    Do you have any acoustic IRs?
  2. surfsup1955
    Where did you buy it? If it was Sweetwater, and you've had it less than 30 days, tell them you want to return it. Your Line 6 support scenario doesn't sound typical to me?

    To my ears, especially in the mix, I can easily miss the mark on perfect tone. So as a Helix owner/tweaker for almost 5 years I can't tell much difference in the Helix and tube/analog gear (have sold off most of my amps and analog pedals as a result). I'd be interested in seeing if you or anyone here can get (guess) Jason's setup correctly: Jason's tone test.. If anyone takes the test please paste your response here before the deadline. Thanks..

    Created a Sound Cloud account, hopefully you can listen to these short files: Acoustic Natural Acoustic Strumming Acoustic Ambient

    Try sweeping a high Q (narrow) reduction between 750-850 hz.. I set the parametric EQ as my first fx block to get the best sound possible from my dry line in tone (guitar and pickup only), then I switch on the IRs. I prefer 2 IRs in parallel, one with more bass and one with more mid/highs), then I use the IR block level settings to mix the tone. I add the wet stuff last. Works for me.

    I would like to share some of my acoustic preset samples but even the short wav files are a few MBs and too large to post here..

      Another question. This is something I sent to line 6 support. when I plug my usb into my computer to use HX edit. The ground loop/hum is tremendously loud. 

      I literally have my master output at the end of my blocl maxxed out just to compensate for it. And it's almost even.

      I have used 2 different computers

      Various usb cable

      Various outlets

      Ground lifts,

      Nothing works

       

      Any ideas?

      Just set up my K&K Trinity. Wow big improvement from the PIEZO no doubt!!! The pure mini pickup is sooooo much better than the Piezo by itself. The mic is just an added bonus. I would be satisfied with the pure mini on its own.

      Hey Gerry,

       

      Sorry I did not see these posts, you should probably use the forum to communicate because I am not notified of these direct posts to my profile until I visit the forum.  However I am notified (as is everyone else) when you respond to a forum thread discussion.

       

      Regarding your USB issue, I am not sure I even understand what is happening per your description.  Have you started a thread on the forum? 

       

      Glad you're liking the K&K system, the 'mini' is the best acoustic pickup in my opinion.  Piezo pickups aren't even in the same league.

    Did you intend for this post to go somewhere else? I'm only asking because it has zero to do with this thread.

    Gerry, I trimmed the preset to load up on HX Stomp (ver 3.0 or higher) and it's up on CustomTone: https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5257476/ CustomTone comments: IR used is 3 Sigma Mart 45 Soundhole 1b. Guitar is a Martin D18 with a K&K Pure Mini pickup. Typically tuned to Eb w/light gauge bronze strings using a medium pick. Preset contains 3 snapshots EQ'd differently using the new Acoustic Sim on side chain. Only 7 fx blocks, HX Stomp compatible. Requires HX 3.0 or higher.

    Thanks, I didn't know that. This means my son and I can swap presets, awesome! However, my preset in this discussion is using both paths.
  12. surfsup1955
    Hey Gerry, as is typical, my main acoustic preset has morphed into something different than what i described above, which I now prefer. It still requires 3 Sigma IRs. Also I have had a chance to piddle around with an HX Stomp (my son bought one) and I know for a fact you can't use a Helix Floor preset in your HX as it doesn't have the dual DSP paths. However, I will be glad to send.

    Hi Surfsup, 

    Sorry i missed your reply to my post somehow. I would love to hear your patch, I have the same IR's. Funny you mentioned the K&K pure mini  pickup. I have the K&K Trinity ordered and should have it tomorrow. Great time to take your patch for a spin. 

    Thank you and sorry for missing this to begin with,  just goes to show you how long I have been fighting with this one.

    Gerry

    Firmware 3.01 update went smooth..to include restore from backup.
  15. surfsup1955
    I can image there are a lot of HX owners who don't search forums for advice or even update their units, my oldest son being one of them. So yea, I'd guess this is a small sample of owners. He's visiting in Dec and I told him to bring his HX and we'll update it to 3.0..lol

    Ah, ok.. but someone is paying invisioncommunity for the service?
