Hey just wanted to follow up! Unit is all repaired. Once I figured out the process for setting up a repair everything was a breeze. I was able to find a local repair shop, they handled all the paperwork with Line6. The encoder knob was replaced and we are good to go. All under warranty. This experience has added to my respect for what Line6 is doing.

Ooh good catch! I hadn't even thought about trying that with mine!

well that explains it!!!! wow, that did not occur to me. Thanks, now I know why the volume and wah pedals did not work... and I never really assigned them correctly manually.

It may not be perfect and it might be too bulky for a live application but it will work in the meantime. At least until they released the d10 expander: I ran my Variax guitar (via VDI cable) into my original helix and then I split the magnetic pickup and the piezo into two paths. I sent the magnetic pickup out of send 1 and the piezo pickup out of send 2. I then ran two ts cables from the sends into the two instrument inputs on the Stadium XL. I made a patch on the Stadium XL with two separate inputs: one with instrument input 1 and the other instrument input 2. After that you can do whatever. You got to still have to use the original Helix to control the Variax, unless you setup a midi cable and program it. Hope this helps. Thanks!

No, there’s not. You need to edit each preset.

I connected the send 1 from my Stadium to the input for a stage monitor I have on hand. I set the FX loop 1 output to instrument because line level was too loud. Then I set the output for the tuner to send 1. When I used the tuner there is no output to FOH and the monitor gave me my ""on stage" audio. Adjusting the level output on the monitor, I was able to have a very controlled output volume to listen to my tuning as well as if I wanted to "test" a part without going through the board. If you have something like a Behringer EUROLIVE B105D (or smaller) and a On-Stage SSAS7000B it could be a solution for about $150.00 without having to bend over. Just a thought. jpd
