  1. Thanks to all who replied. To datacommando - perhaps you didn't read my original post fully or perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. The reason I want to import Helix FX presets into my Helix LT is because I want to run my LT into my amp (Genz Benz 30 watt combo). Therefore I don't want or need the amp and cab blocks. When I turn off the amp and cab blocks in my own presets the guitar sounds like crap. So I wanted to try presets (both free and commercial) that were written solely for the FX so that the final sound relies only on the FX blocks and not affected by amp and cab blocks. But thank you for pointing me in the direction of the Helix Edit manual - I found the answer in the table on page 6 (HX presets can be imported into the LT via Helix edit with some caveats). I have had some experience with buying presets for my now sold Fractal AX8. Despite differences in what guitar was used etc etc I nevertheless found them very useful and formed the basis of some great presets with a little tweaking. So I imagine the same would apply with commercial presets available for the Helix. Once again thanks very much to all who responded - greatly appreciated
  2. Thanks MGW-Alberta - I appreciate your comments and your time making them. I'll try what you suggest! But I would still like to know whether it is ok to import HelixFX presets into the Helix LT. Thank you
  3. Tried to find any posts re this with no success. I have recently bought a Helix LT after selling my Fractal AX8. I have two hardware setups for live depending on the band/scenario. The first is my original AX8 setup where I go directly from the (now) Helix LT into a pair of Yamaha DX10s. The second is going from the LT directly into my Genz Benz Black Pearl. I am preferring to go into the Genz Benz for rehearsal and smaller gigs. When I disable the amp and cab blocks in order to go into the Genz the sound sounds like crap - I have to tweak the preset further in order to get the sound I want out of the Genz. I downloaded a pile of free Helix FX presets and I'm also looking at buying some commercial ones just to help me get my head around writing good presets (for either scenario). But I'm concerned that my LT my not like importing Helix FX presets into it. Is this OK to do? I'm also having trouble getting my guitars to interface properly with the LT - for example the signal is too hot for some of the compressors (reducing sensitivity or threshold even to zero still results in too much compression) or feeding the input into a distortion block is still too hot. I have read about the impedance setting and I am about to change mine from Auto to 1Meg to see if that helps. Also I'm going to turn the guitar pad ON as recommended by Alex Strabala to see if that improves things. Any help or comments will be greatly appreciated Thanks
  4. Currently I use a Fractal Audio AX8 live and use a third party program to create, organise and (live) switch presets. I am considering moving over to a Helix LT after a very positive experience wit a PODGO. I am aware that you can use the Line 6 Helix editor to do this but as far as I know this requires rearranging the set list for every show every time. I also read on the internet that there was a Mac program that does what I am after but I'm not a Apple user - just bog standard Windows 10 user. Is anyone aware of a program that will run on Win 10 that can achieve what I am used to doing with my Fractal? Thanks
  5. Considering upgrading mu POD GO to a Helix LT. I usually do a factory reset before selling my gear. Does anyone know if doing a Factory Reset on the POD GO will overwrite any IRs already installed? Also, and I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere - can PODGO presets be ported over to the Helix LT? Thanks
  6. I hope the developers include output metering in Pod Go Edit which would make the job of evening out output levels between patches etc much easier. Of course it would be nice to have output metering on the Pod Go itself but that may not be possible due to available resources..
