Wow man. You really got it all figured out. Are you proud of yourself? I wanted to confirm what I was hearing and if there was anyway to get rid of it you old fart. Now go back to figuring out the parts to sweet home Alabama or brown eyed girl.

No. Amps and pedals do not exhibiy this hash across the entire frequency spectrum. My amps do not make that noise. I was trying be polite and respond to everyone. Then people started doubting what i was saying and saying I was trolling. Yeah. The guitar center employees new exactly what I was talking about. I won't defend guitar center but these guys new exactly what I was talking about. Coincidence? I already explained why I'm not making a video. And I never said I was doing phenomenal stuff. And I'm not here to show off my credits or my musicianship. But I'm glad you felt like you had to be a d-ck. And hence why I started to get annoyed and calling people out. Anyways. I already sent it back. So yes. I've moved on. Please feel free to provide any other wanker comments. I will refrain my.opinion of you based on the way you replied.

Whatever dude. I described it the best I could. And making and posting a video takes some work which I'm just not willing to do. Maybe if I could just upload something directly I would but I'm pretty sure I have to link it to you tube or SoundCloud or something which means I have to create a new SoundCloud or YouTube cause I don't want some test thing on my music stuff. Whatever I shouldn't have to do that although I agree it would help. Plus. I pointed out the sound on that video. It's there. I'm happy for you that you can't hear it. Enjoy your pod
-
Thanks man. No, no phone. You get those sounds from the pod? I do experience that thru some apps but never heard it on a modeler.
-
Oh. And one more thing. This artifact noise, digital distortion, crap that I hear is not only with the amps. It's with the pedals too. Clean amp with low gain is fine but add a distortion or overdrive in front with a little gain and voila, same noise. It's not an "amp characteristic " like mentioned above. I don't know how this stupid thread got out of control but you guys have really turned me off to this site. Sad and disgusting. Other than my line 6 dl4, I will avoid this crap like the plague and Boehringer

I'm not sure sure what this means. What is it really about smart guy? I'm just sharing what he told me. As someone who worked at 3 major music stores for a total of 7 years, back when you had to know your stuff to work there, we got to try out tons of stuff. I know prosumer gear, immediately and I thought line 6 had fixed it. It's hard to believe this thing was developed from the ground up. And they fact that you guys get all butt hurt by someones honest feedback and experience is really really weird. Now I must go check out my jhs mini foot fuzz that just came in her mail. Pretty sure there are no "artifacts" with this guy

I doubt it buddy. And it does matter, I'd like to know who else uses it other than a dude from stryper? And you guys demeanor when I started giving opinions you were not in agreement sucks. Why do you get so bent out of shape about it? Laughable. And what makes you think you can dial it out. Or would you have to write a 100 page essay on how to do it.

That is so so so lame. I'm not a troll and it's slander and you could be under legal ramifications according to another user on here. Lol Do trolls spend this much time with these posts? I'm just leaving guitar center and when I was returning it the guy asked why I was returning it. I went thru this whole thing explaining the artifacts and he said "oh, you mean it sounds like a line 6?". Hilarious. I'm just being honest dude. I did come for help hoping there was a way to figure this out. Sadly, the case that comes with it was the thing I least wanted to give back. It was a pretty sweet case. I got it used from guitar center for 1200 bucks. Great deal. It doesn't matter. This is like an epiphone. It sounds fine, lots of people like them. But then pick up an American or a custom shop. Granted it's more expensive but again, once you get to a certain level of enlightenment you cant go back. And. You're super lame troll comment is super lame. And I tel you, we have the latest lamers, the best. -trumpy

Some people like bud light. Some people love dennys. Id like a beer that tastes good and includes flavor. Id like food that is not filled with salt and uses good ingredients for experiencing a satisfying meal. Otherwise I'll stay home. If theres only bud light, I probably just won't drink. People that like those things may get offended and call me a snob. That's fine. My taste buds are not the golden standard but I'm confident In what I like and in my tastes. Line 6 is still a bud light but they have a new line of margarita beers to compete with mikes hard lemonade. And please. Please share who's using them on your for amp modeling or to replace an amp. Id love go see it

