Scheol

As far as I understand, old Helix presets are supposed to work with Stadium. However, what that means for the Helix Floor wasn’t addressed. Unless I’m misunderstanding you. EDIT: I didn't know that you can link a video via text in this forum. I'm watching it atm and maybe this clears things up for me. EDIT 2: Now I get it! Okay, that makes my question about the qualitative improvement of earlier amps obsolete. Thank you very much for pointing that out!

Thank you. I hadn't realized that the Helix was going to receive additional features and updates — I only noticed the price reduction. That Stadium will likely be a fantastic effects unit is beyond question for me. However, not everyone will immediately have the money to make the switch and will continue to use the Helix Floor. That’s definitely the case for me.

Hello Line6 and dear community, many of us watched the livestream and saw the UFO they’re calling the Helix Stadium. It’s clear that, after 10 years, new hardware needs to be released. But I’m not here to talk about the new Helix — I want to talk about the current (or maybe now “old”) Helix Floor. I have a few questions that I hope Line6 will be able to answer. But first, I want to say that I love my Helix and consider the years of support a shining example of great product maintenance. Now for the questions: Will there be further updates? Will our beloved Helix continue to receive new effects and amps? For example, a slicer is still missing. Will earlier amps be brought up to the quality level of the later ones? If there is another update — will it be the final one, or can we expect further additions in the future? (Even if they come in longer intervals than before.) Will there be a VST plugin for Stadium? Will this plugin replace the current Helix VST, or is it going to be an entirely new offering? When can we expect support for the Helix Floor to be discontinued? Has this already been decided? Are you able to speak about it yet? Or is there currently no plan to end support? Lastly, I just want to say that I’ve always been satisfied with both my Helix Floor and my Pod Go. Thank you for many years of musical joy!

I have a quick question about MIDI over USB control of the Pod Go. We’re currently automating both the Pod Go and the Helix via MIDI, and it’s working great. Snapshots can easily be changed using CC69. On the Helix, the EXP pedal can be controlled via CC59 or toggled with a signal. However, on the Pod Go, nothing happens. According to the manual, there’s no CC command assigned for that either. Does anyone here have a workaround or a suggestion? In short: I’m looking for a way to switch the EXP from Vol to Wah via MIDI.

I see why you are offended so sorry for the hard language. On my side: I'm pretty frustrated. I specifically mentioned that "work-arounds" exist, but I'm not looking for those. Next I got a detailed manual for the exact thing I didn't ask for. Yes, my English isn't perfect. Still it was clear what I tried to say. Let me ask you how many languages you are fluently speaking with no issues at all? In the end, the whole story was built like this: Me: Hey, anyone knows a light food which is healthy? Besides, I don't like apples. Reply: Try apples Me: *sigh*

No front. I asked for something specific to make everything easier and not more complicated. I know about all the possibilities - which I wanted to avoid. With the Helix, I got exactly that.

Since there was no helpful comment, I solved the issue by buying a Helix.

First of all, English is not my first language. Sorry for all the mistakes to happen. I'm happy with my purchase, so this is not a rant. But there's one feature I miss a lot and that is the possibility to assign the same function on multiple switches. For instance: On a given preset (view mode) I'm able to make the amp clean, distorted, raise the level +6db and add a delay effect. This is 3 switches in total: Clean/Distortion Level on/off Delay on/off Pedal Wah on/off There are 3 switches left unassigned. What I want to be able to is assign the empty switches to the same functions. For instance the delay effect. One footswitch turns it on, another footswitch turns it on, raises the level and turns on the wah, the next footswitch just raises the level, the pedal still can turn on the wah. This would look like this: Clean/Distortion Level on/off Solo 1 (Level, Delay) on/off Solo 2 (Level, Delay, Wah) on/off Delay on/off Pedal Wah on/off These are 6 situations that exceed the 4 possible Snapshots. Yes, there is a work around. One can be in view mode (set like the first setup), switch to snapshot-mode (giving 3 more sounds) and go back to view mode. In live situations there'd be more convenience if I could use multiple assignment like shown with the second setup. I'm not sure if there are technical issues with my suggestions. If not, I'd be more than happy to make it easier for me on stage over multiple assignments. Let me know what you all think about this. Do you constantly switch modes for different purposes? Would multiple assignments make things easier for you? Do you need it anyways? Best regards and be nice :)

I do not think that cannibalizing is a very good argument, though I believe Line6 run with it. Many costumers may buy this device because they can't afford the bigger units. I'd be baffled if people buy a Helix because of missing blocks. Most costumers will never buy a Helix, because the POD Go was exactly what they could afford in first place. Even if they gave us all the amp models and blocks, you still don't have MIDI, parallel routing, Variax support etc. These features are going to convince folks into buying a LT or full Helix. It's not the blocks.
