Will do. I'm currently on the road so might be a bit tricky to do right away. Although I did make a video where the whole unit froze up and had to be reset which was pretty cool. /s. And that was after the software crashed a few times on a Mac with updated OS :)

I've tried headphones straight into the helix and also the mono out into the apogee for additional testing. The sound is there for both.

Sounds good. I'll do my best to post something. I have tried a few les Paul's with paf low output pickups and some handwould tele pickups and an SG with p90s. But yeah. I've spent more time fiddling and typing posts than making music with this thing. I would say I'm an advanced musician and have years of experience in pro live sound and studio production environments. I tried the powered kemper which was great but overkill for me in a live environment which is what I'd like. To replace my amp, cab and pedals or at least replace my pedalboard.

Will do. Thanks. Again, it happens when I have a cleared default empty patch. Load up an amp. Turn up the gain and the noise is apparent with any gain that comes on. Tweaked all parameters to see if I could find a culprit. Nothing removed the sound. I guess i might setup a video with recording. But I'm quite busy, ya know - playing music. Lol. Not a smart arse comment, just truth:)

Yes. Amp plus cab. Does that make a difference ?

Thanks very much. It's literally default settings. Guitar only. Auto input impedance. Clean preset. Open amp, roll up gain - noise. I dont even have a patch saved. It happens on anything with gain. Would you like me to create a patch and send it? Should I just email you directly? Thanks again
-
Thanks. It's every single distortion box or any amp. Start with an amp and drive the gain - noise. Get a clean amp and use a pedal to drive the gain. Any low gain or stuff entering gain territory does this. Clean sounds are great. Anything, absolutely anything with gain has this "coating" of digital noise or artifacts. Same as my pod hd.

Yes. Nice headphones and studio monitors
-
Nice AT and Sony headphones. NHT m00studio monitors
-
Yes. The cab eq setting seem to be a common solution. Kind of silly that you'd have to do this in the first place. Why would line 6 pusposefully eq them the way they do by default? Wouldn't they catch this if it was not intended? But yeah. Cab eq did not help remedy the artifact noise
-
I'm running it into headphones (athm30 and sony hdr50) and monitors (nht m00) and Using apogee interface and converters. But I don't think it's an eq issue. It's covering the whole range and even experimenting with radical eq sweeps and gain levels, the sound is there. But yes. So far it lasnt left the studio and certainly doesn't feel worthy to take to the rehearsals at this point.
-
It seems to happen at all volumes. Unless it's so loud that I'm damaging my hearing, which in fact may help the helix sound better. But either way, shouldn't this cloud of noise NOT be there even At lower volumes?

Hey folks. So... I finally got the Helix. big screen, scribbles, I/O - y All, very very cool things. Touch knobs, super cool. Navigation, great. Tones. Sadly, as I hoped would not be the case... High Gain i suppose is fine as its covered in gobbles of gain. But - There is something going on with anything related to low and medium gain that I can hear so clearly. It's like all the gain sounds (amps and pedals) have this thing where it's just coated with digital white noise or "hair" on all the notes. Clean sounds are pretty good - but man, there is something going on that I thought was always digital noise just like the HD500 And SADLY, its the EXACT same thing I hear with my HD 500 and is basically unusable. I rarely right on many forums but I just had to share this and curious if anyone hears this because to me its so obvious. All amps and pedals when entering low to medium overdrive/gain sound like they have some type of digital noise that coats and covers all the sounds. Many other cool things about this but so far, I cant imagine it replacing my handwired amps and analog pedalboard. Would love to know your thoughts.
