You could reinstall one of your backups. But this assumes you have made backups of your files.

I don't have the 400, so I can't answer that question with authority. Even more so, considering I thought the 400 pedal was a dedicated wah/volume pedal. I didn't know it was an expression pedal capable of other functions. However... On other units, such as the ones I own, you need to adjust the "mix" volume. You want to listen to a 100% wet signal. Anything less will allow the dry signal through. Again, I don't know if this applies to the 400, but.... You also need to know placement in the signal chain. If you have your pitch on the left, it won't change what you hear on the right.

I haven't had the problem, but have seen others have it. In fairness, my "section" doesn't have a lot of activity. I wasn't necessarily even trying to open anything. But, it was quite ironic when I opened this topic and was asked to "click on the bicycle" before I could read it.

There is nothing to open. You aren't opening anything. You are simply downloading them so that you can transfer them to your device.

Those are some big tech words. But, L6 does offer a "download" section. Perhaps that may help.

Yes. https://line6.com/support/announcement/113-introducing-line-6-central/ Although.... Monkey may have been replaced. But I think you should still be able to connect to it, just not connect to L6. Does EDIT work?

I have a 1953 Guild 12-string A 1975 Delta 88 Royale Before switching to HD500 (2014), I used the same rig for nearly 30 years. I don't think buying/using old anything is a bad idea. As long as it works and serves a purpose. So, the question isn't for us to answer. It is for you: Does the 500 do what you need? Does the Helix do what you need? Do you want to use an amp or monitors? Of course, the monkey wrench in the situation.... The Pod and Helix aren't analog pieces of gear. How much computer music someone makes will make a difference, because the POD isn't doing well with new computers.

I have found the entire internet to be somewhat broken anymore.

That is because you can only transfer licenses (for model packs) one time. The only way to freely sell the packs is to sell the account.

If it makes you feel any better, none of my gear has any issues.

I don't have a Helix. But my unit has "Growler" listed under filter. It is a good place to start.

On the 500, it depends on if you are making changes with the device or with a pc. With the edit software, changing the amp will change the cab and mic. But changing the cab will not change the mic.

Using these three for examples: I would put a tuner before the volume pedal. WHY? Because I can turn my volume off and still tune. There's some more technical reasons, like a volume pedal amplifying certain frequencies that may or may not drive the tuner bonkers. But muting to tune is the primary reason. And noise gate???? I wouldn't put it before a volume pedal because when the gate activates and shuts off sound, if you have the volume pedal up, it will be a much more noticeable hard break. That doesn't make them wrong. And I am certainly not wrong. But it shows how rules aren't rules as much as they are suggestions. The different ways one uses a NG or VP can alter where you place them.

Separate post, not a continuation of the first A lot of new users (myself included) get lost because they look at 1000 options in the unit and they feel overwhelmed. But instead, to become familiar with the concept of virtual amps/fx/etc, you should be comparing it to the physical amps/fx/etc. Try to recreate your physical rig using a virtual rig. If you never used a "Tron Up", don't use it now. If you never used a Peavey 5150, don't use it now. If your 1983 rig was guitar-wah-distortion-amp, your virtual rig should be guitar-wah-distortion-amp. This brings down the drama to something more manageable. You are familiar with physical X, use virtual X. The 1000 options in the unit can be thought of as "The Music Store". In the physical world, we stress over which of the 1000 options to buy, but only buy a handful. In the modeling world, you have the 1000 options from the store (the device), but only need to buy a couple (patch design). Once you get the hang of that, then you can start with "what if I add this" or "what if I Switch that" and the always famous GAS - I never owned a Fender Twin, nows my chance to use one.

Ask yourself, do you want to distort a clean echo or echo the distorted sound. It is music, there are no rules. But, there are millions of tried-and-failed things that have come before... so why bother doing them. As there are also "this works" methods you want to use. That's how we come up with things like the Circle of Fifths. It works, try it, start here always. But, in the 1960s, Jimi Hendrix took that ugly, disgusting, and annoying ear splitting sound we called feedback, and he made it his lollipop. At the time, the rule was "feedback=bad", but he broke that rule. He tamed it and made it part of music history. All that to say: The list that is a good place to start. But the specific sound you are looking for may need to switch it up.
