The only amp I'd like to see is the Victory VX Kracken 50w lunch head, maybe the Gibson combo Billy Howerdal uses in A Perfect Circle too. I love the tone Rebea gets from his dual Kracken amp rig but I can't find a happy approximation when trying to get a similar sound in the Helix (everything seems too shrill so poor sound design on my part I guess) What I would love to see is amp power sections split into their own section. We already have the pre-amp and full amp, even the full amp & cab block - that way we can put a VOX pre into a Fender power amp into dual Marshall 4x12s etc. Using additional blocks in the Floor/Rack/Native wouldn't be an issue (who uses all the available blocks already in every preset they make?) but the Stomp would basically become "amp box" with it's limit of 8 blocks
I personally would like to see captures implemented, maybe just adopt NAM. The thing is that it covers a lot of ground. It's not about having a ton of amps, it's about getting *that one thing* that they missed. For me it's the Blues Driver. But for somebody else it could be a different stompbox or amp. Frees them up to focus on FX and more experimental amps. Other than that, completely agree with more reverbs. The existing ones are good, but there could be a couple more. Delays, only thing I want is the Memory Man model with extended delay times.
I would like to see some old Yamaha algorithms like the symphonic , capture software would be nice I use my Tonex in the loop and that works great if not added
Nice playing and great points. My primary gigging rig is currently a Stomp XL with the Tonex Pedal in a loop and using two QSC K10.2 active speakers, which works phenomenally well. At home I do use the Meris LVX and Mercury X "behind" the Stomp XL in addition - have not yet decided to get a bigger board to add those, but might as they are awesome. My wish list mainly includes a Blues Driver and a Blues Breaker (or Morning Glory) as additions. All my other wishes are really usability items. I would love to have a way to assign double tap and long press functionality to the Stomp (XL) switches, e.g. to add a hold or oscillate function, or to e.g. have a short tap toggle on/off and a double tap toggle between two mix values. This would also solve my biggest "problem" - reliably hitting bank up and down switches while singing almost always fails for me. Have the mode switch toggle between stomp and preset mode on a short tap, and switching to snapshots on a double tap would help me a ton :)
I agree with all you’re saying. You make good points… I’ve been through every rig you can imagine in my 40 years on the road. My current rig is a Tonex One with my own captures from my beloved Mesa Lonestar Special through an HX Stomp for effects and a few analog pedals in front. It fits in my carryon with some clothes. Funny thing is I usually don’t bring a guitar and just settle for a backline Strat. I guess I’m just an old fart …
Great playing. Didn't know about your channel until now. Personally, I think amp captures will never be added to this hardware. Sure, the floor has the connectivity and it has more DSP power than the Kemper but about 4 times less than the Quad Cortex for instance. I doubt very much Line 6 will go to the capture realm with the current hardware. Personally, I have no idea what to expect. But I would want a few things: one is the addition of cabs using the G12H-75 Creamback speaker. The V30 just doesn't do it for me on its own and there's already plenty of those in the Helix. I have a physical 1x12 (Revv) cab with an H75 Creamback and a Marshall 1960A 4x12 with 2 V30s and 2 H75 Creambacks in X pattern. That speaker combo is pretty common (Zila and other cab manufacturers make them). I still use mostly IRs because I really prefer the H75 Creamback over any other speaker modelled in the Line 6 devices right now. Sometimes there's an issue of DSP for my presets too (the IR block consumes significantly less DSP than the cab block, especially the dual ones). Second would be DSP optimization of some blocks like the cab. The Helix is older hardware now and it's incredible how much juice they are able to keep squeezing from it year after hyear so, if possible, further optimization would be welcome. Third would be an 1176 compressor model. It's such a classic, I'm really surprised that has not been added yet. Models of more modern ones like the Wampler Ego or the Ego 76 (Wampler's interpretation of the 1176) would be awesome. I have the physical versions of both those compressors which I have on a secondary board when using the Helix but if I could eleminate them in my Helix rig it would be awesome (I also have an analog rig based on a 40 watts Revv tube head where I use the HX FX and some analog pedals that is completely separate from my Helix floor rig). Fourth, as for delays, I used a Roland SDE-3000 in the 80s and a model of that would be awesome but my go to delays right now on the Helix are the Simple Delay (ran in stereo) but mostly the 2290 (Ducked Delay) also run in stereo. That one has mojo :) and is very flexible. If any of the above made it in a new update I'd be very happy!
So nice, had to listen twice;) Love the voice you're finding here, my friend. Definitely your wheelhouse.
@@quazzistellar haha Jeff
I appreciate the support always 🙏🏿

Holy grail of an intro! Absolute gem.

I agree! Captures are as personal as it gets!
A memory man Delay will be a win for me too 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
@@MrDees_music they have an accurate memory man with elephant man, but it's restricted to the original delay time

@@cakewalkgg thank you 🙏🏿
why is there a huge difference in sound in between you and the music?
Nice playing thanks
Nice tone and sound
