For me personally, the factory presets are mostly just wasted space. I do like to browse them for inspiration but almost never use them as they are. I almost ALWAYS tweak them at least a little and then have to take up another user slot. So it just seems like precious memory that I'd like to be able to use. On the original Helix, I had the Factory Presets saved on my PC so that I could always access them again if I wanted to but then used all the setlist/preset space for my own sounds. So maybe an option to unlock the Factory Presets and then if others want to keep them protected they can also keep them locked.

Also possibly of note, before all this I made sure and uninstalled the Variax Interface through Device Manager.

SOLVED! Wow what a bunch of hoops I had to jump through. 1. I had to "manage bitlocker" in windows settings to "suspend bitlocker" on my drive. 2. windows update>Advanced options>recovery>advanced startup and clicked "Restart" there. 3. On the startup screen "Troubleshoot>Advanced options> Startup settings" then restart again. 4. Option 7 on the startup screen "Disable driver signature enforcement" Then I logged in as normal, reinstalled the Variax USB Interface drivers and Workbench recognized my Variax.

When I click on it in Device Manager it says "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" in case that helps.

I just noticed the Variax USB Interface has a "!" in the Device Manager! I uninstalled it and then reinstalled the Variax USB Interface Drivers from the Line 6 Downloads section, but it still shows with a "!". So that's likely the issue though I'm not sure what else to do to solve it.

I don't. I was just seeing if central would recognize the Variax. New twist, all works fine on my laptop, so it's something specific to my desktop (both Windows 11). So far my support ticket is going nowhere sadly. Last response (before the update about my laptop) was that it must be my guitar and to take it to a service center. I have two Variaxes and both behave exactly the same.

Already did. We got the Central issue resolved but not the Workbench issue yet.

I tried that. I log in to central, it says my computer is not authorized, so I click "Authorize" and it says "syncing licenses" up top and "Authorizing computer" underneath. The "syncing licenses" goes away but the "Authorizing computer" never goes away and it just continues to say "no license data available." If I go back to the home screen it still shows my computer as "not authorized."

I just had this problem yesterday. First time trying to use workbench in a long time and nothing I did would make it be seen by central or workbench HD. I only have my Stadium now and have sold my old Helix Floor so the USB Variax interface is my only interface. What a bummer. I opened a ticket with Line 6 but I don't have high hopes. I wondered if it's all just been abandoned now since it's discontinued.

I hadn't tried to use workbench in quite a long time. I installed it on my latest PC today and cannot get it to work at all. The Variax interface is green on both sides so it is seeing my Variaxes (both on the last firmware) but workbench HD doesn't see anything. Line 6 Monkey won't log in (and doesn't give the Variax as a device option) and just says it can't connect. Line 6 license manager also says it can't connect. Line 6 Central says this machine isn't authorized, and I click "Authorize" it spins for a second and says it is syncing licenses and then nothing happens. It still say this machine is not authorized. Any ideas? Both my JTV-69 and my Standard get the same results. I've also restarted my machine after installation of the programs.

When I was browsing the release notes, it seemed as if when you clone it, you are cloning it as a snapshot of wherever the setting are at that time, is that correct? Or is there some way to clone it where you will have full range of the controls like "Gain, tone" etc.? Or is it just "Pedal cloned with gain at 5, tone at 5" for example?

This isn't just with ribbon mic and it's only on certain amps. And it's a noticeable difference. Support was going to forward my ticket on to QA.

In my case is was straight on.

Tweaking a new preset and I noticed that the further away you place the mic the louder it gets. 1" is WAY quieter than 12". IS this a bug or intended behavior for some reason? EDIT: May only be with the US Luxe Black model and cab!

That means you are not logged in to your Line 6 account on the Stadium
