You have to export your set lists or presets to your computer. Stadium does backup differently than the original Helix does.

USB 3.0 max recommend distance is 3m, so your 1.8m cable is fine. However the standard for USB 24 bit audio is USB 2.0.

People have been mixing high gain and clean amps for years before Stadium. What's your preset look like?

Found some detailed info in a post from Eric Klein on July 31. Looks like the issue is with getting the firmware to work with Variax and Powercab. https://thegearforum.com/threads/digital-igloo-eric-klein-ygg.198/page-89#post-502365

I'm sure you're frustrated but Variax was discontinued almost three years ago. It's beyond end of life, unfortunately. I'm sure if the D10 was ready for the initial features it would have shipped by now.

Youtube is the place to go. So many good Helix tutorials there. If you get stuck the best place for quick and really really good help is the Helix group on FB. It's one of the reasons I still use FB.

Maybe a Behringer MicroHD HD400 2-channel Hum Destroyer will help? I have one for my monitors. It's only $21 USD worth having just in case. I also have the same Laney FRFR and going to switch from XLR to 1/4" this weekend when I rewire everything. I'll let you know if I see any hum and if my Behringer works.

Do you have a desktop pc?

The factory presets for bass have names that start with BAS: but I believe there are artist presets that have different names related to the artist who created or inspired the preset so those require a bit more digging.

I did some reading about this pedal and a lot of people are saying it's very similar to the Timmy. Have you tried that with by our Helix?

What exactly do you mean by toggle off your amp? What you want to do is to disable the send/return block(s) if you're going to bypass your amp's preamp so the output of your LT going directly into the return of your amp if you're not doing this already. You can leave the 4 cables connected and do this either in a separate preset or in snapshots in a single preset. I have a picture here of a really simple preset I was working on. In one snapshot I have the Helix amp block enabled while the send and return blocks are disabled. In another snapshot I disable the amp block and enable the send/returns so the real amp is the pre and the power amp of the preset. Does this help?

There were 11 bug fixes and a bunch of updates to HX One. There's so many models in Helix as is that I'm amazed people still want more and more. Even with all the amps, pedals, cabinets, microphones, etc. out there how many truly different tones are there actually?

You can get good USB-A to B cables on Amazon. I've had a 15ft braided USB cable for a few years I use at home and never had a problem with it. It wasn't expensive at all. Otherwise yes, juat about any USB A-B cable will work. You also may need to use the Line 6 Updater program instead of updating the HX Edit, depending on what version you're currently running.

Wrap the cable once around the cylinder the long ways then wrap the cylinder with electrical tape. The wire will stop moving, you will lose only a few inches of length of the cable.

Try Full Compass? I needed replacement feet for my Powercab, opened a support ticket Line 6 gave me the part number and told me I could get it from Full Compass. Mine was a special order item, really inexpensive, three to four week lead time and it shipped in under two weeks.
