I have the same issue and it’s extremely frustrating. I cannot run HX one librarian, Line 6, Central and when I run the Line 6 updater it is just a blank page with nothing shown. I am signed in and I have tried everything that Line 6 has offered and others have offered With no luck. I’m running Windows 11 and I have been over the owners manual more times than I can count. Is there a mode that you have to put the pedal in? If so, I cannot find that out. I have also watched a few of the YouTube videos on updating but if you can’t load the app, the videos are useless. I have tried different ways to remedy the problem and I have tried the same fixes over and over. One of the suggestions is to write click then go to properties then to compatibility and uncheck run this program as an administrator. The trouble is, it’s not checked in the first place. So I have tried to check it close it try the app but still the same horrible results. If only Line 6 would pay attention to this problem because I see others have the same issue. I have also tried to do the same in the root with no luck. Kind of makes me want to throw this thing out a window. Please help.

Got it after the 4th try ths morning!

I am using a Boss GT1000 Digitech Whammy DT and the newley acquired Line 6 POWERCAB Plus 112 ‘I am using the Whammy pedal for switching tunings up or down via midi and it works perfectly. Certain songs require different tuning so when I switch presets on my GT1000 it controls my Whammy pedal to change the tuning by using midi. Right now I have the midi cable connected to the MIDI OUT on the GT1000 and to the midi IN on the Whammy. The Whammy only has that midi connection and has no midi OUT. So I assume that i will have to have the midi OUT on the GT1000 to the Powercab midi IN on midi channel 2 then make sure I have the settings in the Cab to midi thru then Cab midi OUT back to midi IN of the Whammy that is set to midi channel 1. it doesn’t seem to work and I’m not sure about the midi implementation chart found in the powercab manual. Does anyone else control their Cab with midi? Is there a good tutorial video to explain how to switch presets on the Cab via midi? When changing presets, I want to have the cab change speakers or ir’s. On another issue, I have tried to load it’s from my desktop to the powercab with no success, but the same ir’s when I load them to the GT1000, my Helix Floor or my Helix Stomp, they load perfectly. Please help, Chris Note, I have loaded a pic of my GT1000 & Digitech Whammy before trying to use it with the Powercab.

I just received the POWERCAB Plus 112 today and I tried many times to upload the firmware to 2.00.1 with the same error. It is currently at 1.00.1. (I think I got that number right?) Anyway here is the warning I get. - See pic. I shut the Cab off and the Line 6 updater off and try it again, but it just keeps saying the same error message. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Chris

Thank you, I just saw your reply. I have not tried and update since I reverted back. I need to do another backup and then I will try it again... i gave up on waiting for a reply. Thanks for your kind advice. Peace, Chris

I turned on my HX stomp this morning And all my presets were wiped completely out. So I tried to use Line 6 updater to reinstall 2.81 and it still stayed the same. I also tried a couple times to reinstall my saved back up which and all my presets were wiped completely out. So I tried to use Line 6 updater to reinstall 2.81 and it still stayed the same. I also tried a couple times to reinstall my saved back up which it wouldn’t work and I got these warning pop-ups. So I reinstalled the 2.71 and reinstalled my back up and they came back but a lot of my settings weren’t saved prior to this so I lost everything that I have done since July. I’m pretty bummed about the newest update I had trouble the minute I downloaded it and I followed all the correct steps. I’m not sure I will update until I know all the bugs are out of it. This is the third time that it has crashed since the original install. It’s a shame too because I liked the updated effects and amps. The first pop-up said Failed to get impulse names. Timeout waiting for response from device The second pop-up said Failed to get preset names. Operation failed due to DSP overload [code -8611] The final pop-up said Error occurred during the restore. Operation failed due to DSP overload [code -8611] Do you want to retry?

