Thanks, just added this to my bug list to tackle.

@Klaim I just released an update to https://helixhelp.com. Please let me know if I have finally squashed those unicode character gremlins you encountered. Thank you!

Yep, those Unicode characters are still on my list. Tough because I don’t have a way to duplicate the issue. I hope to address it in the next update this weekend though.

I updated Helix Help with light and dark theme switching (dark is default), removed the duplicate Vintage Digital listing, fixed a documentation issue related to IRs, and added a simple blog feature. FYI: The theme selector uses a browser cookie to remember your theme selection. The cookie lasts for 1 year after your last visit to Helix Help. Let me know if you all would like theme switching based off of your system settings as well. @Schmalle I noted your suggestion about mic models and will see what I can do.

Not to worry... the theme is fully switchable and I’ll implement that very soon. You’ll be able to choose between the standard dark view or a light mode as well. Stay tuned.

Hello all, Today I released a huge update to Helix Help (https://helixhelp.com). On the surface, it looks the same, only much prettier and more refined. Beneath the surface it is an entirely new code architecture that will give me much more control over updates in the future. Some enhancements you’ll notice right off the bat: Models now show up in the search box at the top of the page. You can now search by artist such as Clapton, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Stevie Wonder, etc. Its much, much faster. It just looks so much better and better matches the Helix look and feel. As with any major change, I’m sure some bugs will creep in here and there and I’ll be on the lookout for them. If you come across anything, please shoot me a message via the contact form on the site. Keep on playing. Jason

Thanks for the kind words regarding https://helixhelp.com, @cgar18 and everyone else. @Lynxpaw Helix Help has been a passion project of mine that I basically created for myself. It just happened to be picked up by a large part of the Helix community over the years. If its not your cup of tea, that’s ok, there are other options already available and you can always create your own personal guide. If you’d like to improve the crappiness of Helix Help instead, please feel free to send me some suggestions or a feature list you’d like to see and I’ll see what I can do to make it happen (just use the contact form on the site). Your ideas would likely make Helix Help way better and that is really all I care about. Lets make it awesome and more helpful for the community together! I hope you all have a great day! Keep on playing.

@Klaim thank you for the info. I’ll dig in and see what I can do.

that’s very interesting. I can’t replicate that issue. What browser and operating system are you using?

Hello everybody, Most of you know about my passion project, https://helixhelp.com. It has been awhile since I did a complete update and well... today is the day. Here is the big takeaway: Every model/block from the Helix family is now available on Helix Help including all of the available parameters per model. I simplified the models section of the site to be a single page. On this page you will find two dropdowns. The first is the model/block category, the second, is the subcategory for the selected category. Think of the category dropdown as the general block sections, ie distortions, dynamics, wah, amps, etc. Think of the subcategory dropdown as the available types within the selected category: mono, stereo, legacy, guitar, bass, etc. You can still further filter through the models by using the filter input. For instance, if you've selected the category "amp", and are on the "guitar" subcategory, type "vox" to get all of the Vox amps or type, "fender" to get all of the fender amps. That's it. I hope you guys dig the update.

It is safe to use but the frequency response won’t give you the thump in the chest and will leave you disappointed. I have a Mission Engineering Gemini FRFR (which is very close to what the PowerCab offers) as well as a QSC CP12 and the CP12 stomps all over the Gemini. I highly recommend the QSC if you want to use a bass guitar as well as a guitar (or even a keyboard). https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CP12--qsc-cp12-1000w-12-inch-powered-speaker It’s plenty loud as well which was a concern of mine but turned out to be unfounded. if you want stereo, just buy two and your still under the cost of the PowerCab 212 Plus and you have a great sounding PA setup too boot.

It’s been ages since I’ve given an update about https://helixhelp.com so I figured I should give one. Here are some of the latest updates: This past weekend I fixed an ugly issue related to some 404 errors that were brought to my attention by @HonestOpinion. All of those issues should now be resolved. If you encounter any more, please let me know via the contact form on Helix Help or right here in this thread. I updated the look of the header to have a darker look. I felt it needed to match the Helix a bit better than it did. All of the models are up to date with the latest firmware version of Helix and I’ll continue to update it as Line 6 has new releases. Behind the scenes I’m adding the firmware release version to every model and that information will display in the model lists once they become available. Other than that, I’ve been making small updates here and there to polish some things and fix minor issues. I have some big plans for more manuals and better model listings. I really want to thank all of you guys for using Helix Help. It is amazing that a website that I started just so I could more easily remember some model information on the Helix has turned into such a popular destination. As per the usual, if you find anything that needs fixed, updated, or if you just have an idea for a new feature you’d like to see, feel free to contact me anytime. I try my best to reply as quickly as I can. Thanks again.

Update: Line 6 was able to reproduce after watching my video and forwarded the issue on to the development team. Just a guess but based on the severity of this issue, I imagine it’ll be in the next batch of bug fixes.
