You can change the layout of your Helix, but that only applies to the stomp mode. You can either add individual/multiple effects and assign them to various footswitches, and/or you can assign preset changes/snapshots--the latter can only be done with the Command Center. So in essence, your Helix will have 2 layouts: the regular default one, and another one that you can go into if you press the "mode" button. If you are using Helix LT (which you are), then you cannot repurpose up/down buttons to do anything else, besides up/down. Helix LT allows you to assign things to only 8 footswitches in the stomp view. You can however remove the functionality for up/down buttons to make them do absolutely nothing using a hack--uploading Global Settings with 10-stomp mode enabled from Helix Floor. It's a hack, and not intended functionality. That is something that I personally use, and you can watch this video to see how to do it: https://youtu.be/UTQ8wJaXZnc?si=rZ1xHjcUP0VP1eQ8 To be able to use all 10 footswitches for presets/snapshots/stomps, you need to buy the Helix Floor or Rack. Once you enable "10-button stomp" in Global Settings, then you can assign all 10 buttons as you please.

Try to reset to factory settings and see if it starts working. Part of the upgrade process is to reset to factory settings, and then restore from the backup you had created.

I have played at several stages where it seems only I was suffering from the ground loop noise. I use a power amp + cab as a personal monitor. To solve the ground loop, I had to power on my power amp from a completely different power source—an outlet on the other side of the stage and a long extension cord.

Yeah harmonics are not exactly in tune and have added overtones that throw some tuners off. When you tune your guitar there is no reason to play the harmonics.

Why not use the whammy in the helix? Seriously. It sounds good and works very well. All the pitch effects in the helix are fantastic.

Try the same with 1/4” outputs. Try to test factory presets. Back up, do a factory reset and repeat the experiments. As I already mentioned many times, there is a bug with summing l and r to mono. Maybe in your case it’s introducing weird noise. Just watch my video to see this bug for yourself. https://youtu.be/PtUkL7aHeFY?si=sUupSIBifgknbH5w

Pod Go wireless was released after the original one. So things were definitely reworked. Everything sound-wise should be identical, although I'm sure the internal components are changed from time to time.

Maybe you should instead sell your Helix and buy yourself an HX Stomp, if you only use a couple of sounds. It's smaller, and you can get one of those fancy rack drawers, where it can live. Otherwise, the Helix Rack is more expensive, and it'd be difficult to find somebody willing to trade, unless it is "very" used.

Try the logarithmic sweep option. Some people prefer it. Also it depends where you place the volume pedal. If you want it to control the overall volume, place it at the end of the chain. If you put it at the beginning, then you may be simply lower the gain and not necessarily lowering the overall volume as much as you like.

In Pod Go edit, right click on the parameter, select "snapshot assignment". You will see square brackets around the value. Go into a specific snapshot you want to make the change, change the value, save.

It's called momentary switching mode. All info is in the manual, search for "momentary". In summary, you can turn things on/off in the stomp mode by assigning one ore more blocks to a single button. You can make it momentary or latching. You can save your preset so that if you don't press the button you have a clean reverb sound; press the button and you have dirty dry sound--because you can assign multiple things to the same button. I personally never use the stomp view on Pod Go or the Helix. I use snapshots exclusively. If I want to turn something on/off frequently, I instead use the expression pedal to bypass one thing/un-bypass something else. Foot switches of Pod Go will not last if you plan on tapping one button frequently throughout your set. But an expression pedal is more durable. Trust me, I had to fix my Pod Go FSs already. For info mentioned check out my YouTube channel and search for Pod Go. https://www.youtube.com/@accidentals_hacks Cheers!

If a lot of things change between the snapshots, then that could introduce a delay. So start with a simple preset and turn on/off a delay block between snapshots. That should be pretty instantaneous. Maybe you assigned a bunch of parameters to snapshots, that you are not aware of?

I've also checked in my Helix backpack inside a suitcase several times as well-- no issues. That's when I needed to take a backup Helix with me.

