol. :)

I've been tinkering and tinkering with the damn Poly Capo and Poly Pitch blocks for so long and was wondering why things sounds so bad for me, but great for you. I come to find out I was running the Poly block *after* all my other blocks. I was so ready to write it off but that was the only thing I needed to change. And I probably wouldn't have noticed if I never saw this video.

Very good video. I think the Helix/Stomp is fantastic; i've been using mine to downtune my guitar and my brother's bass at the same time! I tried both the poly pitch and the poly capo but i can't tell a real difference between both blocks in terms of downtuning. Have you noticed any difference?

[dryanbuchanan]

Great video brother. It is interesting because when I used it before I felt like it didn’t sound right. But then I hear videos and it sounds great. It makes me wonder how much of it is in my head. It’s like when you get your car back from the shop and you are hyper alert to every sound it makes and you think there’s something wrong with it but it’s just overthinking. Who knows. I’m definitely giving it another shot now though after seeing is.

Dude i gotta learn about this “firmware” whatever. Im old - this will save ALOT of time live! (Whenever that comes back)

[nitro_dan]

Great video! Now I know that I can safely replace the 12 (?) guitars I bought in my head for different tunings with one Helix unit

[RobTackettCovers]

So it's called poly capo? I have my Helix Jr (LT, haha!) updated to 3.15 and couldn't find it? Going to look again...thanks for the video!

[williammccracken]

Awesome stuff Matt!! I have the Grandmeister also. Moving over to Helix and PC primarily these days. Curious on your thoughts on the GM.

[MrKornea]

I'm a bit confused with these new effects: polypitch, polycapo, simple pitch... To be clear, what's the difference between polypitch and polycapo ?

Im getting some garbley digitizing on single notes. How do you minimize that?

[Plymouthmusicschool]

That only thing I am not a fan of is just how much DSP power poly capo and poly tune consumes with the HX Stomp. You can only have two other blocks in addition to poly tune/capo

[JonJurisch]

At 12:06 section, it looks like you switched to Poly Pitch instead of Poly Capo. Is there a major difference between the two? Also, what hardware are you running for this? For the first part of the video it looks like all your DSP may be used - so if you were using a more complex patch would it let you utilize the poly? (The Poly Pitch is grayed out when using the amp&cab)

[misterringer]

I am in Helix Native and it doesn't track nearly that well for me. Wonder if there's a difference using hardware. Shouldn't be, but who knows haha.

[John-ppqv]

I'd love to use it but some the patches I use have crowded signal chains, and from what I understand the poly capo eats up darn near 25% of it - is that true?

[rendhyfadlielahjatu]

why i cant dialing in the poly capo on my presets?

[billystarcher]

Hoping someone here can help with an issue I'm having. I just got my Helix a few days ago. For any of the pitch settings I try to use I get both the pitched signal as well as the original signal in my audio. I've watched multiple videos like this and follow the settings they use to the letter and still have the same issue. With this problem none of these are usable for me.

[MrMarcburger]

does poly capo use that much DSP? it is often greyed out.