Ok. Phew. That was intense fellas. My conclusion is that I'm still sane and my ears are fine. The artifacts are indeed there. If they are intentional, there should be a way to dial them out. Having an artifact like that across the entire spectrum in my opinion is not acceptable. Remember that 200 page write up about how to make the Pod Hd sound good. It was hilarious and I actually spent time reading that and tweaking etc. What a waste. I've never ever seen a product that you had to do so much tweaking that someone had to make such a complex site just to explain how to make it sound better. I've been told on this thread that there's a possibility I may get sued so I hope to not have offended the corporate gods or their minions who defend them. I offer my Pod xt as a sacrifice. Please, come take it. Overall; it's cool in many ways. The interface is great. The touch knobs are cool. The real names of gear is cool. The software editor is cool other than a few crashes and freezes. There's some cool new features. They took away the CD input which I thought sucked since I like to use the aux plus mic or guitar and then add a mixer or my iPhone for various reasons. So not saying all is bad. But you're right. Not for me.
-
Thanks very much for that. It's refreshing to know that others have dealt with it too. I did try the cabinet filters, which are a very nice addition, and the artifacts are still there. Sadly. It's like a thick white noise across the entire spectrum. I think the main issue is that; once you hear it, you can't not hear it. It's tainted and I'm about to drive 2:30 hours round trip to return it.
-
See. This is what I was looking for. The noise is indeed there. Why can't people just admit that instead of all this other noise. The sound is there. I can't stand it because I don't play power chords or some dropped tuning saturated tones. And now trying to justify the fizz, really? How about a knob to remove the fizz? I doubt its there intentionally to give it vibe. My guess is that the subtle differences and detail at that level is just not possible with the way things are being modeled. Again, helix does not have this. And yes. I get the amp in a room vs micd amp scenario as I mentioned. I'm not a noob. Honestly I just think the helix is for people who just want to have fun and play cover bands or whatever the case. This is completely fine. But I don't think any serious players will be using it on tour anytime soon but please, let me know who the actual players using this are.
-
Thanks for answering. Yes. It is the fizz. So.... Hold on - there is a "fizz" that's apparent? Because according to everything I've heard, it doesn't exist You may be right even though I play with amps tilted up at me as well as micd and j don't hear it. Or at least enough to notice. And yss, I get the amp in room vs micd up very well. Try a Kemper. That fizz is not there.
-
I think I mentioned multiple times that it's not obviously glaring. But to me, since I heard it in the hd500 as well, I noticed it immediately. I would expect that many folks would not hear it. As is obvious from this long list of folks ready to burn me at the stake.

You still got some fire in ya huh old man. You're even doing the little emoticons. I'm so proud of you. You're wit is overwhelmingly underwhelming. But thanks for trying

Ok. This is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm not really interested in legal conversation over this product.

At minute 1:44, that chord he hits, right before he mutes it you can hear what I'm talking about. As the note fades out there is this weird digital noise or artifact around those notes And like I said. It's fine for single notes and even big chords. And heavy sounds seem OK. But it's those three note chords and when they're ringing it you can really hear them. If course, in a mix you won't hear this but still makes it to where I don't want to use it One last thing. As someone who is plenty aware of sales and how to work a product during a presentation, he's obviously not going g to show you the weak areas. Hes a sick player and he's selling himself which he does very well. But I'm sure he's not there to show you anything that's going to hurt the product. I'm sure there's some great Boehringer demos out there and lots of people buy their stuff.

1. Because I shouldn't have to tweak so much to get basic descent sounds. Guitar into amp should sound good. 2. I've spent too much time on this already 3. I don't need to justify this to anyone, I can hear it. It doesn't happen with a Kemper. 4. The same thing happens on my pod HD. 5. I need to practice. I could do 10 but I'll just stop there. But I completely agree that some samples would help but mainly I don't like to spend too much time on computers

I've tweaked everything. That nasty sound is in everything as soon as you add any gain or distortion. All the clean stuff is fine but I dont think they quite have low to mid gain distortion or overdrive down yet. I guarantee if anyone was next to me and I pointed it out, you would hear it. I took it to a studio to show to some folks and it was pretty clear. It sounded fine for vocal and keyboard effects but so does my xt and HD - that have lost so much value they're not worth selling. Anyways. Helix is definitely going back. I hope this helps someone get a different perspective. And thanks to the forum

Trust me. I REALLY want to like this thing. Not having to bring an amp or pedalboard? Yes please. I have a ceriatone (Marshall 18 watt clone) with ppimv. Super sweet. Great sound plus low volume when necessary. A ceriatone Fender vibro champ clone/tweed 5 watts clean machine. With a 1x12 v30 and a 2x12 v30 and greenback stereo cab. I also have a modded vox ac15 with a celestion blue. Awesome. Plus a killer pedalboard. But, it's a lot to carry which is the biggest drawback. I don't need a ton of amps necessarily for live since I'm not in a cover band although a combo of any combination of those amps is super killer. Anyways. I really do want this thing to work. I promise
-
Thanks. Yep, I was just wondering if ANYONE else happened to hear it. But yes, I suppose I have a sharp and picky ear. I have experience micing amps in various environments and I've played with the Kemper. I was bummed by it due to the weak effects and a few minor quibbles. But the helix does look much much prettier :)
-
Thanks for laying down the law. So far yes, looks like what I've heard and seen so far it will be returned. It's been just a few days out of 45 days with it but I have extensive experience with line 6 and modelers and vsts and tube amps etc. if I can eliminate this issue I would love it. I find it funny that no one else can hear this. I've tried all the suggestions thus far since I read a bunch before I got it and since I've had it. Again, I'm traveling for some music dates and cannot record the issue. As soon as I can I will do so and update. I'm still curious if anyone else hears this. I can't be the only one. Otherwise yes, there's gotta be a way to fix it and I'm hopeful and thankful that there's a good community of folks. Thanks again
-
Yep. I sent my hd to line 6 and put it on the bench. They said it was fine. So apparently I'm attuned to this annoying sound which makes it unpleasant to use. It's there. The kemper does not have this at all. The fact that it's in the hd and the same noise in on the helix tells me that it's just part of the line 6 "flavor" which to me is not cool at all. Thanks for your thoughts
