it would be "just like a real amp". they can run your signal to a monitor for you. However, they control the volume of your monitor (which is the way it used to be, so not really a problem). If you have big knob set to control the 1/4 out, then you could control the volume of your monitor. The xlr would be at full signal going to the mains, which is what they want.

I may be wrong, but I believe the poster may be having issues between a preset and a stomp? The reason I say that is he is saying he has 8 presets. If he is in stomp mode, that would be 8 stomps(blocks, effects, etc.). Then he says he wants to 9 for one song. that may mean a 9th stomp (effect, etc.) that he wants. Since he has the LT, he can only have 8 stomps per preset.....or you maybe it is the snapshots. you can only have 8 snapshots. So to the original poster, do you really mean presets? (it's ok, I'm still calling them the wrong thing!) A preset (I call it a patch) is what you have in HXEDIT where you add amps, effects, etc to things. the presets are in banks as rd2 said. Take a look at that and see if that helps. good luck!

There may be a few ways to do that. One would be (if you don't want the wah) is to use the octiver or something like that and assign it to stomp button or you could assign it to the foot pedal. You could also assign the wah to the same footpedal so the footpedal is controlling both. The other way (now that I think about it) will not change the octive... but you could change the frequencies to be a narrow range. I know this is not what you are talking about but it might help someone else.

as you probably already know, a python script could walk through the file and replace/remove the JSON values. Would be an interesting project to create tools to batch modify patches, setlists, etc.

Hope it works for you. I think you will find that it does. Let us know!

As the other poster said, I don't think you will blow your PC. Your ears should tell you if you are clipping or not. You should be fine bouncing in the red. Jason sadites has a video where he talks about this. Basically saying bouncing in the red is ok..... Unless your hear something bad. If you only need a few db, you may try boosting some mids and lowering the bass. It may sound bad by itself, but it will cut through the band and sound good. Apologies if you have already tried changing eq.

I also was wanting to add a boost to snapshot mode. Most of my snapshots change delay and reverb settings, but because of the mode button issue, I also have a clean snapshot and a dirty snapshot. would love a boost button without having to create a "dirty boosted" snapshot. All of this is really just me whining :) ... I love the Helix/PC combo and what I can do with it is just simply amazing. It would have been great even if they never upgraded things or had "paid" upgrades! (shh, don't listen Line6) .... But the fact that we get all this and then new stuff as well..... man, could it get any better than that! Wow!

wish you could at least swap tap tempo and mode. I don't like the top row.... it's ok for somethings, but I have 10 stomps and use snapshots to change reverb and delay parameters, and turn on a stomp or two... it would be nice if the mode was on the bottom

except you cant change which footswitch is the Mode switch... Please, someone tell me I am wrong! thanks.

I have the helix floor, playing through PC212 and PC112+ stacked connected through l6link cable. I have my presets setup to use stomp mode where I have it setup like a pedal board. I also have snapshots set to change certain reverb, delay settings and to turn on some pedals (because I have already used the 10 buttons in stomp mode). So for each preset, I can get a bunch of different sounds by using the stomp mode and the snapshot mode. I need to be able to switch between stomp and snapshot mode easily. As of now, I only know of two ways to do that. 1) step on fs1 and fs7 at the same time; 2) step on fs6. Neither of these options are that easy when playing live. I would love to be able to re-assign the Mode function from fs6 to something on the bottom row, maybe even fs12. Do anyone know if this is possible. I would guess you would do this in the control center, however, I can't find exactly what i want. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

The PC212 has a setting for cutting that out. Sorry, I can't remember what it is called, but if you go to the PC and scroll through the settings options, there is something like a bass cut or low cut or something. It sounds like that is what you need. I'm sure someone will post the correct name for the setting option. Good luck.

