Hei Dude, keep your hands off my stack! (play Pink Floyd's Money as a soundtrack)
I've asked for the snapshot bypass and for direct parameters assignments being independent form snapshots (added in fw3.5) since fw 2.0.
All things the good guys at Line6 delivered. It took some time but they did it.
I think the last thing that's missing is making snapshot independent also the ext amp command (and maybe other instant commands I'm not aware of).

https://homespuneffects.com/RetroReelMix.hlx I think you have to right click and save as or else you'll just get a XML file. I have the FS2 turning it on and off and expression pedal one adjusting the mix. I quickly mashed it together so it could use some polish. Should work on anything because I made it on HX Stomp.

They've had them over here for£699 a lot lately, recently including the backpack as well.

Has anyone been able to get a good Jerry Garcia style envelope filter sound out of helix? I know people have said this is a weak point in helix and I see what they mean. I'm getting like half way there with Autofilter but struggling. What is the best envelope filter model for this in helix? Should I try the legacy options?

There’s a Reverb video all about getting Garcia tones with Helix used as an example, and they have a patch too, and iirc they cover the filter. I don’t remember how close it sounded, but might be a good starting point:
ETA: the FX part starts around 23:30.

No problem! I did watch that part of the video really quick, and he doesn’t go into too much detail on specific settings, but he’s using Auto Filter in low pass mode (as opposed to the Mutant Filter). The patch is free though, and that will have the settings so I’d def check that out, but like he says in the vid, you’ll probably have to tweak it to your guitar and playing style.
If that or Mutant Filter don’t work for you, maybe try Tron Down and Tron Up in the Legacy filters.
You could also try asking somewhere like the gratefulguitar subreddit.
Good luck!

Between the current and legacy filter stuff there has to be something in there to cover that ground.

The filters are really one of the weak spots in the HX-verse, if you want something else but plain touch wah or kinda Mutron sounds.
Tried to go for a kinda synth-ish sound for a bit of noodling (on a noodling oriented FB group) and finally had to reach for the good old MS-50. Not exactly satisfying but still better than all HX offerings (unless I'm overlooking something).

Wasn't there a thing back at TGP where someone constantly argued about the envelope filter not existing on the HX stuff? Super pedantic, iirc.
