opps, my response deleted, not relevant to the HXE..

Wow, would really like to see a picture of that guitar..

Yep. Same here..

Operator error. I thought the updater was supposed to download it all. Following the "clearly" written and "simple" instructions works much better... Thanks!

that's what (I thought) I did? I'll do it again...

I can only load the 1 Switch Looper from the hardware knobs via my Helix (now ver 2.60) - it is nowhere to be found in my Helix Editor (showing Ver 2.52). Weirder than that, once I load it to a preset, it doesn't show up in my Helix Editor in my signal path, but it clearly shows up on my Helix signal path. Bug?

Yep, I like Jason’s methodology as well. His template is my starting point for building patches now..

Awesome PerS, appreciate the share on the compilation. Well done sir!

Thanks for answering a great question..

When L6 brought over the legacy effects from the M series pedal boards, they should have considered bringing the M’s tuner as well. My M13 tuner is far more user friendly (stable) than my Helix.

So I assume you’re keeping it :D

Not sure but I still do it. Doesn’t take that long. Then after that I still do the 10 & 11 to rewrite all the patches via the new update. Again, only takes a few minutes. Then I reinstall my backup.

You say you basically played acoustic for 8 years, do you have a decent acoustic amp? I only ask, because I was in sorta the same boat when I bought my Helix 2 years ago. Was basically just running it via my DAW monitor system and looking for an FRFR solution. Then it dawned on me that my Fishman Loudbox Performer was also a very VERY nice 180w line level PA system when hooked up from the back, bypassing the preamp. I can run it stereo in as well. I’m no longer in the market for an FRFR.

I’m using the same two Line 6 MIssion Engineering pedals I used for years with my Line 6 M13. No problems at all with those.

Wow, that’s impressive as can be!

Oh cool. Would’ve never thought of that... thx!

Yepper! ONCE I CLOSED HX EDITOR, it worked like a charm.

either way, keep us posted...

Hey and welcome.. Not a metal player here, but I was in the same boat 2 years ago. I.e., I dropped $1.5k on the Helix not sure if it would meet my expectations - pretty much as did everyone else on this forum. My only advice is: If you can't get what you want out of it - send it back and get your refund. I play classic rock, blues, etc on both solid bodies and acoustic. After 2 years I now have 8 presets with multiple snapshots on each one to cover everything I do. My only problem with the Helix at this point is: I have 2 tube amps, 1 nice modeling amp, and shelves full of analog and digital pedals not being used. Bottom line is: if you bought the Helix from a reputable retailer, you have nothing to worry about. Enjoy the tweaking.

Yep it do. Just getting back from a trip a few days ago and basically updated the Helix via the Helix Updater Tool (Mac user here). 2.50 Helix, 2.51 Editor, and all of my old settings seemed to load up in one step after executing the file that the Updater Tool found for me. Then I realized that I needed to do the FS 9 + 10 to get the Factory presets for 2.50. Of course, after that I had to rebuild my Globals, Presets, and IRs using the Editor. I decided to reboot with FS 10 + 11 after all that to ensure my presets were updated to 2.50. Not sure it was necessary? But did it anyway. Not complaining at all. But did Line 6 provide step by step guidance (as they always did previously) for the slicker/ gazillion times better update procedure? I couldn't find anything?

another M13 for sale :ph34r:

OK, after a week or so of tweaking this routing, I agree, this works really well. As typical, I use two 3 Sigma IRs in parallel which covers some specific high and low freq mic types and settings. Pretty sweet direct acoustic sounds. So Line 6 should build and add a few acoustic cabs - then using this routing config - they could easily provide a set of seriously nice acoustic presets built in and ready to go in the Helix. Thanks again Mr. Hamm

OK, will set that up and see how it does. Pretty much those device settings are close to mine +/- here and there. However, running the IR into the pre amp might make the difference.. thx

Is that preset posted anywhere? Would like to check it out. I own plenty of 3Sigma acoustic IRs. I’ve tried the Studio Tube Pre from every direction, IRs, EQs, etc. That pre amp model is a bit harsh for my ears. Definitely up for some high end reverbs.. Thx!

Any possibility that acoustic guitar amps would get consideration?
