https://line6.com/support/discover/Line 6 Community - All ActivityenNo, I dom't think you're acting neurotic. Who am I ro justify here... Probably I am a little bit pedantic but such odditiers can steal my sleep for days. On top of your described actions I searched snd removed everrything with "Line 6" in its keys or values of the registry. I analyzed all setup logs and driver inf too. Also I set up two new vanilla systems... No chance!Sun, 08 Mar 2026 17:24:49 +0000FWIW... I'm a 58 yo "child", too. I got mine in 2021, IIRC. It took me a while to get my head around it, but it's worth it. Patience, and Jason Sadites videos got me there. I also found the Worship Tutorial Channel useful. I think it's more about understanding the initial setup and preferences for your circumstances that makes the difference. If you can, you need to set aside an afternoon from time to time and just mess about with it.Sun, 08 Mar 2026 09:52:48 +0000This isn't just with ribbon mic and it's only on certain amps. And it's a noticeable difference. Support was going to forward my ticket on to QA.Sun, 08 Mar 2026 05:28:50 +0000yea, this. im hoping for more updates because there is no stadium stomp or lt etc. I mean hopefully theyre working on such in the future but theres a whole lot of us who dont need high end bells and whistles and price tag of the stadium series. I jam with friends in my garage. I certainly dont need a playback engine or other live performance functionality. I just bought a new LT because I couldnt justify $1000 more for the newer 30 or so agora amps. I had the stomp xl for 5 years and only now got to the point that I needed more dsp. the best business move is what apple does, have products at every price point and support them all.Sun, 08 Mar 2026 05:10:58 +0000I had this problem however I did not perform a reset to default. Also, even when no sound was coming out the meters did register audio. Hopefully my next statement would come back to haunt me. So far I still have audio working fine. I first create a playlist then import the stems into the song I create within the playlist. I use individual stems @ 44.1 kHz exported from Reaper after importing and setting as mono individual tracks. Stadium converts the files into stereo and whatever the rate is it needs for me (which I do not know off hand). I did have to careful with flags. The first time I had a couple on top of each other and thought I was loosing my mind. jpdSun, 08 Mar 2026 04:49:47 +0000Sun, 08 Mar 2026 04:33:24 +0000There currently is not an option to change this, although it would be possible for L6 do do this in a software revision. Somebody else asked the same question a while back and there was a reply that it cannot be done because the tap tempo button has red LEDs not multi-colored like the other buttons, however this is not true because I just noticed the other day that the LEDs change colors when the unit is playing a Showcase song, so it absolutely would be possible. I suggest submitting an enhancement request. I'm a bit OCD and I find the bright blinking tap tempo button to be distracting so I made a snap-on plastic cap with perforated holes to tone down the brightness a bit.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 23:01:09 +0000Sat, 07 Mar 2026 22:05:25 +0000Same problem, posting here for another data point and to follow. On a few occasions now I've loaded ~10 songs, all single tracks, and they work perfectly. After powering down and upon reboot, they look as though they are playing but there is no audio. And the Matrix screen song meter does not show activity. This seems random, sometimes they do work following reboots. I have also done a number of various sequences of backing up, factory resetting, restoring from backup, reloading songs, etc. I've yet to find any repeatable pattern.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 14:33:07 +0000Dear Line 6 Team, I’m writing regarding the upcoming Expand D10 module for the Helix Stadium system. I currently use a Helix Stadium together with Variax guitars and am particularly keen to restore VDI integration for recording and studio work. At the moment I am on the waitlist with Andertons Music in the UK, where I have been advised that availability may not be until around Autumn 2026. Because the D10 is important for my recording workflow, I wanted to ask whether there is any possibility of obtaining one earlier than that timeframe, or if there are any early access, beta evaluation, or limited release options available. If it helps, I would be very happy to provide feedback from real-world studio use once the unit is available. Many thanks for any information you are able to share. Best regards, MikeSat, 07 Mar 2026 06:13:20 +0000Often when electrolytics go bad, they physically expand in size. For example, the tops of them bulge upwards -- they become domed. So a bad one might not be difficult to spot.