One of the biggest limitations on the Helix platform today is the fixed 8‑snapshot cap. For simple presets it’s fine, but once you start building more complex setups with multiple gain stages, routing changes, and different FX combinations, eight snapshots just aren’t enough. Modern workflows would benefit from at least 16 snapshots, ideally more. Another ongoing issue is how stomps interact with snapshots, especially when using dual‑assigned footswitches. When you create a stomp that controls two blocks at once, using another dual‑assigned stomp often causes the first one to turn off effects you didn’t intend to change. This makes it difficult to build flexible, performance‑friendly presets where multiple dual‑assign stomps can be used independently. A future Helix update would really benefit from: More snapshots (minimum 16) Independent dual‑assign stomp behavior, so one stomp doesn’t override or disable FX controlled by another unless the user programs it that way (Headrush prime can do it very well) These two improvements alone would massively improve the workflow for players who rely on both snapshots and stomps in the same preset.

This is even while working in the editor it randomly drops then may or may not connect with prompts to do so? Super frustrating....

I would open a support ticket if you haven’t already done so. As you say, what you are experiencing doesn’t seem to be very commonly reported here. There are some known issues regarding certain home router/network configurations. Line 6 Support can help you identify any known conflicts. Also, I’m not a Mac user but I’ve seen reports about needing to ‘unmount’ previously used installers. Perhaps that means something to you.

The Editor app is going crazy on my computer & does not transfer tones! I wish someone will get the app updated.

So stuck on the Litigator and the Matchless. Sometimes the Fenders. Can't seem to be bothered with anything else. Simple needs. Which leads me to wonder why people want more and more amp models.
