Hi Revans, Can you control the powercab with the L6 XLR cable? Do you have to have the midi cable attached? Thanks Paul.

My guess is that Line6 are going to be unveiling a new range of speakers in January at NAMM. I’m thinking possibly a new version of their DT25 that’s more compatible with the Helix and / or a new range of their StageSource. I’ve deliberately held back from buying any amps for the last 3 months to see what line6 unveil...

I've just done my first couple of gigs with the Helix too. Been recording with it for a while but this is the first time I've played live with it. The rest of the band had their usual heavy amps backline then into PA. I dropped the Helix's XLR out down to mic level and then straight to FOH and that was that - my default is also XLR full volume with the volume knob only controlling the 1/4 volume (not that I was using it). I trust the guy front of house so was sure no phantom power was coming back my way and also I could hear my guitar clearly in the monitors from FOH. Very happy with the sound and got some excellent feedback. Tweaked one of the amp blocks at sound check for more umph as a couple of patches weren't balanced - my fault. And at the end of the night... One guitar and one HelixLT in rucksack and I'm good to go. (course helped my mates move all their heavy gear too ;-)
