Helix Talk

[GTR37]

So, apparently Line 6 has been inviting well known content creators to participate in the 10th anniversary Helix livestream and the "special development presentation".

New Helix gear coming? I'm wheezing.

Let me just say it before DI gets in here and down plays it

Jason Sadites is driving cross country to the event
That can’t mean nothing

Oddly enough I don't think they invited the tone junkie

Maybe there’s a dress code that doesn’t include Hawaiian shirts.

He is busy with his grand reopening later this summer
For the Kemper remastered collection
So he was unable to attend

Indeed.

Jeez, talk about setting everyone up for disappointment. The June 11th event is mainly to make up for the fact that we haven't thrown a Helix party at NAMM since before COVID, and the 10 Year Anniversary made sense.

Youtubers building hype for nothing is a bit risky, to say the least

Reading that some people is driving to Line6 headquarters is indeed misleading. A party is a party, but there should be something big enough that makes one want to say "I was there" if you're driving there.

We're at an interesting point, I'd say:

- Kemper overhaul
- Darkglass Anagram
- Quilter Elevate
- L6 "special development presentation"

And all those things within a matter of weeks.

That's for the better. Guy would probably begin to ramble about evangelical vs. liturgical churches mid event.

I fired up my Helix for the first time in a while. Initially, I couldn’t get the inputs to work. Neither the instrument input nor the returns on the back allowed me to get my guitar signal “on the grid.” A factory reset addressed the issue, but was obviously inconvenient.

When I started digging into old and new presets I felt a bit underwhelmed, surprisingly. High gain tones, specifically, felt off. It almost sounded/felt like the distortion existed apart from the core amp tone—like it was floating on top. I don’t really know how else to explain it. The tone wasn’t cohesive, and it didn’t feel great to play.

I was using the Revv Purple model which has historically been my fav on both HX and FAS platforms. I was using the same IR as I always do.

I’m not sure what gives, but maybe I need to check my settings after the factory refresh, though in unsure how/if that would help at all.

Not to get everyone’s hopes up, but on 6/11 i’ll be driving across town to my dentist to get a crown…..

I'm sure it'll be every bit as "exciting" as the L6 live stream.
Good luck!

My personal hell is being forced to watch Jason Sadites Tonex videos with my eyes peeled open like A Clockwork Orange.

 

[sleewell]

why does the volume drop way off when you max out the sag control on amps?
