  1. Helix Native on an iPad Pro would be killer, better if standalone as a direct competitor with Bias Amp and FX II. Unfortunately, it wont happen.

    Read the manual, then if something will be still foggy ask here. ;)
  3. The HX Stomp does ignore redundant PCs, so nothing happens until you actually change preset.
  4. Not sure I understand here, but if a PC is being received and matching the preset currently loaded it should be ignored already.
  5. Yep, that's valid for every single Helix or HX device. The clock used for the sync is terrible.
  6. Helix can only handle "passive" MIDI actions (that wont require internal MIDI/WAV data storage), that are already available via commands. What you are asking would require lot of extra memory (both non-volatile and volatile) that unfortunately isnt there.
  7. It's in the manual. And yes, it can send and receive clock via USB and/or MIDI DIN.
  8. Over here in Europe the correct model name is Line 6 DC-3h Power Supply (9VDC, 3000mA). https://www.musicstore.com/es_ES/EUR/Line-6-DC-3h-Power-Supply/art-GIT0054371-000?gclid=CjwKCAjw36GjBhAkEiwAKwIWyTU2ZLIq8jD_qKNsTSSPZ_7KTeTAf6l1Gpx3nQeLLc5nWsmv7FKh2xoChsAQAvD_BwE&campaign=GShopping%2FIT&ProgramUUID=ImjAqJarGRIAAAFl1OlyjI8x
  9. I can confirm there is a bug on MacOS version that prevent HX Edit 3.5 to see the 3.6 update, and even if you manually install the HX Edit 3.6 it won't see the available 3.6 hardware update. Use the Line 6 Updater app for the hardware.
  10. G10S is garbage. It's even worse then the smaller G10, as it uses a different system for the WiFi (even if using same freqs). I did a lot of tests, in exactly same environment with G10S, G10 and Boss W20L G10S drops out in Auto as well as in any other channel. Only way to make it working without drops is to use it in a desert. G10 much more stable (it does drop out but less often than G10S), even if you have no control on the channel. Seems to better tolerate a busy WiFi area. Boss WL-20L (grey one) it just works. Never had a drop out until now. Had the Boss WL-20 (the black one) with cable tone and returned as sounded awful for my ears, while the 20L (no cable tone) sounds spot on for my needs. They both works way better in a busy WiFi area than L6 relays. So these days my G10S is grabbing dust in a closet, and I only use either the Boss or the old G10 with a G10TII as the original one has been ruined by the firmware.
  11. A Helix Rack with wheels?
  12. Yes it's normal. The top LCD on the Helix Rack foot controller isnt the same type as the scribble strips that are high contrast backlit. You can easily notice in any angled picture of the Control.
  13. it's because you are doing the tap dance barefoot. Just wear shoes or turn the touch off. Read the manual. ;)
  14. I do live in south Italy. In summer we can easily go way over 45°C (113F). Stomp has zero vent ports, it's a sealed metal black box, with a tight pancake of PCBs in the inside, so if that case goes hot, the ambient temperatures and ventilation are playing a vital role in the heat dissipation. Doesnt matter the block I use (i dont even use the amp modeling), it can gets really hot. It doesnt hang or crash for me, but still that fan it's there to prevent potential conductance issues and inductor overheating.
  15. Im pretty confident the problem will disappear after the reset. :)

    Faulty Helix?

    Ouch...enjoy it while it lasts!

    Faulty Helix?

    The first cause of Helix/HX problems is....user errors. :) So it could be you were just missing something in your early attempts. When we help over here, we always assume you are doing all right, and that your systems are properly setup, but every time there is USB involved, a lot of extra variables are playing in the game... Fingercrossed. :)
  18. It should work. I had one for couple of weeks (that I returned as imho was sounding awful). The audio you hear when it's booting it's the analog pass thru. Is it working with a standard cable? Are you using the original HX Stomp power supply? Also try with a mono adapter (female to male) as that TRS jack can create issues with the TS at the HX stomp input.
  19. Never heard this before neither I've ever seen that error. I'd reset the unit as this isnt normal.
  20. The Stomp is a "hot device" out of the box. It's an extremely tight package (it tends to overheat even in the studio) and over here, when it's hot summer, I use a 120mm fan to keep it in a safer range, that I've put under the pedalboard and powered with a 9V to 5V cheap converter. It helps moving a lot if air underneath and prevents the overheating. A sunshield is also recommended.
  21. And after all these years I wonder...how difficult it can be for L6 to just add few extra lines/pages of text in that damn error screen to help the user in the process? I mean, even just a link would be better than that "boot failure. entered update mode!"
