Then downgrade to the previous version. There is not anything that is worth upgrading to 3.8 IMO. One bass wah, and one amp... No reason to always upgrade to the latest. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In your delay block you can either sync the delay tempo to the tapped tempo, or provide milliseconds for the delay. If you use the tap tempo, it takes the tap tempo value, and multiplies it by the note value you have selected in your delay: 1/4, 1/8, etc... This setting (whether you are using tap tempo or milliseconds) cannot be changed between snapshots. Tapping in the delay is there for convenience, so you can tap in your tempo live, that's all. It sounds identically: whether you provide the millisecond value, or tap in the delay tempo/type in the tap tempo BPM. You can use a conversion chart to get the desired result: https://tuneform.com/tools/time-tempo-bpm-to-milliseconds-ms to get the desired delay time. If you absolutely need to sometimes tap in your delay, and sometimes sync it with MIDI, maybe you should have 2 delay blocks for each purpose...

My advice is to leave the cab sim intact. That way you can add delays, reverbs before/after and the sound will be consistent. I never bothered removing the cab sim and toured around the world with the Helix. Best to treat the amp on stage out as a monitor,

I cover that exact problem in my post. Restore global settings from Helix Floor backup. That’s the hack. I even link global settings in the YouTube video for people to use, as mentioned in the post. I also demo how it works on helix Lt!

I use 2 Grolsch beer bottle washers on up/down buttons and mode button to make it harder to press. And I also place a single washer on the Tap/Tuner button for symmetry. Since you have button toppers already, it would be pretty difficult to accidentally change your preset. On my Pod Go I have toppers and washers, and don't have any issues... But I have a better hack IMO: Watch my video how to disable up/down buttons. Command Center accomplishes that. The key is to enable 10-button stomp mode, then go into Command Center, and assign what each button does--in your case which snapshots it corresponds to. Command Center allows you to create a custom layout in the "stomp" mode. It can be snapshots, stomps, "next preset", etc. In this example, you recreate the snapshot view and place all your snapshots in the familiar place in the stomp view, using the Command Center. You may need to re-save the assignments for each of the buttons after clicking individual buttons--this is a new "Stacked" snapshot feature that was introduced a few versions back. It depends on your "Snapshot Reselect" global settings/General value. Basically you can customize your layout, so that if you press one button, the other buttons can change what they do based on that. End-result: you have an identical layout to your snapshot view in the stomp mode, minus the up/down buttons which don't do anything. The only thing is that on the Helix LT you cannot enable 10-button stomp mode, but you can simply restore Global Settings from a backup that was created for the Helix Floor. See link in the pinned comment in the video below to get the Global Settings, and watch the whole thing in action. With this hack combined with Grolsch washers, you are guaranteed to never accidentally change your presets live.

Here's another trick you can use: build your presets to allow for multiple inputs.

I made a preset a few months ago. Link in the description.

The rubber feet are attached with screws. So just remove the screws, take off the rubber feet and put the screws back.

You can run remote desktop on your mobile device :) while having your computer be physically connected to your Helix.

I have a video from a few years ago. You may find it useful.

If you want to tune your guitar and mute the looper at the same time--that's not possible. You can mute the looper by having a different snapshot where it's muted though. You can accomplish it in many ways, including assigning the "return" volume to snapshots. Or have a volume pedal at the end of your chain, where you can turn down your volume before tuning.

Make sure your blank (aka just guitar signal) presets are as loud as your actual presets. That’s the rule of thumb. Otherwise you get digital clipping.

You can also change the color of the ring. See my video how to do that. You can even see the name of the snapshot that you can change while saving. This is a lot easier to do in HX Edit, as people have been mentioning. I don’t tweak anything on the Helix itself, unless it’s during a sound check.

I believe it’s an issue with HX Edit. And L6 promised to release a hotfix for it. Please raise a ticket with Line 6 support about it to make sure they are aware as well.

Hi. Search the forum. All Line 6 button mechanisms are garbage. Helix is less horrendous than other products. The black dust is from the foam. Helix Floor has more foam than the LT, as a result it is more susceptible to this issue. I have a theory that with time this foam becomes more tacky and less flaky, so the problem goes away after a couple years. I cleaned tactile switches with liquid DeoxIT, and it lasted for 2.5 years. After that I had to do it again—this time I did it without taking the Helix apart (not recommended)!!. I angled the Helix so that the buttons would be perpendicular to the floor, added a generous amount of contact cleaner and let it drip down each button: about 4 applications. Then I waited for 2 hours, then pressed each button, and then vacuumed each button to get the excess contact cleaner out. I kept wiping the contact cleaner off the buttons and kept vacuuming until they were dry. It fixed the issue. Most people will say that it’s a crazy thing to do, but I did not feel like taking my LT apart again. And guess what? All buttons are as smooth as butter once again. I’m using my LT regularly since 2019 and everything works 100% Use the liquid contact cleaner because it leaves no mess. It’s nonconductive, so it cannot damage anything. At most it can attract dust if you really flood the pcb with it. I’ve fixed my Helix LT and Pod Go. Below is my video for the Pod Go. On Helix, you need to take it apart, which you have already done.
