That is helpful. Thanks. Wondering if maybe I could do something like the dxr 10 or stay with hs7?

So the idea is to play within showcase to uses recorded music and backing tracks and play along with those Would a powercab work for that or just studio monitors which might not bring out the true agora amp model sound.

Great idea. But I want to play my tunes I. Showcase and play along with.

I am loving the Stadium (other than the huge crash I had before 1.2) I really like the Showcase feature and something I will use a lot. I will be playing along with music and backing tracks. Not playing out much anymore. Stadium sounds really good through my HS7s but wondering if Powrcab 2x12 would really allow this process to shine. For how I want to use it, Hs7, powercab or maybe something like Yamaha Drx10?

I cannot download 1.2. I have tried everything. I get to the point where it says the update will continue on the device and then the Stadium App closes as it should and then my device just sits there frozen on the XL screen because that is the bug this update was supposed to fix. I am leaning on returning this thing. It is basically a big doorstop now.

Hi. Yes. I looked. It is just hard to get used to this format. The old Helix the Command Center would show snapshots up top and the settings for Instant and Footswitches all right there. Now, from what I see, you have to go back and forth from the Home Screen over to control center and figure things out.

Just got Stadium. Loaded my 7CM preset in it. All came over just fine and works great except one issue. I went in to change settings on an amp and change preset in the amp I access it on, and I cannot find the easy to work with set up in the Old Control Center. When I would bring up the old control center, I could see Snapshots up top and the related MIDI, PC, and CC parameters I needed. But now, I have no idea where to find them. They seem to be missing. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Well, I essentially give up. I cannot get this to work. I am even bringing a preset up that had this all built in. It is from one that you and I built a while ago and no go.

Please forgive me on this one as I stepped away from the Helix controlling my amps for a while. I am totally drawing a blank on how to go into Command Center and have a snap shot send a MIDI command to change a channel on my amp. I used to know how to do this, but now keep coming up short on getting it to work. Thanks

Cool. I will work with this today. Big help as always @rd2rk Does this mean if big knob is set to 1/4 what does the XLR get set to since it will be running to FOH. Would I have signal path outs to multi?

Hello. I need to use the Helix for a small gig this weekend. They have a house system and will be using XLR out to mains. I do not have a monitor and was thinking of using a Fishman Loudbox as a monitor. There is an Aux in on the back of the amp but it is 1/4 stereo and if I come out of 1/4 out of Helix L it is going to be a mono out to the Fishman in. Is there a way that you would suggest doing this? I was thinking taking L and R out of Helix into a left and right in connector that has a stereo tip to go in to the Fishman but not sure if this will work. Thanks.

Email survey as a owner of pc

Very interesting. Line 6 just sent out a survey about the Powercab and are asking about liked and used features as well as satisfaction. Maybe @rd2rk, you might have ruffled some feathers. But it seems ruffled feathers do not lead to a response, just a survey. Maybe they will come out with a new version? In any event, I am no longer an owner of any power cab. My Helix runs into my H&K GMs and Greenies and V30s. Happy camper! Would I get a new version? Maybe, because for me right now, ease of use, integration is important. I already know they sound good, but dependability is another issue. If they fix what is broke maybe I would consider going back again. But as of now....NO! And for those that cannot jump in to a new version, they better do some firmware updates and help out the loyal keepers of the faith.

@rd2rkThanks for all of your help. You know I will be reaching out to you again with all of this but, you helped me with a difficult decision because the PC212 is so cool and so convenient, I just do not want to go down the rabbit hole with Line6 on this. Other problems when I had the 2 PC112s they were very reluctant to do anything about this. So, I am moving in the right direction. Also found that the GMs work just fine in an FX loop rather than send/return like you and I had set up before, if the FX loop is line level. I spoke to H&K about this and while technically you would think that the send should be instrument and the returns should be line, it works just fine in a loop with line level and hits the amp just right. I will keep you posted.

Well, considering all of the potential problems with the HF driver and some other bugs in the system and Line 6 support not responding to anything really Powercab related, I am sticking with my tube amps and the Helix. That is the awesome thing about the Helix, you can run it any way you want!
