The Bass Octaver in the legacy pitch/synth category is usually my go to for guitar > bass sounds. The bowed bass seems trickier to replicate. Maybe try the autoswell effect with the bass octaver, though this may not work for faster playing. You can also take off the attack with the volume pedal for an imitation bowed sound.

It looks like the preset names correctly match up with Spider V. I'm not fully clear on your issue, it seems you are having trouble saving?

When I ran the both the PC112+ and L2t in flat mode it sounded pretty good. I also used PowerCab as my dry amp, and L2t for all my reverb, delay etc and that sounded great. However, I don't think I'd bother to do this live. Stereo effects/rigs don't always translate to the stage, and the L2t or PC112+ alone is enough volume for me. If I need more volume I just go to the PA. If you aren't set on using L6 Link you could use other powered speakers with the L3t using standard XLR connections.

You can link the Power Cab 112+ with an L3t via L6 link. I did this once with my Helix, PC112+, and L2t to check out sounds in stereo and experiment with a wet/dry rig.

First try performing a factory reset. (Press and hold the home button, then scroll until you find Factory Reset, and select). If that doesn't solve your issue I recommend opening a ticket with customer support. https://line6.com/support/tickets/

Have you checked out the new MKii firmware?

The drum tracks and metronome are meant as practice tools, not necessarily for performance. The tempo on the metronome can be adjusted, but unfortunately not on the drum tracks.

The "Amp" models have both the preamp and power section. The "preamp" models are just preamps, so using a preamp into an amp model could be redundant and color your tone in undesired ways than if you are looking for a pure amp tone. That being said, some users do use a "preamp" model as an overdrive/distortion going into an amp model. Cabinet IRs are used in place of Helix cabs, so when using an IR you'll have an "Amp" block and an "IR" block. If you are running your external effects directly into Stomp or in front of your amp models you don't need to go the 4 cable method route.

Presets are compatible across Spider V amps. The headphone jack can be configured as a line out on Spider V 60. Make sure your firmware is up to date. Press and hold the "home" button. Scroll until you see the option "Phones Mode", you can then toggle between Phones and Line by pressing the scroll knob.

There isn't an option in Spider V to change the tuner to favor sharps or flats, or show enharmonic notes.

You could always go from Ipad headphone output into the aux in on the back of Spider V. Going through the aux in won't apply any modeling.

I recommend trying to reinstall the firmware using a smart device or computer connected to the amp via USB. More info on updating can be found in the link below. If you experience a failed update or your amp locks up during boot up, you can hold down the Amp and FX buttons to enter Update Mode. Once it's in Update Mode, attempt the update procedure again. If that fails, please contact support!

On the back of Spider V between the USB A and B inputs there is a switch to select which input you are using. If that does not solve your issue I recommend opening a support ticket. https://line6.com/support/tickets/

As Kilrahi pointed out there are a few ways to engage a lead tone. Are you using an FBV3 or any floorboard controller with Spider V? Engaging an overdrive/distortion/boost effect is a good start. Switching between presets is another option. Some banks have presets labeled Clean, Rhythm, Lead, etc.

I'm not sure if your question is in reference to presets or amps models. There are good deal of solo/lead presets in Spider, look for the word "lead" or "solo" in a preset. There is also the "1993 Solo 100 Head" under the High Gain amp category.

PODHD500x and Spider V don't have any preset or control compatibility.

Sometimes for a quick recording I've used Spider V as an interface and then into Helix Native, worked great!

The Firehawk FX has both XLR and 1/4" out. You could send XLR to the PA and 1/4" to your amp.

No, the FBV 3 is only used for control.

Yes, you can change the wah on the amp itself itself. Press the "EDIT" button, then scroll until you find the wah type. Press and turn the rotary select knob to select a different wah.

You can change the wah type on your Spider V 240. Press the edit button then scroll until you reach your wah pedal. Push and turn the rotary select knob to select a different wah.

Check out customtone.com , there are lots of user submitted tones to search from and download. Tone templates are also useful as a guide to recreating an artist's rig. https://helixhelp.com/ has a list of what each Helix model is based on, you may also find this useful when building your own presets.
