Hi - Bit of a unique request, and I'm not entirely sure it's possible, but might as well ask! I want to have a foot switch on my HX Stomp control a boost, but rather than jumping up/down in gain when turned on/off I'd like it to ramp up. Is this possible, if so how? Thanks!

Hi, When all else fails, this has usually worked for folks having installation issues. Remember, this was put together a few years back now, so any reference to version numbers will need to be substituted with the latest versions. Trust us, this usually works. Hope this helps/makes sense.

I had the same issue. I ended up using my wife's pc and the update went smoothly. Now I'm back on my pc and the device is not recognized. :'(

My gosh...so much talk from that guy, so much expectation...then sounds garbage, and back to talk. Yikes...

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/helix-switch-cleaning.2352841/page-2 Happy to report I just used Deoxit 5 on the OUTSIDE of the footswitches, sprayed directly onto the shaft on the lowest setting possible, and actuated the footswitch 40-60 times; vacuumed over the switch with a handheld Dyson, and let a 20" box fan airdry the switches out for 2-3 hours. The first round got 10 out of the 12 switches working perfectly again, the Tap/Tuner + Snapshot/Preset/Stomp buttons (the two I probably use the most) needed a second round. I have a MIDI controller to remotely use the tap tempo, and it looks like everything is 1:1 on my footswtich presses on the Tap Tempo again :) Doesn't seem like there's any need to pull everything apart like in the video and on the thread. I'm glad I saw the guys post on the 2nd page.

So i have no right asking for things since Line 6 has just blessed me out the lollipop with this product over the last several years, but i would love to get some more of the boutique styled amps and im really liking the prospect of that leviathan. What the community out there is really looking at right now? Im definitely a High gain metal guy so thats my obsession. i feel like the effects pool is so big and unique that i could spend forever just there but im loving new cabs and amps. Plus a lot of metal amps still make for good softer tones too. but if anything i would LOVE to see a graphical update in the future. like with the face plates and stuff. it doesn't do anything other make me feel good to look at LOL but i do think there is something to that experience. maybe have a "simple" overlay and a "graphic" one that looks more analog that you can switch between in the global settings IDK i just freaking love this hardware and want more.

Your screenshots look like your Mac is running a MacOS version that is no more supported. HX Edit 3.80+ requires Catalina. But fear not, an intrepid fellow forum member has already figured out a hack that works: You can still use the Line 6 Updater and download and install the new firmware manually: https://line6.com/software

Is there a difference between serials that start with PG51M and those that start with 21PG5AM?

Thank you, you made my day.

There was one hardware change soon after the POD Go was released. That was a replacement of a part that affected the input impedance of the incoming guitar signal. The device serial number is the best way to determine whether a specific device is affected so you would need to contact Line 6 to determine whether a device is affected. If so Line 6 will repair it under a lifetime warranty for this specific fault. There have been no other hardware changes.

My system refuses to let me download 3.80, or skip over to 3.82. I've now wasted hours trying over and over to download / install these files, but it fails to download. I've rebooted the internet, which is working fine anyhow. Swapped the USB lead, to try and eliminate the possibility of these links being faulty, but it still refuses to play the game. Is there a way to download the files to my computer without connecting the Helix, then attach the Helix to transfer the files once they are on my system?

If it can interest some people here, I found a way to quantize my helix's looper thanks to a miniature device: https://jmkmusicpedals.com/products/clockstep-multi?srsltid=AfmBOor-CNf-A428Cy9B0GCMDNsU0uKwTOofn_L17jO-fzIKcg5qCIQS Helix's MIDI out to ClockStep MIDI IN and Clockstep MIDI out to Helix MIDI IN. Helix receive midi clock (in my case Clockstep is set to MIDI Channel 1 and Helix is set to MIDI Channel 2) The clockstep can CUE any MIDI messages and launch them at the top of the 1rst bar. The thing is (as the command center doesn't allow multiple assignation on one switch) I have to dedicate 1 switch to the "CUE" Fonction and as much as needed switches for the looper's functions (for example 4 switches for CUE, Record, Play, Stop). So I have to press before the next 1rst bar the "quantize" switch (to put in CUE the next MIDI Messages) and the "desired fonction(s)" switch(es). Regards

