I've been trying to figure out why my HX Effects was doing this for a long time. Thanks for posting!

Old post but replying to this because I've seen this question quite a bit. The Hot Rod Deluxe does not use a standard contact closure footswitch. Sadly, Fender uses a series of diodes and voltages instead, making it nearly impossible to replicate full footswitch function from loop switchers or any other external device.

Hi I have the same frustration about this. I found out there is a posting in the Line6 Ideascale for this. You can comment and upvote it there. Line6 staff rarely view this forum.

Well a second helping of RTFM did the trick mods please feel free to delete. Thanks!

I've noticed when trying to use the FS with the Poly Wham effect the pitch movement is really slow, not like on the Digitech Ricochet. Is this normal or is there something I'm missing? I have the speed as fast as it will go. Thanks

I just got the 100W a few days ago and all I can say is my DSL40 and Katana are going up on Craigslist. I know the whole effects situation is a little weird but pair it with an HX Effects and boom. Full MIDI functions and great effects all in one. I'm really happy with it. Best modeling amp I've every played through.

Did they change the design? I had one years ago and did that and the one I just got this week has 6 feet and when I pull the screws the bottom loosens :(

So then basically there's no way to use 2 external amps and use their preamp section and have a single delay set in stereo ping pong between the 2 like you would with a regular pedalboard? I can achieve that but it bypasses my amps preamp which defeats the purpose.

Great catch!! I did the restore and it still didn't work and I was getting frustrated. For whatever reason the Powercab was no longer set to Preset. THANK YOU!!!!!

I performed a full reset and before I even bothered to restore I built a new patch and PC+ does not respond over L6 Link. Turned PC+ off and on, checked cabling yada yada. I guess the next step is to open a ticket with L6. Thanks all

No I just did a straight inline upgrade. My patches all have the correct PC+ speakers still in the presets but even manually within a patch I can't get it to change speaker. I'll try a reset. I have a backup from before. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Folks, I updated my LT to 3.10 this morning and now it seems L6 Link is no longer working to change speaker models. I checked for a PC+ update and I didn't one. I used L6 updater to perform the upgrade and that went swimmingly. Just curious if anyone else has run across this or if I did something wrong. Thank you!!

My PC+ just came today and had the same issue. Updated the cab to 2.x and now I'm able to control from my LT with each preset with an AES/EBU cable. Keep in mind it won't change the display on the PC+ but the color ring will change.

I know I'm late to this party, but I've been using the Power Amp In on my Katana 100 with my Helix LT and so far I like it. To be fair this is tiding me over until the Human Malware crisis is over and the band can start playing again. I hope to have a Powercab+ by then but still plan on using the Katana at home as possibly the other speaker for stereo fun. To OP - yes that is how I do it as well. Instrument cable from the LT mono out to the power amp in on the KTN, and use amp with no cab in my modeler. I've found that using preamp only (at least in Helix) can have unpredictable results depending on the model. Volumes are all over the place and reverb and delays respond differently. I just use the full amp but no cab and I've been able to eek out some really good tone to my ears. I'm hopeful that compared to the PC+ with speaker modeling the KTN will pale, but right now it sounds pretty darn good!

It certainly has some interesting features. I have several Neural amp sims and they are great but hardware is a different game altogether. I just bought an LT today so I'm not going to be in the market for a while. If they are still in hardware after a couple of years and they have established a positive reputation for updates by then, I'm sure I'd give it a serious look.
