Another thought to consider is to get an HX Stomp which has an very high quality Audio Interface, plus contains all the same firmware amps, cabs, fx, as available via Helix Native, all in one small box. And, via HX Edit you can access and control the HX Stomp directly via USB from your computer screen with the luxury of the full HX Edit visual display. Alternatively, use the HX Stomp solely as an Audio Interface, and it's headphone jack (if you wish for Zero Latency monitoring of your guitar). Plus, purchasing an HX Stomp which is currently on sale from Line 6 and many resellers, you are also entitled to a significantly discounted price on Helix Native, so it may be an ideal way to go. As @silverheadjust posted, do your research! Happy Holidays.

@guitargrinder, the answer to your question is: Absolutely Yes! You will discover things that about the gear that will astound you!

Line 6's just dropped Dynamic Splits video highlights a really versatile too often overlooked very capable feature! Check it out:

@Drybonz yup! It could work for lots of Block types. I'm sure Line 6 would think this through thoroughly before they set out to actually code it for a new feature enhancement. If you've got specific ideas and thoughts, the best place to present them to Line 6 is in the Idea Scale thread. That's where Line 6 pays attention to the votes and input! If you have other Helix Users also spread the word to them to vote it up and submit their thoughts.

This morning's Line 6 Ideas email had a great suggestion! The idea is to keep cab block parameters while changing cab blocks. I voted it up and added to it. Check it out, upvote if you like, so Line 6 might consider it for a future update Keep Cab Block Parameters to switching btwn/amongst cab blocks Direct URL: https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/114452?utm_source=notifciation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=225&utm_term=digest-v2&utm_content=c240.m43726.rpe.w201

@Mxzx Also available for you to use to your best advantage is the Customized User Default for the Amp Block of your preference. Although not the same as a Global configuration which would automatically adjust your existings Presets, the ability to change the Factory Default settings of the Amp block you prefer and Save it as your Customized User Default is a very handy feature! The Customized User Default feature does not allow you to rename the name of the Factory Default Amp Block. It is very similar to its "sister" feature of creating a User Favorite which requires you to enter a name to save any Block (Amp or FX) with the customized parameters you desire, so you have it available under Favorites when you select a Block Type. Hope this helps.

@hcmiv if your budget can handle the additional expense of the Helix Floor, go that way! You are not likely to regret the dedicated AuxIn for use with your guitar's piezo pickup. Plus, you will have greater flexibility how to use and route the two individual guitar signal feeds. And, you still have the Floor's four Send/Returns available for whatever you may wish to explore!

Upvoted it on IdeaScale!

@rd2rkexplained it perfectly!!

@MarcelineauYour inquiry about locking the rotary knobs, or perhaps more appropriately: rendering the knobs inert, could be a very interesting and desirable feature for those whom may benefit from it. Strongly consider searching the ideascale site and if not found previously, submit the feature suggestion. All the best.

The Sensitivity Level parameter of any given headphone is far more indicative of what the SPL level will be at a given drive level. That's the spec you should be looking at, and compare between units. It is also possible that your Beyers are flawed.

In addition to the suggestions of@rd2rk and @cruisinon2, if you get an HX Stomp or HX Stomp XL and connect it to your FRFR, you will have the benefit of the HX Audio Interface in the device itself! Plus, you can also connect it to your laptop and run HX Edit to more easily visualize and access the many features of the HX Stomp/Stomp XL. By doing so, you will have the benefit of using the HX device's physical features, buttons, footswitches, etc., and also have the ability to use your laptop for enhance visualization, or real time access and control. Best of all HX Edit is free of charge! So use whatever method may suit you best. Hope this helps.

@rx7carlAs far as the consumer marketplace is concerned the family of Helix products is ever growing and there is no current indication of a replacement to the Helix Floor. At some point in the future, there will likely be a successor. At this time it remains the flagship! Sibling Twin of the Helix Rack & Controller. If the Helix Floor suits your needs, grab one from your local retailer. Should it fail to exceed your expectations you can always return or exchange it as most offer that ability. Just be certain to update the hardware to the latest firmware version (currently 3.71, as I recollect) using the Helix Edit software and precisely following the download, installation and update procedures as the software guides you through the process. It's essentially painless. If you're considering buying a used unit, check the condition and run the serial number by Line 6 to determine if it the one time Helix Native discount purchase has been used. Otherwise, based on the condition and price of a used unit, it could be a screaming deal or a nightmare. YMMV. Hope you like the Helix Floor. I've had one for several years and it's a blast! Keeps improving with every Firmware update. Also have a HX Stomp and it's also fantastic. Post back with what you ultimately do, to share the info with others.
