Alright… worked like this: Unplug the HX stomp. Under „Library/Extensions/": Delete „L6Helix.kext“ Restart Install the driver (Line 6 Helix Driver2 Version 1.5.0) Restart Go to Privacy-Security Setting. There should be a button and some thing with Line6. Unlock, hit the button and follow the instructions: Restart xD Plugin the Stomp into another USB port on your Mac. Boom. Sample-Rate-Selection is available in Audio-MIDI-Setup Maybe I did too many restarts... but it works. Here's where to expect the button in the privacy settings. Cheers

Hello hello... Could somebody please help? I've got: MacBook Pro (15 Inch, 2019) 2,4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 Big Sur Version 11.6.3 I've downloaded and installed: Line 6 Helix Driver2 Version 1.5.0 HX Stomp Firmware 3.15 In the Audio-MIDI-Setup I can't change the sample rate. I assume mac is ignoring the new drivers for some reason and uses the "Mac class compliant driver" or so...? But no idea how to fix it... Any ideas? Big thanks in advance.

Alright! I also didn’t really think the Y-Split would help. But. It definitley did . The Send-Output was noticeably higher and worked much better with the GPA-100. No idea why... xD Cranking up the Send level also helped. And also a gain block before the Send did useful things. If I'd start from scratch I'd definitley would go higher with the Channel Volumes of the Amp-Block. Can't tell yet if the GPA is in general enough for a 212 Orange PPC with 16Ohm. But with this preset I get just enough overall power for rehearsals. Cheers! Bob PS: @rd2rk ...once again thanks for your help. :)

First of all. Thanks for diggin in that deep. That helps me a lot identify and understand some things. :) SS1 is basically the crucial Snapshot which needs to compete with the rest. Heavy & gritty. At least with my main guitar. SS2 is weaker on purpose. SS3 Tried to mimmik a single-coil clean sound. I did the cut because else it was way too boomy and bassy compared to the other Snapshots. To avoid confusion: Running all these Snapshot through the Output with the IR loaded to the FOH sounds definitley fine to me. No issues at all. It's all about getting the personal monitor sound loud enough that goes via the GPA. Jep... this could really be the main issue. With the Quilter Interblock 45 I can go much louder. Allthough it has less "power". But the GPA just sounds a loooooot better. But when we (me and another Stomp owener) tried another HX-Amp (Benzina Lead I think it was). The Benzina worked pretty well and was deifnitley louder than the Cali Rectifire. While doing this. We also found out that cranking up the channel volume had most impact. (Sorry - in my inital post I said "master". But I remember now it was the Channel Volume) Good point. ...hmm.... though.. I guess that raising the IR Level won't affect the SEND. I should rather try the other way. Lowering the IR-Levels and crank up the channel volume instead. This way the Send should get better levels to work better with the GPA-100 and its design. Nevertheless.... I guess here are enough good starting points to attack this tonite. Much appreciated! :)

One more idea I had in mind was to cerate a full Y-Split before the IR block(or even the High/Low Shelf block ). And maybe than add a Gain Block on the B path which goes to the send.

Oh! Awesome! Thank you soooo much. :) The preset should be hopefully attached now. No IR included. But for the sake of completness I have at least an old screenshot of the IR Block settings. (Just in case it matters.) Thank you! :) DS Main.hlx

