A highly under rated album.

Thank You.

So you're saying there's a chance?.......

I like. Thank You. I'm assuming you like Pink Floyd as much as I do.

I read through this fairly quickly so I don't know if these have been mentioned. Also, I have a full size Helix and not the stomp but i think these apply to the stomp as well. First check your output to see if it is line level or instrument level or mic level (not sure what's available on the stomp). Since the audio is low, switch it to line if it's not there already. Line is the hottest level with instrument level next and mic level being the lowest output. Also, try adjusting the input's impedance. I think it is normallly at auto so try different settings on that. Hope this helps

You can change the tuning reference frequency. The values you can change it to are from 425 to 455. See page 44 of the Helix manual. So what a girl needs to do is change it from 440 to 436.

I think you could still use your Helix to control Native. Unless it's totally screwed up inside aside from the screen. Although using USB seems to add a significant amount of noise for most people including me. Just a thought.

Speakers, speakers, speakers. I remember back it the "day", I learned the weakest most inefficient link in a sound system, whatever it is, is the speakers. It's fairly easy to amplify an audio source pretty accurrately UNTIL you get to the speaker(s). Actually making a speaker enclosure that will reproduce every frequency and harmonic with exactly the same waveform as every instruments recording had originally going into the system is a juggling act. Therefore they have the largest influence on how your system/amp will sound and it can be big. It kills me when people complain about not getting the amp in the room sound through an FRFR when the speaker(s) and enclosure can be so completely different from whatever you're trying to sound like. Aside from the "it's modeling a mic'd amp, not just an amp" aspect, the speakers are the big problem. A guitar cab will not sound the same as an FRFR that has one to two different speakers and different enclosure. Just putting different speakers in the same cab will very likely make it sound significantly different. And let's just throw in the Fletcher-Munson curve for more stuff to think about. "How come I can't get my Fender amp sim to sound as authentic through a Marshall 4x12 as my Marshall amp sim does through the same thing using my modeler?". Really? Sorry, just a little rant.

Take your dB measurement at the distance/place you/you're ears are at. You want your ears to experience the 80dB. It's at that point that the Fletcher-Munson curve essentially flattens out. Are you familiar with this Fletcher-Munson concept?

Just a quick little note, I use little to no reverb live unless the room is totally dead (I've played in a movie theater...dead) or for a particular effect.

So it sounds like you use a Helix as well. Perhaps he should use and do what you are doing. The main thing, as has been mentioned, is to create patches at 80dB. I don't know exactly what PA speakers are but if he's creating the patches in his bedroom with the same setup, I'm pretty sure the speakers will also respond differently when pushed from bedroom levels to band levels. He may want to consider trying another FRFR that may be work better to do this kind of thing. I think the 8008 was made for dedicated guitar preamps and an actual guitar cab, not to be used as a PA. Not that it can't. It's just not designed for that as I recall. As is the Marshall cab as well. Even with "PA speakers" it will still affect the sound since it's made for guitars and not for accurately reproducing sound. Is he using the virtual cabs with his Helix? Perhaps try turning them off. I have even just kind of whipped through cabs quickly as kind of an EQ buffet. Sometimes I get surprised at what comes out. Have you guys tried his Helix through whatever rig you play your Helix through?

I would start with making sure you're using the same pickups he is. He's using a strat with the bridge pickup and it's a small humbucker. Like this I believe https://www.amazon.com/Seymour-Duncan-SL591B-Little-Bridge/dp/B0002D0EBU/ref=asc_df_B0002D0EBU?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80745502739788&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584345029701887&th=1 Carlos generally used full size humbuckers and I'm pretty sure he used the neck position. But to get the sound in this video, the guitar and pickups he's using have a bit to do with the sound.

He's looking for something at the input of the Helix to help with his guitars with a strong output. That's for level of the output of the amp.

Do you have the Big Book Of Helix Tips? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AndertonHX-e--sweetwater-publishing-the-big-book-of-helix-tips-and-tricks?mrkgadid=1000000&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gdsa&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=accessories&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=39700064887253102&lid=39700064887253102&ds_s_kwgid=58700007229425432&device=c&network=g&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9033329&creative=532125732698&targetid=dsa-1366322260020&campaignid=6730319014&awsearchcpc=1&&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2ITMlPasgQMVJDLUAR1QyQbIEAAYASAAEgIyYfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds It has many wah references. I didn't read any of them but just search for the word wah in the document. It's a PDF file. If you don't have it, I would consider getting it.

I would say that's not going to happen. The only solutions (you've probably already considered these) are your own separate pedal tuner plugged in before the HX Stomp or one of those clip on your headstock tuners.

You'd have to use the normal outputs, the headphone outputs or add a send at the end of your path and use that output. Those are the only outputs I can see. In global settings there is a selection to determine what the volume knob controls. If you set it to phone, it only controls the headphone output. That then means, like the helix, the ouputs are at unity gain. See page 51 of the manual. I see no other options.

That has happened to me. It was a Variax and it just stopped working. Huh? Finally blew some compressed air into the VDI input and it leared it up. I am more careful about that.

That sounds like you want us to do your homework. (HAHA). For now, I just don't have the time currently, I would make a flow chart of your exact paths and everything in them, then adapt them as best you can to the Helix hierarchy. If I find time to contemplate this, could you provide a detailed description exactly what is going where?

Phew! Thank goodness it was simple. Hooray!

YIKES! I have not had those issues. It has been awhile since I've needed them and maybe at times it's a little slow but I have always at least gotten some kind of response. Sorry your experience wasn't as good. I'm not sure why you can't download updates.

Well whatever works for you. I like the way it sounds when I set the tone knob a certain way and can't get it any other way. If that works for you, that's fine. It does not work for me. Aside from the fact that this is a function stated in manuals and hasn't worked since the Helix has been out. I'm very happy with what I have and very satisfied with my Helix/JTV Variax. But this wouldn't be the first time Line 6 let something go without correcting it.

Sorry. I forgot. But you can still assign 8 parameters to one footswitch like I mentioned with the Snapshots. So, you can still assign the gain to do what you want to the footswitch you're using for the distortion on/off. See page 40 of the manual for more info.

I know the process to roll back the firmware is "tricky". I have not done it. One of my biggest complaints about the acoustics is that there is a bug in the Helix that, because of it, I cannot use the Helix to control the tone or volume parameters. Being able to use the tone knob would put the acoustics more to where I want them but you can't in the Helix.

Yes. you can assign the on/off to the same footswitch as the distortion whose output you want to control. You could also leave the gain block on and assign the output level of the gain block to a snapshot. I do this for several things. I can't remember the number but Snapshots are capable of doing several different things with one footswitch. I think it's like around 30. So you can do a lot with one snapshot. Let your freak flag fly.

Could you be trying to load the backup wrong? That's the only thing I can think of. There's a Restore From Backup selection that's in HX Edit. See page 26 in the HX Edit manual. This may seem a little obvious but I can't think of what else it would be.
