Funny story. Turns out not to be a bug. I submitted this issue as a support ticket and in response Pete in Line6 customer support pointed out that the problem is that global setting MENU > Global Settings > Switches > "Stomp Select" was set to "both". What that means is that when I pressed the FS, it went into setting mode, and the scribble strip reflected that. Changing the global setting to "touch" solved the problem. Now, to make a change in the FS setting I'd need to touch, rather than press that (or any other) FS, but that's fine with me. Thanks, Line6 support (and Pete) for a prompt, helpful response!

In Global Settings>Ins/Outs, the SEND that you're using should probably be set to INSTRUMENT. Now you know why it's 50/50 whether to use distortions in FX loops. They're designed to be connected between a guitar and an amp input. Other stuff (even other physical FX) tends to change the formula in unpredictable ways.

Thank you so much @loonsailor for taking the time and finding out what was going on. At first it didn't work, but after a factory reset, it now works perfectly. Thanks again.

What I'm saying is that he misunderstands the function of "spillover". It's not about maintaining "trails" between presets, it just eliminates the audible gap. What @datacommandois saying is that if he wants trails, instead of sacrificing the second processor, use that and snapshots with additional FX blocks to accomplish his goal.

Hi, Yep - You seem to have misunderstood how “true spillover” is implemented. In order to take advantage of it, you have to sacrifice one entire DSP, which means you loose all of Path 2. I would suggest you check out page 21 of the Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual. https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3f041b611d61cac763b/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Most folks use Snapshots to achieve similar results without the potential loss of 16 blocks in the second path. Hope this helps/makes sense. Happy trails.

Hi, sorry I think you've misunderstood me. I'm using an external pedal for volume and the on board pedal for Wah; however I have found the fix! It seems the volume pedal (even when an external pedal is connected) has a toe switch setting. The Wah pedal (which shows up as a different pedal on the Pod Go) also has a toe switch to activate it. The answer was to disable the toe switch for the volume pedal.

I've made IR's of may Fav Helix combinations, then xferred to Pod Go...works great.

This is getting worse and worse. My Helix is basically unusable at this point. I need a fix for this. * Rebooting (unplugging and replugging the cat 5 cable) used to work for ~15 minutes at a time, now only works for 10 seconds or so before the wandering starts again. * I have already tried multiple expression pedals, the problem is with the Helix. * The wandering has gotten much worse, going from 0% up to 25% on toe up, 100% to 80% on toe down. This is clearly unusable for a volume pedal. Is it possible a different cat 5 cable would solve this?

Thanks, rd2rk. When I first import and load the preset, FS1 has the label Dirt. But, when I press it the strip switches to "snapshot". Repeated presses toggle between the two snapshots, but the scribble strip always just says Snapshot. However, the FS LED does change color. I set different colors on my own preset's snapshots, and it also changes color. Seems like a bug. I've had my unit since they first came out, but this is the first time I've needed snapshots, so I don't know if it worked properly on a previous version.

The same thing happens for me (HXFX, 3.71). I have two snapshots created and named. When I enter snapshot mode (bank up+down) they both names show properly. I set up foot switch one using command center like so: snapshot 1 - press/release press = snapshot 2, release = snapshot 2 snapshot 2 - press/release press = snapshot 1, release = snapshot 1 When I press FS 1, it does indeed toggle between the 2 snapshots as intended, but the scribble switch always just says "snapshot". Another weirdness is that it seems to be necessary to make both press and release go to the desired snapshot. I originally set release = none, assuming that meant nothing would happen on release. But instead, when release = none it takes two presses of the FS. First press does nothing, second press toggles as intended. I don't understand that at all. Maybe it's worth mentioning that I set everything up using HX Edit, not on the unit itself. That includes both the command center stuff and the snapshot names. The snapshot names do show correctly on the scribble strips when in preset select mode.

Well, that is quite disappointing and quite frankly a bit misleading. its not “preset spillover”… its “gapless switching”. i was hoping it could do what the h90 does. THAT is true preset spillover. I wanted to go with a preset based flow so I load up 20 or so presets that I could call up at any point in a song. This thing is going back unfortunately.

This is happening automatically once you activate spillover, so he doesn't have to actively sacrifice that very DSP. And as he seems to have activated spillover, I don't see how he could misunderstand anything.
