Problem solved...sort of. I discovered that even though I copied the IRs back over, the existing instances of HN couldn't find them and HN couldn't find the presets. I was able to recoved the App Data backup of the Helix Native settings and copy them to the new computer. Everything sounds great, but now all my presets have a yellow pick and I can't back anything up because I get "Failed to export bundle. Could not decrypt the asset. [code -1116]"

Hi all, I need to reinstall Windows so I updated from PT 2022 to 2025, and updated to the latest Helix Native 3.82 (I don't recall what the last version I had installed). When I play old PT sessions, some of the HN plugins I had on existing tracks fine, but others sound a lot quieter and less punchy (I'm not loading a preset, just playing the track with the previous saved settings). I made sure reinstall all the IRs, and I can see all the effects in the chain. One thing I did notice is the cab edit now has single, dual, single legacy, and duel legacy as well as a little icon--my previous version of HN did not have that. I would really be grateful for any suggestions to address this. I had some many instances of HN on this album that isn't practical to readjust each one; I could try installing an old version. Thanks Rob

Thanks @Schmalle. Using a TRS cable fixed the issue. For some reason, though, when I tried the pulling the TS plug out a little and adjusting the polarity, that didn't work. What happened was the volume pedal correctly adjusted parameters when they assigned, but when I used was in Pedal Edit mode, the pedal acted as if it were inverted. Either way, I'm going to pick up a short TRS cable now--much appreciated!

I'm using the HX Stomp XL + Dunlop Mini Pedal, and the stompbox parameter values immediately change when I use Pedal Edit mode and keep resetting when adjust them. I attached a video demonstrating the problem, and here are the steps to recreate it. Go to Stomp Footswitch Mode Go to Pedal Edit Mode Select a stompbox The first parameter on the edit screen immediately jumps to the highest possible value If I adjust the parameter manualy l (via footswitches or pedal), it immediately jumps to the highest value again. I have tried setting Global Settings -> EXP 1 to Global (and to Preset) and I have turned Snapshot Bypass On and Off. I've tried looking in the manual, adjusting settings, and looking in the forum without success. Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing? I'm attaching a video of the problem.

I appreciated the suggestions and help. Unfortunately I could never get it work properly. I decided to sell my Ernie ball and get a Dunlop mini volume pedal. It’s great because it’s half the size and is designed to operate both volume pedal and an expression pedal.

Did you ever fix this problem? I just go a HX stomp XL and am having the same problem with the 250k Ernie ball.

Thanks for the proof of concept!

Thanks that's helpful to know that is how the unit works.

I’m not sure since I actually don’t have a stomp yet. I’m trying to evaluate if it will work for my use case

Thanks everyone! I suspected it was that both were active at once. It seems like turning down the instrument volume is the easiest way to go on the fly, or I could configure input blocks (but I’m guessing that needs to be done ahead of time?). Last followup: I’m assuming that using L and R input, I would be able to combine both to a single mono (one amp) output, right?

I’ve looked at the forum and seen people using the stomp as AB switch but I couldn’t my exact setup. It’s pretty simple actually. Can I use the Hx stomp to replace my AB switch? I have two guitars with an AB switch to my single effects unit. Only one guitar plays at a time. I would want to be able to plug guitar A in the left input of the stomp and guitar b into the right input. Like an AB switch, the non playing other guitar would be muted but then I could load a patch, switch guitars and so on. Is this fairly straightforward?

Wow thank you everyone for your insights! It seems like the go and the stomp are a significant improvement over the XT. I have been reading about the stomp XL that was mentioned and that actually seems like something that would work. I like that it has the power of the stomp but the extra buttons which might make it easier for me to navigate without having to bend down.

This probably seems like a ridiculous question, but I’m hoping for some feedback about upgrading. I’m a moderate casual guitarist (a little self recording, playing with friends) and I play indie rock and jazz styles (ie I might use delay, tremolo, sometimes light overdrive plus amp sim and reverb). I have had a original pod and then podXT for I’m guessing 15 years now (no other pedals except a VP). I have appreciated it because 1) it’s is compact and lightweight and 2) I can fiddle with settings without bending down. I can’t say I’ve ever gotten “mind blowing” sounds from podxt but considering #1 and #2 above, the sounds are decent. I have been looking at upgrading to something like the podgo or hx stomp. Here are my questions: 1) Would I notice a significant difference between the quality of tones between my Podxt and either hx stomp or podgo? I’ve looked at the specs and I understand they are much improved units. My question is more “is it appreciably noticeable?” This would really be the only really be the only reason I’d upgrade. 2) I’ve read about the stomp vs podgo and some of the difference in available blocks. My takeaway is that the go has the expression pedal and the stomp is better for use with external pedals—is that fair assessment? I try to keep my setup small so I like the smaller stomp and am not sure how much I would use the EP. 3) last one: how do you all configure your patches? Are you hunched over tweaks things on the floor unit? Like I mentioned, I have liked having the podxt on my amp because bending down is difficult for me so I’ve hesitant to upgrade. I really appreciate your help!

Hi all, I run my electric guitar (passive pickups) into my PodXT, which is run directly into a combo amp. I'm looking to get a volume pedal, but I'm wondering if I can get a pedal for passive inputs / high-impedance (like the Dunlop DVP1) or if I need a pedal for active pickups / low-impedance (like Ernie Ball Jr 25k ) because the signal is coming out of the PodXT. I have been reading about impedance mismatch so I'm wondering if the PodXT output is high-impedance (like the original guitar signal) or low-impedance. Elec Gtr > PodXT > VP > Combo Amp Thanks!