Downloaded 2.80 this afternoon and spent about a hour with Revv Red... I’m in love! Right out of the gate it sounded fantastic, a few minor tweaks and it sounds punchy and tight! Very excited to add the salt and pepper on it and hear what that will sound like. I will dive in a bit more tomorrow....I’m looking forward to that. Thank you Line 6

I thought I was specific? LOL go figure. It’s what you answered I want to be able to bypass the effect or turn it back on when I want to. And like I stated above I figured midi was the only way I could do it. But I was hoping that was not the case. Thanks for your reply.

Hey good people, I have a couple different levels on my pedalboard and it is easier for me to control things from my lower tier. I have the HX effects that I would like to control any of the 9 blocks from the Signal chain to my NUX 2 switch, latching expression pedal.I am able to use it with my HX stomp. But the only thing I can get close to getting it to work with the HX effects is for amp channel switching. has anyone ever successfully used a non-midi external pedal to control an effect block from the HX effect? As a bypass setting... Chris

Hi, this is the middle sized Friedman board. It is very nice. Two levels and cable management is sweet. Also comes with the Wah ramp that you can move around if you desire. I bought four boards before this one was the perfect pedalboard for me. The Waggi Pedalboard was odd...I sent it back...But I still have the Accel Pedalboard (Pictured) that is pretty cool.

Hi all, My third guitar rig is very straight forward. i am using a Marshall DSL20HR head into a Marshall Studio Classic JCM800 1X12 Cab. the Head has two great channels with an Effects Loop. I am currently using only the HX Effects which is all I require at this time. Connections: I am using the 4 cable method with the expression 1 on the HX (using a TRS to TRS cable) out to the footswitch IN on the back of the head. Is there a way for me to have the two channels on the head, alternate every preset on the HX? I would like to eliminate the Marshall 2 button footswitch. (One Switch is for the channels and the other switch is for the on/off of the Effects Loop on the head). So I would like to have the Effects Loop on the head always engaged and program my HX to change to channel 1 to preset 1, channel 2 to preset 2, channel 1 to preset 3, channel 2 to preset 4 and so on alternating as I increase my preset number. I’m afraid this can’t be done due to the switchable Effects loop? Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

Thanks to you both...I had the .micro and it worked good. The Morningstar looks great but the only one that I found was from Singapore. Not sure how long that would take to get here? I have had some bad experiences buying from over seas...not that I won’t again, I’m just hesitant.after talking to a cool guy from Sweetwater I have decided to try the very plain Tech 21 Midi Mouse. He said it is a basic up/down control that goes from 1-128. Which is exactly what I’m looking for...Plus it has a smaller footprint than my MeloAudio, so I might have room for another pedal or a couple mini pedals....So I got that going for me....lol i do appreciate your replies though... have a great rest of the weekend, Chris

Thank you...I will check that out. Chris

Hello, I am hoping to get some insight on what people use to change presets on the HX Stomp and the HX Effects...I do not want to bend down every time that I want to change a preset. my current setup up is my midi pedal, MeloAudio Midi Commander out to my HX Stomp then out of the Stomp into my HX Effects. The Commander works perfectly although it only allows me to go through 33 presets of the Stomp. I need to access all 128 presets with a midi pedal. I am currently playing in two different bands and I create a single song to a preset. Hence, I want to have all 128 songs to the 128 presets. Every midi pedal that I have looked at is not clear on two things... 1) How many banks of presets I can go up and down. 2) Can I have the display coincide with my HX Stomp on which preset I am actually on. The MeloAudio is great in that regard. When I’m on preset say number one, the HX Stomp and the HX Effects Switch to number one also and I can clearly see all three pedals are showing that info. Too bad it only goes as high as 33 presets. i have looked at the Boss MS3 but I wonder if that is just overkill in the effects. I’m not sure if I would use much of the onboard effects on the Boss just to have the ability to switch through all 128 presets. I have also looked at the simple Tech21 Midi Mouse and Midi Mongoose But I think they only display up to 99 preset changes. if I had a simple Midi pedal that displayed bank up and down ranging from 0-127 or 1-128 that would be all I need. But you all know that trying to find a basic need on the internet can be the hardest thing to find... I have attached my current setup. Any thoughts are appreciated, Chris
