There's also the simple logic: Put a higher end sound product through one of the very cheapest speakers you can buy and the former is not the weak link in the chain.

Pretty sure it IS class-compliant.

Here's why that should not happen. You are talking about 3 different pieces of gear built into one. Chances are, if you did that, the people who are the target market for it (very few) are going to buy their favorite of each of those solutions anyway.

similar experience. I run my acoustics through either Guitar in or Return 1. My Ibanez fretless bass, tho, sounds fantastic through the Aux, so it's a case-by-case basis, I guess.

The aux jack is specifically for instruments with a built-in preamp, or instruments that plug into a preamp, then into helix. plain and simple. Some of those do NOT work well with the Guitar in, so I'm glad they put it there.

The aux input is going to work badly for this. Every time. Gain block or no.

Page 3 of Global Settings:Ins/Outs has some control. Set the volume knob to only control the output you are not wanting affected. You can do the same with the Headphones Monitor to an extent.

Output. The Output on MANY Volume Pedals works as an EXP with Helix. Oh, and they haven't made a big deal out of it, but compatibility with different old legacy pedals IMPROVED noticeably with 2.7.1.

You can't currently do exponential, but you can do either linear or logarithmic on the Volume pedal. You can do this. Hold down "MODE" and select the FX block you want to edit. now you can edit with your feet.

pretty sure that part of it is impossible. Only two EXP/FS connections possible. If you need more, look into MIDI stuff like Morningstar.

With Stomp, I'd seriously consider finding a built-in cab that works for you (adjusting lo hi cuts, mic distance (THE secret sauce), early reflections, and mic type) to save blocks. But yes, the FX Send/Return takes a block.

a sample of my multi-voice stuff for Helix, coming REALLY soon to Marketplace.

It's hard to clip the input. It's very possible to clip internally. But, that said, I like the Pad ON on Helix all the time.

I process two-voice guitar with Stomp. Acoustic and Electric at the same time from the same instrument. The same principle would work. However, with only 6 blocks, you will end up being really limited. One or both of the players might end up really frustrated. If it's simple acoustic guitar on one side and bass on the other? I think it could work okay.

Thanks! I didn't get the sarcasm, I do now... there needs to be a sarcasm font... My presets for Acoustic (and multi-voice) for Helix and Stomp are all ready to go, uploaded, waiting for Line 6 to push the button for final release! hopefully in the next day or 2.

Well, all we need is air, food, water, shelter, right...? Sorry, that statement is simply not true. For much of what I do, 6 blocks is not enough, period. (I process 2 and sometimes 3 different sounds simultaneously, from 2 sources, on one instrument.)

It borders on a stupid argument. NO serious pro studio would use this as their only interface, and no one would expect them to. And no project or home studio where you only record one or maybe two sources at once would be ill-served by it either. And any time you need to record with more than one mic at a time it's the wrong choice. So... depends on your definition of "serious"... I will say this, every source I've recorded with it sounds great.

When I had another interface (I now only use Helix, or HX Stomp, for my own recording), I found it too frustrating to get the level perfect for re-amping and having the amp model sound right, whether it be Native or going through Helix. If I used the guitar input on Helix and used Helix as my USB interface and didn't mess with the level of the dry USB7 track, it was perfect, so I got rid of the other interface. I didn't need it.

For a project or home studio where one guy is recording one instrument at a time, it's a serious solution. For any studio recording 2 or more instruments simultaneously, it's not the best solution. It's really that simple: depends on usage, as is usually the case with these discussions. And any time you need more than one mic, obviously, it's a no go.

Source on this? Honestly, I'm pretty sure that the modeling has not changed except in a few cases where they've said they made changes, particularly the HX Reverbs which were re-formulated after initial release.

This is not a bug. It means you are slaved to external sync and have received such from a DAW or something. Global Settings:MIDI/Tempo:Receive MIDI Clock is probably ON.

I have 4 different brands and styles of EXP here, not one of them is specific to Helix, and 2 or 3 need to be used with some kind of (easily made) custom cable because they have a TRS connection (there is nothing Line 6 can do about such pedals). I've been able to pretty easily make them all work. imho, they have done everything they can with regard to this, and for the record, the most recent bug fix actually made two of these EXP pedals work that didn't used to, so they are, indeed, doing something behind the scenes in this regard. That said, some will simply not be compatible. There is really no way to mitigate that.

1. VDI input would raise the cost (and size) of stomp so much that... (wait for it...) it'd be darn near as much as an LT. If you need VDI, I don't think it's making its way to something that small anytime soon. 2. I LOVE that idea. put it on idea scale! and no, no Undo, as Edit is just a remote control for the unit. Save often.

When I first got Stomp, I thought it would be way less useful to me as it has turned out to be. I play at my church, and now it's the only thing I ever bring.

Sorry, there isn't something hidden in there that you don't know about. If you split the path, you can use panning to help you out here, but you might be best off just unplugging from one guitar and into another.
