Hi, is possile that line 6 launches an App to manage Helix Edit on iPad? i dont own a computer, and to install News presets i have to go to my neighbour s appartment, thanks

I'd also try what Schmalle said. In addition, you could try to tackle the problem by setting up the Stomp in 4 cable method, with your Super Sonic's preamp sitting in the loop (note: when you do this for the first time, you need to check out which loop levels are appropriate, they can be switched between instrument and line level, in addition, the loop blocks have their own leveling options for further finetununing). Within that scenario, you could now comfortably switch between the internal amps/preamps and the Super Sonic's preamp. You could even place a looper block as the first thing in your signal chain, record something and have your hands free for all editing purposes while the looper is playing.

First of all: Hi, welcome and thank you for putting some thought into structuring your post. You could approach your plan differently by tackling another potential obstacle first - plug into the input of the amp and try replacing the OCD (Compulsive Drive) and Super OD (Stupor Drive). Does that work for you?

That sounds more to me like a compressor or limiter that may be in the signal chain. I often do that intentionally so that I get a fuller and more aggressive sound with a hard strum without increasing the volume very much. On some amp models you'll get that same effect when you dial up the amp gain or the master volume (those that don't default to 10). it's possible that you could get the initial drop in volume with a high master volume as the additional amp driven distortion effectively lowers the overall output volume due to the flattening of the peaks off of the signal which your ear perceives as less volume.

Perhaps the noise gate settings on the Input block? If not the noise gate perhaps another FX block? Try bypassing any suspected FX individually until you find the culprit.

I had a similar bug where only one channel (left or right) was activated at a time... for example when i connect a jack to left channel only left channel is working, even if the right output is connected too... What I did is toggle the little black switch saying 1/4 out to "amp" level and then switched back to "line" level and now everything seems ok...

Why not just produce a manual or tutorial for the app explaining its functionality, features and the parameters? I just got a Spider V 20 and the Spider Remote app and I'm spending more time trying to figure out its features than I am playing.

Pretty much every room I ever played in had a P.A. that had been analyzed and eq'ed. Including the rooms where I bring in my own personal P.A. (I have a DBX PA Drive Rack in my rack and a reference mic...so I white noise every room I play in and EQ the room...as do most pro's) And yeah, there's always a lot of power going to the subs of a good P.A. But none of that really matters if you simply use the low cut on the cab model OR if the sound guy knows what he's doing and engages the low cut button on your channel. My point was that if you use your global EQ to tweak your Helix to make whatever rig your using flat...then you are going to be sending a signal out ot the P.A. that is not gonna be what you might want it to be. Even if a PA is set up to be bass heavy or mid-heavy....you would still be sending out an altered signal that isn't gonna sound too good in the P.A. Under most circumstances it might not be that big of a difference and the soundman may simply have to play with eq controls on the mixer channel that your guitar is assigned to. I was kinda thinking of people who end up doing radical global eq to get their onstage monitor sounding right and end up with a bad "real" sound going to the PA. So far...I've never had to touch the global EQ. And every room, and every engineer I've worked with here in Vegas has been blown away by the Helix. :) I've also used it here in my home studio. And again...never touched the global EQ. I look at it like this...none of my "real" amp rigs over the last 38 years ever had "global eq"...heh-heh, so why start now? You shouldn't really need it. But that's just my opinion and experience. I suppose your mileage may vary.

Don't think so. You want your rig and FOH to have the same EQ, so what you hear is the same as what goes out front. Which is hard, since you have no idea how the FOH system is EQ'd. Chances are it's not flat though, since that's not generally what people like, and I say that from from decades of running live sound professionally. Typically PAs have that sexy exaggerated low end and hyped pseudo-detailed high end, like your car stereo probably has. A quality PA should have any narrow anomalies ironed out, so it's flat in that sense, but the overall curve is probably something like that, but unknowable to you. Which says a couple things to me... - EQ-ing out any narrow peaks and valleys IS worthwhile - EQ your rig and presets to they make you happy onstage, don't worry about the rest, and let the house sound person do what they do

This is a good method but I think you may be Blanketing the sound. I've been taking "sound imprints" for my upcoming Artists Patches Volume II and I notice all of my sound imprints are boosting the high end range. Our ears tell us there is too much "fizz" but when you isolate a guitar track from a famous recording the high end is so much greater than what our ears perceive to be what we think is normal in a mix of a full band. I think you have to create your patches within a real world mix of a full band. You'll find you need to boost the high end mid range to get through the mix. Don't cut that High end too much!!
