The first problem I see with this is that you're re-amping a track that was recorded off of your guitar amp's speaker. That's NOT actually a DI Track. You COULD use the HXS to add POST effects, such as would be done in a studio, but you're MUCH better off using some of the many plugins available to you either IN LOGIC or on the aftermarket. Your problem is that both your VOLT and HXS have very minimal I/O and you don't own HELIX NATIVE. If you bought your HXS NEW you might consider using your discount to buy NATIVE, which would allow you to do the re-amping completely within LOGIC and not have the hassle of re-amping through the HXS itself. But if you can't do that: I assume that you're using a MAC. Create an AGREGATE DEVICE: Create an Aggregate Device to combine multiple audio devices - Apple Support I am NOT a MAC person, but my understanding is that this will allow you to use all of the available I/O of both your VOLT and HXS at the same time. You should now be able to figure out the necessary routing to accomplish recording your mic'd amp (BLANK HXS preset with LEFT MAIN OUT>Volt Input 1) alongside a true DI track (HXS RIGHT MAIN OUT>Volt Input 2) and monitor the recorded project mix through the VOLT while re-amping the DI Track through the HXS. Hopefully, someone else who is actually a MAC person will chime in here to verify this method or have a better solution. Good Luck!

Hi, just a to inform all of the amazing job from Line 6 Support (Chris P) that solved the problem that i had with the leds without charging anything, since i had the board replaced before i guess. Really impressed! Thanks Line 6!

Why not use the stereo cab block with the two cabs panned hard left and right?

This is a user forum. Open a support ticket and ask customer support.

If all you're doing is playing through headphones then the only setting that matters is "Guitar In Pad". If the signal from your guitar is too hot, turn it ON. If you're using external FX in the Loops then you probably want the SEND/RETURN you're using set to INSTRUMENT for Stompboxes and LINE for Rack Gear if there's no -10db/+4db switch on the device. -10db= stompbox/INSTRUMENT.

Hi, Your Rack has the identical processing power as my Helix floor - plus lots of options for multi path signals. BTW it’s not just 2 signal paths, but actually 4 each with it’s own input, and each of those four paths are full stereo. How about this scenario - acoustic guitar and electric bass, along with a vocal on a mic input path, plus a synth/keyboard/drum machine on the return inputs. First time you need an extra signal path, you won’t regret having them there. Hope this helps/makes sense.

I've been working on a Linux editor for the Line 6 Catalyst amps and a setup tool for the FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller. Both apps feature a text-based, menu-driven interface that’s user-friendly and accessible from any device, whether connected locally or remotely. You can connect a Raspberry Pi or similar microcomputer to your rig and easily modify settings from anywhere over Wi-Fi or the internet. **Catalyst Editor**: The app currently supports MIDI CCs (in manual), and I'm looking for the official SysEx data for the Catalyst. If anyone has access to this data, please share it to save me from reverse engineering! **FCB1010 App**: I’ve also included Catalyst SysEx presets in the dumps folder, so you can make the FCB1010 work seamlessly with the Catalyst amp. Any app that can send SysEx data will work; you don't need mine. **Check them out:** Both have binaries built for x64 Linux included if you don't want to compile source code - **Catalyst Editor (Work in Progress)**: GitHub - catalyst-editor - **FCB1010 App** (with Catalyst SysEx presets): GitHub - fcbtool I'm considering after I'm finished developing a web-based GUI version in the future to ensure it’s accessible on any device with a browser. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome! --- Let me know if you need further changes!

You can go from input to path A to path B to output, which gives you double processing power, which means double as much FX blocks.

For vocals and guitar simultaneously, for one reason. There are many others.

Question 1 - When I bought my Cat I spent over a month comparing it side by side with a Katana Artist and my Helix with my PC212+. I knew that I liked it when I bought it and had already gone through the same process/experience as you. Still, I liked it even better after a while using it. That MAY be a result of speaker break-in, or it may just be a continuation of the learning process plus acclimatization of my ears to its sound. Psychoacoustics is a real thing. Question 2 - TBH, I bought the amp as an amplified speaker for my Helix that would be more portable than my PC212+ and could serve as a standalone backup to my Helix or simple grab'n'go for jams. Also, there's some days that the PC212+ just doesn't sound right. Psychoacoustics again. That said, over time I've come to appreciate that I can plug in, twist some knobs and find the exact sound that I didn't know I was looking for that day. Simple, old-school fun with amp and guitar, but 12 amps in one! My needs are pretty simple when it comes to effects, having grown up in the days of amps with built-in reverb tanks and tremolo (vibrato?) being all the effects we had. While I love being able to get wild and crazy with my Helix, sometimes simple is better. Play more, twiddle less. I don't play in a cover/tribute band. I've never been about trying to sound exactly like anyone other than myself. It's fun when I stumble upon the sound of some song that I really like, but I don't spend much time looking for it. In 5 minutes I'm bored and I've found some other sound I like and I'm off on that. Finally, there's an old saying - "Jack of all trades, master of none". If you want to sound like EVH you get a 5153, not a Fender Twin. Conversely, if you play surf music you don't get an Engl Fireball. The Catalyst is none of those, but it'll quickly get the essence of any genre, and that's all that matters to me. If I need more, I plug my Helix/HXS into the return. Tweaker Heaven!

Only reason I can see to use separate paths would be to use different FX on each path. I don't, so I always use Dual Cabs panned.

My new laptop just arrived yesterday! My son is getting it all setup for me. In time I will get around with trying to intall the new 2.5 updates. I'm always nervous about these updates. With all previous updates I have never had a problem. Everything went smooth as silk. So it's a bit unsettling when I read here about others having big problems when trying to install the lastest updates. Makes me ask "do I really want to chance this?"

Here’s my understanding: What you’ve described will ensure that the Helix processing does not make any tuning changes using that preset. As you mentioned the overall Variax setting should be per preset. That means the tuning you hear is the signal received at the Helix input. Since you’re using a Variax the selected model could already be in an alternate tuning defined in Workbench HD. Or the guitar itself may already be in an alternate tuning.

There're several possibilities, but I can't begin to guess the best one. Attach your preset and I'll have a listen to see which solution might work best for you.

You'll never get an answer. Line 6 doesn't give a damn about its users.

hello. i'm from Sri Lanka.i got a line 6 tone port ux1 audio interface.then i tried to connect to my MacBook Air (M1 chip).but their drivers are not supporting in to my laptop.so i just wanna help from you for the connect this one as soon as possible and please give me some guidence to make it worthy for me. thank you.

Maybe I can save someone from having to do a factory reset. I had this same problem today and figured out that the issue was that in Global Settings, I had to Return Type set to Aux instead of Return like it should have been. I forgot that Aux and Return share the same input and I had set it to Aux at some point to send external audio through. Changing Return Type to Return immediately fixed the problem.

Imagine the unimaginable - you have an amp and a pedalboard that you are TOTALLY happy with. You just wish that, in the middle of a song, maybe for a chorus, the amp gain could be up a little, a bit more middle, the reverb could be a little smaller, but slightly deeper, a bit more delay and more repeats, the tremolo ON, phaser OFF.....but there's no way you can make all those changes in the heartbeat between the verse and chorus.....YES THERE IS! It's called SNAPSHOTS!
