So, is there any news on this? many people said that 1.12 firmware has an improvement of the visual sensivity of the tuner but i couldnt find anything in the update list?! and for anybody from LINE6, who didnt believe me: this clearly shows, what i mean! i did the same with a Korg pitchblack and, while the korg was above the green, the helix was below. seems like this problem is more representative with lower tunings. please, once again: provide us a higher graphic resolution!!!!!!

By the way... my KORG pitchblack+ has an accuracy of +/-0.1 Cent. That could be an explanation, especially when its going for down tunings.

Ok, i will now try to explain my problem more precise. With all your comments, i tried it once again, and everytime i use my helix units, that spoils me- really. Some facts: - Valley Arts Strat with 3 Singlecoils, passive. - .062 - .012 Strings, 5 days old. - direct input from my Guitar to Helix. - Tuner Mode is normal, no offset etc. - Tuning: B,F#,B,F#,A,D - Sperzel Locking Tuners First, checking the tuning. Some are green, some not. Without listening to it, i m only tuning everything to green, except the low B, which must remain -2 or -3 in Red, due to decay and fat strings etc. Then listening to it, and taadaaa... sounds horrible. THEN i am making fine adjustments only with my ear, really very fine. The tune is not perfect, but its ok. And... the helix tuner still shows ALL GREEN! i admit it has to do with the perception of these ugly big blocks, but either i am stupid or all other guys dont like perfect tunings. Next i tested it with the Korg Tuner, and i inserted it into the helix send. there is a difference of 2-3 brackets. How i know the Korg Tuner is correct? We are playing with keyboards coming from a sequencer. One of us used to have one from Boss. Also no Problem and we have 3 Guitars, everyone must be in tune, or it ends up in a mess haha :-) My 2nd guitar player also uses now a helix. And we would both like to stay with it, its really such a cool device. But he has exactly the same problem with the tuner, thats why we continue with the ones from korg so far. i dont say its only the tuner, it can be my perception for sure. I would so much like to know, if everything would be allright with a higher resolution or a different design. But for now its more like "argghhh it drives me crazy" :-D

Haha... YES, volume cranked up and YES going directly into the Helix. Its not the first time i am using a tuner and a guitar. And my collegue has the same problem. The tuner is inaccurate and shows incorrect values. If time permits, i will post a picture with the korg tuner right next to it. And believe me the Korg one is correct, we are working with 3 guitars and are very experienced with tuners, drop tunings, intonation and all that kind of stuff, and i really was amazed by this fail :-)

So , i got the helix since 3 days. And first i have to say - yes it can replace an amp without degrading sound etc. its really a versatile device, and i like it. Now, lets explain issues with the tuner. i use some different drop tunings going down to the low B,A and G. First, the scale of the tuner is rough, these big blocks combined with the missing sensivity make it hard to tune the guitar precisely. I'm tuning the guitar, everything is green, and a chord sounds horribly out of tune. i have to adjust with my ear. Playing one single string 3 or 4 times, the tuner changes its mind and suddenly explanes i am too low. Then i'm ok again and so on. Its really a mess. Had this experience with different guitars and different outputs. Now i added my external KORG pitch black. and, as i expected almost ALL notes differ from the Helix tuner (both in 440hz). So how can that be? Its a shame that with such a display and programming it is not possible to change the resolution of the tuner and the displaying method like having a strobo or an analog needle. My other guitarist in the band has absolutely the same problem with his helix. (we both changed complete setup to helix 3 days ago) The tuner is useless. Secondly the switching time between presets is too long. And as mentioned it should be possible to asign colors to presets. so i guess i have to sign up for the ideascale. best regards edit: my old POD HD tuner is great, no comparrison to the helix tuner.

exactly! thank you, so now i know its not my fault :-) Ok- I NEED MULTIPLE COLORS WITH THE PRESETS!! and lin6 has to change or exchange this accident of a tuner, if you can call it tuner. This thing is really a catastrophy. it would be nice to give these inputs directly to line6. is there a way to do that? thx and best regards

Is it possible to assign the footswitch color in a preset? since they are all red, i would like to have a certain variety on the footswitches. Makes it much easier in the dark...
