In this episode of Quick Tips for Helix, I look at a parameter that nobody talks much about but can potentially have a great negative or positive outcome on our preset. The parameter is the Level control we have on Helix blocks. I hope you enjoy the video and the preset.

have been using level as a per snapshot volume boost for ages at the end of the signal chain, until recently when i got an extra expression pedal, and now use that with 0db in the heel position, and +3.5db on the toe position. this gives a great boost for solos! :)

Great video as always, I am a new owner of a Helix and have learned so much from your videos, oh and your playing is top notch.

[@adyuriar]

Much appreciated tips, I learn something new every video!!

[@JasonSadites]

My pleasure and so glad you enjoyed :-)

Yet another invaluable video! This can really really mess up our tone. (Edit: I am taking notes. Creating my Play List with tips!) Now, if I may, yet again: I just can't wrap my head around the Mode button on the Helix. It's like I can't figure out how to reconcile its behavior along with the settings found in Global Settings. For example, how I would go to use 8 or 10 snapshots but also switch to stomp, and how switching to stomp will relate (if it does) to the Stomp/Snapshot or Snapshot/Stomp back in Global Settings (trying to explain further: If I chose Stomp (top FS)/Snapshots(bottom FS) what then does the Mode button do? If I chose 10 Snapshot FS, what does the button do then and how it relates to the Stomp FS on top/Snapshot FS bottom configuration in this case? ) Did that make sense? I don't think so, hence why I am asking LOL Thanks again Dr Sadites!

I don’t see a gain reduction meter for my comp. Is it cause I’m using a HXstomp?

[@KeithShelley1]

Thanks, Jason! I know you've addressed this in a couple other videos but what final db level do you think a preset should be? I'm working on levelling all my presets and snapshots and am not terribly knowledgeable about how loud they should be.

[@JasonSadites]

My pleasure! I usually aim for around -18 LUFS using a loudness meter. Hope that helps :-)

[@KeithShelley1]

@@JasonSadites perfect, thanks!

[@picksalot1]

How can we determine which Blocks are Linear and which are Non-linear? I could not find a list identifying them. Thanks

[@JasonSadites]

Pretty much any compressor, amp block, preamp block, distortion pedal or anything with a headroom control will be non-linear. Hope that helps :-)
