The Hx 3.9 fw thread

[paisleywookiee]

So what are you saying, you don't think you are going to live until fall 2037?

What’s fall 2037?

Would you not prefer the 101b with all the settings ?

I really like the more open tones of the 3534. But I'm not going to say no to a 101B - it is after all the legend! I think I'd be happy with just the Green and Blue channels to be honest. Not sure about ALL the settings - does Fractal do this now?

All the settings might be a big ask but yeah, that's the one we'd probably pick if we ever get around to it.

You can ditch the low input, no prob... As long as the rest is there

A running joke of when 3.8 will come out since the year was never given.

Jubilee pleaseee!

You don't want or need that model because the real amps sucks.

I was so glad we got the bass wah, the Extasy, and the EVH! Those were 3 of the shrinking list of things I really hope end up on the unit.

Still really want a Mark IIc+, or a Mark IV with more of the switches if that adequately would do the IIc+ thing.

A Jubilee would be very nice

And I’ll defer to anyone who’s played real ones of these more than I have - is there anything a real Plexi can do that isn’t here on the Helix already? Do we already have enough with the Plexi, Trem, Placater (and aren’t there a couple of others that share a lot of the same topography too?)? Or is there a gap similar to the one plugged so magnificently by the 2203?

And with those 2 or 3 things, I’m starting to grasp at straws for me personally. Polyphonic synth maybe?

If those things come, even a year or so from now, I’m over the moon. Far and away the best piece of gear I’ve ever bought.

I think maybe a decent Mesa Mark is all that's left for me. I could live without that too - this last update with the SR and XTC was just amazing!

Anything fryette

Aether please!

Line 6 is going to do the Jubilee justice, all the push/pull clipping options and channels.
That's another 80s Marshall that absolutely has to be in the Helix in its authentic non-molested form.
Line 6 aced the 2203, and as we see they can do much more complex amps with a ton of switches like Ecstasy and Dumble ODS, there is zero reason the Jubilee is going to be (implying the obvious) less than amazing.

Silver Jubilee JVM410H

Global Blocks. Won't happen.
Decent set of filters and modulators. Won't happen.

Guess I need to be happy with new amps and pedals then. In that case, I really wish there was a decent, sort of instant gratification MIAB pedal. Kinda like a Friedman BE-OD without the compression.

I'll try and boil down my ever-growing wishlist to what's closest to my heart:

- Input-Triggered LFO (freely assignable to any parameter)
- channel 2 of the LAB Series L5/L7/L9 (same pre and power amp)
- a proper MKII Tone Bender (including "bias" parameter)
- Tel Ray era Morley PWO
- a proper Univox Superfuzz (Wringer is close, but different enough)
- dual Poly Octave (e.g. EHX Micro POG)
