@dphoba2 Nothing to worry about! So long as you're not holding your new Helix while undergoing an MRI, or otherwise expose it to a Nuclear Electro Magnetic Pulse (aka an EMP) it will be fine. Far more damage can result from ordinary household events such as a s spilled Cola or Beer spill, etc. I do not work for nor represent Line6. Also, if you have not seen it, find the Line6 torture test video they posted on YouTube years ago when they were dropping and kicking the Helix Foor unit. It very clearly demonstrates how rugged the Helix Floor is. The video may also still be available on Line6's website. It's comforting to watch what they put the unit through and it still works great. After posting the message above, the following arrived amongst my emails this morning, and I thought you may find it of interest: Space.com is reporting heightened Solar Flare activities of high energy Class X intensity are disrupting Radio Transmissions, with more to come. "A powerful solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America on Aug. 7 and prompted space weather forecasters to issue warnings because of energetic particles hitting Earth. It was the second X-flare in less than three days — and we should brace for more such activity."

@MusicLaw & @brue58ski Thanks for your replies. That helps put my mind at ease. Dino

I always make my own presets from scratch so yes I delete the stock presets to make space for mine. I use the first positions for a set list (one or more preset per tune, each tune as one or more snapshots) and use the last positions to store my presets. I like to build presets for each of my guitars as a starting point.

There are many amps with digital electronics in the knob section that sits right on top of the amp. I would say with great confidence that you can do that. And if it was an issue I would hope that Line 6 would mention it since speakers are a neccesary part of the Helix.

That's what duct tape was invented for :-)
