Hey Everyone, My amp guy finished modding my JCM800, its tone is unbelievable!! So i showed him the issue with the DSL2000. So he said the exact same thing about using a relay box he will build for me that will use an adapter so i wont need to switch out batteries. As soon as he checked the grounding on all my 4CM jacks on the Helix, while they were plugged in the pedal, he knew exactly what Helix should have done. I dont remember all the terminology, but he said the relay box will work for both my Marshall Heads and he will build me two so i don't have to tote it around to both my band practice places. thanks for all the Excellent advice and knowledge. Greatly appreciated! cheers Rick

The Switch that came with the amp works fine without causing the added hum. Was hoping to switch the channels of the amp using the Helix to do it using snapshots so i can simultaneously change the channel with specific FX seamlessly. For live playing Cheers

Im not having a problem with the 4 cable method. (mine is set to line level) This is a external amp-channel changing issue using the Expression pedal 2 jack to switch channels on my Marshall. The Loud humming only happens when plugging the cable into the amp controller jack, using a regular guitar cable or a TRS cable. This problem happens without the 4 cable method hook up as well.

Good day folks. I Finally upgraded to a Helix LT from (HD500X). It is a mind blowing incredible pedal. I do have to sort out an issue that me and a friend, whom both have the same (Older) Marshall amp and same Helix pedal. We both are using this pedal with the 4CM and using a modeled clean tone. Now that we have the Helix and the ability to use snapshot mode we also want to utilize the clean channel of the Marshall by changing amp channel with the helix using the EXP pedal 2 jack. It works no problem changing the Channels but when plugging in the cable you instantly get a loud hum. We tried everything and googled it extensively. As far as we can tell it is also a problem with both the Helix and the (Axe FX units) with older amps. We tried a new DSL combo, it does not hum when using the Helix to switch channels. Talking to my amp tech he needs to meter the Helix jack for continuity and he thinks its either a ground loop or something affecting the switching matrix in the Head. Each jack on the DSL is a standard tip to sleeve short. But it is referenced to the chassis. When he comes into town this weekend he is going to trouble shoot it for me. I'm just curious if anyone else is having this issue on older amps? Has anyone had an amp tech fix the humming issue? Any help or incite will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rick

Thanks hurghanico! Do you know off hand if they ship to Canada? Or would you happen to know of a Canadian supplier? any help will be greatly appreciated! not sure why, but can’t find a canadian supplier when i search cheers Rick

Good day ppl. I have two Hd500X pedals, one for home recording and one i use the other live and and at rehearsal. Live and at practice i use the 4CM. I was rehearsing last night and 3/4" through the night i switched from bank 7A to 9A, started playing and a minute it (automajically) switched to the tuner. I got the band to stop. I so i looked down and hit the 'A' button and 3 seconds later while looking at it, it did it before my eyes and switched to the tuner again, then it went to 9A, then &a, then tuner, without even touching the (up and down) bank buttons. So I unplugged it and hoped that a reboot would fix it, but it keep switching to the tuner on its own. Plugged it in today and it is just doing the switching to the tuner by itself.... All drivers etc are fully up to date according to Line6 Monkey. Im gonna try contact cleaner on on all the buttons and work them for a good cleaning, but am going See if anyone else has experienced anything like this first. Has anyone ever encountered this? Thanks in advance Rick

There are many cheap or free recording softwares to install on your p.c. and simple to use. I use the oldest version of cakewake for working tracks to send to my band mates. i just bring the .mp3 to a track of its own then jam along to it, recording my guitar. on another track

Good Day Everyone. Been recording with my pedal successfully for years using the USB out on the pedal. Need to start recording using a 2nd DI box track but have not purchased one or small interface yet. I have an older P.C. with no capture card. Just USB and the standard 1/8" audio and video jacks Can you record your tone track and a separate plain tone track simultaneously to two tracks(on your recording software) from the line 6 pedal using just the USB out? If not Opt#1(without DI box) just interface Is it possible you can send the tone signal via (1/4" out) to an interface, then send a separate signal via (XL out) to the interface, then to the P.C to record on two different tracks? Or will i have to buy both the Interface and the DI box to accomplish this? Any incite will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rick

Not following?? I went to filter/ voice box, tweaked it...... Didnt sound the Greatest So I tried it with a flanger tweaked it, use moderate Settings on my way pedal and it doesn't sound too Bad. I do see the vocoder, I'll mess with that see how it sound Without the flanger Thanks Rick

perfect! Thanks :)

Hi all, hop every one is doing swell! I have a gig on Saturday and a song that we cover by Motley Crue, kickstart my Heart he uses a voice box. I just do the best i can with a few effects and a strong wah pedal Does anyone know of an effect that may sound close to the voice box? thanks in advance Rick

For $1500, I hope this is the be all end all! http://line6.com/helix/?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonuKrJZKXonjHpfsX97%2BgpXLHr08Yy0EZ5VunJEUWy2YcFSdQ%2FcOedCQkZHblFnV0KTK25Xq4NrqcF

Hi guys. Sorry for the late reply. I was able to try using the effect level to boost up my lead channel. Both the send and return were defaulted to zero Wow, what a volume explosion! Thank for the help, you guys are awesome Cheers Rick

Hello everyone. I am using HD500X and the 4 cable method with a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 I have been struggling with my ignorance on how to control the master output from each channel. But Struggle I mean I have no clue how to do it. :) So from scratch, to make it easy ,say i have my favorite rhythm channel 'A' and copy it to the next channel 'B'. I cant for the life of me figure out how to make the b(lead) channel louder. also struggling with the noise gate, should it be in the left or right side of the screen as being on the left if does not seem to be that affective. thanks in advance Rick

i am gonna mess with that for sure, I am gonna try dropping the wah and see if thats all it needs. I dont need it for this particular song. I was doing it wrong and only diabling them. :bonk:
