Super Serial
A serial path has eight processing block locations. If that’s not enough, you can use
parallel path B to create one big “super serial” path.
1. Move the Merge block down to path 1B.
A duplicate Output block is created.
2. Move the Split block all the way to the right, past the last
processing block on path 1A.
3. Select the Output block on path 1A and turn Knob 2 (Level)
all the way down.
That way, you’re only hearing Output 1B.
In the illustration above, our signal is processed by the eight blocks on path 1A and
processed further by the three blocks on path 1B.

with path 2 and then route path 1B’s output block to path 2A for one gigantic serial
tone with up to 32 block locations (DSP permitting - See "Dynamic DSP"):
Dynamic DSP
Like nearly all modern audio processors, the Helix LT engine is based on DSP (Digital
Signal Processing). Some models require many times more DSP horsepower than
others, so it makes logical sense that fewer of those models could exist in a tone. To
work around this, some processors restrict you to one amp, one reverb, one delay, etc.
With Helix LT, we feel it's important to let you keep adding whatever you want to your
tone, even if you may eventually run out of DSP.
That said, there are some rules governing the number of certain types of blocks you
can add to a preset:
Amp+Cab, Amp, or Preamp blocks
Any combination, up to four (two per path)
Cab blocks (includes Amp+Cab
blocks)
Up to four (two per path; Cab > Dual blocks
are considered two)
Impulse Response blocks
Up to four 1024-point IRs (two per path) or
two 2048-point IRs (one per path)
Looper block
One
