Touch FS3. That information is on the HX Stomp Cheat Sheet. Probably a good opportunity to check if all information on it are known to master navigating the device.

To the best of my knowledge - L6 does not sell parts to consumers. But parts are available from various outlets across the web. Also, what many of us have done (and I am sure you have at one point or another).... Because of the age of some devices, you can find many "free, you haul" items to use as parts.

Based on what I can see of your right hand in the video, this behaviour is normal depending on your Global Settings-> Footswitches assignments. If you have FS3 set to the default Tap/Tuner assignment, and you also have the Stomp Select set to the default Touch, then when the side of your hand touches FS3 as you rotate the knobs, it activates the Tempo or Tuner display. Read the manual description to discover your options and experiment to decide what settings work best for you. To test this, make sure your right hand does not touch FS3 as you rotate the knobs. The symptom and your annoyance should disappear.

Hello! I am having an EXTREMELY annoying problem with the HX Stomp I have just bought. When I am selecting some effect using the knob, it abruptly changes to "TEMPO" settings for no know reason. This can't be normal. I have recorded a video to illustrate the problem: I have already updated the firmware, but it did not solve the problem. Anyone here know what may be happening?

Powering up via power strip vs power switch is the same from a technical standpoint regarding the operation of the LT.

From a safety/technical standpoint is there any reason why it would be bad for me to power up in this fashion? I know some of L6's POD floor boards didn't have a power switch so i'm not sure if the switch is there merely as a "luxury" type feature or not.

Not with Helix. The Variax does that.

I would like to know if it is possible to create presets of OPEN tunings, for example open tuning in D (NB - I'm not talking about detuning). Thx

What I really need is the selecter switch for my Spider V 120, and was wondering if anyone would know where I could locate one. Some how it got hit and half-way came apart, and I already have put it back together once, but its time for me to get a new one and desolder it off the board and resolder a new one on.

Unfortunately, I have the exact same problem. Anyone come along with any solutions or is it a electronics malfunction? Any help would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks!

I'm here in Cleveland, Ohio and pretty much do my own electronics work. On all of my Line 6 gear, are all out of warranty and i was just wondering if Line 6 would sell parts to the public?

The problem could also be due instead to old solder joints of some SMD components that need to be reflowed, as described in the following post: https://line6.com/support/topic/33436-pod-hd-300-problem/?do=findComment&comment=497988 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Thanks for the updates, will this be usable with stomp xl?

Thanks for the quick reply, I've already reinstalled the firmware and made a factory reset but no luck Guess it will have to visit the service, since took off the back plate but there are no visible damaged capacitors. I'll try changing the impedance value, but since this error is kinda random (Like last night, the pod worked like a charm) I think one cap is going to give up sooner or later.

Use the left input of the Stomp.

@rd2rkthanks for checking this out! He has the board now and doing some gigs, it works fine despite the quirk just using the right output. We still want to solve it so we are meeting next week to double check his settings and patches, as well as cabling.

The members of this forum are just simple users like you and me. For your specific problem it would be best to contact the Line6 official support guys by creating a new support ticket: Create a new Support Ticket _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

My difference was simple. Finally got a chance to look last night. Stomp had Outputs at Inst, and LT was at Line. Easy fix, just never looked before.

You are using a fixed power amp and cabinet.... that means you need to turn off the cab modeling in the Helix. Cab/mic modeling into a real cab is NOT a good starting point. It may work when someone is really knowledgeable about what they are after, but the general rule is to turn it off! Relying on factory presets is futile at best, but the majority of those will have cabinets loaded. When creating presets just add a "preamp" or "amp"... do not add "amps+cab" When editing others presets, replace the "amp+cab" with a "preamp" or "amp". (If the preset has separate amp & cab blocks, just remove the cab block) NOTE: When doing presets without cabs, going direct or using headphones will not be a good idea.

Hello everybody, when I try to purchase the bass pack for my newly acquired pod hd pro x, it's impossible to pay the product, I get error messages. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance

I read through the post and didn't find a question mark. Bummer.

I have a couple thoughts for you to consider: This is a good video from YouTube where user that has replaced the speaker in his Spider V 20 MKII. Just remember the Speaker is 4 Ohms' My second thought is to use the 4 Band Semi Parametric EQ shape the tone to your liking. Another good video from YouTube. Hope this helps. Bill

Your description of the signal chain sounds like the Vertex "Stereo" wiring that you get when you scan the QR Code. In terms of physical wiring that's pretty straight forward, with the addition of the L/R from the last "Time Based Effect" being connected to the HXS L/R Inputs and the HXS L/R Main Outputs connected to the Vertex L/R Inputs and on to the amps. If I've got that right, then apart from defective cables, that leaves the internal routings of the patches in the "Time Based Effects" and the HXS. Check the patches in the H90 and Big Sky to be sure that they are outputting on both channels. Remember that unless ALL blocks in the HXS signal chain are stereo (or the Path is SPLIT and recombined, in which case BOTH the A and B paths will be STEREO and can contain stereo FX) the signal will be summed to MONO. Check any SPLIT and MIX points for panning issues. Attach a copy of the preset that you want to use (the client's original? NOT a screenshot!) so that we can have a look at it.

Thank you! I’ll give it a go.

Hi, Now, I’m really confused? Are you the same guy who started this thread? After a year, you now find that you cannot create a good tone using the Helix LT with the SD PS 170 and a 2x12 cab. You don’t tell us in what scenario you using, or intend to use, this set up - studio, live, bedroom? As I stated way back in your previous thread about comparison with YouTube videos - “if you are not using the exact same guitar, strings, technique, play back system, monitors and listening environment what do you think it would sound like?” Much like you, in here we are constantly confronted by young people who cannot even get close to the sound of guitars that are present in YouTube demos. My guess is that what you are missing is the skill to figure out how to make it sound good. You need to tell us what it is that you want to achieve. Hope this helps/makes sense. Oi, Agora estou realmente confuso? Você é o mesmo cara que iniciou esse tópico? Veja o link acima. Depois de um ano, você descobre que não consegue criar um bom tom usando o Helix LT com o SD PS 170 e uma cabine 2x12. Você não nos conta em que cenário você usa, ou pretende usar, esse cenário - estúdio, live, quarto? Como afirmei no seu tópico anterior sobre comparação com vídeos do YouTube - “se você não estiver usando exatamente a mesma guitarra, cordas, técnica, sistema de reprodução, monitores e ambiente de audição, como você acha que soaria?” Assim como você, aqui somos constantemente confrontados por jovens que não conseguem nem chegar perto do som das guitarras que estão presentes nas demos do YouTube. Meu palpite é que o que está faltando é a habilidade de descobrir como fazer com que pareça bom. Você precisa nos dizer o que deseja alcançar. Espero que isso ajude/faça sentido.
