All Activity

I would just take off the pedal, and get a small external one and velcro it to the body.

You’re correct. Everything is stored on the device(s). HX Edit does not have a local copy of any data other than a single edit buffer for the active preset. To answer your question the HX Edit manual says this: The HX Edit application supports the use of multiple-connected Helix/HX devices simultaneously, where each device displays its own full application window. The separate windows can be resized and/or positioned on your screen independently, making it easy to reference and edit presets and settings, as well as copy presets and IRs between the multiple USB-connected devices. Please also see “GUI Overview” on page 9. TIP: You can also use the Copy and Paste commands or drag and drop to copy a block and its current settings from one HX Edit device window to another! To access the separate application windows for each connected device, simply go to the HX Edit Devices menu, select the desired device to display, and bring its HX Edit window to the foreground—a checkmark at the left of a device here indicates the device window that is currently in the foreground. If any of your devices become disconnected, its entry within this menu displays “Not connected” to indicate this.

Greetings all, I own 2 helix effects, a floor and a stomp. On one of them (STOMP), I've kept an extensive list of favorite effects that I commonly use. I configure both devices with HXedit under windows. Much to my surprise, it looks like the favorites are stored with the DEVICE, not the PC and HXedit. Reason I say that is when I patch in the other helix device (Floor) to my pc editor, I do not get the (STOMP) favorites. Is it possible to access STOMP favorites on my helix FLOOR? Thanks ! Joe

Ah, ok. Thanks for the quick reply :-)

You missed the banner in the top section of this page, titled Ideascale Retirement.

Hi, fellow L6 Users, Did I miss an email or memo? It seems IdeaScale is no more and you can only submit "Product Feedback" on the Line 6 webpage. There doesn't seem to be a way I can find to view/monitor other users' ideas and comments for present and future products now. That's really too bad, it was good to know what others thought about additions to already great products. Does anyone know if a new format/website was created to allow users to submit ideas? Thanks. Dan

Hardware: Helix LT Firmware/Editor: Firmware 3.80; HX Edit 3.82 Bug: Brit 2203 volume is now extremely loud, i have had to re-adjust all my patches with this amp as the volume is now way too loud after the update

By "powering up while pressing the left arrow key" you have done basically a "Global Parameters Reset" but unfortunately in this case it didn't work to solve your boot loop issue. At this point I would suggest to power up while pressing instead the down arrow key for direct access to Flash Memory update mode and then update the firmware through Monkey (at this time possible only in offline mode if you have downloaded the firmware file) or Line6 Central, which procedure would cause a Full Reset of the device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I have had the same issue since day one.My exp ped goes to whatever max point I spec, but it only goes about 1/2 way to what min I spec. Should have returned it immediately. But I figured there must be a way to calibrate the built in exp pedal. There is not. And clearly Line 6 has chosen to simply not acknowledge the issue. I’ve had Line6 gear since 1999, a big fan, but they have a history of ignoring “known issues” like this. I did remove the rubber heel stopper which helped a bit, but still very frustrated by this design flaw.

I've seen a few instances of these things going into an endless boot loop, and powering up while pressing the left arrow key seems to be the common recommended fix. That isn't working for mine, unfortunately. Is there any other way to reset this thing? A reset button or jumper on a circuit board, maybe? I'm pretty sure the problem is a corrupted patch, because I loaded a few new ones on right before this started. Unfortunately it happened as the countdown was ending right before my Easter set at church started. Fortunately the keyboard player saw what had happened and was able to cover most of my lead lines as I went through the motions. Anyways, I'm trying to reset this thing but nothing I'm reading on the great and mighty Google seems to be having any effect. I'm not sure I want to spend a whole lot of money tying to repair this thing since there's so little support for it these days. Might be the Good Lord telling me it's time to get a Helix... If anyone has successfully rescued their rig from this loop by any means other than the ones that don't seem to work for me, I'd love to hear about it....

Hi, Ah, yeah, I suppose you could try using a Behringer Ultra-DI D120, if you have the cables for the job. Your LT model doesn't have a second input for guitar, whereas my Helix Floor has a dedicated AUX input rated at 10kΩ for bass or guitars with active pups. Also the Send/Return jack sockets are specifically designed for use as additional inputs and outputs for connecting keyboards, drum machines, mixers, and other gear at line, or instrument level. Before converting to digital multi-fx I ran mainly EXH pedals including, a Big Muff Pi, Small Stone, Electric Mistress Deluxe, Memory Man and even a very rare Crying Muff Wah pedal, but I never felt the need to have them running full time, which is why I don't understand you needing to have a dedicated fuzz path. Each to their own, I guess. Happy trails

Hi, As noted by @codamedia in the post above - every cab and mic placement is a different IR (there are thousands of them included in the firmware) which takes time to load, and similarly with the Snapshots. Hope this helps/makes sense.

The stocks cabs are a series of IR's.... so changing the mics, or their positions would be loading new IR's. Selecting the same snapshot is doing a full reset on that snapshot. It is still probably unloading/loading the right IR. Makes sense. If the assignments still exist, it is still loading/unloading that IR in the background even if the block is bypassed. If you have DSP available... reposition some blocks and load a couple different cab blocks. Turning them on/off as needed "shouldn't" create a gap... it's just the initial loading that does. That may require some juggling... as I think you can only get 1 stereo cab block on each path... but I'm not positive about that.