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 02:11:53 +0000Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:52:43 +0000I also received a response from Ben with Line 6: Yes, you can assign the inputs to either side of the signal path, e.g. input one goes to path A, input 2 to path B. You then pan the paths hard left/right and use the stereo outputs. See section 2-7 of the advanced guide. You will not have stereo put from the guitar or microphone in this setup. https://line6.com/legacy/podhdproxSat, 07 Mar 2026 01:46:54 +0000Actually, that is a very common speaker impedance for MODELING amps. It's NOT common for straight-up guitar amps where speaker changes are common. The Catalyst was never intended to be an FRFR amp. It is what it is advertised as and if that suits your purpose, great. My recommendation is to buy an amp that's intended for your purpose. Blackstar has a new FRFR amp that has a whizzer. Check it out. Fender, Laney and IK Multimedia also have FRFR cabs. Of course, they all cost at least twice what the Catalyst costs and are closed back cabs. I wonder why that is? Hmmm.... Good Luck on your whizzer adventure!Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:19:10 +0000I asked Line 6 for advice and got this: "Thanks for reaching out. This has not been vetted or tested by our engineers, so we can't comment on any modifications, I'm afraid. Swap speakers at your own risk. All the best, Hodgy Customer Support Team Yamaha Guitar Group" So, they sell amps with an uncommon speaker impedance that are designed to be a compromise. No frequency curves available. When purchasers wonder if they can get a bit more out of the amp and try an extremely common thing - changing speakers - the entire Tech Dept has never come across such a thing! The overwhelming results on the web for the change is "decreased output but harmless", so I'm going with that. One of the reasons for the change is I spent money on another Line 6 product (Helix Native) that has lots of wonderful cabs, includes the Cat amps, and lets me play with top tier IR's. If the speaker works as claimed, then I get the entire Catalyst collection plus everything else in the known guitar universe. More Is More (or MIM...)Fri, 06 Mar 2026 23:57:09 +0000Ribbon mics have a need for some space and the proximity effect is also used to control low frequency being overbearing, sometimes pulling the mic back a bit make a world of good differenceFri, 06 Mar 2026 23:49:41 +0000Slow reply - I didn't get a notification. I used to use poweramps into guitar speaker cabs, but it limited my pallette too much as the speaker has such a huge influence on tone. That aside, when I did I much preferred using the full amp model even though it includes the power amp section. Yes the preamp models are substantially quiter and need additional volume, but they also sounded thin to me. Irrispective of what you use, pre or full, you should be aiming for consistency in levels at the patch stage and then tuning the actual output to the out put device (eg line level PA vs instrument level amp head). I've always used a full Helix and/or LT so can't advise the easiest approach for that on a XL, but on the Helix I would use a gain block at the end of the patch, or the output level to adjust. If using different set-ups, copy the patch, adjust output levels and name for that output, or keel in a seperate user list.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 22:06:41 +0000Thanks for the hint. It was installed. But it led to crashes instantly. So I removed it via Line 6 uninstaller and removed the remains in device manager. Then I did a reinstall of the Stadium app because it seems to install everything needed.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:31:20 +0000ReverendLove, Do you still have Line6Central installed? I believe you do but I do not remember if I specifically asked you and just assumed from your previous statements it is still installed. If not I do not recommend installing it now. If you do, please let me know. jpdFri, 06 Mar 2026 19:06:56 +0000I have one that may be close to 64, but I haven't counted. I will have to look later.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:56:17 +0000I'm just looking for button when I'm in a cab/pedal to flag them all as snapshot controlled. Maybe not all parameters across all, but you understand what I'm saying. It's easier to uncheck than check them all for me. That or have a checkbox button or icon that a single click would do the same and set the parameter. The right click is tedious for user experience and would be a nice improvement however it's implemented.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:55:13 +0000Maybe you both could test whether this limit still exists. Try to assign more than 64 parameters in a preset to the Snapshot controller. Let us all know the result.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:41:10 +0000You are not the only one. Nothing reminds me I’m not as smart as I think I am faster than struggling with making changes to Snapshots and saving them!Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:29:53 +0000I believe that Snapshot parameter control has a limit of 64 parameters. At least it did in OG Helix and I haven’t seen any info to the contrary in Stadium. Any reasonably complex or powerful preset would exceed that limit quickly if all parameters for every block were included. A single amp and cab would chew up nearly half of that, never mind the multi tap 6 delay block. How would you want to be able to specify your desired 64 when the limit is exceeded? But perhaps this limit has quietly been removed in Stadium. I’m not 100% sure.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:29:44 +0000I think it would be great to have one button in HX Edit or Stadium app to set all parameters to snapshot control without having to click every option and change it for each. I can't be the only one that thinks this would be helpful :)Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:37:01 +0000
