Hi Folks,

Would like to get some votes for idea 5198.  If you agree w/ me please head on over to ideascale and upvote.

Here's the link: https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/HX-Edit-Desktop-App-Change-History-Buffer/994087-23508

Many apps (i.e. strymon nixie, affinity photo) have a clickable history buffer of changes made. It's in a history buffer that is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Countless times, we make changes and in the end, unsatisfied w/ the changes and want to go back to some point of our change. This feature allows the user to A/B sounds as they progress in building their presets.

Here's an example:

History Buffer Screen:

1. Add Amp Block

2. Increase Gain

3. Increase Presence

4. Add FX Block

Assuming the user wants to go back to change 3, he/she  can click on item 3 to undo items 4 and 3 

OR a another mode will just undo item 3

Here's another example:

They sent me a replacement G10 unit which has tiny blue dots.  Yesterday, this brand New replacement just died permanently and the flashing sequence is orange , red, red, red, red.

That's it. Will not hold charge, nothing.  I am reopening my ticket.  This is beyond annoying.

Can you guys recommend another brand if LIne 6 doesn't solve this?   I'm seeing a ton at Amazon, but I don't know if they're any good.  People tend to put 5 stars on the cheap brands.

Just upgraded today out of fear and I missed this thread.  No issues, prior to upgrading, in fact, was very satisfied with it.  Today it stopped at around 2 hours of playing.

friends of line 6 I am next to buy a unit the hx and I would like to know if the hx serves to control and change the presets of the pedals strymon time line, mobius and big sky through midi, I would also like to use a disaster area dpc 5 to include analog distortions and increase the loops of fx and that all this synchronized hx strymon and dpc 5, all with the method of 4 cables

Maybe you can try the following:

1) Try removing any other USB connections (webcam, etc).  If there is a USB hub, remove that as well, leaving only a connection to the Helix

2) Replace your USB cable (try one with a ferrite choke).  Are you using the supplied Helix cable?

2) Purchase an Add-on PCI usb card and test items 1 and 2 above. (mileage may vary)

The G10 has Line 6’s Cable Tone tech built in. It rolls off the high end similar to what you would get with a 10ft cable (Cable Tone affects the 1/4” out only, not the XLR out).

Thx Phil_M

I had the same experience as the OP and VDI sounded way too thin to my ears that I switched to 1/4" output a while back.  This was on an HD500x.  

I recently got a Helix and a G10.  I have yet to compare VDI vs. the 1/4 output with this new setup.  Now I'm wondering whether having the G10 w/ a short patch cable affects the tone in any manner as compared to the VDI , 1/4" cable (15ft length) connections.

Hello ,
acquirer recently a helix;
I find myself in front of 2 problems.
Before all things, I updated the beast with the latest firmware .2.54 MAJ was made progressively = received in 2.3, I made the updates by following the timeline and unwinding OK)
So
1 ° impossible to record snapshots with the icon "photograph" ..in "preference snap.edits in recall mode (grayed out device) and discard device red circled OK .... if I'm not mistaken .. so, when, after a snap setting, I want to record (discard mode) I put a finger in front of the icon and it should work ??? not for me ..
2 ° saw that I play with live 9 with: 4 back track Wave + a track virtual instru and helix by scene ...) and to have a certain homogeneity sound as well as for the FX of the latter (the whole comes out in usb on a QU16)
- I enter the live USB output 1/2, 3/4 or 5/6 (no HUB for the helix, buffer to 128 samples in live) and sporadically I have stalls styles "buffer" .. while i am on recent pro macbook.
-In addition, should you better mono or stereo pair of the live helix?
have you encountered similar problems?
Thank you in advance

Replied, check your inbox

I just checked with Glenn:

Thanks for your concern.  I'm checking with Glenn himself.

I caved in today for a Helix.  I've deauthorized my HD500x's HD Fully Loaded Bundle model packs:

HD Metal Pack

HD Vintage Pack

HD Bass pack

I'm also throwing in a Glenn DeLaune Vintage Pack Patches which requires the above pack to work.  It has 16 total patches.

I'm looking to sell it for $50.  Total value is $110.

PM if interested.  Many thanks!

Glad you figured it out.  Ditto as rd2rk no issues in win10.  I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10.  Although I made sure the 7 always had the latest patches.

Here's a windows 7 guide for troubleshooting usb issues after sleep - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/953367

I don't know if this out there but if not, I would like to contribute this to the forum.  I added a TRS jack and made a few minor modifications.  It's not  for simultaneous use.  I tested this before going to bed last night and I'm pretty happy with the results.  Let me know if there are any problems with the attached PDF.EX1 L6 to Strymon.pdf

Just take a couple of throw pillows and strap them on either side of your head. The effect is the same...;)

Glad you found a cheaper alternative shows us some pics! :-)

Long lasting (really long lasting), less string squeak (important with piezos)

 

I am using 11s after recommendations for improved acoustic model sounds with JTV but my fingers have got stronger and while I thought about it I doubt I can go back to 10s anymore.

less string squeak... - I'm curious whether anyone has tried flatwounds.  

I hear a phaser or univibe after the distortion and I believe I hear a little ring modulator in there.

Thanks brue58ski.  I've tried the Uni-vibe and it is pretty close!  Thank you for your time and I appreciate it!

Hi! I am hearing spots where the trumpet is actually doubling the melody (not solos) played on the guitar. I hear snatches of a slow setting on a Uni-vibe. Distortion-wise any cranked distortion (not just overdrive) should suffice. Abercrombie is a combo amp player! I have seen him use Twins, Music Man, etc.

With all this, keep in mind that amp-wise you may find a combination of amp and a different cab that may sound better to you. The core of his sound is what I mentioned above.

BTW, the last guitar solo sounds like some slow speed flanging and a very fast delay for a doubling effect. This plus the post above should get you in the neighborhood. Good luck!

Thank You Sidroe!    A friend of mine posted the same question for me on another forum and same answer: Uni-Vibe.   I tried it and I'm close but not quite.   The speed is set to 1.3hz and depth of 78%.   I'll change to a cranked distortion and try that (had it on an overdrive).  I'll also try the flanging and very fast delay.  This is super!  Thanks Much and I appreciate your time!

Thank You

I don't hear any synths in this particular track.  If you are referring to a guitar synth , this was 1974.  If you are referring to a keyboard synthesizer, I believe there's none on this track.

Hi Folks,

Does anybody have any clue / guess / knows what effects/ setup John Abercrombie were using in:

Total Eclipse - Billy Cobham - Solarization

Here's a clip - https://youtu.be/sbkv3ZGIIj0?t=73

Just curious... It's an album from 1974 and I haven't heard anything similar to this day.

Thank You

These parts can make a noise if you pick it with your pick. The G string on mine was pronounced when I picked it, and it sounded exactly like the sound that the G string was making when I picked the string normally. Putting a piece of masking tape around that part of the string made the noise go away.

Well, a lot of people probably will. Beyond that, though, it makes it super fast to assign effects to footswitches or to navigate to an effect in a preset. If you touch the switch, you'll go to the edit screen for that effect. If you keep your finger or toe on the switch for a few seconds, it asks if you want to assign the effect that's currently being edited to that switch. This makes it real fast to set up patches. This is probably the most intuitive and fastest UI I've seen on a multi-fx device.

Also, if you don't like the capacitive touch feature, it can be turned off.

Sounds great but I do hope the capacitive buttons are immune to noise especially on stage
