Problem with helix and chip based tech is, it’s not a valve or a pickup or a duff switch, all things that can be rectified with spares or a soldering iron. When the world you make sounds from starts being a lollipop it’s a worry. I’ve had mine on soak all week though and it’s playing ball. So I’m still good with it and I love it dearly, I’m not ready to give up just yet! I do miss the analogue world though I can’t lie, used to have a Cornford RK 100 and revalved and biased more times than I can remember, same for the victory amp I used to have. Don’t miss lugging it around though! I actually (as soon as it came out) bought the victory V30 preamp pedal, I actually prefer the helix Friedman amp instead. anyone wanna buy a V30?? :)

Cheers Dave, hopefully it’ll be fine, I love the helix and powercabs, be a shame if I have to launch it out the window.

Hey, following the advice on here, I backed up, factory reset and then reloaded, seems totally fine now. I’ve also since deleted all my old dead presets so I’ve only got a few on there to load incase that was anything to do with it. I’ve got a couple of shows this weekend, so if it does let me down I’ll be posting my findings on here and getting rid of it! I’m like you, if I think it’ll let me down again, that’s the end of it, it’s gone! cheers. Matt.

Hi Codamedia, Is it not updating the signal flow view? - correct you tap a foot switch and nothing visible happens. The sounds change as expected but that’s it. Are the snapshot "scribbles" and "footswitches" not following the actual change? - correct, they just stay put. Is it just not returning to the view you are expecting? So when I select the preset, it stays on the last saved snapshot and doesn’t visibly change. I think you’re right about attempting the backup and restore, that was my last resort. I was on a show last night and after multiple reboots, and rebooting powercabs incase that was the issue, still wouldn’t go away. thanks for the reply. matt.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums so not sure if this topic has been raised or not. Been using Helix floor regularly live for the past few years and I've done every update. I recently created a new preset for a theatre show with some heavy usage on the DSP, using 2 powercab 212's on stage too, Basically the problem is, when switching snapshots, the sounds change as expected but the display and footswitches don't. If I go into stomp mode I can see foot switches change and efffects come on and off etc. I've also got other presets I've made for other things and they work fine. I can only assume as this is the most heavily laden preset I've made I'm using too much DSP, I'm changing powercab speakers via snapshots (which I've never done before so suspect this is the problem) and I've got 2 amps, 2 IR's going to a separate chain to FOH, lots of fx pre and post that I switch in and out. Anyone come across this? Or have a fix? Thx in advance. Matt.
