The Hx 3.9 fw thread

[ragingplatypi]

We plan on selling Helix/HX boxes for many years still.

Great because I plan on buying at least one more!

Personally, I think most of us would like to kick the old Hybrid cab engine to the curb so some tweaking might be necessary.

You may not be able to elaborate, but I’d love to know more about this. It’s interesting both from a technical and product perspective.

You are talking about the pre 3.5 cab engine? Or was there some other limitation that impacts the new cab implementation.

I’ve almost totally migrated from the York Audio stuff back to the new Hx cabs - I think you did a great job there.

Yeah, it's crappy compared to the new cabs. I'm just surmising that we probably wouldn't bring it forward to any new multieffects platform we'd ever build.

Never thought there's a market for this. Boy was I wrong!

We plan on selling Helix/HX boxes for many years still. If we ever get around to a new flagship, I imagine we'd want existing Helix/HX users to upgrade and the easiest path would be to support some amount of backwards compatibility. Personally, I think most of us would like to kick the old Hybrid cab engine to the curb so some tweaking might be necessary.

Come on then DI, what’ve you got coming up for us with the next update, give us a clue? And when?

The new cabs are really good. I prefer them to the Two Notes stuff I run my real amps through.

I’m using the Hx cabs in native when using reactive loads too. It works so well.

I wonder if 3.9 will arrive for Helix's birthday and if it will be a "festive" update? (just to break this long silence)

Good point, so 6/11?

Tbh, that'd be a worthy opportunity.

I vote YES.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Tbh, unless there'd be some sort of major changes here and there (which there very likely won't be), I'm really not wishing for much.

With the addition of the 2203, EV Panama and Teardrop Bass Q in the past couple updates I am content. That said, I have a laundry list of stuff I'd like to see added.

Mine:

LAB Series
EHX Micro Synth
EHX Poly Chorus/Echo Flanger
EHX POG 2 (= "Dual Poly Pitch")
Ampeg V4

And a proper MKII Bender.
