Anyone figure out to do the Andy Timmons Halo Delay Sound on Helix?

Any tips on how to create that sound. I'm on Pod Go actually so cannot run 2 delays in series if that's what's needed for that sound. Any tips for doing this in Pod Go or lower powered units would be appreciated.

 
Yeah use the CrossFit or whatever the dual delay with crossfeed is. Raise up the mod depth to get the modulation. Make sure X feed it set to 5 for maximum cross feedback.

Edit: it’s called Crisscross

Concur. It’s not 100% identical to the pedal but close enough IMO.

I also love Timmons's tone, and every now and then I try to reach his fantastic guitar tone.
Crisscross delay is the effect similar to the Halo pedal and I also keep on changing its parameters to get closer to Andy's sound.
At the moment my own version is this, but tomorrow it could be different. It's important to take note that I put the delay after the amp (and that's the reason for the narrow low/high cuts), on the contrary Andy uses it BEFORE the amp with a clean tone, and all the gain comes from his pedals.

Crossfeed: 5.0
Headroom: +12dB
Mod Rate: 8.3 Hz
Mod Depth: 2.6
Shape: triangle
Phase: 180
Bit Depth: 16 bits
Sample rate: 48 kHz
Low cut: 130 Hz

By the way, my Andy's Halo reference is this video (from 34:00):
