Interesting about the world clock. I supposed this would be an advantage if you had other rack effects or synching with other band member's equipment.

Did you try re-installing the drivers?

I'm not sure what the advantage of the rack version is... I suppose if you already have a rack of gear it keeps it more protected, hypothetically if you need to replace the floorboard portion it will be cheaper... but rack+floorboard is more expensive than the all-in-one unit, and then you still need to buy an expression pedal. Also it is nice to be able to see the whole signal chain on the floorboard when you are switching presets/snapshots, especially during a rehearsal when you are tweaking the tone. I recommend getting the floor unit, unless you have a very strong use case for rack mount.

Did you at least get the G10 back in working condition?

Those kinds of knobs are typically held on by friction. I'll bet it will reattach easily.

Stomp just came out so doubtful that a new version will come out for at least a few years I'd say. Also, ditto what @cruisinon2 said about the receiver built-in to helix.

Worst case scenario get a short male to female cable and tie the end to your strap. This is necessary in some guitars with active pickups, even if the transmitter fits.

Why would you do that when you could connect one of the guitars to aux in and give them each their own signal chain?

I am running my Helix into the PC212 via L6 Link. Is it possible to also accomplish stereo monitoring by utilizing both Input 1 and Input 2? Right now I can only get mono monitoring via "Input 2 Monitor Mode".

Did you try plugging the amp into your computer via USB with the transmitter docked? Line 6 updated might still be able to get to it that way. Although, I doubt it is firmware. If I recall correctly, the firmware for the transmitter hasn't changed in a few years, and I doubt that your transmitter shipped with old firmware.

Native will tell you both the input and output decibel levels via the vertical bars on the left and right sides. What is your peak dB readings of each? If your input is low, solution would be to increase gain on your DI. If your output is low, as sounddog said you can adjust volume in several places including most blocks or simply increasing gain on the output. P.S. If your output level is fine (I'm not an audio engineer, I just know its not supposed to be < 0, ex. around -6 to -12?), then its a setting in your DAW.

I was thinking about purchasing a FCB1010... if I install these files onto a board, what further setup is required? I'm running Native through Cubase 10... does the DAW make a difference?

It would be nice for the Helix to be able to model the speaker and send that to the powercab, then model the cabinet (speaker + microphone) and send that to FOH. This would allow for additional effects (i.e. post-cabinet EQ) to go to FOH... maybe in next version of Helix.

L6 Link cable is the same as an AES cable. An AES cable can be used as an XLR cable, but not vice versa because of how the electronics work. If you're looking to save money from L6's brand of AES cable, or want a different length than what they offer, just go with any brand of AES cable. I use Hosa AES cables and they work fine.

I'm using a few G10's on a stage on which the base stations / receivers are currently connected to a power source that shuts off when all the other AV is shut down. My solution is to purchase a battery bank and plug that into the stage, then the G10 base stations into that, so that the battery bank charges and passes power to the base stations when everything is turned on, and then when everything is shut off and the transmitters are placed back in the base stations, they will still charge via the battery bank. Trying to gauge what size battery bank I need, in mAh. Anyone know about how much power a single G10 transmitter stores, in mAh?

Not to invalidate your use case, but if you want headphones then why not plug them into your helix and have the helix model the cabinet? If you want to go back and forth between headphones and no headphones, then put the amp in FRFR mode... won't have exactly the same effect, but if you're spending time with headphones on anyway, maybe doesn't matter as much.

I bought mine on Sweetwater and I'm happy with it.

I am running Helix into 212 Plus. From Helix to PC212 in FRFR mode, or straight to FOH, I would usually have some effects after the speaker modeling such as EQ. Am I correct in understanding that with the PCX12 Plus this isn't possible? I.e. after the PC models the speaker, can it be sent back to helix for additional FX before coming back out the amp? Or am I misunderstanding something fundamental about the signal chain?

I assumed Unbalanced but the documentation doesn't specify. Wondering if its worth running an XLR-to-1/4-TRS cable from my wireless receiver to the Helix, or just use a normal 1/4 TS cable.

Does anyone know if it is possible to custom-order a left-handed Variax guitar?

I'm considering purchasing a Helix, but considering its been out for a few years, thinking maybe I should hold out for whenever the next version might be. Any idea on when that might be?
