Aha! Thanks for informing me, guess I will have to wait for this feature :) Thanks again! /Duf

Greetings! I have an issue with my Helix Stadium XL. I use it to record into Fender Studio Pro 8 (also tried this in Bandlab). I create a audiotrack in Studio Pro 8 and set it up to use USB 7 as input, but there is no signal at all. Using USB 1/2 works just fine, but switching to 7 or 8 there is absolutely no input to the track. On the Helix I have checked the settings and USB 7 is setup for re-amping for instrument 1 (also checked my patch and instrument 1 is the input to the patch) and USB 8 is setup for mic. This should work, but there is absolutly no signal. Patch output is Matrix 1/4, XLR and Phones. As already mentioned I tried this in Bandlab as well with no luck. I used this feature frequently on my old Helix Floor with zero issues. Any tips on this issue? I Googled it, but it does not seem to be a widespread issue. Any help most appriciated! Best Regards /Dufrense

Hi I use the TC Elecronic Polytune tuner pedal. It's fantastic, I really recommend it. It connected like: Guitar >> tuner >> Helix Good luck! /Duf

Yes sure looks like it. How is the Alto? Is it a good speaker? /Duf

Hello, Just read that Headrush are launching a FRFR at Namm. It will be priced at 299 dollars which translates to around 299 Euros. If it gets good reviews I will buy one to use with my Helix because that is a really reasonable price for a FRFR.

Hello again, Revitalizing this thread :) Just got the Helix a few days ago. Its really great! Making patches are really a breeze compared to other stuff i used in the past. I also ordered a PC Midi interface and two midi cables. Efter reading up a bit I plan to use the midi stuff to wipe the channels on the DT Pre-amp to make it non-modelling. However the interface was out of stock at the dealer so I am still waiting for that. But then I realized since the Helix got MIDI ports, chances are that the Helix itself could work as a Midi interface I connected the Helix to a PC with USB. Then I connected The Helix to the DT with midi-cables. Line 6 Helix endad up as in/out Midi Ports in the PC, then I booteded up the DT editor. The software found the DT just fine from what I can tell. Is this supposed to work or do I need a stand alone mini interface? I had no success with this setup at all, no changes went through, the DT amp started acting up and switch pentode/tritod and other swiches by itself. Then I figured I could get started to just use the Helix to setup MIDI commands on some presets (as in the you tube video above). I managed to change channels from A to B. But changeing voicing etc does not appear to work as the lights arent changing (from I to IV for instance). Is there no visual feedback from the DT when changeing voicing for instance? I figure the light should change from I to IV if i make that change through midi commands. Any tips och thoughts on this? /Duf

I am also upgrading from an older setup, the 500x coupled with DT25. If I can't get the DT to couple well with the Helix (midi setup and config etc) I will sell it and buy frfr. But I really love that amp, hopefully it will work out well. My bet for NAMM is that L6 will launch new stagescource units. Here in Sweden most retailers are out of stock on the current line and that probably means that L6 and distributors are out of stock awaiting the new units. But who knows:) Edit: Thomann Europe still have a few in-stock. Stock on DT amps are also scarce, maybe they will even launch new DTs? /Duf

Yes really looking forward to NAMM. Ordered the Helix yesterday. Cant wait for it to arrive! /Duf

Haha yes agreed. Thanks for your input! Actually there were new toilets launched at CES in Las Vegas this week :) I am just trying to avoid that horribel feeling of buying something expensive with a new model coming out within 14 days. Thanks again! /Duf

Hello, I have decided to buy the Helix. But with NAMM coming up soon, should I consider waiting? If for instance Line 6 launches something better i.e Helix 2 ? Or maybe there is no chance of this happening? I don't follow the market rumors much so I have no clue what will come down from Line 6 at NAMM. Any thoughts on this? /Duf

Thanks for replying! The linked video really was helpful. Sure it will be a bit more tweaking manually but it works. Also I bet Line 6 will come up with something that will make it even easier eventually. Thanks again! /Duf

Hello, I am thinking of upgrading my Pod 500x to the Helix. I really am attracted to the Helix for several reasons. However I have read that the Helix aren't connecting to the DT amp as the HD500x is. I have read several threads on this subject, but it's still unclear to me what would be the best way to connect the Helix to the DT. I would like to have all the Helix modelling thru the amp. Is this even possible? Buying a new frfr would be to expensive as the Helix is quite pricey hardware as it is. Any tips? Best regards /Duf

Hello Yes if I detach the guitar cable from the pod its completly silent. If i detach the guitar but leaves the cable still connected to the guitar in jack it hums like crazy Duf

Hello guys, Spent the weekend trying to remedy this, I have concluded that there is something with the grounding in my house. It works as inteded of course but its seems "dirty". I concluded this by trying three different guitars, all having the same issues. I find it totally impossible that the wiring inside all three guitars would be errendous. Here is the thing: I turned off the noice supressor in the pod. So the gutars could "hum" freely. When I touch the strings, some of the hum goes away, but not completly. There is a big chunk of hum still present, and I think this hum is amplified when playing distored tones, and strings resonance interacting with eachother. The hum also seems to make the guitar sound muddier than it should, its "taking up room" in the frequecy space. Who knows, but that is my laymen conclution. Ok so now I need to fix this. Any tips? I cant rewire my whole house :) Thanks! //Duf
