Phffft - Philips V2000 or GTFO!You can see who lived thru VHS vs Beta and who would still be digging in their heels for beta
Something that will allow several model/effects in a single block, ie. I sometimes use 2 Parametric EQs before the Amp and 2 after, they only take 3% DSP each but the routing chain starts to get a little tight.
Interesting thought, that's for sure!Bumping old request: "Folder block".

Freeing routing chain space and makes tone matching presets or 'core tone' one block.

EDIT:
Individual components in this block do not have to be assignable or bypass-able to avoid some heavy programming on Line 6 side, the user has to choose blocks that will be always ON in this block and only the main Folder block can be assigned and bypassed like all other blocks.
This is NOT additional blocks in the routing chain since nothing is assignable or bypass-able inside the Folder, it's basically a bypass-able virtual FX Loop or a Series route split and should be a breeze to program.
EDIT 2:
You can put an existing FX Loop block and some EQ and Compression to shape the tone inside the Folder.
It can be incredibly versatile with some imagination and afaik no other hardware modeler does this.
wouldn't that equal just having whatever you place in there, placed in the normal chain, one after another, all items assigned to the same footswitch?
This is a complicated solution to what is mostly a UI problem - the inability to add more blocks despite the processing power being available. Tightening the spacing of the blocks as you add more would solve the problem without introducing a concept as difficult as this. Novel idea tho!Bumping old request: "Folder block".

I've suggested something like this to the team every year or so and the answer is always the same—our DSP graph would need to be completely redone, which I've been told is a lot of work. And even though you've chosen three low-DSP EQ blocks in the example above, anyone could put whatever they wanted in there, which means the DSP limit would be hit much sooner, exacerbating any "underpowered" perception.Bumping old request: "Folder block".

Since you asked, a blast from the past: has Line 6 ever considered adding USB audio channels as selectable options in the Helix Loop/ Send/ Return blocks? This would have been a game changer for me. Is there a hardware limitation that precludes this?EDIT: I never mean to dismiss feature requests—only explaining why we can or can't do something. Please keep 'em coming.

Which HX based interfaces are you referring to? I tracked with Helix for quite a while without any issues.Likely the horrible latency the HX based interfaces come with, limiting the usefulness of any such a thing considerably. You could really only mix some delays/reverbs in, for anything else it's not making much sense.
Best modeler interface there is, I'd say. GT1000 is quite good as well.Which HX based interfaces are you referring to? I tracked with Helix for quite a while without any issues.
Even as things stand right now, I routinely send/receive to and from Helix USB audio; it's just much messier building a preset that can do it.
