No guns. But we've been there already, and done that. ;)

Worked and working with software companies for 3 decades now. I can say not everyone it's adopting the semantic versioning. Decimal versioning is a bit vintage I agree, but isnt wrong (ask Microsoft...).

Line6 software doesnt use procedural updates (base install/Core + updated libraries), so each update it's just a brand new download of a brand new installer, which needs previous .exe version to quit. Im pretty sure you still were on 3.01 when you tried first time.

I do have same rig as you. If I manage to reproduce the bug, I will kick a support ticket. I guess the more we are, the better.

Just a note for everyone here; just be aware you need to unload and reload the updated blocks to make them last-gen. If you don't do that, new params won't show up. o/

No crackling vinyl yet on Helix... I'm using Time Machine to do that stuff.. :P

Well, if happen your will last 7 hrs, I'll eat my hat. :)

You are probably young. :) that hiss it's the fingerprint of a magnetic tape, and mostly caused by the layer of magnetic particles, that are the active part on a tape surface.

Interesting as the test menu wasn't available in the Rack, before 3.1. Anyway, are you pressing Knobs 5 and 6 (those under the LCD display), or are you pressing Footswitches 5 and 6?

Unless it's a TII version, no way a G10T with latest firmware will last 6 hours. Old or new, it's all clamped to ~2.5hrs.

For me the entire update process, this time, worked just flawless. Been prompted there were 2 updates; one for Edit, one for Stomp. Did both, worked as intended. Just don't rush things. Read the prompts, follow the instructions. This helps most of the time...

I'm impressed by these updates and L6, which seems doing a great job keeping the pace with the modern pedal market and sound design. Love all that glitchy/poly/tape/freeze stuff (all things that I usually do with a Empress Zoia), and great to see new reverbs. Updated my Stomp, all good so far (only little problem is that you have to unload/reload the blocks that have been updated). Today it's time for my Rack. Bravi! :)

This is awesome stuff!!

I see... ...A stomp with 2 DSPs, 32 Blocks, two path, four signals stereo.....packed into a cig box with a 2.4" display and 3 footswitches. Makes sense.

Buy two stomps. Done.

Powercab 112 has no MIDI.

....Pretty sure something wrong happening on your guitar, or the way you are hearing/evaluating these tones. Technically speaking, what you describe it's not really possible. Even with impedance mismatching, it's not possible to have the same tone coming from different pickup position. And when I say "the same", I mean, THE SAME... That's against physics. Anyway, what pickups are we talking about? What kind of wiring?

No digital audio is being sent from that HX Stomp to the Powercab, so no Link daisy chain is possible. If there is no AES incoming to the first PC+, that one has nothing to send from its AES out.

Pod Go is able to run a bunch of HX algos, as happen with Helix which can run legacy algos, coming from old L6 devices. This is about algorithms (math) running on different platforms, which looks like they need different patch structure, because - again - platforms are different. Not sure why we are arguing about that, I mean, it's just a fact. Then, if you ask me if L6 did that for market separation purposes, or because was necessary due the different hardware abstraction, I have no idea.

I discovered that the issue is a double click that happens on a single tap travel. This especially happen with "heavy" tapping; as soon as the FS is all down, there there is the first TAP, when FS is released, there is a second TAP. That's why most of the time you get a jump to max tempo. Because two clicks/taps are sent within an extremely short time. Also happens when you hold down to leave the tuner; two taps on release. Dont know if this is an electrical glitch from the switch, or a mechanical problem, engaging the switch multiple times. To avoid that, you need to be very soft on tapping, or use an external switch/control to tap. I could repro this on my Helix Rack Control, an two Helix floor from friends...so looks like it's there in every unit. HX Stomp seems less affected, I guess hardware and mechanics arent 100% the same. Imho this would be fixable code side, introducing a threshold to clean up the tap triggering.

They are not compatible.

I don't have a 212, but I do have two 112+ and a Firehawk 1500, which is stereo. Honestly, with the FH1500, the stereo spread is barely there, unless it's an explicit effect like a ping pong, and you are sitting exactly in the middle of the two speakers. As soon as you move just a little out of the center axis, stereo is gone. Imho, if you want stereo, you need two separate cabs. As for the vocals through the PCs, I'd say they can be pretty boomy in a small room, even with low cuts and EQs... so yeah, I'd keep the Bose.

Sorry I do quote myself :P

And how are you monitoring the Helix? Straight from the Helix, or are you monitoring from the DAW? From what you describe, doesn't sound like an Helix problem. More like a DAW problem, not Helix hardware related.

What's doing the iMac in that context? How are you monitoring the Helix?
