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

Compensate at the output, that's it. Native it's different from other plugins. The dynamic range and the headroom are really wide (and that's why you need to stay low at the input, especially with your interface which has a bit of a narrow dynamic range), and they works better with dynamic impedance circuit at the input (which is what Helix hardware does), which is rare to find on the average audio interface.

Too hot input signal. Native needs an input in between -36 and -12dB (the gray range at the left of Native meter). I'd suggest to set your max input levels to -12. Never above that, even if it's not red. If your signal stay above that area, everything will start sounding distort. Sometimes with native, and some combination of audio interface and pickups, it's better to keep input level on the interface panel, set to the minimum.

Hi. Here you can find 126 pages (along 6 months of blah blah) about the subject, and also few L6 guys posting there. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/helix-3-1.2197408/ Short answer is; nobody really knows. My only wish is mic offset for cabs, even if I'm not longer using Helix amp modeling, but this could be something pulling me back. :)

Hello. Can you please just f....g stop? Thanks.

You need to press the gain encoder, and then dial the value. This will place a keyframe there, to be stored in the snapshot.

Funny to see in the other thread, about exactly same topic, someone saying exactly the opposite. :)

Yep, what the other guys said. I do keep my pedalboard always in the FX loop of HXStomp (which sits in the same pedalboard), or the big boy Helix Rack. This way I still have the option to bypass those pedals, and move them where I want, per patch. Sometimes I do also keep my HS Stomp, in the Loop of the Rack... that's weird, but fun. :D I think that's the beauty of these toys.

Anyway, afaik the M9 had the same tactile switch, soldered to PCB. Same as Helix, HX etc... Funny is, I remember people complaining about how bad those were lol! What make noise in these systems aren't really the little switches, but friction of springs/metal bits just above the actual switch. Messing around there, imho, is a path to nowhere. Also, this will totally void the warranty (and considering it's a brand new, just released XL, doesn't really sound a smart move). If ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why didnt you buy a regular stomp instead XL, and a controller with swicthes you like? Sigh...

I do have a 2011 (Bought in 2016 as new, from Thomann). Never had a single problem. Played a new one, didnt notice anything different. I dont think new board is doing something the average user could hear or feel. Probably just stuff that makes L6 happier, but not for the sound or for the performance, otherwise we would have seen a marketing lollipop back in 2012. Nice anectode is that, within a collection of +30 guitars (most of them Custom Shop items), this JTV59 is the best companion for my Fishman Tripleplay. Incredible how well the FTP tracks this guitar. Coincidence maybe, maybe not. :)

Helix Stomp has a single Setlist, with 126 presets, subdivided into 42 Banks, with 3 Presets each. This means you can't do what you are asking for, as there is no multiple setlist onboard. Just one. My suggestion is to think per preset, not per setlist. Just do proper backup to avoid losing stuff. Helix Floor/Rack/LT; 1024 presets (8 Setlists * 32 Banks * 4 Presets) Helix Stomp; 126 presets (1 Setlist * 42 Banks * 3 Presets)

My take on this is that Native meters are probably just intended as signal in/out leveling, not for live metering. It's clear there is a much slower response, and a fairly rude quantization. i wouldnt be suprised if they are also affected by buffering. For sure not calling or reading level info straight from DAW.

No. As already explained, you can "remote" the Page <> functions through external FS4 and FS5, to scroll between modes. This will exclude these as Stomp 4 and 5. They will work just as Page/Navigation <> FS prev/next mode. If you want to preserve all FS, from 1 to 5, and avoid the Page nav, you need a MIDI controller, and use that one for snapshots and other stuff.

I do have both, Rack and Stomp. Tone is the same (but DSP is the half, so you cant do same double path things as the Rack), but Rack is still a different beast, for everything but tone. Stomp can be a PITA for patch editing/creation, as well for accessing sub layers of features and commands. I'd say, unless it's a very basic patch, the Edit software is kind of mandatory for Stomp...:)

If I may suggest; for basics like that, google is working great. Then there is Knowledge base, on this same place; https://line6.com/support/page/kb/general-faq/line-6-device-factory-reset-procedures-r435/

If you want a block bypass to not be stored in any snapshot, select that block, press Action button, and set Snapshot Bypass Off.

Yes.

That's a multifunction joystick, with rotation encoding, axis and push. It's a 6 pin, and a single broken solder (cold joint) it's enough to stop one of the functions.

Try connecting the headphones to the PA.... ...sorry no idea.

Faulty, needs a service repair. If you do a search, you'll find plenty over here (and Im one of those, twice...). Open a ticket.

From that yellowish color, looks like liquid crystal bleeding between polarizer and matrix, but could just be a bad batch of LCD strips. Stuff for a ticket for sure.

Are you that lazy to not find the time to set a proper thread title?

Sorry, he has to say that; (j/k)

Yep, I abandoned the Link for this reason and also for other bugs when daisy chaining more PCs. The difference in volume between XLR and Link is embarrassing.
