  1. Here's my solution: variable tempo of the tremolo helps it stay in sync.
  2. Take off the knob, tighten the nut, put some nail polish on it so it stays in place, put the knob back on and it'll be fine!
  3. I personally tried running my distortion in a loop, but soon discovered the noise that that introduced. It wasn’t terrible, but it was noticeable. It’s inevitable, unless you use an all analog effects loop like what’s on the new Fender processor. I now use whatever is in the Helix and am happy. It has everything. Running pedals in the effects loop defeats the purpose of an all in one unit. Take it from a seasoned player—the helix has that distortion sound you are looking for.
  4. I honestly don’t understand why everybody looks down on the Pod Go. I got it and it’s excellent. Has 4 snapshots and a bigger screen…more knobs, and has an expression pedal. And I built so many presets for it. And at no time have I felt limited. And I’m coming from the full blown Helix. It does suffer from the same build quality issues eg crappy micro switches. but my point is, why get the Stomp, if you could get this for less money. I don’t get it.
  5. Or just create multiple presets-- one for each song with pre-saved tempo. I play to a click track, and I have all my delays saved with specific BMP settings. I have generic non-tempo-specific delays in some presets, and some have exact BPM settings to have the desired delay effect (like U2). I think... less things to connect, less things can go wrong. :) And sorry, have not explored MIDI on the Helix yet.
  6. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/KC990--roland-kc-990-320w-2x12-inch-keyboard-amp One of these. It's an FRFR amp, it's a keyboard amp, it can handle bass.
  7. Yep, Line 6 uses low quality parts. It is rather unfortunate! Reach out to Line 6 directly-- call them over the phone and explain your situation--a service center did not fix your problem, and it came back. They will create a ticket for you, where you can fill in your information. That's what I did after horrible experience with 2 service centers. Line 6 fixed my Helix for free for me. Sometimes you need to escalate. Good luck!
  8. Well, open up the Helix, and remove the pedal and all that is involved. You can even velcro a smaller expression pedal where the old one used to be. Problem solved, and you now have a rugged replaceable expression pedal part of your Helix LT.
  9. Get a quality external expression pedal and use it.
  10. If you are running through a monitor, then you need amp+cab. Cab darkens the sound, that's a known "side effect". Nobody performs with an amp block without a cab/cab sim, unless they are trying to recreate the Beatles' Revolution guitar sound.
  11. I've flown with my Helix a lot and was always able to take it as my personal item onboard. With guitars, it's a different story!
  12. Umm... maybe something is arcing inside. Crackling is not good. I'd be careful. I know somebody whose house burned down because of a cheap Chinese lamp. It arced and started a fire.
  13. sounds like you need to re-restore your global settings, otherwise your global EQ is reset to the default.
  14. Remove the lid and shake out whatever is inside. Only one way to find out. I had 2 blobs of plastic (from the button surround rings) inside my Pod Go.
  15. It is. Minus the very low quality micro-switches. Even worse than those on the Helix.
