Hey guys, I just heard a player say that for reasons Iam not sure about, that we should NOT! use XLR cables with the Helix?? Why?? Heard him say that we should only be using AES/EBU 110 Ohm cables? I know those are digital cables? but he says there is a sound quality loss when using XLR cables? Is he right or no? Thanks

Wow! I came from an Axe FX 2 (sickness forced me to sale) and have been using an HD500x for less than a year. I do like it but sorry and I,am NOT! in any way bashing on LIne 6 at all BUT! IMHO I have missed my Axe FX and Axe Edit dearly (Sorry Line 6) for a number of reasons. One, Tone! and user IR,s! to name a couple. I would read articles of people complaining about not catching up to the newer technology, that Line 6 didnt care, yada yada yada. Now that Iam using an HD500x coming from an Axe FX I started to think the same? If I understand and I heard right, Line 6 has been working on this baby for over 4 years!!! I first must say to you Line 6, that Iam very sorry for being so judge mental. Now I see that while some of us have been bothered by what we thought was not caring, is in fact to me anyways a game changer in the guitar modeling arena as we know it!! The Helix is something that I will be buying!!!! I have to say that Iam very very impressed with what you have done. I still believe that Fractal Audio is a great product but to be honest was really kinda bothered that they are bringing out with a pedal board setup but with no amp modeling??? What?? I need the whole package in a one piece unit that is small and I can take with me plug and play. YOU HAVE DONE IT!!! Iam sold!!! The only question that I have is????? When can we hear actual sounds of the amps in action?????? Dying to hear them!!! Please forgive and lets hear this thing!!!!

Hey guys, I know this might be a stupid question but please look past that LOL. I would like to know if you use a dual path Amp setup can you run in mono with one cable? I would think you would have to run in stereo (2 cable) to do this to hear both amps, but dont know? Iam playing thru a set of headphones right now so I think it would sound different if I run thru an amp mono? Thanks

That was it!!!!!! I did make sure my headphones were fully plugged into my Hd, but as stated before this responce,, I alike many others use an adapter for my headphones. Problem solved by pulling my headphone out slightly from the adapter. All works great! I can now practice in Bliss!!!! Thanks guys!!

Only one side of my headphones. Driving my crazy!!

Hi, ok so someone please tell me this is not right? For the first time I took my ipod and connected it to my hd500x to play along with tracks to practice. I do have a stereo cable!!!! Thru my headphones it only plays in mono???? WHAT???? Is this this right??/ Or Iam I an idiot!!! and just need to be shown that! LOL please help