I had the helix with DT25 (actually HD500x before that). The DT25 sounded great but was very fragile. I got the PC112+. I play with a few bands and we play out a few times a month (not so much after Covid)... style is rock, country rock, etc. I connect to the PC's using the L6 link and go to FOH from either xlr or 1/4 from the helix (not the PC). I also have it set so the big knob on the helix controls the digital volume only. That lets me turn up the PC w/o changing the FOH. I mainly use the FRFR Raw setting and a 90 cut on bass and 4.2K cut on highs. I have the volume set at zero up to 2. The PC112+ sounds great, but I wasn't happy with it in a full band situation. (of course that was user error, but more on that later). I got the PC212 and was really happy with it in the band situation. Was definitely loud enough and I loved the tones. I have since gotten smarter (? :) ) and improved my patches so now either the 112 or 212 work great depending on what I am doing. My home setup is using the PC112+ stacked on top of the PC212 and have the stereo of the PC212 set to about 115%. I love that setup for home and have used that setup for larger gigs and for some outdoor (party) gigs where we only mic the vocals. For one band (drums, acoustic, bass, guitar(me)) we use the Bose l1 for monitors (set behind us) and the bose M1 set for the fronts. I will use the PC112+ in front of me as a monitor, that sounds great and since it is very light, it is easy and fast setup. Larger gigs I use the PC212 behind me. IMO, the PC212 would be great for your home use. The stereo width (?) setting is really nice and you can really hear the separation. Some say you need two PC112+ to really get that seperation, but I'm not really sure how much better two amps are expecially when you factor in the cost. You do have to provide a good signal to the PC to get the best sounds, however, IMO playing from home is not going to make that much difference. It really depends on how loud you are playing at home. Of course you should always tweak your patches at gig playing level, but if you are playing from home, gig level is probably lower! I say that because in my experience, when I am at home I have the big knob around 12 to 1 oclock..... gig level turns that up to almost master.... and the sound is great at both levels. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give some context to my opinions.... I really love my setup! I have spent a lot of time "tweaking", but I really love doing that as well.... and to be honest, most of the tweaking is probably not necessary because the tones I start with are usually really good!

Didn't you say you sum up both 2a and 2b with an IR at the end? if so, then your question about the different amps being on either side... wouldn't they be summed and the split stereo. (bad writing, sorry!).... What I'm trying to say it that if you bring 2a and 2b back together, then both amps will come out of the left and right of your stereo.

I wonder why they want you to use an amp and not what you have... but anyway.. I had 2 DT25's and absolutely loved them.... except, for me, they were very flakey. I had both worked on several times and had to have the tubes replaced and biased. That is a pain. Also, one of my DT25's bricked when I was trying to upgrade it to v 2.0 so I could use it with the helix. I had a HD500x that I used for years before the helix. I got the PC+ 212 and I am very happy with that. I also have a PC+112 that I use for small rooms. They both sound great to me! Good Luck!

I understand the wanting to get presets to learn. However in my experience, nothing really sounded good. They were very helpful in just showing how others did things, but for me, it was way more helpful to create my own. I started by mimicking Jason sadites basic template for a great tone. Good luck, I've spent way too many hours tweaking and learning, but for me it was a blast!

I believe you could do that. I think the line level is +12db over the mic level, so you could set the global one way and adjust your patches by changing the level of the output block. That should not change your tone. Somebody please confirm the 12db, I'm not sure about that.

This may not have anything to do with it, however if I understand correctly, you are splitting the channel right after the chorus. Is the girth on the bottom Channel? If so, the mix level of the channel may be too low and you are not getting enough of the girth signal coming back when the channels merge. You could look at the merge black after the split and see what the mix levels are. You could raise the level to see if that helps.

No. All the updates are free! Thank you Line6.... enjoy your new toy.

Have not got an email. Have both my PC's registered.

I have the pc112+ and the 212+, play them stacked on top of each other, using the FRFR Raw and the helix floor, and love the sound. I guess since I don't mess with the internal speaker sims (forgive if saying that wrong), but I have not had the issues. Where did you get the survey?

I loved my dt25's, however, in my experience, they were very fragile. I had to keep replacing the tubes and had several visits to the repair shop. My last "died" when I tried to update it so I could use it with the helix. Very sad! I am very happy now with the helix floor and pc+ 112 stacked on a pc212. very happy indeed :) I guess I have to try this new thing now!!!! I have no will power :)

so these things are the replacement to the dt50 and dt25?

It really is up to you. There are a lot of people that say, no, you don't have to add the cab or IR with the powercabs, however, I use the powercabs FRFR Raw and add a cab (or multiple cabs) to my patches in the helix. I just like the way it sounds better. Another reason I do that is because I go to the FOH out of my helix. This seems to give me the same sound from the FOH and the powercabs. But like everything with helix, it is up to what you like.

I just wanted to thank Sweetwater... I sent them an email about the link and got a reply with a fresh link in less than five minutes! Thank you!

in the above post, not the pc... is that a situation where you would bypass the phaser.... then snapshots would not matter it is on or off based on when you stomped on it. (or I may not have fully understood what you are wanting)
