Just dropping these here. I quite like the Blue Stomp. shame it's just the top part. Apparently Guitar Centre exclusives.

I'm staying away from snapshots, as each patch has Drive/boost, Chorus (in case i want it) and a unique effect like Filter, or Phaser etc. So i need real-time control of those. I like to experiment with when I use the effects.

You could do it with Snapshots. At least I can on my Stomp. Pretty sure you can as well. You can set the on/off function for any block to any foot switch, but Im not sure how you would do 3 setting. For example, I have a BDDI set to on, with little drive, and another block with the same BDDI but a much higher drive (and slightly lower level). I have both set to one foot switch. The patch is saved with the low drive on and the high drive off. Using just one foot switch alternates between the two. Pretty cool feature.

But he wasnt very good, he just made a lot of noise and impressed everyone. A bit like Slapping lol.

Pretty much how i feel about most of the legends. They used what was available at the time, but given the choice who knows what they wouldst have ended up playing. Anyway, not a fan of Jaco's music at all.

Is this the bloke that everyone says didn't need 5/6/7 strings 🙂

Yeah, on the Zoom i get a sort of chorus effect, even at 100%. The Helix is so much better, even if it's boot 100% perfect.

A public forum is meant to be somewhere people can share their views. There is an unsubscribe button at the top if anyone needs it. I'm not quick to slag this crap off, ive never liked it and dont see the attraction. It's like elevator music for the 21st century.

Cool. I used the pitch shift with the band for the first time the other night. Just half a step down when we were trying different keys out, and like you say, not really noticeable most of the time. Thanks for that. Yep, your right. This photo has really helped as well as ive been looking for a real life size comparison.

Michael Kiwanuka is definitely the highlight of the show for me, and ive never heard of him before. Cant believe Jools had a say in any of the rap stuff. What a shower of s##t that stuff is. Ive just turned over from watching the last concert Black Sabbeth did on Sky Arts. Geezer was playing his lovely looking Lakland PJ. Getting a bit of GAS for one of those.

Nice one, thanks. I'll measure my Stomp in the morning. I have a feeling/hoping its a bit narrower. How are you getting on with your FX?

Can anyone tell me if the foot switches on the Helix Effects are the same distance apart as the Stomp? My large feet keep hitting two at once on my Stomp, just wonder if the Effects will be the same, as im considering getting that to replace the Stomp.

When does yours arrive?

Well as you know, i have no issue with that 😎

True, but if i don't like it i can get 100% back if brought over here. Ive never had faulty equipment from abroad, other than Thomann's, but i can imagine its not a 5 day fix if you have to go through PP etc.

Harder to send back though....

Im not one to wait, so i might meet halfway and pre order from G4M for £349, expected delivery 8-12 Nov.

In the past Andertons always seemed to be first with pre orders, but always at full price.

Its rock 'n' roll innit? How much more Black can it be........

Yes, i posted this (from GAK) in the other Helix thread. There is also a blue version out there as well. Prefer Black though.

Pretty sure this has been posted before, but its too good to not post again. Shame about the audio being low.

Thats what happens when you flash your donkey on live TV (her, not you lol)

Oh yeah, i forgot i had one of those. Loved it, but found it painful to play for too long.

I use these all the time at home, and i'd agree with the above statement. I got a pair of Ashdown Meteors for Christmas, was recommended them and they were on off at HMV. Cant stand them. Too boomy to the point of swamping the low notes, and thats without the EQ on. The HD25's by comparison seem very clear and handle low notes very well.

Ive had a couple of Lakland Duck Dunn's, a DJ5 and a MM Sire V7. Never bothered me who's name was on it, i went for the specs and look.
