    Finally!!! A video that explains how snapshots work in a simple way! 6 weeks I’ve had my Helix and this is the first video that has taught me how to use the function without a PC. Thank you 👍

    First off thank you. Had my HXFX for about 9 months. So far only played the presets and tinkered with a few of my own patches. This 8 min video has opened my to a whole new world of tinkering and really well explained.

    Thanks for the explanations! FYI there’s a shortcut for setting parameters for the snapshot. According to the manual, if you press in on the knob while turning it, it will assign it to the snapshot - you will see the little vertical bar appear on the parameter setting to verify this.

    Excellent tutorial thank you ! Do you think it’s possible to assign a amp channel change from overdrive to clean in a snapshot?

    • @thehont8648
      @thehont8648  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. I believe you should be able to do this. Unfortunately I don't have a channel switching amp to verify this, but you can change midi channels using snapshots so you should be able to use the same process to change channels on an amp. See my video on using MIDI for the steps. You will need to use the "Ext Amp" command instead of "BankPC". Hope this helps.

    I tried to edit my snapshots in HX Edit and even after assigning controller to Snapshot it's still not retaining my parameter edits. Can't seem to find any help to fix this - any advice? At least I know how to do it on the HX Effects now. Thanks

    It’s 2024. I’m selling off my pedals and tube amps. Age catching up and no gigs for me as playing at home with my loved ones. Will this unit with the JC40 serves its purpose for noodling with the loved ones? Been watching videos of how great it sounds and simple to use.

    Blimey, it's a lot going on on, I just want a simple bank of snapshots that come up as the default. I'd also much rather have six banks and lose the up/down buttons. I just want clean, clean with effects, crunch, drive, solo and one to spare then... Don't want to switch banks around.
