I use a harmonizer to a great effect in several songs. I place the Twin Harmony block after the distortion / amp / cab. Basically at the very end of the chain, followed by some delay. Maybe it's your placement of the harmonizer? For me, it tracks pretty darn well and I don't have any clipping.... Here's a performance, you can hear how it sounds in context (1:34). BTW, for distortion I use "Classic Dist", which works as DS-1. No external pedals for me....

I was told people really like factory 3.50 presets. But then again first thing I did when I got my Helix was to erase all of the factory presets, but that's just me, that's what I do with every single piece of gear.

I was seeing a bug that was ultimately caused by HX Edit running on a Mac on with Helix Firmware 3.15 In reality, altering one preset would apply the same (unrelated) changes to a different preset. Nobody could replicate this bug on Windows. It was literally altering unrelated presets. And you wouldn't know if you broke a preset until you tested all your numerous presets. Staying on 3.11 thank you verrrrry much.

I knew it! Thanks for the tip. This is exactly why I don't upgrade from 3.11. For me the bypass functionality based on percentage works great. Ain't broke, no need to fix it. So, wah block is off in the preset; it turns on when EXP 2 is past 5%. Lower than 5% it gets turned off. If I don't want to use the wah in a certain snapshot, I set the mix parameter to 0% -- done. Forget about this utterly useless "Heel Down" behavior. Line 6 really really over-complicated this.

Or maybe it's something like some TVs emit certain frequencies. Maybe those frequencies were reserved, and now they are not. That's what I was getting at.

Yeah, I'm aware about the frequency range... But you have to agree that 2 wireless units, 3 venues and all of them had issues out of nowhere. That's what strikes me as odd. You gotta admit that it's kind-of fishy that from the 100+ shows I've played with the wireless why the heck did it start happening only now, and only in Florida (so far)?!

So I have been happily using my Shure Wireless system GLXD16 for guitar for about 7 years now. It'd never failed me live, I've taken it all around the US and to Europe, Israel. No cutting out, no interference, dependable, solid, great. All of a sudden we went to Florida and played 3 gigs in Tampa, Orlando and Miami. Me and the bass player started getting interference on our GLXD16 systems. For me it was manageable, and only noticeable if I went far away from the receiver (off stage) and was holding a long note, however for the bass player it sounded like a leslie was on fast. We tried everything, including running bass through my wireless system, and the interference was still noticeable on bass, making it unusable. We wound up routing the receiver to where the microphone was to minimize the distance and played 3 shows the same exact way. So now question: does it sound like a coincidence that literally less than a month that a new and improved wireless system is announced, the old one stops being reliable? Could it be that they "freed up some frequencies" for like air traffic control or something (sorry I am not that technical). Thoughts? Here's the new system btw: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GLXD16p--shure-glxd16-digital-wireless-guitar-pedal-system

Processing power of Helix Floor / LT / Rack is the same. Same sounds, same blocks, same processor. With every new release, new amps/cabs get added, so that may be the source of discrepancy. What LT has fewer of (as opposed to the Floor / Rack): 1) no physical scribble strips, instead it has virtual ones 2) fewer in/outs: fewer loops, no XLR input, etc. 3) does not have 10 stomp mode, you can only assign things to 8 buttons in stomp mode. Rack allows you to have 3 expression pedals at the same time. I don't see the need to get the rack personally, go for the Floor... It's all self-contained, no remote is needed, etc. If you use snapshots, and run your guitar, and maybe use a couple of loops, you'll be fine on any of the 3 pieces of hardware. For example, I use my Floor and LT interchangeably.

Mooer Baby Bomb + Orange 112 cab = awesome. That's my current setup. Plenty of volume for a small club on its own, and great for the stage volume.

I created a preset, you can download it here. This preset creates an organ pad underneath your playing. You can switch the sounds with your snapshots. It's a pretty convincing B3 organ sound with a Leslie. You can take this preset, and tweak it with some vibrato, chorus, reverb and you'll get pretty convincing violins. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5850243/

First check the global settings -- there's a way to disable the tap tempo light (I actually disabled mine). Regarding the LEDs, if they failed, I recommend sending your Helix to Line 6... Unless you have proper soldering equipment, there's absolutely no way to do this at home, you'll wind up breaking something else. I have had an awful experience where a shop just wasted my time, refused to do any work, and stripped all my screws, leaving some of them sticking out. Sent it to Line 6 and it was fixed in under 2 weeks door-to-door-back-home.

With me I had the opposite problem: Helix and the amp were running out of the same outlet and the ground loop / 60-cycle hum was unbearable. When I switched the amp to another outlet, the noise was diminished. Also the noise was exacerbated by the yellow lights in the venue... when we started playing, it was only the stage lights and the noise was gone.

If you go on Amazon, you will find lots of gadgets like this: https://www.amazon.com/ALLWEI-Portable-Generator-78000mAh-Emergency/dp/B08CXN4TZR

I got myself this thing a long time ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3S00H0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's perfect for camping. I was able to run my pedalboard / 30W amplifier for the entire rehearsal on it. I was actually impressed with it. The only thing there were ground loop issues with one specific pedal. Helix should run with absolutely no issues on one/two of these. Lots of options out there.

yes, Mooer Baby Bomb power amp

Try resetting the global settings. I always thought that the tap tempo, or any other FS light would not fail right away, but usually only 1/2 of it would stop working... not both halves.

I like the sound of a dirty leslie... so I put it before the amp.

I use a power camp -- Mooer Baby Bomb. I connect it to a single 12" speaker (either a standalone, or from Fender Deluxe amp). It just works and sounds the way I want it to sound. I sometimes tweak global EQ to get rid of certain honkiness. I checked the impedance values of various speakers from various amps, so for example a Fender Twin will not work reliably with the power amp. If there's no single 12" speaker available, then I just plug into whatever there is around, the cleaner the better. So a Twin Reverb will be my choice for an amp if I cannot use my trusty power amp. I never disable the amp simulator for my personal monitor mix... If I did then all the reverbs/delays would sound completely different, because I place delays after the amp in my chain..

Here's something I just made. Let me know if it works... basically a combination of tremolo, pitch, delay and gain manipulation using the expression pedal 2. Seagulls.hlx

I did my cleaning 8 months ago. So far so good. Also all the buttons are smoother than before for me as well. Also the click is not as loud as before. Good luck. Liquid Deoxit rules!

Only 8 per preset. You can however use command center to add other stuff to your remaining 2 buttons, go to other presets, etc.

I've only cleaned them, that worked for me. Liquid DeoxIT fixed it.

It could be that it's interpreting a button press as double-press. That's why in snapshots, double-pressing doesn't cause any issues... You'll re-enter the same snapshot...but in pedal board mode, double press will turn on, then off a block. Try reassigning the block(s) to a different button, and see if the issue gets resolved. If the issue gets resolved, then the micro switch is on its way out.. 4 years is a long time, and in my limited experience I started seeing issues much much sooner. I have a Helix that was only used sparingly, i.e. for the gigs, and after a year my "solo" snapshot button wouldn't always work, you really needed to press it all the way down, not lightly tap it.

Lots of posts about this.

You shouldn't not transpose the initial attack, while transposing everything else. On bass, you never really play one note at a time a 100% of the time... once you start playing multiple pitches at once, that will have weird artifacts... as notes that should be sustained may start jumping around in pitch....
