I don't know how I've never run into this issue before, but I'm trying to sort out all my IRs; deleting the ones I don't use, and add some new ones. I made a list of the ones that are being used in my presets. I then went into HX EDIT, and realised that I can't see most of the complete names of the IRs. I can extend the right panel of the Edit window (that displays the Edit window), but can't extend the left panel (that displays the Presets, IRs + Favorites). Has anyone else had an issue with this? It's a pain, because I want to select all, and then simply de-select the ones I DON'T want to delete off of my Helix, while clearing out the rest. Now, I feel like I'm going to have to clear out all, one by one...?

Thanks for reply. It appears that the midi system and instant commands work somewhat differently in the stadium. Solved by assigning the command to an unused snapshot and clearing it on the used snapshots. The Gr55 works as it should now. Thanks.

G10S/G10Sii not sure if they are the same to be honest as some places referenced it as either but G10S/G10Sii seem to have been unavailable for some time so will go looking for a different system if its not coming back. Not sure why its on the Line6 site yet not available anywhere?

I’m not sure but perhaps there’s a global setting that will help?

Hi. Hope someone can help. Just moved to stadium from helix lt. transferred all my patches no problem. I have an issue where when I send midi instant pc change to my Roland gr55 via snapshots it seems to re-send the command and I have to wait for the patch to reset leaving me with a an abrupt gap in the sound. I can configure it to be ok going up snapshots but when I come back to snap one it cuts it again. No such problem with the old LT. Help needed desperately as I’ve a gig next weekend. Should have said, I’m not trying to change the patch on the GR55 but keep it the same whilst using snapshots. Thanks for reading.

I doubt that you’re doing anything incorrectly. It’s likely a glitch that nobody has ever seen before. I can’t imagine going through 50 pages of Customtone preset listings and wishing I could see 950 more. If you want to pursue this you can open a support ticket.

Then it has MIDI DIN ports and all you need is a controller with DIN ports and a MIDI DIN cable of an appropriate length. If you choose to go wireless then you'll need a wireless to MIDI DIN adapter. I don't recommend wireless. I find it to be undependable on a good day. YMMV. Catalyst Edit continues to work with a USB cable to whatever computer/iThingy that you're currently using.

There’s a very detailed and helpful online manual that will answer most of your basic questions.

Sorry, my amp is a CX 100

I'm basically trying to check out the presets/patches for the Helix LT via the CustomeTone page. However, no matter what I sort it by (rating, style, etc.), it only allows me to load searches until page 50, even though it's showing me a search of a 1000 pages. If i try to load any page past pg. 50, it takes me back to the "Your Products" tab. Why is this? Is this a glitch, a browser issue, or something that I'm doing incorrectly?

I have a DT25 head purchased in 2009. Up until now it was performing perfectly. While in standby mode when I left for a short time and came back, the power was off. Investigation found the AC power fuse blown (for reasons unknown). Tube fuse was ok. Pulled the old power tubes and put in 2 new ones thinking maybe they were the problem? Put in a new AC fuse and it blew instantly as well. I did not have a 12AX7 to swap in. The amp was plugged in to a AVR which I have used for years in including my past Spider Valve 212 (regret selling it). Never had a problem with it and still use it. Questions below. 1) Could the 12AX7 possibly be the problem? 2) Does this feel like a transformer problem? 3) If the power transformer is shot, does that mean the amp in now a brick? My understanding from a number posts I have read, that there is no source for a replacement transformer for these amps today? Any help would be appreciated ... thanks.

Dandesy…thank you so much! I just started messing around with the device without really knowing what i was doing and thought something went wrong, lol.

With so many guitarrists going crazy about NAM A-2, wouldn't it be interesting if Line 6 were to offer a firmware upgrade to the POD Express family to include NAM A2 capability? They would not be messig up with Helix for now, but with this more humble unit. Thoughts?

I would like to use my PG (FW 2.50) as an alternative to my Fractals on occasion, however there seems to be an issue with the output levels. The PG cannot provide the same undistorted clean output levels as my Fractals. I have my PG set up with FP volume knob set to control only the main outs and also have the main outs set to line level. The PG level is significantly lower compared to equivalent Fractal levels. For example, my FM3 out level is about 450 mVrms, measured on an oscilloscope, with the level just about into the red overdrive level on the FM3 built-in preset leveler. The clean signal is audibly undistorted running into my FRFR Go. The PG main output, with the volume knob at max, only gets up to about 175 mVrms before the clean signal begins to distort audibly, into the same FRFR Go with the controls unchanged. This is a factor of about 2.5 less than the FM3, and is nearly 1/10th the value of the line level +4dBU level of 1.228 VRMS, or 1228 mVrms. This could be significant if I want to use the PG at gigs, I'll need to either turn up my monitor/amp to compensate, resulting in less headroom than I would have available with the FM3, which is important when reproducing clean signals at gig levels, or use an external amplifier to boost the level out of the PG. I'd prefer to avoid either scenario. Is there some setting I'm missing in the PG? I've double-checked the settings and all is as expected. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Appreciate the help as always! EDIT FWIW I was thinking about this - I had used the PG with a previous band before I had my Fractals, and at one or two gigs when the band became loud I recall even with the monitor (Yamaha DBR10) at max I had difficulty in getting enough volume out of it to be heard. I haven't had this issue with the Fractals.

