  1. The rubber feet are attached with screws. So just remove the screws, take off the rubber feet and put the screws back.
  2. You can run remote desktop on your mobile device :) while having your computer be physically connected to your Helix.
  3. I have a video from a few years ago. You may find it useful.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I can attest to that. This particular FRFR has a hole for the stand to get it off the ground. That's how it was designed to be used. Either put it on a stand, or even on top of something else, like a chair, or a transport case for an amp, and it will make a ton of difference.
  10. Do you have HX Edit running and is your Helix connected with a cable to the computer?
  11. If you haven't done the factory reset followed by restoring form your backup, you should do that.
  12. You mean the output Left / Right? Electric will come out of the left side, and acoustic on the right side? In that case, go to the last block in your chain, the output block. There you can specify the output gain and stereo panning. In HX Edit, click on that last block in your chain--it's always in every one of your presets, it's mandatory. Set the stereo panning to 100% left or 100% right. You're done.
  13. You can create your own wah by taking a 10-band EQ, and assigning various frequencies to the expression pedal, same thing.

    These videos are so comically predictable. Washy guitar noodling garbage full of delay and reverb This video is brought to you by TrueFire Washy guitar noodling garbage full of delay and reverb {British accent} explaining why the Helix is dead Washy guitar noodling garbage full of delay and reverb {British accent} explaining why the Helix is the greatest piece of equipment ever created ... etc.
  15. I'm not the dumbest person, but for some reason I could not register LT when I got it 5 years ago. My serial number was just weird. I wound up opening a support ticket, and sending a picture of the serial number, and they did registered it for me.
