About Helix Edit and Helix Native: Why are there no (options to see) pictures of the amps and effects, like there are in Amplitube 5 and TONEX of IK- Multimedia. I own a Helix Floor and this would be more joy and far more handy !!! Anybody knows a special reason for this flaw?

Thanks you all! I'm a little late reacting, sorry for that. Your tips and advices are very worthwhile for me. Actually I do a Cory Wong course with 'Your Guitar Academy' and I'am still green in funk- or funkyland. So you helped me a lot!

Hi there! Is there somewhere under the rainbow a place where I can find nice Funk Presets for my Helix Floor? I really tried it my self but cannot find the sound and action that I am looking for. Actually I did found the sound but then it was on the Amplitube 3.0 software application. A bit embarrassing, indeed! Hope you know where I can grab and find my most wanted funky guitar sound... Regards, Frederik

Thanks, you helped me completely!

Thanks gk001! I'll keep in in mind.

Okay, then I'll go for the JTV-69 (whenever it's available again in Holland...)

Thank you, that 's clear!

Hi there! I 'm planning to buy a Variax guitar but I do not know how to interpret the 'Fully adjustable Tyler-designed tremolo bridge' (for instance of the JTV-69). How good is it compared with the 'Floyd Rose licensed double-locking tremolo system' (of the JTV-89F)? Or is the detuning problem using the tremelo no issue at all, because the Variax wonder-guitar regulates itself? I really don't know and hope you do! Regards, Frederik

So, if I understand you well, it's just a matter of taste: which one looks better to someone and feels better for that person (playability, etc).... And regarding the sound qualities it doesn't matter at all?

I'm planning to buy a Variax electric guitar. But in my head is sparkling continuously a question I cannot get answered: All the Variax guitars are said to be able to perfectly simulate the sound af all famous guitars. Then, why should I bother - regarding the guitar sound - about which Variax guitar I should choose? I mean humbucker or single coil, Shuriken, Standard, James Tyler.....? There is bound to be a simple answer to my question, so please help me out! Regards, Frederik

Thank you all! I didn't know there was response until now. You really helped me a lot!!! Frederik

Thanks!!

How to use the mic input on the Helix backpanel? In the manual I can only find the following: '22.MIC IN Plug your microphone in here for processing your vocals or recording to your computer via USB. This XLR jack provides 48V phantom power for studio condenser mics and a variable low cut filter.' But ( for instance) how turn I the phantom power on and off? How turn I thw low cut filter on and off? Can I choose one output cnannel? And so on... Furthermore, when I connected the Helix - with my mic in MIC IN - to my mixer and computer no signal is coming through... I may be stupid, but then for sure I need a little help from my friends... Thanks in advance, Frederik ( By the way, the emoji option her above ain't working neither for me (Safari-user)

PROBLEM SOLVED - more or less... I unwired the Helix: disconnected the USB, guitar input and the stereo outputs. Then I turned it on and the Helix was healed. Next time this happens I will make a more analytic approach and disconnect the wires one by one (and turn the Helix down/on) to determine the connection that may cause this problem.... I hope this will happen soon, because I now I don't trust my Helix anymore.. Thanks all of you who gave me support! If I happen to know exactly what the problem was, I will quote it.

Thanks for your attention. Ik will do that!

If I press or touch any button, nothing happens. Neither when I use all the other knobs of the Helix. The Helix is completely lame. I can only reach it with Helix Native... I forgot to tell that it happened totally out of nothing. I was using the same (fabric) preset for already some days... Now I will try the fabric reset options (Thanks Guru!)

Nothing. Helix is completely unresponsive...

Thanks al lot, I 'll give it a trie

One year ago, more or less, I bought the Helix Floor. Unfortunately I got this unpleasant experience already a few times: I start the Helix and the label fields (the small displays) stay blanco, whereas the main display is functioning well. Of course the possibility this may happen when I have a gig makes me rather nervous... Anyone knows what to do? Regards, Frederik

Thank you for reacting! Some of you mention 'mag pickups', but I only know single coil - and humbucker pickups.... What do you mean with 'mag' ??!!

Hi fellow guitarists, I'm planning to buy a Variax guitar. But if Line 6 claims that all Variax guitar can simulate all electric guitars, then why should I bother about choosing a single coil or humbucker pick-up?

I'm sorry, but what do you mean with 'PM him'?

Hi fellow guitarists, Is it possible to get a good Fender Jaguar sound with a Variax guitar? (I' am planning to buy a Variax guitar...)
