As far as copying sounds from Helix to HX, unfortunately no you can't. Hopefully there will be an easy way to copy and paste when HX Edit supports HXFX. Again, don't know yet but I would hazard a guess at no.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.

Interesting to compare the legacy and new models of the same pedal. The Valve Driver which is the HX model of a Chandler sounds pretty rubbish to my ears, and did on the Helix Floor I used to have. Yet the Tube Drive which is the legacy model of the same pedal sounds totally different and really great.
Struggling to get as good a noise from the OCD model as I’ve heard on demos.
I've been watching this thread after getting one of these early on, being really impressed and then exasperated with noise and returning it.
Does anyone know what the issue was with the noise and has it really been solved?
I really liked this unit and am thinking of getting another if the issues are dealt with
According to this, it does seem that Line 6 have sorted it with subsequent ones but I tried one in a shop 3 wks ago and it was noisy. I wonder if Line 6 can narrow it down to a certain batch and serial numbers or it's just luck of the draw?

I hope it gets sorted as the unit seems to have interested quite a few folk
It is seemingly a known issue and is hardware related with some components being out of spec. on some units. Line 6 have improved their screening process to stop it happening again but there could still be some earlier units in stock. If it comes loaded with firmware 2.5 or higher, it should be good.There's a big thread about it on the Gear Page.
I contacted Frank Ritchotte through that thread and he is sending me a screened replacement directly from the US which is due to arrive tomorrow. Absolutely astounding customer service from Line 6 - I think it's the best I have ever been treated as a customer.
Ok that is reassuring...
Thought I had solved all this with a Boss MS-3 but it's not 'quite' there.
Here we go again!
My concern is the European market is still probably going through these problem units...I'm ready to buy one but I always struggle to receive deliveries etc, so having to send back/receive others just means a bit of a headache. I think they should just say 'serial number XXXX onwards will pose no problems.'
I understand that Line 6 have improved their screening process to eradicate any issues at production level so there is a case to suggest that serial numbers from a certain point should be problem free. However, that doesn't mean that every earlier unit has a problem- far from it. The vast majority are fine.
Their customer service response to me has been exemplary so I'd buy with total confidence -- it's a very capable and flexible unit with an outstanding interface.
Also the full fat editor is now there.