Great! Hope you enjoy your setup.

Appreciate pointing me in the right direction. I now have SONAR up and working with the Trial version of Stadium Native working within it. I'll tinker for a bit before I decide to buy the full version (probably will do so). Thanks again

Hi, you helpful guy in Texas. You sent me the solution for my longtime problem. Now iI works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

Correction: marked "NFX TOP."

After a long hiatus due to a health issue, I'm getting back to a Variax 300 Nylon I bought a few years ago. It's in excellent condition, other than the high E string (#1) having almost no output. BTW, I have a JTV-89F, Acoustic 700, Helix, and more that all work well, and have hoarded some spare parts where feasible. On disassembling and measuring, I found that the bottom (and top) of the saddle slot has a subtle radius. However, the bottom of my current saddle is flat. So, there is insufficient pressure on the piezo strip at the end, which happens to manifest as the high end in this case. There's about 0.012" gap at string #1. This leads to questions: 1. Do all stock Nylons have a radiused saddle? If so, this would mean mine was replaced at some point. 2. Per another discussion, the bottom of stock saddles also have arches. I expect these are to concentrate pressure on the piezo strip areas below each string, given the low tension for nylon strings. Is this true for all Nylons produced? 3. Is it still possible to obtain a replacement saddle through Line 6, given that we are at 8/2026? Also, I would like to buy a spare piezo (marked "NXP TOP") if possible. As an unrelated question: the guitar came with an XPS Mini power supply. I found a statement (I'll have to dig it up) that the 300s have higher power requirements than subsequent Variaxes, and an XPS A/B Box (I have several) are considered insufficient spec-wise. I would like to have confirmation or denial. As a hack, I sanded the bottom of my saddle for the necessary radius and it fixed the issue. I'm contemplating dremeling arches between the string positions, but will await any responses. Thanks! -Stan

You need to go back to the preset setlist. The new preset is saved to the user one.

As is often said, the devil is in the details, and you didn't specify the model of your Catalyst. Since the connections are not obvious, I'll assume that you have a Catalyst 60, which does not have a MIDI DIN Port. To use MIDI you'll either need a HOST (a computer, iPhone or iPad), a MIDI controller that doubles as a HOST. or a HOST "box". Amazon.com: M-VAVE Chocolate Plus MIDI Footswitch Controller Pedal, 4 Buttons, USB Compatible, APP Control, Portable : Musical Instruments I've never used this, so read everything you can find about it. AFAICT, you should be able to simply connect a USB-B to USB-C cable from your Cat60 to the Chocolate+ and use the wireless app to program it. If you choose to go this way, buy it from a store with a no-questions-asked return policy. It's non-host version gets good reviews on The Gear Page. If you have an iPhone/iPad (idk about androids) you can connect directly and the iThingy will serve as a host. I recommend getting a powered hub instead of direct connect, else usable time will be limited by the battery in your iThingy. I use this with my iPad: Amazon.com: Anker USB C Hub, 5-in-1 USBC to HDMI Splitter with 4K Display | 85W Max PD, 1 Powered USB-C 5Gbps & 2 Powered USB-A 3.0 5Gbps Data Ports, for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Dell and More (Black) : Electronics You can also connect a standard (non host) MIDI controller using one of these: Amazon.com: CME H2MIDI Pro Compact USB Host MIDI Interface | Router, Filter, Mapper, 32-Bit Processor, Dual Power Mode, Minimal Size, For Guitarists & Producer : Musical Instruments There are other products at various prices in all of the above categories. I suggest that you do your due diligence before deciding which way to go.

The Stadium manual implies that the ASIO Settings in the DAW should allow buffer size to be selected. I'm using Ableton (in Windows) and the Stadium ASIO settings in there show the buffer fixed at 64, with no option to change it. This is fine for recording, but it might be good to be able to increase it for playback where latency is less significant. Is this just Ableton, or is the Stadium manual misleading?

Can someone please confirm that the USB-C interface is USB 2.0 and not something higher than that? I'd like to use a 1.8m cable, which will be fine for USB 2.0, but not (I think) for USB 3.0. I've looked in the USB Audio section of the manual, but I can't see anywhere that it specifies this.

That sounds super frustrating! You can definitely download the firmware update file directly to your computer first. Just head over to the official Line 6 updates page, select the Helix and your OS, and download the 3.82 installer manually. Once saved on your PC, launch HX Edit, connect your unit, and select the local file to update offline without relying on the app’s autodownloader.

Thank you......yes using PC
