But it would be nice to combine some oddball pedals or something like an Eventide Blackhole. One thing none of them do is reverse reverb though.
It's small but chunky. Feels nice. I already know how it sounds. Need to work out how to plumb it into my board with dirts in its loop.
Mine arrives tomorrow.
My initial thoughts on Flux are thus:
- pitch shifting, either for quasi-Whammy stuff, or so I can simply have 2 different pitch options (e.g. octave down and up) on a single preset and just use the flux button to switch between them; basically giving me 2 "snapshots" (in Helix terms) on a single effect.
- Speed ramping for phaser/univibe sort of things without needing an expression pedal.
I'll definitely use it for both of those. Not sure if the Flux switch can be set to work Momentary rather than Toggle mode, which would be even better (as holding it currently switches between Tap and Flux modes) but maybe there's a way to have a separate aux switch do that. Is @Digital_Igloo still around?Also having played with the Poly Pitch settings today I realised it has different tracking/latency options, from super fast but a bit glitchy to minor latency but mega good tracking, where it feels a bit spongy but sounds basically perfect great. Setting that somewhere in the middle easily matches my Ricochet, which is perfect because it means I can definitely sub it into that physical slot on my board and also give myself access to phasers, choruses, delays, etc as needed.
I'm VERY happy with all of that.
I really like my El Capistan, but this could take it’s place and give me way more options…
I know next to bugger all about MIDI switching so don't know if that exists
I'm not sure what this type of switching is called, it probably has a name. Like a momentary switch that issues a pulse on state change. Might be possible with a simple external footswitch and some clever electronics?
I also haven't check how quickly the Flux can ramp up/down yet but I assume almost instantly at the most extreme, because L6 are usually v good at thinking this stuff through.
Can't play while in the office but I can read the manual...
EDIT: someone one reddit suggested this for a full fat Helix using the expression pedal. No reason you can't build the same thing with Flux