Hello there, have there been any hardware changes in the Pod Go since the release in 2020, or is the hardware sold today exactly the same as in 2020? If there have been some hardware changes since 2020, how can one find out the hardware version of a Pod Go? Thank you and kind regards, Ralf

A 10kOhm linear potentiometer on the tip of the TRS socket is expected. Most expression pedals have the reversed pot wired to the ring. With these use a TRS cable. A TS cable connects ring to ground which leads to unintended behavior.

Yes, that’s probably the safer setup. However, check the manual pg40 and note that it seems you can use each Send block only once in a preset. You would probably want to use Send 1 twice but won’t be able to do so. You might need to use Send 1 and Send 2 separately in each path, cabling both outputs, and then merge them somehow externally before your presumably mono DI box comes into play. Also make sure the Send block level (instrument vs line) is appropriate for your DI box input.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it! Regarding the XLR's: Thanks for the tip. I originally thought I would switch to using the LT's XLR's for FOH to avoid using a 1/4" send and my DI box (which is I do currently with the Stomp). But thinking about it, If I get the Helix LT, I'll use Send 1/2 rather than the XLR's and keep using the DI box. You never know whether FOH is going to send phantom power down their cable and the DI provides isolation from phantom power. And I just noticed the warning in the LT manual "IMPORTANT! Never connect the XLR outputs to a device whose XLR inputs have 48V phantom power enabled!" So, I'll follow your tip, but set both the Paths' outputs to be Send 1/2 and stick with the DI box approach.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue as well. Come on, Line 6. You have such great stuff, please get this fixed. There seems to be a lot of this happening. I've submitted a ticket for this, so we'll see what happens.

I don’t think you can route a Send block directly to an XLR output for FOH but I believe there’s a simpler setup to get the desired result. Remove the Send blocks and drag the following merge blocks from Path A down to Path B. This will create two additional Output blocks for Paths 1B and 2B respectively. Route each new Output block to the XLR outputs and then connect only the XLR Left/Mono output to FOH. …. and yes, the LT can do that.

And this is what seems to be the 2025 version of what Roland/Boss think of as a Variax. The VG-800. If it sounded even remotely close to what a Variax with Helix sounded like, I'd be thankful. But it sounds horrible (to my ears) and just does not scratch the surface of what the Variax already is. I think it's that maybe Roland did not get the proper licensing to build on the custom tones. With the proper IR tied to a piezo pickup it would seem that the cat is out of the bag and now it's just up to one of the big names to run with this in a way that won't break the bank.

My apologies. I meant pg38. Seems I was looking at the wrong manual.

No. best to use TRS as tip= signal, ring= +Vdc and sleeve is the signal return (ground). If using TRS does not fix, then something else is going on, and should be checked out by a Line 6 authorized service center.

HI Silvered Please find attached a screenshot of page 49 . I don't understand what mean to look at this page.Is all midi configurations.

Hello. I've been using an HX Stomp for years live and for sessions and love it. Unfortunately, with a new band, I have reached the limit being limited to the Stomp's one single signal path. I also find myself needing more DSP power, which the LT would resolve. So I'm trying to determine if the Helix LT will support what I need to do, routing-wise before I buy one (see attached diagram*): My situation: I need to route the signal from my bass to two separate amp blocks. From each amp block to separate EQ blocks and then out to the 1/4" L/mono output (for stage monitoring). Also from each amp block to separate cab blocks and from each cab block to a Send block to the same XLR output (for FOH). Can anyone who has a Helix LT confirm if this routing I show in the diagram would work or suggest another routing approach that accomplishes the same thing on the LT? I appreciate your time and thanks for reading! *Note: The diagram is simplified and does not show the other FX blocks I need. I'm just concerned about the routing.

I was under the impression that the TRS plug was only necessary when using the external power supply and not when using the battery. Is that not correct?
