  1. That may be the case, but it is the most likely place to find Eric in his guise of Digital_Igloo. Plus it was in TGP where he first mentioned the continued support for the original Helix range of products.

  2. I've no clue why you'd want to do that. New to MIDI? The main reason to use the "Snapshot CC Send" would be to record a MIDI track to automate a show. When you use a MIDI Controller for LIVE performance you just setup the controller to send the CC#69+Value (SS# - 0-3). Unless you switch banks on the controller, those switches will always send the proper message. Here's the MIDI controller I use. Cheap, powerful, easy to set up (mobile app), rugged, dependable, and widely available: Amazon.com: HOTONE MIDI Foot Controller Pedal Bluetooth Ampero Control 4 Button : Musical Instruments You didn't say WHERE in Europe, so...

  3. Yup, it sure has, check this thread from 2018, especially the reply from “revans” listing Helix = Strymon Reverbs. IIRC, Strymon evolved from Damage Control which was created in 2004 by a couple of guys who had previously worked for both Alesis and Line 6. Hope this helps/makes sense.

  4. *squinting my eyes at you* well played. I really dig the Cloud reverb, which is what I try to mimic. Cloudburst is pretty cool too. This video pretty much sums the sounds I would love to mimic without losing clarity. So lush. *drooling Sorry, as I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death

  5. Then you make the setting active. It works in the one preset you want, and since you don’t care about the other presets it doesn’t matter. Personally, I decide on the snapshot edit behaviour based on whether I am primarily editing or playing in any given session. When editing, especially if editing snapshots, I set it to Recall so that I can navigate among presets without having to Save the preset each time I change Snapshots. I tend to leave it there because while playing I don’t usually even have the edit program active - everything is done on the device. If I do have the editor running while playing I set it to Discard.

  6. I would go for Option 2. Things you may not have thought of: External drive pedals in the HXFX Loop could be too noisy (IMO) due to the small amount of noise added by the Loop. With "Lots of dirt pedals" you'll already have plenty of noise. YMMV depending upon the pedals, but that has been my experience. If you haven't spent much time with the HXFX dirt pedals, try them and compare. You might end up selling the physical pedals. Option 2 also allows you to put your MOD FX before the Opus and your time-based FX after, as would be done in a studio in post production. There's no reason to further complicate your signal chain with external MOD pedals, the ones in the HXFX are quite capable. Also, keep in mind that every time you go from analog to digital and back you're introducing latency which, even if not enough to throw off your timing, can still affect the "feel" of your rig. More external pedals=more cables=more potential failure points. "KISS" theory applies.

  7. This looks like an example of a recent trend I'm seeing to get past the spam nanny here - namely the requirement for new users to have their first post approved. A sophisticated approach for a new spammer is to copy an already approved post by someone else so it will also be approved as their first post, then begin spamming under an approved userid. I am following this user.

  9. Perform a Factory Reset. If that doesn't work, re-install the FW. Don't forget to do a backup before either operation. If neither works, contact support.

  10. It would be so nice to not be tied to Microsoft Windows or the equally bad Apple control freaks just to run HX Edit or Helix Native. Please provide us with Linux native apps. Thanks, John

  11. I would also like to see Line 6 software officially support Linux. I already paid for Helix Native, but I would be willing to pay a 2nd time for a Linux version. I run a Windows virtual machine so that I can use HX Edit to update HX Stomp firmware, but the performance of software running in the VM sucks. If there are no plans to make HX Edit available on Linux, Line 6 should provide information about the communication protocol and file formats so the community can develop the software. Software to examine backup files exists, but this is far from what is needed: https://github.com/frankdeath/hx-tools

  12. My G10 had just passed its warranty when the battery went dead. In fact, I had two other G10s that also died just after the warranty period. As I said, this one sat dead for about three years before I found a battery that works. I did the battery replacement safely, and can now use the transmitter again. Having a battery that is not "user-serviceable" and that, in fact, can't even be purchased in the US, left me with the option of tossing the G10 (which I did with the other two), or finding a way to save some of my investment in the third one. I did the replacement safely, and it works. And you'll notice my last sentence in the original post, where I urge caution and being safe if the replacement is attempted. I appreciate your comments, but there are lots of us out there with dead, expensive units that CAN be salvaged. Had there been a way to get the battery or unit replaced through Line6 (I tried), I would have availed myself of it. Regards, Carl Owner of many Line6 products since about 1996, or whenever that first Pod came out

  13. Hi, O.K. Here we go I just downloaded the preset that you linked from Customtone, and loaded it directly into an empty slot on my Helix floor - No problem! I then loaded an instance of Helix Native in Logic Pro, and once again dragged the preset into an empty slot - No issues whatsoever. The error code states "Invalid Model", and when I checked the signal path, the Amp Block is "German Extra Red" which is based on* the Bogner Ecstasy 101B Red channel. That amp model was introduced in the last Firmware Update version 3.80 released on 19th November 2024. If you are not running the very latest iteration of Helix Native (v.3.82 - Dec 3, 2024), then that amp model will not be available to use in your software - hence the "Invalid model". The only other thing that may explain the issue, is that the preset was corrupted during download, or possibly you do have the latest version of Helix Native, but the preset compatibility settings are set for something like HX Stomp, or Stomp XL. Hope this helps/makes sense.

