I bought a Stomp yesterday - it's my first Helix product. I really don't get on with digital effects but desperate to find a convenient way of just getting on with a simple recording without messing about with reals amps etc. I have never come across a digital effect simulation so close to the real thing in terms of feel and responsiveness. I have posted this comment in case you are one of those people like me who have experienced nothing but disappointment with digital effects simulators and modelling etc. It's no wonder people are using these Helix units as whole rigs. I will be using mine for direct recording. Good luck on your quest for tone !

Just bought an HX Stomp late March 2024. Updated firmware to 3.71. This video is not totally applicable to 3.70+ in that all of my presets say the preset name/location, like "01A New Preset"...."01B New Preset" up to "33A". Nothing but the tap tempo/tuner button is active; no other blocks are active. (that's fine; I get it) From there it's the same up to 42C then it rolls over to "01A" . There are no presets starting with "FX" for example.

Is this possible? Would it benefit me to just run my comp and overdrives into the guitar in vs the 4 cable method in this scenario? Thanks!

You wouldn't be able to engage an effect upon down press then, as the box would be waiting to see if another switch is pressed before deciding what you want to do. Double switch presses work well when navigating presets, but not when you need to turn a stomp on exactly on the beat.

It's like a cheap toy and looks like it will break and it takes up the whole wall socket if it fits and is incompatible with so many adapters etc - what is the matter with these companies making us spend more money to power up the products and thinking it's okay?
