I would keep the Mesa if possible, and as soon as you are happy (and IF) with the HX Stomp, you can drop the Amp. Saying that because we can all tell you all great things about the HX Stomp, but the only guy who can decide if it's good or not, is you. Also jumping from real amps to modeling usually needs some transition. As if the stomp alone can be enough, again depends on you and your needs. For a bluesman that is used to guitar to overdrive to amp, is more than enough. For a pedal addicted, which wants 2 lines of stereo delays, reverb, dual amp/cab and stuff....no, not really enough. 100% Imho. :)

Yes, all new stocks of G10 are with the TII, and it's usually specified in the product AD specs. Previous version is gone. Battery life is still around 6.5hrs after a month, so I believe this is the max possible duration for my environment (there it can be a slight difference between cold and warm environments).

Line6 is pretty damn good avoiding oversaturated markets. They always nailed it. Now market is really oversatured of "helix'ed" devices (we all have to be honest, after the helix floor success, everyone tried to copy the concept, for the worse or for the better, doesn't matter), so imho they won't be doing a Helix 2, but just inventing something "new", and moving from there.

Hi, that is just my own configuration, colors and everything. To do your own (change golors, change CCs, add/remove more buttons and knobs etc..), you need to learn basics on how Midi Designer Pro works. I suggest you to give a read to the basics, it's pretty easy to edit, and from there, personalize your controllers. https://mididesigner.com/wiki/doku.php/manual:10_intro

I'm pretty sure you have a PC monitor using an HDMI connection. Am I right? If I am, than that's your enemy. That HDMI connection. If you can use a different video connection, like DVI, or Miniport, GO for it! Good luck!

Didn't know they added a metronome!

It's clear you have a problem with that unit. Open a support ticket and see what they say. Never had a noise issue with my G10, and I had a lot of them (3 G10 old serie, and a new G10TII). Battery drain was an issue, but sound wise, they all sounded great.

If it's set to FRFR it will work fine. Dont expect the same quality as a good stage monitor. Powercabs can be really boomy with busy signals, but your setup (acoustic + 2 voices) doesnt seem to complex, so it should be acceptable.

It's a year that I'm using a cheap Amazon Basic SPDIF cable, and just works flawless. Looks pretty much like the one @spaceatl just posted https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01D5H8VR8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (for receiving audio from Helix, through SPID cable, remember to set the Scarlett Sync to "spdif" instead of "internal" or it won't work)

Pretty hard to get same signal from Helix HP and Scarlett HP. You'd need both preamp and impedance matching. I do have a similar setup, with a 6i6, and despite the headphone I use, I do always get a different HP experience. I do have an AKG K141 MKII 55 Ohm, BD 770 Pro 80 Ohm and BD770 Pro 250 Ohm. Oddly enough, the last (220Ohm), it's the headphone that gives me the best "match" between Helix and Scarlett, but the cons is it can be perceived as a low volume for many.

Check in the global settings, that both input and output are set to instrument level. Also you can dial with the impedance setting (Z) in the main input block, to see if you find a better balance, instead of using Auto-Z (that usually works fine with guitars). Just FYI, even without blocks, and unless you have the HX stomp in true bypass mode, there'll always be an A/D/A conversion (DSP is still working). Shouldn't affect the signal in a bad way, but yeah...it's happening.

You need no signal at all to make the G10T switching to standby. Even with volume up, but with no play at all, if you have a noisy/hissy background (because a noisy pickup or hi gain) it can keep running until battery drains. So, I wouldnt really worry about it.

Be sure to flash both trasmitter and receiver. After the firmware, if keeps flashing red, just leave it alone. It should start flashing green after a while. My old G10 with the damn firmware, did the same.

The "hiss" should not be the noise gate (quite the opposite), since this is NOT adding anything to the signal; at the opposite it's fading IN and OUT the signal when its amplitude it's under the threshold. The Noise Gate is commonly used to suppress unwanted noise that is audible when the audio signal is at a low level, so I guess you "feel" like there is no hiss when gate it's turned off, because the signal is not being cut and faded. I never liked the Noise Gates, in any situation, but I dont use high gain so my signal is pretty clean from the start.

Do you have a noise gate somewhere in the chain and/or in the main input settings?

If you are in Europe, Im selling my Infinity Looper, plus controller. That's like 4 hours of recording, or more (depends on the sdcard) ;)

Helix isn't a USB Host, so it can't be done.

Forget the USB for a moment; if you are using the included power supply, and turning the switch to ON doesnt boot the device, then it's either a faulty power supply, or a faulty HX Stomp. In this case, just return it. The USB connection doesnt have any role here. If the unit wont boot, even with an error, the device cant be seen by any computer as it's just offline.

I never said the idea is bad, nor I said you shouldnt report to cops. I believe some of you is arguing for nothing. I only said I never seen a stolen average value instrument, going back to the owner. And of course, all reported as stolen. Personal experience. World is a big place brothers, experience may differ, laws and priorities are different. Didnt want to go that route, as it's going to be boring politics. Happy to see and know someone had a different experience. Everything L6 is doing to help on this matter, is welcome. <peace>

Unless it's really expensive stuff, I understand that cops cant really waste their time, investigating something like stolen pedals, or average guitars...so Im not that surpsrised it's extremely hard to get s**t back. Said that, I still keep track of all my guitars and hardware serials...but imho expensive stuff is being moved far away from where it has been stolen. I mean, like a different area and a different market.

In 35 years of playing and messing around with these things, I never seen a stolen amp, guitar or pedal, going back to the original owner.

AFAIK, you can't do that in Midi Designer. It's all about knobs, faders, or tap, etc etc.

Meh!...sell the Dwarf and grab a Zoia. :) Thank me later.

update; Second cycle lasted a bit more; 6hrs and 30min.

Ah right.
