Hi all - I love my new Ltd Deluxe with the Fishman Open Core Classic pickups - but there seems to be an issues with my Helix and switching between snapshots. When I switch on my Helix say on a clean snapshot all is fine - nice clean PAF tones from the Fishmans. When I switch to a more distorted snapshot again all seems fine. But then if move back to the clean one all I get are very distorted, fuzzy tones. Anyone else experience this with active / Fishman pickups on their Helix or is there something wrong with mine? Thanks

My apologies up front for this response as it may be seen as off topic or sarcastic, none of which are intended - but why can't you use a real Capo? I love my LT but this sounds like trying to use tech for tech's sake when there is a perfectly good solution already available. Just a thought.

Just do a search on his name there are some there from 2016 https://line6.com/customtone/search/?submitted=1&family=ALL+PRODUCTS&search_term=seanhalley

Thank you - that fixed it and still have the trial period to test it out. Many thanks!

Yes that is what I did - Downloads, Helix Hardware, Native Software, OSX and all it gave me was the V1.0 option to download.

My new LT is on order and should be here next week which of course I'm very excited about. I've used Helix a lot in studios and with friends so know what I'm doing with it. I do a lot of work at home in the studio and so was intrigued to see how Native performed compared to what I know a floor unit can do. The only problem with this is that the version which pops up in my DAW is prehistoric and you can't update it - the Line 6 instructions say to look for the gear icon - well it's not there. I assume this is because it's the trial version - but come on Line 6: Not many people are going to write, mix, master and print an album in 15 days. Why can't we trial the current version of Helix we would invest in? What if I need to know if your Kinky Boost and Compressor give me the tone that my real units have? What if the whole point of this is to make it easy for me to add that perfect Analogman overdrive to my DI tracks I recorded last week? Sure I can set up the LT to re-amp everything or USB it into my DAW when I get it - but the whole selling point of the Helix promotion is so we get both of them right? So why don't you let us try it first?
