Hi there. I have already replaced 2 footswitches on my Helix, and now the third one is also going bad. The repairman showed me that small footswitch part (underneath the chrome one that you step on), which is connected to the motherboard are very bad quallity. They are not covered with small rubber protector... This rubber protector actually prevents the oxidation (which happens on temperature changes) and causes the bad operating... I think I would have to change all 12 of them with better rubber ones to get rid of this problem. Very bad Line 6. I hope now, that when Yamaha takes over, they will start to use better quallity footswithes... I am dissapointed.

For now I was using Lexicon. Now I will try the Helix audio interface and connect the speaker to Helix left and right output, just like you suggested. I'll see what happens. Maybe it will sound much better than using Lexicon audio interface. Kind regards.

:) Thanks, it works great...

Hi guys. I need some help. How can I connect my helix into the garage band. I mean I use external Lexicon Lambda sound card (connected via USB cable to my iMac). Then I have two studio table monitors connected to my Lexicon Lambda. When I usually record my guitar, I always connect my guitar to the input of my Lexicon Lambda. In the Garage band I chose Lexicon Lambda in/out. But now with my new Helix I am a bit lost... If I am right, I should connect my guitar to Helix guitar input and connect the Helix with USB cable to my iMac USB port. Now what? There is no sound coming out from my studio table monitors... In the garage band I have chosen for my input "helix input" and for my output lexicon Lambda and there is no sound coming from the speakers. What I am doing wrong. Should I also connect the additional xlr cable from Helix output to Lexicon Lambda xlr input? My goal is to hear the sound from my studio table monitors and not from built iMac speakers. Thx for your help guys.
