Thankyou for your reply. Yes that's what I thought. On closer inspection of the videos that I thought showed the other buttons lit was due to the lighting used to shot the video.

Would someone please be able to tell me if there is backlighting on all front panel buttons (not footswitches) on the Stadium. There are 13 buttons on the front panel but only 5 appear to be back lit. However on several YouTube videos relating to the Stadium/XL all the buttons appear to be backlit. In a low light environment it is quite difficult to see the buttons that are not backlit. Thank you for any clarification. Best regards. PS. I reposted this topic because I somehow managed to mix an earlier post in the first time. :(

Hi All, I've only had my StadiumXL for 2 days and been trying to learn everything I can by reading the on-line manual as well as watching lots of YouTube sessions. All the information gained is great but everyone seems to not mention one of the most important settings and that is the output volume levels of the various outputs. I'm using the XLR outputs from the Helix to two FRFR powered speakers and my first attempt to play the first preset resulted in me almost blowing my speakers. Luckily I was quick enough to slam the volume pedal down. Now I was using all default settings and I made a wrong assumption that the unit would be basically be set to play. The manual stated that the XLR outputs should be set to Line if connecting to FRFR boxes but I read somewhere else that XLR outputs should be set to Mic, Setting the XLR outputs to Mic resulted in correct volume range. So not sure which is the correct setting for these but at least I can play without going deaf. Now the other issue with excessively loud volume is when a Clip is played. Again the volume of Clips seem to be extremely loud and I cannot find a way to adjust the volume of Clips independantly so that all the other volumes are not affected. Can any tell me if this is possible? I know it's early days and I have lots to learn but I'm finding some of these "simple" things are taking a lot of time to resolve and no one seems to cover this topic as if it's oh so obvious that it isn't worth covering. Any advice on the topic of controlling volumes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and best regards.

Hi and thank you for your reply. Yes the FRFR speakers do have a volume control but it was set to the same level as I have been using for a few years with my Helix LT connected via its XLR outputs and output volume was never an issue so I didn't expect it. The other question was relating to the Clip volume which I found to be very loud even when everything was set to a resonable level. Is there any way to directly control Clip volume? Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Line6 fan and love the new Helix Stadium XL but I really would like to have an answer to the Clip volume question. Even a pointer to the relevant section in the manual. Thank you for any advice. It is much appreciated.

HxEdit for iPad would be a great upgrade for the Helix as it would affectively give the Helix a touch interface. Many (YouTube) have suggested that not having a tough interface dates the Helix compared to other top modelers. Well to my mind, an iPad running HxEdit would be the perfect touch interface. Line6, please consider this. It may soon become necessary regardless as I believe that Apple will unify operating systems for Mac and iPad now that both use the same Apple processors.

I would think that the aim would be to use HXEdit via WIFI not Bluetooth for editing/creating presets and so there wouldn't be any latency issues. It shouldn't be too difficult for Line6 to mod the firmware to connect to a suitable USB wifi dongle and HxEdit driver to connect to Helix via wifi. If using Helix as an audio interface then hard wired is the only sensible way. I don't know of any quality audio interfaces that use wifi/bluetooth to send audio to a DAW.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I do know how to change the footswitch LED colour but it appears that only the LED colours can be changes where I wanted to change the screen Snapshot background rectangle/text colours. Just like the Stomp mode screen reflects the block/switch colour. Cheers, Luke

Hi All, I have a Helix LT and I was wondering if it is possible to assign colours to Snapshots to follow the footswitch LED colours? Thanks.

Hi, I had this issue when I tried to update when I first got my Helix LT. I was using a Windows 10 PC and HX Edit and it was unable to see my Helix. Anyway to cut a long story short I ended up downloading the Line6 Updater and that was able to get things going again. I now use a MacBook Pro and HX Edit to update and it has worked perfectly the last two updates. HX Edit must be the same version as the new firmware (3.15) Hope this helps.

I have two Headrush FRFR112s and when I bought the first one I had it on the floor and it sounded terrible. Bassy and muddy as you described. I was using a Headrush Pedalboard. I lifted it off the floor (small speaker stand about 1M, and wow it came to life and sounds just great. I then bought the second one for stereo and they sound fantastic with my Fender Strat, Tele and Gibson Les Paul. Acoustic guitar. I have played several gigs with these combined with a Fender SuperSonic 22 and I just love the sound I'm getting. Now I just got the Helix LT one day ago but I'm sure that it too will sound great when I get it worked out. Hope this helps. Cheers, All

I only had it one day. All good now. Thanks to all

I tried to update with HxEdit as I read in the user manual. It seemed to started out ok but about 35% through the update process my Win10 PC crashed? I'm thinking there's an issue with HxEdit software on Win10 Then Helix LT would fail during booting and enter update mode. Tried everything and nothing worked. UNTIL I found this forum. Followed the instructions above and using Line6 Updater instead of HxEdit and got the beastie updated and working again. THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU.

Hi, I don't know if this will help, but I have a similar issues with my Fender Twin Amp. I wanted to place the M13 into the amp's effect loop, but the had too much earth hum to make it viable. I tried various methods to isolate the earth but still no good. I then replaced the tubes in the effects loop with the best quality ones I could get and these had higher gain than the Fender Groove Tubes. The result was that apart from the earth hum being increased I also had the squealing and warbling sounds that you describe. Replacing the original tubes fixed the squealing and warbling. So if the tubes in the effects loop were replaced when your amp was repaired, this could be a possible source of you problem. Hope this helps. Cheers, Luke P.S. I still haven't found a way to use the M13 in my amps effect loop. :(
