You could: 1) take the amp to an authorized repair center for evaluation 2) use the speaker (note it is a full range speaker, so won't sound the same as a typical guitar-only amp speaker)

Are you sure the UX1 is selected as the audio input device in the Windows settings?

Well, the tuner was not IN the FBV, it just accessed the tuner (in the Spider amp, or whatever you were using), so I suspect you need to go into the MIDI controls and change something. Sorry I can't be more help.

There is no link to those. Some FX got changed with the 2.0 update.

Spider IVs are old amps, if you found a new one to buy, it would be covered in dust from being hidden away somewhere for years! The number of 'problems' is no different than any other electronic device - look at the sheer number of units sold.

Only way you could do that would be to hook up a wrong impedance load, right? Like hooking up a ~2 ohm load (instead of 4 ohms), like putting 2 4-ohm speakers in parallel (stupid way to increase volume!)

Sorry, I don't use Cubase. There should be an 'input selection' option for each track you are recording - so you can select your source from any choices (different audio interface inputs, MIDI, etc).

Hey, I love that a Line 6 expert answers questions here, but your example of 'cranking up the amp'?? That makes no sense. The 75 has a maximum volume attainable, and it should not make a difference if you have channel volume and master volume on 10 or not as to what the amp can attain for volume - whether you are in a garage or an arena. Of course throwing a big boost on the input to get more volume can present issues - but typically this would fry the input circuit, right?

Do you have the full version of PF that allows use as a plug-in in your DAW? The standard version is only stand-alone. If you only have stand-alone, you need to set the input in Cubase to the PF output.

Solid state amps don't "overheat" - like a tube amp that gets hot from the tubes themselves. There are components that can go bad and overheat, as can happen in any electronic device.

No, Line 6 does not make any audio-to-midi device.

It hasn't been updated since before Yamaha bought Line 6, so I would guess there is zero chance of anything changing! They would not want to undercut Helix sales.

What do you have the wireless headphone 'transmitter' plugged into?

Windows 11?? Not likely for PodFarm users!

First thing to check is the small pins on the connectors for the CAT5 cable - both at the amp jack and pedal jack and the cable pins. Look for any bent out of position or shorting onto the next pin. Then check with a different CAT 5 cable.

LOL, that would be a good feature! I only ever did it in rehearsal.

Because 'mic input' is the default selection for input 1 on your Steinburg. If you click on 'file', then 'preferences', you can then look at the input selection and choose ch 1 (mic input) or ch 2 (instrument input) of the Steinburg. Line 6 hardware adds those controls to the PodFarm GUI, but you can still access the features with our Steinburg (input selection from preferences) and 'recording wet/dry' from your DAW or other software.

Not true, you just didn't find the correct settings. I verified it yesterday before replying to you - PodFarm stand-alone works fine for me with a Focusrite AI. An interface is an interface - takes an analog input and converts it to digital.

Ok, when you open PodFarm, click on 'File', then 'Preferences'. Go to the Hardware tab. You should be able to select the Steinberg as your input device there. If it is not an option, then that means you don't have the Steinberg ASIO drivers installed. The reason you are seeing these videos with people using the UX2 is because when you buy a UX2 is comes with PodFarm!

The UX2 is just an audio interface, like your Stenberg. Both will do exactly the same thing with PodFarm. If you have the full version of PF (that allows use as a plug-in), then you also have the stand-alone version already.

OK, I guess you have the 'stand alone' PodFarm only, possibly you need the full version which allows use as a 'plug-in' in a DAW, but... in neither of your Windows audio settings screen shots do you have the interface selected as the device (input or output). This has nothing to do with 'compatibility' with your interface - any interface would behave the same way.

You would need to select PodFarm as your audio input device in the Windows Sound settings. In reality, you should be using a decent DAW, not the Windows audio recorder. Audacity, while really just an audio editor, could be used (it's free). Your AI should have come with Cubase (DAW) - try it!

Uhh, no! The FBV pedals do not have wireless capability. They require power from the device they are plugged into (via the Cat5 cable). And whatever you are using the FBV (which one?) with doesn't have wireless ability either.

Using a looper on the input of an amp with effects means that you cannot change the amp effects when you add a part to the looped track, as it will change the sound of the loop track as well. I am guessing that's what you mean by "it wouldn’t work in the amp properly". The POD GO does not have a looper function. I find it kind of funny that you are stuck on using a $99 bedroom practice amp,. but willing to spend $500 on an 'all in one' effects pedal!

Well, the FBV would not 'do anything' when you are using Spider Edit software. You create/edit/save patches in Spider Edit, then move them into the amp's User Patch locations.
