Think I might need a hard case or flight case for the Helix, instead of the pedal train bag in using now - however, I need space for a few pedals on it as well. All the ones online are just for the Helix unit, and no other pedals - has anyone got a hard case that can fit other pedals in it as well? And if so, where did you get it from?

How many and what pedals are you using? I have a case I'm not using that might do the job for you. 

Nice! It's for the Helix (full fat version), a Line 6 Relay G70 unit, OD pedal and a Banshee 2 talkbox. Would be interested even if it doesn't fit all of them, as the Talkbox can sit off to the side, depending on where the mic stand is.

Cheers!

That Swan Flight one works a treat, you can see I managed to get the Helix and a decent amount of pedals on there here...

Cheers guys - have PM'd @rossyamaha as well about the case he has

I've been recording using the LT recently, for my cover band stuff.  I normally use it direct into an amp but it's so handy to be able to get a good sound, quickly with the minimum of fuss with headphones at night.  I used the rotary and harmonic tremolo effect for the guitar on this track and recorded into an ipad, we just air drop the songs between ipads depending on what parts need doing.  Not the kind of stuff I usually play on, but I needed a unit that could instantly get me in any ballpark required, and the Helix is great for that.

Just ordered the Swan Flight case - it's on offer, and the guys have said they can get it to me tomorrow (which, along with my replacement Helix unit, means I'll be ready to go for Saturday's festival!).

Replacement unit and flight case arrived yesterday - all updated and ready for the festival today. Superb support from Line 6!

Is the flight case very heavy with the Helix?

It's not too bad, slightly lighter than the old PedalTrain Classic Pro I had it all mounted on. The Talkbox didn't for though, but that's no biggie.

Nice version mate, I like it !

Simple question: can you have two overdrive units in the same path in the LT?

I can´t seem to be able to do it

Run out of Dsp?
join the paths and use path 2

By the way don't worry about doing that it's normal
every path has a 1a and 1b and 2a 2b so you can still do all the parallel processing and I/O you meed

the overdrive category is deemed out when I click the joystick not allowing me to choose another drive

See above

Path 1 and Path 2 each have a dedicated DSP.

If you have everything on one path currently (and a lot going on, eg multiple amps) you may have maxed its DSP. Connect the end of Path 1 to the start of Path 2 and share the load

Got it - thanks. However, I don't think I have run out of DSP with just comp+drive+chorus+amp+cab+delay+reverb

I want to ad the overdrive before the amp. If I ad it on the second path will it not be after the amp?
