  1. If you have an Wall pluggable USB Power block, or a rechargeable USB Power brick, you can use a MyVolts Ripcord made for the HX Stomp. The Ripcord is a durable, inexpensive (about $25) USB to 9V 2.5mm right angle Center Positive adapter cable. It works flawlessly with the HX Stomp. Just be sure you use it with a at least a 5V 3Amp or higher USB capable source. I have two and have been using them for a few years without problem. They are available via Amazon (when not out of stock) or from the actual OEM, as well as others. Google for it.
  2. File > Import Setlist File > Export Setlist If you're referring to using HX Edit with an HX Stomp, the HX Stomp only loads one entire Setlist. I believe the same is the case with the Stomp XL.
  3. The Mixer Block is automatically created when a Split Block is placed in the Signal Path. The Mixer Block provides a means of merging (or mixing) the Split Signal Path back into the Primary Signal Path if needed. AFAIK, there is no way to remove the Mixer Block while a Spilt Block remains.
  4. I find the existing block representations presented in the Signal Chain portions of the HX Edit and HX Native displays sufficient (primarily because this method is compact). Nonetheless, for the larger predominant editor portion HX Edit and Helix Native's displays (i.e. the lower right of the screen), I would vastly prefer a skeuomorphic actual representation of the selected component's adjustment parameters. Currently, I use the graphic display of the block types rather than the list display. This could be significantly improved if the selected item were displayed as 3x larger at the top of that graphic area occupying the full width of the area. Line6 has often asserted that allocating programming resources to accomplish a skeuomorphic display is viewed as an unnecessary allocation of programming resources otherwise better used to evolve, optimize and otherwise improve the Helix and HX Family firmware. As the world has now reached 2024, perhaps the day graphics become more widely embraced will be sooner.
  5. V1.4 Download is now live on Sweetwater! Use your Download Code Link. Happy Holidays!! Thanks, Craig.
  6. Great to know that v1.4's already to Sweetwater! I just checked, and the download/upgrade link is still resolving to v1.3. Looking forward to v1.4 in the next few days.... Happy Holidays!!
  7. @heiltim, regarding your DSP questions, use Helix Native with preferences configured for the Helix Floor and you'll be able to explore any block selection configurations you may desire. Use your HX Stomp as the audio interface so the audio you hear through Helix Native (set for Helix Floor Configuration) will be identical to that of the Helix Floor. If you can get the FX Blocks to your satisfaction in Helix Native, you'll be able to use the same Signal Chain of Blocks on the Helix Floor. As for your other signal I/O issues, you'll only know with certainty once you've got access to a Helix Floor to give it a run. If you buy from a vendor with a return policy, you'll have a safety net of knowing you can return it if it doesn't meet your needs. Happy Holidays!
  8. The first step is to download and install HX Edit from Line 6's website. You will need to log into your account to do so. The installation of HX Edit will install all the necessary software to your computer. After you have done so, connect your HX Stomp XL to your computer and launch HX Edit. If still not recognized, check to be sure that the USB cable supplied with your HX Stomp XL is not faulty. You can try another USB cable if you have one on hand. BTW, did you buy the HX Stomp XL new or used? If new and still no good, swap it for another unit from your vendor. If you bought it used, you may want to get back in touch with the seller to see what you can work out. 'm a PC guy so I can't advise you about your Mac. Nonetheless, from the Downloads page on Line 6's website, you will need to select HX Edit from the Software Dropdown list, and your version of Mac OS from the OS Dropdown.
  9. @Koelink76 You didn't have to wait too long ;) 3.70 is out this morning.
  10. @kditchburnIt is very unlikely that your Helix is bricked. Once you have confirmed your Win 11 laptop is back up and running properly, if you have any custom Presets, be sure you back them up using Win File Mgr. Next, Uninstall any and all of your Helix factory software and drivers. Once all the factory Helix Software is off of your laptop, log in to your Line 6 Account and download a clean new copy of Helix Native. The latest version is 3.62. When the download completes, launch it and allow it to install onto your laptop. Your Helix need not be connected to your Laptop for HX Edit to install to your laptop. This install will also install the latest version of Line 6 Updater (which you may or may not need to use in the next few steps), and all related drivers, etc. When HX Edit 3.62 and it's related content has installed to your laptop, exit HX Edit. With your Helix powered off and not connected to your laptop, browse over to HelixHelp.com to view the Reset Options for Safe Boot Mode. The direct URL is: https://helixhelp.com/tips-and-guides/universal/reset-options. Power off your Helix and then power it up in Safe Boot Mode by holding the 6 and 12 Footswitches. This should get your device to Safe Mode. Then power off your Helix. Connect it to your laptop, and then again power on your Helix to Safe Boot Mode by holding the 6 and 12 Footswitches. Then Launch HX Edit and see if HX Edit recognizes the device. If so, allow it to update the device and follow all the instructions precisely! If HX Edit fails to recognize your device, close HX Edit, and Launch Line 6 Updater. You can do this with you device still powered on and connected to your laptop. If Line 6 Updater fails to see your device. Power it off and then power it on again to Safe Boot Mode. Once Line 6 Updater recognizes your device, you will be able to manually select the latest firmware for your device from your online Line 6 Account. Be aware that the latest firmware version for your device will be 3.60 -- not be 3.62! Hope this gets you back up and running.
  11. Actually, the latest version available is Version 1.3. Use your Sweetwater download URL and it will provide access to the latest version. Then take the PDF to your local business supply or similar store for them to print a full hardcopy, should you want that.
  12. @dphoba2 Nothing to worry about! So long as you're not holding your new Helix while undergoing an MRI, or otherwise expose it to a Nuclear Electro Magnetic Pulse (aka an EMP) it will be fine. Far more damage can result from ordinary household events such as a s spilled Cola or Beer spill, etc. I do not work for nor represent Line6. Also, if you have not seen it, find the Line6 torture test video they posted on YouTube years ago when they were dropping and kicking the Helix Foor unit. It very clearly demonstrates how rugged the Helix Floor is. The video may also still be available on Line6's website. It's comforting to watch what they put the unit through and it still works great. After posting the message above, the following arrived amongst my emails this morning, and I thought you may find it of interest: Space.com is reporting heightened Solar Flare activities of high energy Class X intensity are disrupting Radio Transmissions, with more to come. "A powerful solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America on Aug. 7 and prompted space weather forecasters to issue warnings because of energetic particles hitting Earth. It was the second X-flare in less than three days — and we should brace for more such activity."
  13. @jbrink09 Contrary to the reluctancy expressed in the replies above, my recommendation is that you absolutely upgrade to the latest firmware!! There have been massive improvements, feature additions, and more. Be sure that you do a backup of any Custom Settings, Presets, etc. before you proceed! This will allow you to Restore anything which you have Backed Up, after you install the latest firmware. When you do any Restore (of your previously backed up content), it will processed and converted to be compliant with the new features. If you want to know the specifics of what has been added, improved, etc. Read the Release Notes which are available at HelixHelp.com or on the Line6 downloads page for each software release. The format is easier on HelixHelp.com. The upgrade process is very straightforward -- if you follow the instructions precisely!! And, no you do not need to install the updates in order, one by one! Simply install the latest update! Know that HX Edit is the program to first install! This will handle everything! However, you must read and follow the instructions precisely!! Hope this helps! If you have questions, please ask! There are many users here to help.
  14. The Min/Mid/Max Tone Control Curve Charts are exceptional! So are your insightful comments as to each Distortion's suitability. More of your "deep dive" efforts would certainly be welcome!
