I appreciate i'm late to this party, but I have a Firehawk that keeps cutting out on stage. I love the sounds and ease of use, but the band is getting REALLY fed up of it! If I don't get it sorted soon it's going to have to go!
I don't use an expression pedal.
When I first got the unit I downloaded a few patches from other users and tweaked them to my sound. When I started having problems with it cutting out, the store I bought it from suggested I do a factory reset, install the latest firmware, and start afresh which is what I did.
This time i didn't download any sounds from anywhere else, or use the patches i'd already created, I started from blank patches and spend a whole night locked in a studio creating every sound that I needed from scratch. The results sound awesome, way better than the first patches I had. However the unit continues to cut out. Sometimes I do a full gig (around 2 hours playing) with no problems. Sometimes I can't even get through the first song.
The store have now asked me to send it back to Line 6 but I found this thread and thought i'd add my experiences to the pile.
I bought this unit because myself and the band were sick of me using rickety old valve amps that although sounded awesome when they worked, would fail now and again, this was supposed to be an easy to set up fail-safe unit. But it's letting me down badly.
