"This Amp Model is based on the Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier®. For Spider Valve, we made careful enhancements to this classic tone. The resulting Amp Model has a definite modern flavor. This monster truck of tone delivers a tight bottom end that’s big, powerful, tight and fast. Use this Amp Model to get a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound."

They really must have dialed that sucker in because I've never gotten something that was both as "warm" and "tight" as this.  Any and all input is welcome, and thanks!

these guys are using an hx stomp

The first part sounds like an envelope of sorts but the following choruses sound like the 3 osc. There’s even a bit of glitching. 
 

the original song using a synth but it’s really cool that they were able to get close with the hx stomp. 
 

I’ve tried but haven’t had much luck. Almost sounds like a mini moog. Would appreciate any tips or thoughts

I am new to the Line 6 Helix family.  While it took a hot minute to figure out much about the new Helix Stadium Floor, I really like it a lot!

I come from having a Fractal FM9 for 3 years.  Although I had dialed in some very nice tones for live play, I finally got so frustrated when needing to tweak things through the hardware, that I sold it and got the Helix Stadium.  (I think Fractal expects you to have a computer programming degree, and that's just not my thing)

So, I had created a number of clean and dirty tones to use live, and I think, for the most part, things sounded good.

One of my favorites, was a close "copy" of Kfir Ochaion from YouTube. Kfir is super talented and he plays the main melody to karaoke, or backing tracks of popular songs.  Well, after my band broke up, that's what I started doing and now play solo gigs around town and having a blast!

However, I can't seem to find the right way to dial in one of his tones.

If anyone can help me, I'd be willing to pay for the help.  Here is a link to Kfir playing "Careless Whisper" with a metal tone, but it is so crisp, yet airy, with plenty of drive, but not at all grainy or overly distorted.  This tone would fit for so many songs I play, and I really want to get it close.

Please let me know if you can help and we can discuss details.

Thanks much,

Kory 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Bit of a rookie question but are there any presets that I can download that would be just a series of 8 commonly used stompboxes (reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, flanger e.t.c) that I could then run through my amp (Marshall JVM) to colour the sound and where should I look for them? Basically, I want to be using the amps usual channels and having the Helix act like a standard pedalboard.  I know I need to set the LT up via the four cable method for this but where on the LT can you select for 8 stomp mode? (I can only seem to find 8 snapshots/presets and a combination of stomp/snap)

Thanks

My pedalboard is ToneDexter (IR) -> Diamond Comp (Optical Compressor) -> Para EQ (parametric EQ) -> Boss OC3 (Octaver) -> TC Delay (Slapback Delay) -> Hall Reverb.

All of this seems possible in the HX stomp (IR -> Comp -> Parametric EQ etc.) but not with the Octaver.

The Boss OC3 has a 'filter' knob so that the octave signal can be applied only to the E and A strings, for example. The Helix has a 'Boctaver' based on the OC2 that DOES NOT HAVE a fliter. (*Essentially the 'filter' on the OC3 and OC5 was a game changer for acoustic guitar players, whereas the OC2 has little value for acoustic players)

How can I set up a Helix stomp so that the Octave effect is ONLY applied to low E and A strings on an acoustic guitar? And how could I output a 'mixed' signal of 6 strings of 'normal' acoustic guitar, plus with the added Octave below on the E and A strings?

Thanks for any help or insight anyone can offer.

For those of you who’ve mastered your Line 6 setups (AMPLIFi, Helix, POD Go, etc.), what specific approaches or settings helped you achieve a balanced, articulate tone?

• Do you start with factory presets or build from scratch?
• Any EQ or cab/IR tips that made a big difference?
• How do you keep high‑gain tones tight without sounding harsh?

I’d love to hear your workflow, favorite tricks, or even example settings that helped you get the sound you wanted.

wondering if anyone has tried to recreate Stephens unique classical guitar sound in the helix?

looking for guidance on Native Helix tube amp settings for that bluesy tone where the amp is on the edge of breaking up rather than just sounding distorted.  Any thoughts are welcome.  

Also, I tend to keep my Volume knob at about 1 or 2 o'clock to keep some headroom. What do you all keep your Volume knob at?

Thanks

I recently purchased a Line 6 HX Stomp XL and I have a Taylor 414-CE guitar. I am using the Line 6 HX Stomp XL as an audio interface. I am facing an issue that the signal is too low while recording, and waves are too weak. I have tried a couple of solutions. I think I missed some settings. I don't want to add a gain block,  I want to fix the root cause.

Can someone please guide me on this?

In global settings, input and Output are Inst.

