Hi I did search for this but couldn't find the same bug. I have a preset with 4 snapshots. I created this from scratch in the Stadium XL software and copied the snapshot settings I created to 3 others in order to tweak them for lead, quiet, chorus etc. While changing drive settings for the amp block in the Stadium XL app, then saving the preset I noticed that no levels changed on the unit itself despite the snapshot obviously changing. I'll try and add a video. Stu

Morning Not a massive deal but copy and pasting a wah or gain block that has expression pedal latching etc from one preset to another results in the target blocks behaving very weirdly: the new blocks don't turn on with the toe down click on the expression pedal first time, but do the second time, but now the expression pedal is "off" and movement won't be registered. Deleting the pasted blocks and just creating new ones with the same switch assignments works fine. There you go.

I set mine to -19 and then for lead sounds -17. That was with my Helix. I'm working through the presets I use live now and I'm thinking now that I've been quite conservative with the settings on the Helix: running the main output with the control at 3 o'clock and then output blocks set as described earlier. I'm thinking of running the Stadium XL at -2dB on the outputs, and then balancing at -17, and -15 lead

... I would question this as this sounds like either speculation or a lie. My opinion is that the D10 won't be available until May 26 because it requires a lot of firmware to be written to support it. If it was just an "accept data from a Variax and power it" they would've been available from launch.

... on the Helix you could enable reverb and delay tails to "eliminate" the silence between presets. But you sacrificed the second line of blocks in all your presets to ensure there was enough processing power to handle these tails and switch in the new preset. I haven't got my Stadium yet (2 hours to go) but I'm assuming something similar will be available to enable.

If anyone is interested, I started a support request with Line 6 over this. I ended up sending presets to them, and making videos of the behaviour etc. In the end, their final response was this: ... so the "hack" outlined in this thread is a Line 6 approved method of fixing this behaviour! Mind you, I might prefer the two wah pedal method in point 1, if that actually works. I'll try tonight. Stuart

I have that setting as per preset. The position may stay when I change snapshot but the expression pedal selected doesn’t! looks like I’ll have to try your hack!

... I think this might come under the "things to try as a last resort" category!

... Snapshot Bypass is unticked / not engaged. That's why if I turn the wah on in one snapshot, and move to another, it remains switched on. My problem is with the active expression pedal changing when I change snapshot.

Hi I'm a long time user of Line 6 Helix yet I can't work this one out! I have a preset. It has a 4 snapshots, let's say Normal, Boost, Normal + Chorus, Boost + Chorus. I want to have a Wah pedal in this preset that reacts like a traditional Cry Baby (for instance) in that no matter what snapshot I'm on within that preset, I can use the toe switch to turn on and off the Wah, and have that state maintained whichever snapshot I move to, until I decide to turn it off, again with the toe switch. So, I have turned off Snapshot Bypass on the Wah, and it's set to react to Exp1 when turned on. All my snapshots are saved with Exp2 active, which does nothing. It's not volume, I've set it to do nothing at all. I'm in Normal snapshot with Exp2 selected (no wah). I press the toe switch: Wah turns on and expression pedal is now Exp1. I can play with wah. I use the toe switch and turn it off again. Nice. But ... I'm in Normal snapshot with Exp2 selected (no wah). I press the toe switch: Wah turns on and expression pedal is now Exp1. I can play with wah. I now select the Boost snapshot. The Wah pedal is still turned on, but the expression pedal is set back to Exp2 as that's how the snapshot is saved. The wah is active but I can't control it because Exp2 is active. I press the toe switch. The wah turns off and now Exp1 is active! Pain! I know I could auto trigger the wah by expression pedal position, but I want to do it all with the toe switch! Can I not tell the preset to maintain the current selected expression pedal selection (Exp1 or Exp2) when changing snapshots, like Snapshot Bypass Off? Thanks Stuart

So if anyone gets this, it turns out I had an IR that had a blank name. No idea how. But that broke the backup. Fine now. Cheers Stu

Hi all I think the title sums it up. My Helix floor is v2.92. I've updated HX Edit successfully to v3.0. I closed HX Edit, turned off my Helix floor, disconnected the USB cable from my Mac mini and Helix. Turned on the Helix, plugged USB back into the Helix, then the Mac, then started HX Edit. Tried to create a back ... the same thing: Any ideas on what to try next people? Cheers! Stuart

Hi I've had my Line 6 Variax bass 700 for a few years now and I use it everyday. I play through a Helix into a JBL 815 monitor. Recently (over the last couple of days) I was worried that the monitor was losing the bottom end due to its frequency response range. I compared my variax 700 through the monitor, set to emulate a Gibson Thunderbird via an amp model, to my Epiphone Thunderbird into a Trace Elliot 500W combo. There was definitely something muddy and squashy about the low E string. So then I ran my Epiphone Thunderbird through the Helix and into the JBL, and everything sounded lovely. So, doing a bit more testing, I've come to the conclusion that it's likely the pickup on my low E string on my variax bass is going "bad" in some way. So, my questions are: 1. Has this happened to anyone before? 2. Can I fix this myself, given I've got a spare Variax 6 string guitar lying around which I bought for spares? 3. Is there anywhere that can sort this for me if I can't do point 2, and how much? Thanks Stuart
