This must be the hardware that has been hinted at for a while.

DEFINITELY not!! I've contacted Sweetwater to see what's up, I should have an answer Wednesday. They're kind of new to publishing :), especially this software-based model. Hang in there, they'll make it right.

I'm quite tempted by the 60W 1x12 at $300. Quick plug and play without much fussing around. Nice usable tones. Plug into the DAW for recording. Footswitch + MIDI. Software editing. I want it. My birthday is 3/15 if anyone wants to get it for me. BTW, watch the Jonathan Cordy video that @datacommando posted at 17:30 for a hilarious discussion about Fletcher Munson.

Agree, should be a somewhat different target audience with perhaps some small measure of overlap. The continuing effort to offer a range of amplification options for pairing with a modeler.

Nice amp! This is however quite a different beast from the PowerCab so I hope it doesn't force the PC(+) further into the apparent abandonware category. Don't see any reason why the Catalyst and the PowerCab can't coexist in Line6's lineup. Maybe Line6 will allay our PC(+) concerns with an update. Don't want to rain on this new amp's parade, however. It is appealing. Not even sure that my biggest gripe with the Powercab, the fact that it has such a narrow optimal input level range, can even be remedied via firmware/software. Still love my PC+, just dislike dealing with the somewhat fiddly leveling efforts required from the device outputting signal to it. Often necessitating changing the gain structure in the preset. There are still a couple of outstanding bugs that need fixing from what I have read. An update to the manual would also be welcome, although @amsdenj and others have done a fine job of documenting what the various settings do and when they should be employed. IMHO the manual should be updated to be more informative. Anyway, I hope the PC continues to get a little love, at least for a bit longer. I really enjoy using mine.

That's what I thought.

Your topic is a veritable goldmine of freely donated presets. Thanks for all your work!

Did you update the firmware as well as HX Edit to 3.15? You didn't mention updating the firmware. They are two separate operations. Can you see the new amps/effects on your HX device? Doublecheck your firmware and editor versions in the 'About HX Edit' under 'File' in the HX Edit menu.

Select the last block in 1A. Assign it the effect that you want to be the LAST in 1B (not essential, just where that effect will be by default. Change it as necessary.). Pull it down to create a split. Change the Split to A/B (default is Y). Route the signal 100% to B. Pull down the Mixer Block to create a separate Out. Since no signal will be going to the Out on Path A, you now have a 16 Block serial path.

Oh blimey sorry mate, I did search honest

Riff da divano #62 - Steppenwolf - Born to be wild guitar cover - Free Helix preset - Line6 Ventoux Hi everybody, this is my Helix preset for “Born to be wild” by Steppenwolf- download it for free! Ciao a tutti, questa è il mio preset per il brano “Born to be wild” degli Steppenwolf - scaricatela gratis! https://youtu.be/JnbQxDVriR8

More experimentation is needed, and I only noticed it with the tube pre gain cranked. This is Helix...what is this "logic" you speak of? :-)

Problem is...how do we convince Line 6?? The posts on forums and FB pages and Ideascale are a drop in the ocean as compared to the numbers of Pod Go customers.

I call it hack, as it erases some script to make a piece of software to work as it's not intended to Yeah man, I voted your ideas, at least 3 I repeat myself, it's useless to be reluctant/stubborn when there is a workaround, which proves at least 2 things: it can be done and people wants it

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest amps ever made by Line6. Like all of the best amps they've ever made (including the latest, the POWERCAB line), they've totally abandoned the product. You can still get the manuals, including MIDI implementation here; Line 6 Manuals This should provide the info you need to take it beyond the L6 Link functionality. Use CommandCenter to send the MIDI messages as necessary. RTM. Come back if you have specific questions as to how to use MIDI and CommandCenter to do this.

Here is a document I wrote a couple of years ago that may be helpful. I wrote it for my son-in-law and tried to provide a comprehensive overview of setting up an HX FX device and a DT-25 combo amp to work together. I hope at least some of it will be helpful to you. The document refers to some other docs from the Line 6 site and also refers to other setup work I did on his computer. You won’t have access to that of course but I expect you may find it helpful in any case. Note that this document is not produced by Line 6 and represents my own unaffiliated work. Some content may be conceptually misleading and even inaccurate. Use at your own risk. HX:DT - ReadMe.docx

There won’t be M1 support for the Toneport devices, no.
