Kind of defeats the purpose of a modeller doesn’t it?

1) add a gain block at 0 db so it does nothing 2) Drag it down to split path 3) Huge volume boost If you check the merge block it has a 3db boost on top. 4) Set the boost to 0db 5) Set both sides of the merge to -3db Sound about equal. Cool, but what about the main volume. Maybe I can just knock that down 6db Nope, it's quieter! I guess there's two questions, a) why would it default to a +3db boost on top of the natural boost from doubling? b) What boost would be the same as -3 on both channels? It's a real little gotcha, easy to overload blocks after a split! S

All, I've corrected my wicked ways in the following thread I have deleted my first two posts and posted the simplified method I tripped over after much head scratching and three re-reads within the manual. Please refer to the thread I've linked in this response. Oops jpd

Wondo100, The Orange cab that theElevators uses would get you that "in the room feel" most guitarist look for, even if they come close without it. I am using something in the Electro-Voice ZLX-12P family right now for simple XLR mono out playback. jpd

Try using a different amp. Some amps have all these extra controls like "hum", ripple, as mentioned already. These can really get amplified if you have a weird signal chain. In my case I started running a compressor between the amp and the cab, which really improved the feel. But it introduced constant low-frequency hum, which I noticed one day. Well, in my snapshot for the dirty sound, I just dialed down that "hum" parameter to 0, and the issue was fixed. Some amps do weird stuff. Crackle and pop could be from static electricity. I've noticed the original Helix even having its capacitance triggered from static electricity, when it was on a rug. All sorts of menus would pop up constantly.

That's expected and normal, as it mirrors the physical behavior. Combine 2 signals and you get louder signal. I discovered this on the Helix when I added a delay in parallel by accident. Then when I removed it, the preset's level changed. I wound up keeping a delay in parallel as it's easier to manage in the end, and all of my presets have that delay, even if it's not used, for consistency in terms of the level.

In my experience nothing beats the sound and feel of a real guitar cab. So I have been happily using Mooer Baby Bomb with a 12" closed back cab by Orange. People scoff at it until they hear how it sounds. Toured with this great power amp all over Europe, Canada, Israel and the US. We ordered Fender Deluxe for our backline, and I used it as a glorified cabinet with the power amp for 2 weeks in Europe. Worked great.

because: 1. silent stage 2. recording straight into computer 3. snapshots. Go from dry clean sound to lead sound with delay, etc. 4. delay spillover 5. transposition 6. set it and forget it. get the same exact sound each time for my 100's of presets. 7. stereo sound, stereo delay after amp, which in real life would be a giant pain to recreate. But I don't need to reinvent my sound in every preset, because I already know what works for me.

I don’t think using the Helix Stadium vs. any other piece of audio equipments matters. You’ll get more info by asking this question in a forum with a wider (not just Line 6) audience. Not that you may not get helpful info here, just that you’re fishing in a relatively small pool for an ocean-wide question. Budget and required features matters a lot more than Helix Stadium.

Updating the firmware with the Line 6 Central application was an incredibly easy and smooth operation. The JTV59 was connected to a new RJ45/USB I-O (the small black one) which was connected to an M4 MBP via the USB-C connector. macOS15.5 The Line 6 Central application immediately recognized the connected unit. After signing in, it notified me that a fw update was available. No hiccups!

Placed orders for the JTV59 with the USB box and a XPS-AB Variax Cabled Power Direct Box Footswitch w/ Power Supply. Fingers crossed that everything will work, including connecting to Line 6 Central and Workbench HD.
