Helix 3.7: The Freeman Update

[Sascha Franck]

Update took less than 10 minutes on the Stomp, performed via HX Edit, no hiccups or whatsoever.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Fwiw, it'd be great if you folks at Line 6 could provide meaningful filenames for your downloads. Helix Native has the 3.70 in it but HX Edit is just that. Nothing big but it shouldn't be big for you folks to add this, either.

The 2203 can jump off a pier. I'm all about those new custom Line6 original amps and fx!

I'll give this a spin in Helix Native over the weekend.

Yeah, the Catalyst amp models are very good.

Next up for the Digitech team.

Eeek! I'm leaving Dec 1 to snorkel, skindive, kayak, and paddleboard in a bay known for tiger shark attacks and where they just spotted a 12-footer a few weeks ago. So if I end up getting eaten, at least I can die knowing James Freeman is happy.

Wait are you coming here? Let me know we usually have something fun going on

Wow, this update encompasses just about everything that people have been asking for, for the last who knows how long! I can't wait to try the new Voltage and the two new reverbs; they'll be especially great in my ambient P&W shoegaze kitchen-sink preset.

I'm currently using two Jumped Plexies in stereo, which uses a monstrous amount of DSP. I'm optimistic that the new Voltage Amp will help with this. I can't wait to try the infamous new JCM800 too, but I suspect the Voltage will be more my thing.

I'm really excited to see the Dripman as well. I occasionally experiment in surfy sounds, and the 215 cab with the Dripman will be great for that. Well done Line 6, and @Digital Igloo , you absolutely knocked this one out of the park. Everyone has got to be happy now.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Feedbacker sounds killer!

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

I‘m definitely not the brightest cap in the world, otherwise I would not have sold my Stomp(s).

Just bought another one.

We'll be in Kealakekua Bay Dec 1-10. I'll be working remotely but we'll likely do day trips to Kona, South Point, and Volcano. PM me!

Don't sleep on the Oblivion - my opinion is that it takes the long revered Badonk's place in high gain original amp models and lets it shine by breaking out of the Catalyst open back speaker/limited cab limitations.

 

[Badonkey Kong]

Gaaaah! Awesome Update! But I have to work! Hey - anybody in the know, how much DSP does the feedbacker take up?

But, but... my name!

And from reading the description... Do I dare hope it sounds 2c+ ish?

Enjoy the time off on the ʻĀina DI!

I’m about all of it. Honestly, it all looks good.

 

[Sascha Franck]

After a very, very brief testrun, I like the Voltage most. The 2203 seems to be doing what it says on the box but this might need some cab research. But the Voltage is a great raw amp rendition which should be great in any rock rhythm context.

 

[dk_ace]

Ooohhh looks nice….

Maybe I’ll rearrange some things to get some time to check this stuff out before I get too far into the weekend.

Nobody mentioned that the leak was accurate Someone’s getting booted off the beta team

Bob's no longer your uncle it seems.

And fwiw, if you folks are like me and prefer checking out amps through the same sort of allround-ish cab, go for the 2x12 Mandarin30 (default settings are fine) and look no further. Works well for pretty much anything from jazzy clean to pretty heavy drive. You can thank me later.