Thank you , I have a DI box that do the trick , I thought helix can do it without external device . fuzz I use is ordinary bigmuff( black and silver )

I put a couple of songs in my music website: "Keep Me Alive" is the song on top, and "Take Away the Blame 4" is the next song down. One song uses Roland COSM for all guitar amp modeling, and the other song uses Helix for all guitar amp modeling. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like the music, and how it can be improved. Here is my link: https://www.soundclick.com/aaronaardvark

Hello Peter, From the Mission Engineering page for the EP1-L6 Expression Pedal. ”The Mission EP1-L6 connects to the Line 6 device with a single TS cable. TRS cables are not required for Line 6 expression pedals. TRS expression pedals are not compatible with most Line 6 products. Line 6 specific pedals should be used with Line 6 devices.” Your standard Stereo cable is TRS - Tip/Ring/Sleeve is not compatible. Use a regular cable. TRS cables are used for Amp channel switching. From the HX Effects 3.80 Owners Manual. Alternatively, either jack can be connected to your traditional guitar amp to switch its channels or turn its reverb on and off. Use a TRS cable for dual operation (A=tip, B=ring). To set this jack’s function. See “Global Settings > Preferences” Hope this helps/makes sense.

I wonder if they still replace these units. I bought mine in Jan 2018 and haven't used the pedal much. Decided to use it yesterday modulating some effects and it was broken. Already opened a support ticket. Also since I don't have any warranty after 7 years I've decided to open the Helix LT and take a look at what's happening inside. It seems to be the same problem that people were having years ago. I've taken a few pictures. The other side

Hello I have an Hx Effects on my pedal board, actual with a cheap volume pedal made of plastic. I wanted to exchange it against something more stable and bought the Mission Engineering EP1-L6-BK. Connected with a standard stereo cable it's working for nothing (0%) or full volume (100%) as soon as I lift it a little bit from the "0" position I have already full volume. Did also try it on the Hx effects only without the other effects and programmed a new file in the Hx effects with the volume button only after I did the learn progress. I have no idea what else I can do - any hints ? best Peter

Yes, me!

Just adding +1 to the list. I use a GigRig G3 to manage my MIDI switching and, since updating to 3.81.00 I'm seeing the same problem. My 'clean' patch on each G3 bank sends a PC message to HX One to select the relevant effect e.g. Chrome Custom wah. Works perfectly the first time I select the clean patch, but when I move to another preset (e.g. drive) and back again, the second (and subsequent) issuing of the same PC command causes the flux/exp feature to lock up - the only workaround is to select another patch on HX One before re-triggering the original PC message.

I suspect a power supply problem. You mention ‘at home’ as distinct from some other place so I doubt it has anything to do with the house/venue power. More likely the POD Go wall wart is failing or there’s an internal circuitry issue. If you can get another power supply I would try that first.

I've had this issue happen more than a few times. I'm practicing with my band and suddenly my Pod Go will go silent. Everything is on, just no output. The only way I've found to resolve it is to turn it off and then back on- not ideal in the middle of a song. It happened again at home. I turned it off and back on which worked for a minute or so and then it went silent again. I turned it off and back on again and the problem went away. I run into FRFRs at home but at practice I run the left (mono) out to a board. It happens either way. I'm running firmware version 2.50 but this has happened on previous versions as well. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks, Kyle

Hello I have a Hx Effects on my pedalboard where I wanted to replace an older plastic volume pedal with a Mission Engineering Expression Pedal, the Mission Engineering EP1-L6-BK. Did connect it but it‘s not really working, there is nothing between 0% or 100%. As soon as ai release a bit from 0% it goes to 100%. Did try different settings and also connected it directly to the Hx Effects. It‘s connected by an oridnary stereo cable. Any advice ?

O.K. Here we go. I did say it would be helpful to know what you are trying to connect to the front of your Helix LT. Your answer is - a fuzz pedal. Great, that’s really specific - a generic fuzz pedal. Anyhow, the thing about why your “fuzz” pedal “overcomes and degrades the signal” in the FX Loop is more than likely due to a thing known as “impedance”, and not all fuzz pedals are the same and the impedance can vary, even between models of the same type. The cable between your guitar and fuzz pedal will load the pickups with the impedance of the pedal, which will affect the tone of your guitar. If you connect the fuzz pedal to the FX Loop, you don’t have that impedance loading present and it so sounds different. (The Helix has lots of ways of dealing with impedance in the Global settings). If you stick a fuzz pedal in front of the Helix, then you can only have clean guitar tone when the fuzz is off (bypassed) or fuzzy when on (engaged). All or nothing! To achieve both clean and dirty, you would need to have a cable that split the guitar signal into 2 mono cables. First would go to the fuzz pedal and then to the LT guitar in socket to Path 1A. The second would connect to one of the the Return sockets on the LT and feed Path 1B which would be split directly after the main input. Path 1A = Fuzzy and Path 1B = Clean. Hope this helps/makes sense. Here’s a link to a discussion about Fuzz & Impedance. EDIT: Here ya go - load this into your Helix LT. Connect a signal splitter/ dual cable to your guitar. 1 into fuzzbox out to Path1A, other cable into Return 1 feeds Path 1B. Change Amp and FX and populate the preset with whatever you want. Fuzz n Clean.hlx

thank you for your fast reply. fyi, when I referred to function. I was meaning value. I just couldnt think of how to ask my question at the time. cheers!
