UPDATE: The PREVIEW sounds terrible...like not representative of what the clone actually sounds like at all. I saved the bad sounding clone and chose it as an amp block and it sounds "ok". Might be user error but the Stadium work flow having the preview compare against the amp is not good at all.

Yes. I'm not sure I follow... I opened up a brand new patch, pressed "clone", pressed "amp+cab" and let the cloning process run. When it was done, there's the option to A/B the clone against the original and the clone sounds noting like the original. At first I did, then I saw your reply and tried the cloning process again on a brand new patch with no amps or cabs. Still sounds like crap.

After watching a few of the "Helix Hype men" on YouTube, I was pretty excited to try the proxy feature to clone my 1989 Marshall JCM800... But after a couple of cracks at it, neither of the clones sounds anything like the amp at all. I'm using a brand new SM57 about a third of the way in from the outer edge of the speaker and high quality cables. The clone sounds all muffled and weird, as if there was a blanket between the speaker and the microphone. Who is having success using proxy where the output actually sounds decent? Will you share any tips and tricks? Thanks Mike

Tried deauthorizing and logging back in...still shows trial

Hey guys, Helix native says my trial has expired, but I have the full/paid version of native. How do I update Natives license info? Thanks Mike

Thanks so much guys, this all puts my mind at ease. I'm a long time Helix floor user and the support has been world class. I also have a small pedalboard with an HXstomp on it so I wasn't planning on upgrading (my wife kicks lollipop). When I opened the box with the "You have a Helix Stadium XL on order" I was pretty pumped. If all goes well I'll sell off the Helix floor and that will recoup almost half the cost (all our dough is from the same pile but still...) Thanks again

My wife bought me the Helix Stadium XL for Christmas. It's not here yet and our local store has no idea when it will arrive but I heard end of February was likely. Since we live in Canada, the unit was $3,389.99 after tax which to me is insane. I had every intention of keeping my Helix Floor until it dies or I did...but my wife is generous and loving :-) I logged in today to see if anyone knew more about delivery dates and it seems like most threads in the Stadium section are negative and stories riddled with problems. What's the general consensus out there? Are you happy with your Stadium or is it riddled with bugs? Thanks for your feedback. Mike

Hey guys, I'm looking to get way better at building Helix patches and I'm on a quite to make the most tube sounding patch I can, that sounds great in my in ears (Alclair Audio Dual XB)...Something that sounds a warm and juicy as the video below... I've bought many patches from the more well known patch providers, but they all seem to sound harsh and fizzy. Is there a good guide on best practices for crafting patches? Thanks Mike

I'm plugged into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface (with a 1/4" guitar cable) that is connected to my Macbook Pro via USB I have an instance or Reaper open and on track one, Helix Native is running as a VST. I'm monitoring through studio monitors. It sounds/feels like I'm hearing the clean tone along with the overdriven tone like when you've got the monitor input switched on...except I have it switched off. Thanks Mike

I've got a dirty patch loaded up in Helix Native in Reaper and I can hear what appears to be the clean/uneffected guitar sound coming through. I've tried turning monitoring off and on... With monitoring off, I just hear the clean tone With it on, I hear the dirty tone with the bonk bonk of the clean tone. Any idea how to get rid of the clean tone? The bonk bonk noise suck the lift out of the dirty tone :-)

So I'm trying to update my Helix to 3.61. I downloaded the update, backed up my Helix and now the "update now" button is greyed out. Am I missing a step? HX Edit appears to be up to date. Thanks Mike

Is there a way to adjust the tension on the Helix built in expression pedal? mine is very tight/stiff and tough to move smoothly.

Since updating to firmware 2.80, my Helix will randomly get stuck in snapshot mode. (in)conveniently enough it always happens right as we're taking the stage. Once stuck in snapshot mode like this, there's nothing I can do on the Helix to get it out of that mode and I'm stuck with one sound for the whole gig turning my $2000 Helix into a nearly useless box. Please tell me there's a fix. I'm happy to receive another Helix to see if it does the same thing but I know I cannot continue like this.

So a guy at our church gets a great auto volume swell sound with his DL4 I grabbed a snap shot of it and it appears to be a setting called "Auto Volume Echo" Any idea how to replicate it in the Helix? Delay time = 6 Repeats = 6.5 Tweak = 4 Tweez = 1.5 Mix = 7.8

Is there a way to change a patch built in snapshot mode to Stompbox Mode? I got the Tremonti Tone patch from here and it's got no clean sound in it. Also only has snapshot mode...or I don't know how to flip it to stompbox mode. Thanks Mike
