Anyone else have a helix?

Just got one, kind of overwhelmed by all the features and information out there. Any tips? Maybe share some presets? The stock presets aren't bad, but I want to see what other people are doing with this unit, seems like it has a ton of potential!

The Gear Page's Digital & Modeling section will give you all the help/info/presets you need.......

Had mine for over a month now...just love it. I do, however, recommend IRs for cab/mic sims rather than the stock Helix cabs. I use Ownhammers, which are outstanding. Helix plays great with real gear for 4CM, too, though the amp models are really really organic. Being an EVH fan-boy, I've been running a signal chain like this:

Guitar>Helix>instrument out>Metro Friedman 12301 spec>Suhr Reactive Load ( ) line out>Helix>Ownhammer IRs (Marshall Greenbacks w/sm 57) >studio monitors.

The Helix fx models are the reason I got this thing though...the replications of the MXR phaser and flanger are DEAD NUTS...unbelievable. And I'm using the Helix MXR 10-band model to slam the Metro, and it works beautifully!
