Thanks, then my own thoughts weren’t totally off. The way I’m seeing it, and that could be beneficial for us bedroom dwellers as well, is seeing some blocks almost like physical pieces. I for example could see ”my” amp inside of the Helixverse acting as an ”anchor” (or ”linked” block) through a set of presets. So my anchors have the same settings but everything else is fluid and interchangeable. And physically I will constantly tweak the controls of my real amp and main OD to suit taste-of-the-moment, different guitars and even frickin’ aged string that are duller over time. (Yes I don’t change strings frequently enough). The rest is as I wrote fluid, so the signal chain, various FX etc changes according to needs between presets while the ”anchors” stay the same.Sure.
In a nutshell, for live playing (it's possibly way less relevant for any other application) I want "analog-alike" setup handling. The two key things possibly being:
- Quick access to the most relevant parameters that I know I would like to tweak to accomodate whatever gigging situation. Mainly amp tonestacks, lead levels, spatial FX mix. For somewhat more comfort, I wouldn't mind dirt pedal parameters and maybe the ocassional modulation effect I might be using more often throughout the gig.
- I would want all these to be globally valid. As in: When calling up preset B, the tweaks I did in preset A would still be there.
As far as why I want that goes: I just need (or sometimes just want) to be able to do that because of the highly varying nature of the gigs I play, very often some where there's no or just soundcheck rehearsals. Creating dedicated patches to suit each thinkable scenario is pretty much impossible for those kinda gigs.
But I also sometimes just want it for personal reasons. I might want to use another main guitar. Or I might feel more like rocking out instead of playing sort of decently (most of the gigs I play allow for that kinda freedom).
And that's about it, really. There'd be some other benefits coming along with these things, but the two points listed above are the main reasons.
I’d really like something like this at least. I have too many set and forget presets that I don’t go back to from not using Favorites and constantly tweaking amp settings. Having a quick way to reach anchor-parameters would be awesome as well.
