Do what, at what? It has what? If I'm finding the constant questions about what is or isn't in the Stadium, requests for features, formats, new versions and (updates?) inane - I'm not sure how I'll go once its released and the forums/fartbook become a cesspit of RTFM questions. A few more months to train my eyes to roll 360 degrees and my fingers to keep off the keyboard. :)

Hi - I made this ages ago, and will have changed it lots since then, but its a mulitple amp, multiple cab set-up that you can use as a starting point. When you try to change things, if it looks like you can't use an amp you want to try, delete effects on the line the amp is on until DSP is freed up. Likewise for cabs. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5531740/

I don't understand what you want to do. You might need to explain further, or others may understand.

No issues here (Australia) so likely something your end, or a resolved issue.

Yes to all of the above. The linked does the following: https://line6.com/customtone/tone/6575943/ Snap 1 Variax only for accoustic with some IRs and PC+ set to flat Snap 2 variax + mags - seperate amps for each - a speaker model for each of 2 x C+ Snap 3 Variax only - single amp out to 2 different speaker models Snap 4 different variax - single amp to 2 different speaker models again There is a lot changing with each snapshot so you need to check all the paramters for changes to find whats going on. Note I have not tested this so it might sound ship, just had a base patch I coupld adjust to demo the concept. Re pops on snaps - it has somethign to do with how the chnages in snaps are processes. From what I remember the changers occur in serial (1 at a time) not parellel (all at once) and very quickly so you can sometimes hear an amp ramping up gain or other weird noises as popping and other atifcacts. I've fixed it in the past by recreating the changes in a snapshot in a different order - they are stored as they are changed and processed the same. Alternatively using gain as the control to let sound through or not, or turning amps etc on and off rather than changing volumes.

I'm a variax user and would never be brave enough to dissect one but I think you'll find the whole box and dice too integrated to just have a knob. As far as I can see you'd need: a PCB board with all the processing a network type connection wired for the variax and to carry power the knob(s) you want And even then I have no idea if the board etc would work without a whole range of other inputs it expects. So short answer is I think its unfeasible. If you want a definitive answer join the "Line 6® HELIX® Family User Group OFFICIAL and ORIGINAL" group on facebook and shout out to "Partev Sarkissian" he knows more about this stuff than anyone (tech for L6). On the use of the expression pedal - have you tried playing with the pedal's paramters to refine its outputs so you get the outcome you want?

Late to the party, but any reason you wouldn't run FoH direct from the out on the Headrush? I can't tell from the manual, but would expect it is a straight passthrough (ie no EQ or gain), and would appear to let you use 1/4 inch to the Headrush and balanced out.

Ooh haven't heard of or experienced this and I use the Helix to model and tuning swap my variax all the time and often mid song. Is it only caused/triggered where alt-tunings have been created by workbench, or potentially anything other than the settign being standard? I may have been lucky so far, but will now check its on standard before gigging. Also guessing it won't ever be fixed now the variax is discontinued.

Relative to a lot of the people on this forum - the Helix has been around a long time. And the questions you've asked have been answered (multiple times) in this and other forums (try the search funtion). There's a LOT of content on YouTube, Facebook etc that can help you will have to look for older material as the newer stuff is generally "whats this new feature". Suggest Jason Sadites as a great starting point. And, whilst none of us like to do it, read the manual - its a great resource. https://www.youtube.com/@JasonSadites https://line6.com/support/manuals/ There is no way to make the backing track sound good through an amp (through the LT or any other source) - it will always sound like its running through a guitar amp - some EQ will help a bit. You're better off having some form of seperate monitoring for the backing track - PA speaker(s), monitors, anything really.

If HX Edit is refusing to see the Helix try Helix Line 6 Central and/or Line 6 Updater. The latest update failed for me (first in a very very long time) and HX Edit could not see the Helix. Line 6 Updater worked fine - noting no ability to create a back-up and restore presets.

There's some good discussion here about what the big knob does and doesn't do. As I run straight to FoH I bypass it, but my read of the thread suggests no discernable sonic impact with what you're doing.

Checks date - nope April 1 still some time away. Off to check if my printer is an audio interface - it too has a USB port, as its networked I'm expecting it will also support AoE.

No mention of a download but heres a walk through

Pardon? pg 68 rev 3.0 of the manual USB Audio Helix functions as a USB 2.0, multiple-input/output, 24-bit - 96kHz, low-latency audio interface for Windows and Mac computers, as well as for iPad or iPhone mobile devices (with optional Apple Camera Connection Kit adapter), and is compatible with all major DAW software

Maybe try one of the VoiceMeeter apps https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/ I've managed to use them to virtual mix multiple devices on Windows and provide a low latency monitor for hardware that summed stereo inputs to mono when in direct monitor mode. It may not be what you want/need but they're donation-ware so little risk.
