I"d go Powercab 212 Plus ... I own a 112 plus which sounds awesome and don't think the 212 is much heavier as it's loaded with 2 onboard 12 in Eminence Neodymium speakers..... That can be paired-up or swapped out with one of the 12 speaker models as of the 2.00.1....

Ahh I see guess it falls under personal preferences .. ; )

I actually really like the new red bar method seems to be easier to view and visually more pleasing, especially on the startup! That totally makes my day : )

Line 6 is on a roll ; )) ........ Man the drives sound awesome through the Powercab + at least : ))........ As do the Amps sweeeet !!!

Just updated to 2.81 everything went smooth and sounds awesome,, no issues updating to 2.81 at all thx Line 6.....

Thank you .............. you as well rd2rk! ; )

I generally try to keep my rants positive and informative for this exact reason!

The Powercab sounds Killer to me, really happy with the 2.00.1 update. The tone, feel and overall playing experience is awesome. Flat mode- Raw, LF Flat and FRFR are also great.... And of coarse the 12 stock speaker models listed below. 6 New Speaker Models DINO – Based on* the Eminence Cannabis Rex™. Uniquely constructed with a hemp-based speaker cone material, the Cannabis Rex is described as having a smoky, smooth high-end definition, and boasts a full, clean tonality, with lots of body and sparkle. (pronounced "di·no") LECTO – Based on* the Electro-Voice® EVM 12L. Designed for professionally precise, fully overdriven, punchy tones and brilliant cleans. They are a signature component of the classic Mesa/Boogie® sound. HERALD – Based on* the Celestion® G12H(55) Heritage. Featuring a heavier magnet than the original G12M Greenback, this speaker replicates the sound of the original G12H. BROWN – Based on* the Celestion® G12 EVH®. While the Greenback 20 played an essential role in the sound of Eddie Van Halen's unmistakable sound, this speaker was the based on the 60s version Greenback and used in his signature amplifier. SHADE – Based on* the Mesa/Boogie Black Shadow C90. Custom made for Mesa/Boogie by Celestion in the UK, this speaker provides a tight and controlled low end, aggressive midrange attack, and strong high-bass / low-mid punch. They are a feature in many Mesa/Boogie amps. JETSON – Based on* the Jensen® C12K. The C12K is often paired with Fender® amps for great for a heavy mid and solid, straight forward, slightly darker tone. Can also present bold and heavy overdriven tones. 6 original speaker models VINTAGE – Based on* the ubiquitous Celestion Vintage 30 which, despite its name, is commonly used and beloved for "modern" tones. GREEN – Based on* the Celestion Greenback speaker, typically paired with vintage Marshall® Plexi amplifiers for a signature classic rock tone. CREAM – Based on* the Celestion G12M-65, a higher powered version of the ceramic C12N with a brighter top end. JARVIS – Based on* the Jensen® P12Q, often paired with Fender® amps for great rich, full clean tones. BAYOU – Based on* the Eminence Patriot Series Swamp Thang™, which provides big aggressive bottom end with classic American tone, perfect for blues and jazz. ESSEX – Based on* the Blue Bell speakers often paired with Vox® amplifiers and Class A style amps for a "chimey" tone

Hey Marekski, I wish I could tell you but I'm anticipating 2.80 will be released soon!!!!

I'm guessing Helix 2 is at least a year away.. Since line 6 has been integrating their complete Helix line into Helix core / Helix ,,LT , Helix Stomp , Hlx Effects and Native and with 2.80 and 3.0 firmware updates coming out soon.... Helix 2 should still be a while yet imo ,,,,. Line 6 has also introduced the Powercab & PC + that's still fairly new on the market, so who knows what's next but looking forward to some great things from L6 in the next few years!!..

Wow same here plugged in my strat with Helix and Powercab and the tones are awesome.... Very content with the stock cabs esp the Vintage 30 and the Greenback but also great having the option of LF Raw speaker mode which also bring out all the true nuances in both the amps and effects .....

Stay Safe guys I hope everything will work out,,,we are all with you guys and wish nothing but the best!!!

I also purchased the Power cab + and love it!! The speaker models that come pre-installed with the powercab are great and paired up with Helix sound awesome! Also the plus is expandable with future updates!. The unit is also very well built to line 6's high standards and specs!

'll take a Helix maintenance, bug fixes and improvements all day long... and an awesome tuner to boot... Sweet update!

Or throw it off a 35 story building!! ....And yet then it still may work fine, I never had a problem with mine as well!

I really can't tell you what to purchase that's your choice : )) .... I purchased the Plus because of the extra features and IR loading. and Speaker expandability. But what I meant to say is that if you purchased the Powercab it's also great because the stock cabs sound great!

I'm also loving my Powercab + It sounds awesome and is a keeper for me a well . The 6 stock speakers models are excellent!

.... lmao

Updated to 2.54 Thanks ....... L 6

Just saw it : ))

It may be the usb port on the helix, although sometimes when i plug in my Helix it doesn't make a beep or sound but is connected.. Also make sure you have the latest Line 6 updater installed and see if the Line 6 installer will recognize your Helix.

Thanks @HonestOpinion great advice .. Even though some updates say they include the latest software version and applications, they don't always get updated and need to be installed individually depending on your computer/. .. You can check the current line 6 updater it in the file location under properties / details to see if it's the current version. It's not always displayed on the desktop shortcut.. current Line 6 updater is 1.14

Same here I updated last night to 2.53 with no issues.

Yesssss up and running 2.53 :) :)