Thank you

PODxt Live is a more advanced device with additional amp models and features that aren't present in the original POD 2.0. While Line 6 Edit can import .L6T files, presets created for POD 2.0 may not sound identical on the PODxt Live. Some parameters might be interpreted differently, and effects routing or amp models may need manual tweaking after import

Good Audio Interface & Drivers: Use a low-latency interface, install the latest official drivers.
Adjust Buffer Size: Lower buffer for recording (e.g., 64-128 samples), higher for mixing.
Consider Sample Rate: Experiment with higher sample rates (e.g., 48kHz).
Utilize Direct Monitoring: Monitor input signals directly through interface.
Optimize Computer & DAW: Close unnecessary programs, freeze/render tracks, update DAW.
 

I don't know if this is correct or will work.

Not sure if allowed – I have a tone I’ve been using in Logic Pro for years and haven’t had much luck translating that into the Helix universe.

Happy to pay for your service.

Thanks,

Noah

have helix LT which is awesome device and Iam overwhelmed with options and opportunities BUT let me explain  you something…  okay we are starting :

I run hybrid board with helix ,real amp cab and of course my precious  real pedals, I use helix both ways :1)I run my real pedalboard into fxloops and use it as block in the patches which is cool , problem is my dirt pedals dont sound that “Alive” through the fxloops, something is off especially with guitar and less off with bass( Im mostly playing bass guitar ) .

2) I use helix into amps fxloop as additional modulation/synths platform or use effects on Helix and just bypassing my real amp and use ampsims from helix .

my question is -can I route my signal that way where I can switch between “helix main Center with real pedalboard as block in the patch”  and “ helix supporting device / helix effects with sims” just w/ one footclick to put my pedals from helix fxloop into amp and back ? It seems that regular ABY switch won’t help me or am I wrong ? 
Some of  you guys have maybe routing guide how to do it ? Or did it before ? Have something to share ?

please !

Thank  you

Does anyone have any idea of where to start with finding this sound on a Helix please? It's a croaky, squared-off wave sort of distortion.

Cheers,

Steve

When creating my own tones, or modifying presets, or downloads, what's the recommended order or signal flow, if any. I've seen "recommendations" on the web from trusted sources like Sweetwater below that say: 

• Filters and EQ — wah, auto-wah, graphic, and parametric EQ
• Compressor — FET, opto, VCA, tube, or digital
• Boost — clean boost and/or buffer
• Gain — overdrive, distortion, fuzz, etc.
• Noise Gate — placed at this point in the signal chain because gain pedals are usually the noisiest
• Volume Pedal — placed at this point in the chain to control the level feeding the amp without affecting the amount of input to gain pedals
• Tuner 
• Modulation — phase shifter, tremolo, chorus, flanger, rotating speaker simulator, etc.
• Delay — analog, digital, tape, etc.
• Reverb — hall, room, spring, plate, etc.
• AMP (FRFR) 

 After all that they say "experiment"!

But the presets on the Spider and Amplifi TT all vary in signal chain order with the Amp/Cab in various places in the chain.  

What works best for classic R&R and R&B sound?

Thanks :)

Gostei muito das atualizações para o HX Stomp, mas agora acho que deveria haver uma atualização para captura, já que o Ampero Stomp 2 teve essa atualização. Nós, consumidores da Linha 6, estamos esperando por isso. Vamos esperar com antecedência.

Question, est que Line 6 a dans ses projets, un nouveau Helix avec un écran tactile, avec ou sans pédale d'expression ???

Si quelqu'un a des infos sur les produits à venir pour 2025, je reste dans l'attente de vos réponses

I am currently running my HX stomp into a iPad Pro via usb, then into Bose S1 pro, and need some guidance.

My tone sounds very thin, tinny, hollow, when the usb is plugged in. When plugging into my computer or no plug at all, it sounds a lot better. Has anyone else run into this issue? I’ve tried a lot of amps, and cabs (never the combo), and am struggling to get a more full and rich sound. 
 

Thankful for any help I can get!

Thanks

I have a Line 6 Spider V, and I've recently been diving into the world of midwest emo and math rock. I've wanted to get similar tones to Tiny Moving Parts. The album I'd like to get closest to is their "breathe" album (most known song being Medicine). I've checked the shared tones on here in the custom tones thing and none of the ones in there are even remotely close to the songs they're attempting to emulate.

I know compression, pickup switch position, and even pickup type are all important to this sound and have all of that covered, but I just can't wrap my head around the rest of the tone. Has anybody had any luck getting close to TMP's tone at all?

How can I reload the preset again?