You can assign the BMP of the delay block(s) to "EXP Pedal 2". You can set the min/max values of the delay tempo for each delay block. (remember, you can control multiple parameter values of multiple blocks with one expression pedal). Then you can get an external expression pedal, that looks something like this.... lol.... a roller rather. And now when it's plugged into your external expression pedal jack, you can turn the knob and change the tempo of the delay that way.... https://pedalnetics.com/product/expression-roller/ Or just use the tap tempo button, probably way easier.

Please open a support ticket for this. This is a potential nightmare scenario! And yes, having a backup of your presets is a smart idea, so is having a backup Helix :)

I don't have this issue. Did it start all of a sudden? Make sure your HX Edit matches the firmware version of the Helix, it's not behind or ahead. As a workaround, you can use another set list and copy/paste presets there, or just use the Helix.

I have one of those cheap stereo Bluetooth speakers that has an aux input. 2 years ago I had to play 3 shows in Florida right after taking a few days for vacation. I'm the kind of a guitarist, who needs to always be on top of their game, which includes running the whole set pretty much daily. Well, that speaker worked great for my needs. I was able to run all 2-hours worth of songs in the hotel room without disturbing anybody, and it sounded surprisingly great. So go figure.

My lazy method of cleaning the footswitches is as follows: 1. put the Helix so that the buttons are perpendicular to the floor (prop it up with something) 2. add a generous amount of Liquid DeoxIt to every button (about 4 applications) 3. Press each button slowly, then add more contact cleaner for about 4 rounds in total 4. Contact cleaner will drip down and eventually reach the actuators, but only if the Helix is propped up so that the buttons are perpendicular to the floor 5. Wait for a few hours 6. Take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum all the excess contact cleaner from each button, wipe the button with a paper towel, until the buttons are completely dry. You need to do this a few times, until you see no more contact cleaner coming out. 7. Flip the Helix upside-down, so the buttons are facing the floor, and are again perpendicular to the floor, wait a few hours 8. Any remaining excess DeoxIt wil ooze out 9. Vacuum the excess some more as in step 6. I personally can confirm that this method works. I started having a footswitch issue again, it was not as bad as before, but it had to be pressed slightly harder than when it was new. This method fixed it for me. This method may leave a mess inside the unit, but I personally don't care. Out of sight, out of mind.

On Helix Floor, you can use the "10-stomp" mode. If you enable 10-stomp mode on your Helix Floor, you can now reposition all your buttons (except mode and tap/tuner). You can use the left-most buttons for other things and put your up/down buttons somewhere else, so it's more convenient for you. Perhaps you'd want to put your up/down buttons on the top left side, so it's out of the way. To set up what all your buttons do, use the Command Center. CC allows you to map up what all the buttons do, you can mix and match presets/snapshots/stomps. It's extremely versatile. This view is custom for every preset, meaning that if you want to reposition your buttons and have that layout be consistent, you would need to do it in every preset. And also, this view is your "stomp" view. So if you press the mode button and go back into your preset view, you will see the up/down buttons in their usual place. I use the 10-button stomp view myself on my Helix Floor. I simply replicate the familiar layout, but I remove the up/down buttons, they are blank. I do this so that if I'm playing a song that uses all snapshots, I can hit the mode button and the up/down buttons disappear. As a bonus, the same exact hack works for Helix LT, although it was not intended for it. Watch my video to see how I remove the up/down buttons. https://youtu.be/UTQ8wJaXZnc?si=fHRWVLse4_Lq6yQ5

You can do a number of things: 1. you can swell up your distortion with an expression pedal. The distortion amount/volume can be controlled by it. 2. you can have an intermediate "swelling" snapshot, which I show in the video (below)

I can confirm that 2.82 had a ton of bugs. I was relieved that they were addressed in the subsequent releases. Please update your firmware, otherwise this is reporting bugs from 5 years ago. @PeterHammsorry accidentally down-voted your response earlier.

Here's another video of mine where I go through some more of my gimmicks.

Forget about factory presets. Create your own. Put blocks in a crazy counter-intuitive order. So many options!

To make signals louder/softer, simply add a gain block, and boost the sound as much as you want...
