Line6 has the longest “SOONâ€in the market!!!

He's talking about the small house icon on the particle verb and synth string scribble strips.

C'mon guys, release that damn firmware!!! :lol: :lol:

Anyone knows if it's coming later today, or it's just next week?

After installing 2.30 I now have the FS5 scribble strip flashing, when in preset mode. Was not flashing before. Does work fine in any other condition so doesn't seem a faulty strip. Can anyone confirm this? I did a little video with my phone; https://www.dropbox.com/s/8lzm9wdp1jgk0ho/IMG_4581.MOV?dl=0 EDIT; Nevermind. It's a scribble strip failure. That is 3 hardware faults in less than 10 months. SIGH!

Yeah. As soon as you plug a signal in the FH1500 Guitar In, all speakers are engaged, no matter the stereo/mono scheme. Just build a blank preset in the FH1500 (especially no amp no cab), and be sure your Helix is sending a signal @ instrument level, and you should be fine. As a personal suggestion, if you are not using the Monitor IN on the back of the amp, turn the GAIN all way down to kill the residual noise produced by that stage.

Nothing special; the FH1500 DSP does swap from L/R to L+R, using same speakers.

Running Helix 100% wet effects into the Monitor IN - AND - sending a DRY in the Guitar IN, is activating the Horn speaker. This is of course a W/D/W.

Did you read the reply to that support ticket? [2] Original Helix ticket reply: Quote

Point is L6 it's not wasting its time reading forums, so this is the typical case where you need a coordinate action between people, in the form of multiple support ticket requests, all complaining for the tuner, or a massive campaign on ideascale. Problem is sometimes people loves to rant on forums, but it's too lazy to act properly. Works the same in real life.

Buy an external pedal and forget about the one in the Helix LT. I think this is the only way you have to solve the problem, IF the problem does exist on a constant basis.

Oh, in 20 years I've been a L6 customer, I never complained for the support. They are number one.

Mine suffered a solder joint break, that what have been reported on the RMA paper. Now it's starting skipping some clicks too. As for the numbers, oh well, I've seen really A LOT of people with that problem. On big numbers may be a small percentage, but still I've seen really A LOT of guys around forums, facebook etc, facing the issue.

The joystick it's stressing the welding spots as it's not locked on the front panel, as a normal pot/switch. It's just bad design.

Wow, this is a beast of a setup. Are you controlling the Strymon patches*preset, via MIDI?

The Helix stomps and/or the FH1500 stomps, depends if I'm using both or just the amp. (EurekaPROM)

My Fender Telecaster Baja '60 doesn't work with the G10 as it doesn't fit the jack slot. Guitar manufacturer - Fender Guitar model - Baja '60 2014 Does it fit and turn on? - No and No Do you hear audio? - NO Does the adapter solution resolve the issue? NO, as it does not fit because of the angle. Would have worked if straight. PierM

My Godin Summit Classic doesn't work with the G10 as it doesn't fit the jack slot. Guitar manufacturer - Godin Guitar model - Summit Classic 2015 Does it fit and turn on? - No and No Do you hear audio? - NO Does the adapter solution resolve the issue?

It DOES modify the tone of your guitar and yeah, even a cabinet does modify the tone of a guitar, since the tone it's a product of guitar+amp. It's all about frequencies. I do personally use a couple of commercial acoustic strings iRs to shape my tone to a Viola/Fiddle/Cello, using the eBow, and it does indeed shape the tone in a impressive way. A raw piezo output would work better for that, and I hope one day we will see the raw piezo output available in the Variax guitars. :)

Yes you can use the Looper to record from USB, but you need an application, on the host, to route the output to USB 3/4, or 5/6, or 7/8. This is because the USB 1/2 are hardcoded to be routed after the Helix DSP, so you can't process those channels inside a patch, just after. I can do that settings the USB 3/4 channels, as input on the Helix patch, just before the Looper, and then using AUM (Audio Mixer) for iOS to load the audio sample and route the output to 3 and 4. In your case, I guess you can just route to 3/4 in the MacOs audio device preferences.

I just take a picture with my phone, of every single Global Settings page, before an update/reset. I do agree would be great to restore from a file, but I also see Line6 is changing/adding/modifying stuff in the Global Settings area, almost for every major update...so I guess this is also why they are not yet offering that option.

You can easily link an external tuner to whatever Helix output (1/4", XLR, Send 1/2/3/4, Digital, USB 1/2/3/4) and then set the Helix Tuner to re-route your guitar to that output you are using and done. Every time you'll press the Tuner button, the signal will be routed to the external tuner too, so no need to add any block to your presets, and your signal path it's not affected by that, in any way, because there is not any return from the external Tuner. I'm doing that by default, works like a charm. This is where the Helix is totally bananas! :)

This is a fair point which would explain why I feel so badly the input lag and also that refresh limit would justify the jumpiness because analysis and readout on the screen are not working 1:1. This means, again, we can't rush the tuning. :P

Just did that picture on the fly, to show you what I mean; Same signal, this -3.6 should be "spotted" by the Helix, but looks it doesn't care to much. Sometimes it does catch up, sometimes it does not.
