Very helpful.  Thank you.

I would be interested to hear about the resolution of this issue.  Please keep us posted.

bobwysol, if your still looking, I have a mint condition Line 6 L2t that I would sell.  I am a play at home musician and don't need the power of the L2t.  If you are interested, my email is:  victorloher@gmail.com

I picked A and was shocked and happy to find out which it was.  Thanks.

Tried several different setups.  Couldn't get a good sound out of it...not even close.  Ended up sending it back.

Hi Guitarzan.  Really like that name.  Thank you for your thoughts.  I ordered it today.  The rep from Sweetwater told me to connect the EVH between the guitar and the Helix.  He said just connecting it directly to the Helix won't really sound good.  I am going to try both your method and Sweetwaters and sew which way sounds the best.  I am also going to check out Jason Sadites videos.  Thanks again.

Is there a similar listing for effects?

I am not overly knowledgeable about pedals, amps and other paraphernalia.  I currently play with a Helix and  Line 6 FRFR setup.  I really like Van Halen stuff and haven't been able to get the 'brown sound' out of the Helix.  I have tried numerous presets on the Helix, but just haven't gotten there.  I am thinking about getting the MXR EVH 5150 pedal and am hoping someone here can answer some questions about it.

Has anyone tried this pedal with a setup like mine...Helix into FRFR?

Do you run the pedal before the Helix or after?

Can I run the pedal directly into the Line 6 FRFR? 

I appreciate any info that you can offer.

Thanks all.

Vic

I currently have presets with no snapshots, 4 snapshots and 8 snapshots.  I am constantly switching the 'Preset Mode Switches' as I use the different presets.  It would be nice to be able to have an option in the presets to enable the 'Preset Mode Switches' to the desired setting.

Please consider.  Thanks.

Very helpful.  Thank you.

Thanks pipelineaudio and cloph for your thoughts.  I think I will wait.  Thanks again.

I am giving serious thought to buying an Amplifi 150.  I notice that they are currently on sale and that the current models are several years old.  I would hate to buy now and them have a new model come out soon after.  Does anyone know if Line 6 is getting ready to release new models in the near future?

Thanks.

Interesting!  I didn't know about these 'sweetened' tunings, but knew that some chords sounded off, like maybe I was pressing too hard.  I ordered a Peterson clip on strobe after reading this.  I am most interested to hear how the guitar will sound now.

Funkyou86, thanks for explanation.

Yep, with OH IR and my Ibanez M80M it sounds really well! I had to put at least 3 eq's to get rid of the hiss, but I am really satisfied with it :)

I am not a Helix programmer by any stretch of the imagination.  I normally use a noise gate to get rid of the hiss.  How does using eq's differ in this

regard.

Thank you.

Agree.  Same with preset lengths.

I hadn't noticed it either.  Thanks.

Gbr,

I had the same experience.  You can download the Factory 1 setlist from the link posted above and import.  That's what I had to do...then the new presets were there.  I don't believe there were any new presets in Factory 2.

Very helpful!  Just wrote to the author to see if it is available in pdf or another format which could be saved or printed.  Thanks for the reference.

Thank you. Thank you.  Thank you Glenn!

Thanks guys.   It turns out that I thought the editor had been updated, but it had not.  Off to play with the Drone.  Thanks again.

Chuskey, I have updated to 2.20, but can't get the patch to load.  Helix tells me "Model specified in preset is not recognized".  I am novice when it comes to programming the Helix.  Any ideas?  

Thanks.

Vic

I thought I noticed an improvement in the sound even before I read this post.  Who knows though, could just be the day.  LOL

Chuskey, that is seriously cool!

Good to know.  Thanks for the response Digital Igloo.
