Does this help?

I've just replied to your post on TGP, but I'll paste it here as well… :) Can confirm it works just fine. (MacBook Air M2 here) Since the Stomp is known as being picky about inferior USB cables, I'd recommend not to buy the next cheapest cable. Also, it has often been said that USB cables shouldn't exceed 2m length, especially when used for audio. So I'm also happy to report that in the past 2 years I've been successfully using the Stomp with a 4m (!) USB-C to USB-B cable from Delock: https://delock.com/produkt/83667/merkmale.html?g=776 No issues whatsoever.

You should see the palm rests on my antique MacBook from 2008. Or the "chiclet keyboard" keys on my meanwhile also antique MacBook 2012… :D

No offense intended, but if I were really new to all of this, I would simply use the built-in effects and amp simulations in Logic. They are "good enough" (by which I mean they are actually good). Frankly, been there done that many times. Not because I've been new to audio interfaces or aggregate devices or Helix or Logic (not at all in fact: I'm a Logic user since 2001), but because sometimes I'm lazy and also because I know that no one but my nitpicking self would ever care about such petty details… :D

Why? Unless you use some old 3rd party AU plugins that would require running GB via Rosetta, it is not needed in this setup at all.

Don't feed the trolls by reposting their spam links! ;)

I guess as the prolonged US weekend just came to an end, someone just came into the Line 6 office today and noticed that they forgot to click that tiny button in the forum software backend that would enable all the posted stuff to be actually seen on Teh Interwebz.

Also, @RobS60, you're posting in the wrong forum. This forum section is for the Helix Native AU/VST software plugin. You may want to repost the topic, including all details about your computer hardware and software, here: https://line6.com/support/forum/86-helix/

Um… why wasting your precious time with Artificial Idiocy when all you need to do is to select the Help menu → HX Edit Application Pilot's Guide which opens the built-in PDF manual, then navigate to the section titled "Renaming, Reordering, Copying, and Pasting Presets" which happens to be on page 14. ;)

Having HN open in Logic (i.e. Mac) at the moment, I just checked, and I can log in just fine. So it's not their servers. Although… you'll never know: e.g. the forum login was broken for me multiple times this week.

Have you followed the procedure as outlined here? (in Knowledge Base > Effects/Controllers > Helix/HX > Helix/HX 3.80 Release Notes)

On a quick look in Helix Native with a random clean sampled guitar MIDI loop in Logic: The cab has the "160 Ribbon" as a mic profile which sounds rather muddy for a guitar. At least as far as my taste is concerned. Try the "57 Dynamic" instead. For a rock guitar, you can't go wrong with that. That's what the vast majority of sound guys would place in front of your real cab anyway. Well, I did for s(h)ure while I used to work as a sound guy in the 90s… Also, you may want to rise the Low Cut a bit. E.g. my guitar presets are usually around 150 Hz. (Me being mainly a bassist, I know how it feels when guitarists or pianists dig in my frequency range. ;) Also, I'd switch the cab block from the "Legacy" type to the new type which allows for more fine tuning.

input ---- [any effects…] ---- AMP block ---- < ---- CAB block ------------------- MAIN OUT >>> FOH \ path B: \-------------- parametric EQ ---- SEND >>>>>>> my combo power amp input ^ That's how I do it, be it for bass or for guitar.

I'm using a similar setup since years, but rather than wasting a block on FX Send, I'm simply splitting the path by dragging a parametric EQ to path B, and routing the latter to the Send jack directly. The Cab remains on path A after the path split. That means: global EQ affects Main out, goes to FOH headphones still have the Cab the Send output to the (power) amp on stage has a separate EQ block for fine tuning Works for me with bass as well as with guitar. Only recently, while doing multitrack recording with our bands using Logic and my multiple audio interfaces in the Aggregate Device mode, I have used a modified preset with FX Send and Return, so that I could monitor the others' instruments via my Stomp headphone output while hearing my bass with an amp/cab sim as well (the actual recording of my bass was just DI via USB, to be processed in the mix via Helix Native). It was relatively complex to set up, because of shuffling analog – and thus latency free – signal between multiple interfaces, but it worked… :)