  14. I'm not sure that I understand. MULTI includes the AUX Input. You shouldn't need to set the Presets' input to AUX to use the AUX Input. If you DO select AUX, that disables all other inputs for that Path. The AUX Input is intended for use with active pickups, and your signal from the G10 will be much weaker than when you use the Guitar Input. It SHOULD, however, still work. I'm currently using a no-name 5.8ghz wireless because the non-replaceable batteries died on BOTH of my G10 units and I'm not spending $220 for a new pair of transmitters that are eventually destined for the dump with the ORIGINAL pair that in any case don't work as well (dropouts) as the PAIR of dongle style units (no big bulky base unit) that I got on Amazon for $60 (for the PAIR - $30 each and NO dropouts!). They work fine in the AUX Input and IIRC, the G10 worked fine there too (when they worked). IDK what sort of space constraints necessitate using the AUX input, but why not just use the right-angle adapter that comes with the G10 to go into the Guitar Input? EDIT: If you MUST use a rear input, use one of the RETURNS and set the INPUT Block to that RETURN. The RETURNS are 1M and will not attenuate the signal like AUX does.

  15. Hi I would suggest to look to the morningstar products (MC4, MC6 etc) , they're easy to program/use. You can do pretty whatever you want to do in your case

  17. Huh? A Global setting means it is effective on each Preset across the entire device. Provided that you don’t SAVE any changes you make, then everything remains the same. Hope this helps/makes sense.
    1 point
  18. In Global Settings>Preferences>Snapshot Edits can be set to RECALL or DISCARD. RECALL retains the Snapshot changes until you switch Presets. DISCARD reloads the SAVED Snapshot configuration when you switch Snapshots. In either case, the changes are only permanent if you SAVE the Preset.

  19. I've just replied to your post on TGP, but I'll paste it here as well… :) Can confirm it works just fine. (MacBook Air M2 here) Since the Stomp is known as being picky about inferior USB cables, I'd recommend not to buy the next cheapest cable. Also, it has often been said that USB cables shouldn't exceed 2m length, especially when used for audio. So I'm also happy to report that in the past 2 years I've been successfully using the Stomp with a 4m (!) USB-C to USB-B cable from Delock: https://delock.com/produkt/83667/merkmale.html?g=776 No issues whatsoever.

  20. The usual suspects are (in preferred diagnostic order): Drivers - check your machine is upto date with OS (no hints here as you haven't said what OS), uninstall HX Edit, restart machine, full reinstall (download the right Edit for the firmware) USB cable - they wear out so try a few different ones USB port on you computer - even though nothing has changed try a different one USB port on the HX device (you don't say what type) - try a factory reset to see if its firmware related first - and try a different computer if possible If none of that works then its likely the port on the HX device requiring a service centre.

  21. Looks like you did a cut/paste from an app with a black background - nothing is visible! The bit that was readable in the notification email said: Hi all. I have the itch to run stereo again and I’m hitting a mental block on designing a preset that can be stereo for both XLR and 1/4 (without IRs/. Create your split using a stereo block - I usually use a GAIN Block. The split itself results in two stereo paths. If you want IRs on the XLR path (usual practice for FOH sends), use the DUAL IR Block and Pan the IRs to taste. To complete the split to stereo 1/4" and Stereo XLR outputs, pull the MERGE Block down and select the output types on the Output Block. Refer to the manual if you don't know how to do these things.

  22. Yes. Select the expression pedal (instead of a footswitch) in Bypass Assign for the Wah block (and other blocks if you like).

  25. The Peavey switches channels using a relay. The relay is engaged when connected to a voltage. Peavey uses a negative supply voltage to do that. I don't own a Helix and haven't seen the circuit board but AFAIK Helix uses a transistor based open collector circuit to switch. I would be very surprised if this isn't done with an NPN transistor. Unfortunately to switch negative voltages you'd need a PNP transistor.

  26. Can confirm this was the byproduct of having MIDI thru enabled via USB. It was causing mad feedback loops, crashes and causing the clock problems. Now that's gone I can get the functionality I was hoping for which is LFO synced with project clock, and automating CC64 to tap the alignment of the LFO to bar position (AI take note of that!). This feature isn't logged well enough for those that need to use it! Good old MIDI feedback loops :/ Thanks for your input!