Hello everybody, I’ve got some weird level-issues in my setup and have no idea where I fail. I'd be absoultly grateful for some advise :) Some time ago I prepared the „perfect“ sounding preset for me. It has 3 snapshots. Boom! OUTPUT L should go directly to the FOH (Line-Level) SEND L should go into the GPA-100 and into my 16 Ohm Orange Cab for personal monitoring. (Btw. It's the Harley Benton GPA-100. Similar to a SD Power Stage 170... just in "cheap".) This is the how the preset is built: EQ Parametric EQ Acoustic Sim DIST Scream 808 AMP Cali Rectifire EQ High/Low Shelf Send L Block (-> goes to GPA-100) IR-Block Output L (-> goes to FOH) Output L and Send L are set to LINE-LEVEL. GPA-100 expects LINE-LEVEL Input. Outputs for cab: 100 W @ 8 Ω 190 W @ 4 Ω No Idea what it does at 16 Ω but should be more than enough. HX-Stomp Send -> Instrument-Cable -> GPA-100 Input. GPA-100 Output -> Loudspeaker Cable -> Orange Cab 16 Ohm. All cables work. Double checked. The problem: The GPA-100 is too quiet to compete with the drums. But it should actually have enough headroom to be cranked up as f***…. The Volume-Knob of the GPA-100 stops amplifying the signal at middle position. There’s basically almost no difference between middle position and maximum position. I tried to crank up Send-Block to the max without success. I placed a Gain-Block before the Send-Block and went +20dB or so… no success. GPA-100 just doesn’t care… it just starts to indicate that the signal is too hot. Than I created a completely new preset which has only a Benzina Lead Amp block in it and a send block. Cranked up the master of the amp block. And boom. This works. Why? No idea... At least I have a huge amount of headroom on the GPA. That means: The GPA should definitely have the power to amplify my sound and compete with the drums. Since it works with the new preset. It also means: Something must be limiting the output level of the SEND signal. Even if I remove the IR-Block and use the Output L to go to the GPA, it just doesn’t provide the power. The question would be: What might be causing the low output on the Send L Block. I can’t find the problem inside my „perfect“ preset. (While writing this I’m thinking if maybe it’s the High/Low Shelf EQ in-between the the Amp and the Send. But won’t be able to test this in the next 24h) Nevertheless… Any other ideas? Thanks in advance. :)

Hey hey... In case you’d like to use and midi-control your real amp simultaneously with the HX stomp… Without audio dropouts! This seems to be finally possible with the new 3.0 update and firmware. Yay! I was actually about to sell my Stomp because that was not possible but pretty crucial to me. Thanks to Line 6 for that. Before 3.0 If I remeber right. It was only possible to midi-switch your amp's channels, when switching presets. But it was not impossible to do so when switching snapshots. Why this useful? Switching between presets can take a serious while. So you’ll get a noticeable audio dropout. Which - of course - sucks. Switching snapshots comes usually without these dropouts. Which is - of course - awesome! :D So… how to set up the HX Stomp to make this work? Here’s at least one possible way: Let’s assume you have 3 Snapshots: Footswitch 1 -> Snapshot 1 (should switch your amp to channel 1) Footswitch 2 -> Snapshot 2 (should switch your amp to channel 2) Footswitch 3 -> Snapshot 3 (should switch your amp to channel 1) Select your desired preset and switch to the Snapshot-View. Hit Page L + R to open up the menu. Select the „Command Center“. (Or in HX Edit: Window -> Command Center) Select the first „Instant 1“ Flash-Icon. Now you can specify what MIDI command should be send out when this snapshot is called. (Note: If your amp can't be controlled via MIDI, you could use something like the Nobels MS-4. That's at least what I do. At Line 6 Support: Is there meanhwile a way to directly switch relay-based amps when switching snapshots?) I stick to my setup as example: I need BankPC commands to switch the amp. PG Value 0 = Amp Channel 1 PG Value 0 = Amp Channel 2 Hit the FS 1, so it’s lit up. Select BankPC Navigate to the right. Set the Program Value to 0. To continue you don’t need to select another „Instant“. Just stick to „Instant 1“ Hit FS 2, so it’s lit up. BankPC Program 1 Hit FS 3, so it’s lit up. BankPC Program 0 Now, save you’re preset and you’re ready to go. Since it was a little confusing to me: You can add all three settings to only one „Instant 1“. Just jump in between the snapshots and just adjust the Program Value. And it’s preset-specific. (Maybe there’s a global way - but haven’t checked it yet)
