There is a solution for this, but depending on the quality of your gear it can affect the sound quality slightly. Get a DI box with a ground lift, and go from the Stomp out to the DI box, then to the mixer/speakers. Problem solved. I have had to use this with external USB audio interfaces getting processor whine. It works, but a high quality DI box is best- otherwise you will suffer a very slight degradation of sound quality.

Yes with the Stomp you could have an IR along with a legacy dual cab before the update, i have several patches where I was trying to create stock what the IR was doing for sharing purposes.

@SaschaFranck this makes sense logically, i hope its not the case tho. @zolko60 marketing mumbo jumbo....would they dare? It would be fantastic if they were able to work this out in future updates for the Stomp. Its rare to see this kind of truly functional update for a piece of hardware that is already aging, I guess we will just have to hope they work a few more miracles. Ive mostly just used IRs because the results with the legacy cabs have been less than stellar, so I was excited to see how good the new ones were, but so far, none of my experiments have been able to get to the quality level of the IRs. This is why i was trying to do an IR and the new Duals in the first place, to quickly compare, recreate & share. I suppose ill just have to do it on the PC in Native with the limits turned off. Still it would be nice to have an official answer from Line6- either "this is never going to happen" or "yes we are working on that"

The new 3.50 update says that the new cabs and IRs will use 66-80% less DSP. Yet on HX Stomp I cannot have a 1024 IR and a new Dual Cab in the same patch. Legacy Duals and IRs work fine, so how is it that the new Dual Cabs that "use less DSP" not work in tandem with an IR?? I feel like i have gained and lost function at the same time here.

For a hardware device, backup before update is required-no way around that. However if its the Helix Native software as a plugin in a DAW, there is hope. I updated mine to 3.15 and panicked because my setlists and presets went back to factory default, but as soon as i opened a recent session of Ableton Live, they all magically reappeared. Somehow the DAW remembered everything in that session, even the ALL the settings in Helix Native, and from that point forward even new instances remembered them too. So with the hardware, like the Stomp or Helix Floor, you GOTTA make regular backups with HX edit, or suffer the consequences.
