I am worried that i have a hardware failure, but after reading all the above posts, i am at least willing to try to recover the old days i used to love Helix. i have used it both studio and live many times. I love real amp overdrive, but i settle for the decent sounds from Helix, though i know they are far from realistic to the purist ear ( mine ), and yet, the public dont know and dont care, so i use it. . . . But these days, nothing sounds the same. even factory presets stink. I used to have ( made it myself ) a core tone that was clean enough to be heard every note, and yet distorted and boosted enough to drive for rock, and seperate tones for leads and effects and all that. . but now. . . the only setting that even sounds usable is Line 6 epic Amp + Cab , and i have to work off of that as my core, which was mud, until i put in Simple EQ, and managed to pull out a tone that at least works for heavy rock songs ( I do all originals ) , but little else.
This could be a corrupt unit? and if so. . .what can i DO about it?
Bren in Texas , of Tears No More band.
*** For those who may care to see what i used to be able to do with it in studio - Bandmix.com/tears-no-more and Bandmix.com/brenmultimusician everything on there , guitar and bass was through Helix.
