Pending offer on ebay, 1700 USD + shipping. I will keep it on hold till Saturday night, if no better offer will accept it.

This is as good as it can get. Ready to fly-tour helix rig I am the first owner and this rig is only been used twice on stage. Was allways in a smoke free studio. Helix is in mint condition. What the buyer gets with this auction: * Line 6 Helix (1499$ new) * A custom build lightweight wood pedalboard (250$ new) * Pelican Stormcase im3100 (costs 250$ new) * 2 Line 6 expression pedals (cost 45$ each) * custom build canare instrument and expression pedal cables (cost 50$) * 3 high quality xlr cables for helix's xlr outs and mic in (cost 45$ each) Total value of this rig is around 2150$ The whole rig in pelican case is 39.7 pounds and super easy to carry around since the pelican case is on wheels. The case is super sturdy and helix is safe inside since its also protected all around with foam. Fits in any cars trunk. Dimensions of pelican im3100 are: 16.5" x 39.8" x 6.7" I still have the original box-packaging of Helix. Can ship it also if the buyer pays the shipping cost. It will be shipped from East Bay-California-El Cerrito

paolo thx, i know there is ways around but this is not the purpose...some stuff should be logical and straight forward. i know its a new device but...whatever i made my mind and put my helix for sale. still thx for your advice

we need kill dry for FX on parallel path such as delays or reverbs. right now anytime you activate-deactivate the FX it changes the dry level.

sometimes you want to record and play the recorded track later. you press record and you press play/stop it plays, you press record again it plays...one button should just stop recording and not start playing. and sometimes you want to play right away in reverse mode. so if you choose reverse before recording it should stay that way and not start playing forward right away...

is helix connected to computer via USB and if yes are you using a powered USB hub?

thx guys

i have both, axe fx and helix...helix is nice and has alot of potential (if line6 keeps on updating) but axe fx is far superior. it not only sounds better, but there is also alot alot more experience and thought behind. how you can control everthing, turn on and off stuff, scenes....etc etc etc...goes on and on and on. people who dont have axe fx or are not really familiar with it cant understand. its hard to explain and way easier to show. the only better side of helix is. more in and outputs, mic input and the editing on the unit is way easier and more fun...my 2cents... still i think i will keep helix for a while and see how it developes. (even though axe fx has still way more frequent updates. i dont know if line6 will ever be able to catch up).

i thought its out since a while...so you cant see the download link also?

i am trying to find the editor, no matter i check the beta box or note i am end up in a loop. going back and fort between the forum and line6 page and cant find a link to download... can someone help? thx

scenes would be a proper solution for this...in most cases people wouldnt need to switch presets and 1 preset would be enough for most songs you play. even you could do a whole show - concert with one preset.

thx for the response. 1&2) i think there is misunderstanding about the scenes function in axe fx. lets think of a simple preset wah-distortion-amp-delay. when i call the preset just amp block is on. if i go to scene 2 i will have distortion x, then a go to scene 3 and i will have wah distortion y. then scene 4 could be distortion y amp y delay x etc etc and think about having a preset with 12 blocks and you can program in each scene for each block whatever you want and their on off states could be recalled with each scene the way you want. i can program for each scnene also a different output volume...there is even some more features around scenes. 3) pages function. i am probably not using the right terms sorry, what i mean is. i have a set of midi buttons, 10 of them with helix. if the preset button would function as page up down for midi, on the other pages i could have the same buttons for different midi purposes. hope this time i am better:) 5) yea forget about it, doesnt make sense:)

Hey guys thx for the responses, Probably u know but just to make clear, scenes are not only for spillover or parameter change. It lets u also choose a different fx model inside the block. Example x state can be tape delay and y reverse delay. And also with scenes you can turn on and off as many effects as you want. (With one button) And all these happen without lag, sound drop off etc...its like having 8 banks in 1 preset. Thx for the advice vmoncebaiz, i already applied to open an account on ideas page and waiting for approval.

first of all, i like helix and it sounds good. but i wish it had some of the features of axe fx: 1) scenes, 2) x/y state for blocks and on one of the first videos i watched, the guy on the video was marketing helix also as a decent midi controller, it is ok but it needs features as on softstep or similar midi controllers, than it would be almost perfect as a midi device plus modeller. missing midi features: 1) multiple midi commands per button. 2) pages function where you can assign the same button for different purposes on different pages. 3) midi features like on softstep, example: you program button 1 light so that it turns off when you press button 2 (or 3 etc). or you press a certain button and multiple buttons go off...this is a serious point to be able to keep track of whats going on when u want to control devices like kemper, axe fxh or DAWs like ableton with helix. 4) bi directional messaging through ethercon that the screen on helix would show whats on the slave device (kemper, axe fx etc...) 5) and maybe a way to shot down the whole modeling-fx processing and go into a midi controller mode really hope to see some of these features soon.

u nailed it, thats all whats about. i sold my pedalboard (mfc+case+expressions pedals) for exact same price what i paid for helix.

thx peter, ofcourse i wont use helix ONLY to control axe fx. i would use helix also at rehearsals, sessions...but most probably i wont be using it for recording or more important gigs (maybe for the FX but not for the core amp sound)

i will be on the same boat in 2 days. helix comes on wednesday and i hope i can get a decent way to control axe fx 2...i was also wondering if i could connect both devices via cat5 and if helix screen would show whats on axe's screen?

i wouldnt buy helix before it supports page function as midi controller and has scenes for presets. if these get added that would be a great controller and backup for my setup and i would buy

so nobody knows even from line6? i was seriously thinking of purchasing one but probably its not doing what i am looking for..

does it have page function that we can program the switches for different midi CCs on each page, if yes how many pages? and can we program more than one midi CC per button (to send simultaneously more than one midi command with one switch) and will it transfer the preset name on axe fx screen to its own screen when its connected via midi cable or etnernet. thx
