Nice! Let's see if I can remember that next time, haha.There is!
When you restore your backup, you simply deselect the factory set lists.

Hey lads, Favorite dirt pedal models on the helix ? I’ve been so busy I literally haven’t had time to sit down yet for reals with my HX one. Basically only been scrolling thru in a band context
I need more gain than a real sd1 fwiw

The Screamer model from the legacy section. Very versatile, with an active bass EQ as well!
The Teemah has been one of my favs when I am loving my amp tone and just want a bit more and/or some hair on top.
The H9 Sonic dist model is always phenomenal. Any time I need a higher gain and tame DS1 flavour, I reach for the Sonic Hedgehog H9 model.
The OCD model is wonderful if I want some crunch and dist for both leads and rhythm. Versatile and effective.
The POT and KOT are great in some EOB applications. Very nice models, quite satisfying.
The new prize drive has been a new favourite in a lot of low gain / boost-type applications. Very versatile as well.
Believe it or not, the retro reel in the mod selection, with the right settings is a great warm drive pedal!

I like the Legacy Jumbo Fuzz - it's my go-to fuzz model, as long as there's no Helix Bender added (I'd 100% embrace that).
Also, don't sleep on the Dhyana (Zen) Drive.
Btw, I'll finally order a Helix Floor on 12/24, my mind and wallet are set now.
11 days left...

Pilars mode 2 for goosing.
Heir Apparent for crunch into clean amp -- I bought a KoD clone because of it.
KWB in Silicon modes for fuzz that clean up.
Bighorn for thick fuzzy pillows. I like to combine with the Pitch Ring Mod for madness.
Industrial for instant madness and faux synth.

I love the KWB, I keep meaning to build one but haven't gotten round to it yet.

WHY-OH-WHY is a short tap onto a switch inverting the LED status when that switch is controling multiple blocks' on/off status but why is it *not* doing so when I just control, say, the A/B amount of a Y-splitter? That is just soooo much making no sense.
And please, pretty, pretty please, let me turn of that capacitive stuff entirely, I never need it live with the HX Stomp and the nonsense behaviour is always messing with my LEDs when I accidentally touch them while adjusting somthing (which you really can't avoid given the knob-switch-distances).

Prize drive (odr1) if I just want something to make an overdriven version of the clean tone I already have like in front of a good fender clean. Timmy or plumes if I’m boosting something already cooking, sometimes the OCD model instead. Prize drive with the bass cut on could probably do something similar to how I use the OCD but I haven’t confirmed that yet. The king/prince of tone is cool if you can deal with it need the big bass cut.
The range master model is lots of fun especially if you try experimenting with bringing the bass up and or treble down and trying different input impedances.

You can.

No. You can deactivate stomp select, all other functions related to the capacitive switches stay active.

Because touching the switch jumps between the two controlled blocks. If one block is in a dim or low value state and the other is the opposite, this issue crops up.
Because only one command is assigned to that switch.
Just wanted to explain what is going on, not saying it's desirable or makes total sense. When it happens to me I just touch the switch again and the block with the expected dim state is highlighted again.

No, they're just plain on/off assignments.
I know - but I had it that I simply didn't notice things were switched. Which absolutely sucks inmidst of a gig.
Seriously, all I want is to completely disable any capacitive switch functionalities. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

The SD1 and Timmy were my go-to's. Also liked the DOD250, sometimes. (This is boosting a tube amp crunch channel, not as base tone.)

Timmy is probs one of my favorite drives, period. Good for adding dirt to a clean tone and for boosting/shaping a distortion tone. I like it in both the Helix and FAS stuff.

I guess I'm a dinosaur. I use a lil green box with the gain at zero, the level at 12 and tone where ever needed in front of anything I play thru be it a modeler or tube amp 
I do have to say that over the last 3 days I've spent a LOT of time (needed to knock the rust off anyhow) with my Helix rack doing comps and I'm starting to really like this pc o gear.. For yrs I really didn't. Now if it only had a FAS quaility delay
