I'm glad you like this tone, sorry about the confusion, forgot that Helix custom tone doesn't allow comments. It's the first tone I was happy enough with to upload and share. I use it as a goto tone and adjust from there, I just bring up the tone and swap amps out until I get the right sound I'm looking for to fit in the mix. But i mostly stay with the Revv amp. I was mostly looking for a dual amp patch to round out the sound to give a little more spread and saturation.

Unfortunately Line 6 does not allow for comments on the Customtone Page. All we have to go on are the star ratings, which are not very helpful. I have D/L several 5star rated tones with Lots of downloads, and they were not good, and I have downloaded some with no stars and few downloads and got some good tones. Linking comments and reviews would be very helpful. The Helix is capable of some of the best tones available yet finding them is like pulling teeth, and most (not all) require use of 3rd party IR's. It would be nice to be able to find good tones easily with the addition of outside 3rd party IR's or plugins. Just to be accurate the Dual Marshall tone is best used on a Humbucking Bridge pickup. It might sound good on single coil or neck pickups, but I wouldn't know. I use an EVH Wolfgang Standard and a 2019 Charvel San Dimas. I only use the Neck pickup as a pinch harmonic locator, lol. I have added a couple of Presets that I have found to sound very good. They have not been tinkered with and are As-is from the customtone page. Petrucci Mark IV.hlx Van Halen One.hlx

Thanks try it asap - appreciate it

I had thought about starting a thread about this but never followed through. This is my favorite all time Custom Tone submission. User is named Speedloader250. Modern Plexi.hlx

Interesting issue, do you have any links to read? This sounds more like an EMC issue though and is different from the inherent ground loop problem. it is. It is nothing more than two isolation transformers in a box. Prices of these vary alot because the transformers used vary alot in quality and thus have different influence on the sound.

Take a look guys and girls???

There are numerous issues. First, there is a USB for 'future use', but no PC app interface as there is with their Pod series and most anything else. Second, while I have no issue with Apple products, believing that they are in fact great options, they are not the only options. I'm kinda tired of Line 6 doing everything Apple, and here with the AMPLIFi line, literally no other option. This product is useless unless you have an iPad on a stand next to you, and you must stay next to that stand. Even in a practive environment, I'm all over the place. That's why I bought their Line 6 wireless for my guitar rig, so I can jump around. Of course, you may are satisfied with using only four presets with very little control from the pedalboard...rediculous. I was looking for the perfect little brother for my main rig (G50 wireless -> Bad Horsie 2 wah -> Line 6 Pod HD500 -> BBE -> MosValve -> Genz Benz 2x12"). Could have considered this if we could use the Bluetooth/multi-functionality if I was able to Line 6 link my Pod to it, but nope. This is a great bedroom or apartment setup where the AMPLIFi is sitting on the floor with the guitar on a stand next to it, with the mandatory iPad on the bed of coffee table next to that. I guess that's its target and that's fine, but I wish they'd made a version that's a little less of a toy. If the 150 was available with a Pod HD Pro X built into it and cost $1000, I'd buy it and the shortboard. I could control it, set it up and really use it in a realistic, practice/jam session environment. Hell, done well enough you could probably use it for gigs, going out of it directly into the house sound. The few things that these do that are in fact very cool indeed just do not overcome the limitations that make it useless to a working/serious guitarist. P.S: The answers to all of the questions above and more should be available in the product information. We shouldn't have to learn it ourselves, and or learn it from other customers after the fact. The section on iOS for these units should specify clearly that the ONLY control access is via iOS device. That would have prevented me from wasting a bunch of time looking into it, and would have spared me having to write this.

Same thing happened to me- I just bought a 2.71 used and updated. All the names were gone. But one more hard reset (where you hold down the 2 buttons while turning it on) and they came back up. I believe that step was given in the how-to post that was a mile long!
