I can't clear my Helix presets. I have uninstalled and re-installed and my USER preset lists I have worked on reappear. I have saved these already. I just want a fresh restart. The factory reset still has all the user entries after I press that button. When I select factory 2 it crashes. I am using Cubase 10.5 elements. Also crashed out on Repear when I select factory 2.

I am trying to get the tone heard at the spot in the link below. I have EMGs. The tuning in the song is E Standard. I am using the Cali Rectifire. Gain up. I am open to suggestions for anything else I can do. I have tried using Swedish Chainsaw Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion as a blend with the amps high gain tone. Everything is played loud and using an SM57 against the textile of one of the Marshall Cabs. Marshall® 1960 AT75 or G12 M20-25. I have also used an 808 in front. I am thinking I am in the right ballpark. Any help getting there is appreciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0jZvkaQpes&t=67s

I need Cubase Native users. If you use Two Notes then even better. This might be a bit advanced or even not doable but I am trying it. I also use a Helix Stomp. I run a Scarlett and have Focusrite Control software for it. I have been a fan of IR loadboxes for my tube amps. I use a Two Notes box. Anyway I have a lot of cabs I bought from Two Notes (propriatry files) and want to use them with a Helix amp profile through Cubase. So no more real amps for now. I use inserts for VSTs for a single channel in Cubase. The red line in the attached diagram indicates it. I use two VSTs in blue under it. Helix Native first and then Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin from Two Notes. In Native my Setlists have a NO IR directory which means no cabs only heads in the presets list I am editing. The yellow lines in the attached diagram show this amp head only selection in Native. So that leaves Wall of Sound VST next which is where I have a good profile collection. I believe with both activated in the inserts in that order that WOS behaves as IR system? This is where I have two small problems. The first has to do with an FX loop. I'd like to be able to use FX from Native. So I put a green circle around a Delay. I think this delay when on would be an unintended pre-delay payway before the signal hits the IR loader in WOS. Is there a way I can set it one up properly? If I spend some time working on a nice WOS setting can I make it into an IR and then load it up as an IR in my Stomp using Helix Edit uploading?

One problem I am thinking about right now is how much these power amps distort and when they start distorting. I would think distortion on distortion would be mud. So the power amp needs to have clean headroom for my Line6 profiles to sound as they do. Basically the power amp needs to deliver a flat type response at good volumes. Headroom.

So something like a HoTone Loudster Portable Power Amp could sit at the bottom of an open back 1x12 with a F12-X200 inside and a Helix Stomp running into the front of it?

I have a custom 1x12 cab. I have a Stomp. I read that Celestion offer a F12-X200 speaker which is for modelers. Can I go directly from my Stomp to my custom cab with this speaker in it or does it require some way to power the speaker other than the Stomp? If I use a power stage what one would be a good idea that doesn't need a rack?

I saw doing a search. I wonder if there is anything else?

Aside from using a Stomp or FX as a pedal for just this filter, is there anything in pedal format that can match this in some ways? It sounds great.

So today I had to do some H&K amp tones and noticed no H&K amp listed. So I am wondering if anyone made anything that got close and if there are plans to do H&K for the Line6 Helix amp list?

What FRFR speakers are you using?

Thanks to everyone for their feedback so far. That update is really going to help me out. This advice and that update are great. One day when I am better at playing I will consider getting more Helix products. This is because Line 6 is doing it right.

I own the Stomp and a Mission Helix Expression Pedal. The Stomp has 6 usuable blocks. I have noticed when I purchase custom tones that often there are no fx and lots of EQ along the signal chain as well as other non-fx pedals. I find the tones can be considerably better if the 6 blocks are used for non-fx modules. So I am thinking is it worth it to get a HX Effects and get the custom tones for the full Helix or Helix LT and then use software to read those files and recreate them between the Stomp and Effects or will I still run into problems? Would I be better off just getting a Helix LT even though I already spent money on the Stomp and Expression Pedal?

I think I am picking up a ground loop hum using the 4-cable method. I am going into an EVH 5150III 50W on the red channel so it's high gain stuff I am doing. When i turn off the FX Loop using the pedal the hum is weakend considerbly. When its on I am not touching the strings I get a very audible hum. When I play the hum is weakend again. Anyway I would like to clear up this hum. I have the following power conditioner which in conjunction with CIOKS DC7, Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 and/or Mooer Macro Power 12 removes most of the hum I get with using other pedalboards and complex chains. So I do have a noiseless rig with these. https://www.furmanpower.com/product/10a-standard-power-conditioner-wlights-230v-M-10LX E This is my Furman Power Conditioner. M-10LX E. http://resources.nortekcontrol.com/products/M-10LX-E/pdf_M-10LX-E_datasheet.pdf It has a single IEC C14 inlet for a C13 connection. Those IEC C13 connetions are also the 10 outlets at the back. There is one C13 outlet also in the front for convenience. The HX Stomp I have came with a Connection for 9 V DC 3 A power supply. At the moment I am not connecting the HX Stomp to the Furman. It is plugged into a seperate power outlet in the wall because I do not have a simple power extension cord with an IEC connection. I am considering getting a power extension cord with the IEC connection and plugging the HX Stomp into this extension cord and that way having everything powered by the power conditioner. However it is my understanding that power extension cords are not the best way??? to go about power conditioning and I am not even sure if this will get rid of the hum. So what is my option to get rid of the hum? Will the power cord into the power conditioner be enough or will I need something else to get there?

That sounds good. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a power amp for this pathway? Preferably something just as manageable as the Helix.

Sorry I am not so clear on this. In the Helix Stomp if I select an amp, isn't that automatically using power amp emulation? So isn't it just line out from the Stomp to the input on these passive cab 12" FRFR setups?

I take it that I don't need to use a power amp in addition to the Helix to get there? Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. I know this is all cutting edge stuff as a few years ago the answer was generally 'no' but it seems things are changing up a bit.

I have a powered FRFR. Headrush. I have some nice custom cabs basically. This is what I am talking about doing...

Hello, I would like to be able to put a 12" FRFR speaker into my guitar cabinet and take out the 16 Ohm speaker in there. I have heard about the Celestion F12-X200. I have read a bit about the Eminence BETA-12cx and the Delta 12A. There is something called the the box Speaker 12-280/8-A from Germany and also the Kemper Kone (which I can't get here). Are there are others I should know about? Which of those would you get? I know it's subjective but maybe there is something recommend for a Helix Stomp that people get on with well. Thanks!

Thanks If I save in bank 2 can I select bank 2 A and will B,C and D from bank 2 also be present in my FBV express MKII? Like does it depend on which bank you switch to using?

How do I replace the 4 presets? I know I can select Trash, Save, and Publish to Line6 Cloud. If I click save, you can "Save to My Tones" or "Save tone as". Choosing "Save to My Tones" I see it there but when I go to Bank 1 I have no option to replace it in there as A, B, C or D? How do I do this? I have the fsb express mkii pedal and a 150 amplifi.

Anyone any experience how it works then? Says they are compatible in the comparability list on here.

Hello, Does the LINE 6 FBV Express MKII work with an Amplifi 150 and if so are their instructions? Neither manual seems to be specific about this so I am wondering. Thanks

Update from a iPhone didn't work. Update from an iPad didn't work first time with latest, so I installed version 2 and got it to work. I'm glad I don't have a brick anymore but an awesome combo for the features. However this has to rate up there as one of the most needlessly complicated firmware upgrades ever. Hopefully as long as I don't reset the amp or crash it, I won't have to go through these summersaults again. Anyhow, thanks. Works.

Why doesn't the factory reset work though so I can get the 4 basic tones?