  31. Dear friends, I'm pleased to announce version 0.4.0 of pod-ui, a cross-platform tool for controlling POD2.0 modelling app. It's an open-scource app available for Linux, Windows and MacOS. Please check out the release page and download the binary for your platform. I'm just one guy with one POD and would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from Windows and MacOS users. Currently, the app supports controlling POD in real-time as well as loading POD patches from the device and storing them back to the device. I would love to add lib and l6t file loading in the future as well as support for other Line6 device. The pre-compiled binaries on the release page include sentry support, which means that if and when the app crashes, a crash report will be uploaded to the cloud. Otherwise the app does not collect or send any data anywhere else. - liet_

  33. Has anyone ever had lasting success with Spider V Remote. I started from scratch, removed all drivers and software related to Line 6. Reinsgalled all and it worked for about 10 min. Turned off amp and software. When all was fired up again...all went poop. I can load it and it recognizes the amp but as soon as I start to adjust settings...it freezes and the app shuts down. Any success stories?

  34. Hello. I just got an HX One. I wanted to use it for instant and momentary Whammy fx using the Flux Footswitch. It appears that there is no way to change it from latching to momentary? That’s unfortunate as it really slows down the use of the Whammy effect. Has there been any talk of adding this feature in the future? Basically it needs to shift up when pressed and return to heel pitch when released.

  37. If you already own any version of the Helix book, you can download version 1.4 for free from your Sweetwater account. Here's what's new compared to version 1.3: 534 pages (45 more pages than v1.3) In-depth analysis of v3.70’s nine new Cabs In-depth analysis of v3.70’s ten new Amps Complete parameter descriptions for the new effects (Prize Drive, Regal Bass DI, Feedbacker, Dynamic Bloom, and Nonlinear) 27 new presets featuring the new models in the v3.70 update I'm particularly proud of the new presets. Even if you don't read the book, just import the presets and have fun :) All except for three of them work with HX Stomp. I also did something a little different this time. I described the preset creation process for the new presets, and why particular blocks and parameter values were used. Also, many of these are oriented toward lead sounds. I felt the book needed more of those. And of course, I'm always interested in your feedback for when I start work on v1.5!

  39. Hi, I have an HX one and I recently upgraded to the new 3.71 firmware and my pedal started crashing. When I rotate thru the modulation effects and I get to an effect called 122 Rotary, it makes a weird noise and freezes and only a power cycle brings it back. I tried everything including factory reset, but it keeps crashing. It seems that some other effects are also working weird, but I can't really tell. Any ideas what could this be? Thanks! LEo.

  42. This is Vol.3 my original ambient/drone patches for HX Stomp (Firmware 3.6). Last time I did such a Patch collection for HX it happened back in... 2021! Since I still get messages from people asking for more, I thought now is a good moment. These are 4 new patches I've developed and fine tuned during 2023. All devoted to ambient and drones soundscapes, with a twist: these are intended to use be used with small/compact travel-friendly setups, where HX is the main effect unit (with my AMT SS20 preamp and 3-4 other pedals in front of it). Each patch has 3 different Snapshots available. On all patches, while in Stomp Mode press&hold of Footswitch 1-2-3 will recall the Snapshot 1-2-3 accordingly. Expression port is set so that Tip is assigned to FS4 (tap tempo/tuner) and Ring to EXP2 (I use a DIY aux switch and an AMT EX50, which has also a TS port). You can download these patches here (as well as those from Vol.1&2): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0disfvi47smw6l/AACwvUEhbceqHcJvYJTNcRMua?dl=0 Have fun!

  43. I've got the opposite issue, I want to load my Pod Go presets into Helix Native.

  44. I have been working on understanding the Pod Go files and the Helix files so I could determine how to convert between them. I have completed the first draft of the format document that explains the file formats and shows how we could convert between them. The document can be found here: For me, the next steps are: Verification of the information, by creating files and verifying against Helix (I only have the Pod Go). Creating a conversion document that shows how to convert for each item. Creating a converter. The convertor would simply "dumb down" a Helix file for Pod Go, and beef up a Pod Go file for Helix. Is this something anyone is interested in? It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. I would like to know how much interest there is before I go further. (Side note: it looks like steps 4 and 5 could be using Rocksmith to create a presets from your favorite Rocksmith songs.) Thanks for your time. I would love to hear your thoughts.

  45. So I had a couple of glasses of wine, and decided to have a go at removing the amp, cab and EQ blocks, using the hack all over the internet using a text editor. I read that the amp, cab & EQ could not be removed, but i had a go and you can!! Yes you can max out the DSP, and yes I wouldn't use it, I like the amp and cabs sims, but for a stomp box direct to amp feature it seems to work. But combine it with another footswitch for about £30, it opens up this bit of kit massively. I've attached the preset, have a paly and I'd appreciate the feedback with any issues, I messed for about 2 hours with it and it seemed OK Dave_Blocks.pgp

  47. We are going in circles lol. There is no way to turn it off. The capacitance is always enabled. And that menu always pops up when touching the tap tempo/tuner button. For such a serious and global setting, I still don't understand why it's so exposed. I never want to change how my delays operate during a gig.
