Did you open a support ticket?

Yeah, I haven't been able to use it since the latest update unfortunately. I reached out to support and they had me perform a factory reset but as soon as I try and restore any of my presets then the issue comes back. This latest update has been pretty rough. But, I am hoping they have a hotfix coming out soon.

I may try and update the firmware again via usb just to see if that will fix the issue (just reinstall it). But, this is quite worrisome for playing anything live.

I have rebooted the stadium after this happened. I can recreate the issue with my presets as well just by booting it up and then switching between specific presets I have. No sound coming from the unit and matrix mixer shows sound graph (the green leds that would usually show a signal) but they are all at the same half way level with no sound coming out and not input from the guitar. If I reboot, everything comes back and I get normal sound again and normal input readings. I then play for a little bit, and then swtich presets and it happens again over and over again. I am opening a support ticket as well but was wondering if anyone else has had issues with this one? It's a pretty bad bug and makes me nervous about playing this live right now.

Does it save the looper recording after you turn off the device? Or is it just temporary.

Well, the stadium has brought me back from Quad Cortex. I am loving the stadium with its new focus view and workflow! Great update Line 6 team!!! Had a quick wishlist of items for future updates when you guys catch your breath from this release: Agoura Amp Wishlist PRS MT100 or MT15 (either one would be a great high gain amp addition) JP2C Amp Ability to Record Quickly on the Device With the new showcase and paperclip function coming soon it just makes sense to allow us to record something very quickly on the device itself without having to have it plugged into a computer and open up a daw. I know Eric has mentioned he doesn't want this to become a daw inside of helix. I get that, but, on the other hand - My argument would be "why not a small recorder"? I found myself in this position just yesterday. I had a small idea which I wanted to capture quickly before I forgot it. I had to locate my usb cord, plug it in, turn on my computer, put in my password, then finally launch the daw, oh - then it prompted me for an update, then I had to create a new session, add a new track, record arm enable the track and finally........hit the record button. Just to capture a thirty second idea. It would have been "much" easier to just hit a button on my Helix that brought up a small 4-8 track recorder and then hit the record button to capture it real quick and then I could always transfer it over to my mac later into a daw. Or, imagine you are setting things up for band practice and you have an idea before everyone else is ready. It would be great to be able to quickly hit a record button to capture that idea and perhaps add another track with the lead guitar underneath it or something. It just makes sense and I hope they would build something like this in the near future. Don't need a full blown daw inside of Helix. But, a smaller version of one to record ideas would be an ideal workflow improvement. Focus View Preferred Option So, I "love" the new focus view. I want to stay in it but don't have a real good way of doing so. If I pull up an amp, tap on the focus view, I have no way of navigating to the next device on the chain. I have to tap the home button, then tap on next device in the chain, then tap on its focus view setting. Same thing if I am adding a new amp or adding an effect to a chain. I have to tap to add in the device, then tap the focus view to bring it up, etc. I had an idea where there would be (in the settings) a new UI area. In that area, it would have a toggle that says "Prefer Focus View". If checked, this would automatically bring up the focus view on the amp when switching to a new preset. It would also bring up focus view automatically when adding a new amp or device to the signal chain. Pressing home would just take you to the main amp in focus view mode (pressing home a "second" time would then take the user to the timeline). You would add Next and Prev buttons to the focus view area which would allow the user to go to the next or previous device on the chain (see screenshot attached). Nexus Expansion Device Idea A great expansion device idea would be to have the "D11" that could be an add-on that would be add in 4 headphones amplifier and include the adat like the D10 does. What this would do is add 4 more headphone mixes for band members that could then control their mixes within the Helix for band practices. Bonus points if the D11 "Pro" was sold as a small pack which added 4 small boxes that each band member could have volume controls for the channels being sent (e.g. For the vocalist: the 4 volume controls on the box would control their mic, control the volume for the guitar, bass and drums). Additional bonus points for allowing us to "lock" a single preset designated to a single channel while still being able to change my own presets on the guitar. For example, I would bring up the mixer view, then add a preset called "Vocal Chain" to the vocals. But, still be able to go to different presets for my guitar that would not affect the vocals. Obviously, may have to limit what effects could be added to that vocal chain effect and only "lighter" effects could be used and choices would have to be severely limited. But, it would be cool to have. Again, these are just some ideas. Hopefully, some of these will be implemented? Looking forward to future updates.

I am wanting to purchase Metallurgy as I absolutely love the new sounds of it and the ease of use (and the excellent UI!!) but, I feel frozen by the fact that I am also a Helix (and helix native) owner. Are they just going to release the new cabs or presets for the Helix unit? Am I just going to waste my money on this plugin only to find out in a few months I can download it on my Helix? Trying to decide but this one is hard. Any advice?

I agree. I would also like to see this in a future update. How do we submit requests to the Line 6 development team? It would be great to see on the display: 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 031 Instead of the way it is now.

Hello - I was debating on purchasing a Morley Mark Tremonti Wah pedal. However, before I purchased it I was wondering if the Helix would happen to have a wah pedal in it that might sound similar or very close to the same kind of pedal? I looked at the comparison tables online for the types of wah pedals that it does have and none of them mentioned the Morley (or perhaps I missed it). I was wondering if anyone had any luck with the built-in wah capabilities of the Helix? Thanks!

Thank you! Someone else from another community just posted the patches for me to download. If they work ok, I will come back here and post up a link in case anyone else would want them in the future as well. Thanks!

Just got a new Helix LT today :) I’ve noticed that the same patches that I found on the Stomp, are not on the LT for some reason? I thought they were supposed to be the same and that the LT had more (which is what the sales guy told me). However, I can’t find those presets as well as the acoustic sims. Is there a place I can download all of the HX Stomp presets onto my Helix? Thanks!
