I've just checked this (I've got a HX Stomp with a power supply) The Helix, Helix Lt, Helix Rack and Helix Control can be PAT tested as they have an internal power supply. (They have a 240v power cable going into them.) Be very careful which test you apply as a PAT Tester can deliver some harmful voltages to electronic equipment.

Thanks datacommando, i'm fretting right now and sorting out presets.

I had the power switch break once on my Pod XT, luckily Line 6 in the UK repaired it.

Great info' many thanks.

Hi On a daily basis is it best to use the power switch to turn the unit on and off or. leave it on and switch the power suplly on and off ? I ask this as the power switch does seem a bit tiddly and wonder if it last the test of time.

OK Thanks. I've just bought my unit sp i'm trying to understand everything.

Hi The power supply says 3A which is quite a heavy load. Does the HX Stomp actually draw 3 amps or is the power supply a higher rating than necessary ?

Which Les Paul do you have ? I had a Les Paul Studio which i could never get a decent clean sound from. I sold it and now have a Les Paul Traditional which sounds OK Remember these amp modellers are like amps. If your guitar sounds bad you'll get something that's louder bad.

Is it for live or studio ? The nearest i've got is by using a Strat' (Neck pick up) with something like the jazz amp or no amp at all. As pianoguyy says try some reverb to suit

Thanks, Great info' you've given there. I've ordered a Helix Stomp as it does everything i need. I'll have to look out of the window for 2 days now waiting for the delivery.

Cancel the last post. I'm going to buy the Stomp. The Pod Go can't do 2 paths. Thanks for all the comments.

Hi, I'm niot sure whether to buy a Pod Go or a Helix Can Pod Go do 2 seperate paths like my Pod HD ? I've looked but can only see videos using 1 path

Thanks for the input guys, i'm deffo going to get something new. I now have new dilemma. I only use Amps, Cabs, EQ, Noise gate and maybe delayn and only ever play into a pc. So. would a Helix stomp have a better tone than a Pod Go ? I've only just heard of the Pod Go

Which Helix is the same as the kidney shaped desktop Pod HD ?

That's sounds like the problem i've always had since the V2. Many thanks for the info' i'll start looking now.

Thanks, My Les Paul is a Traditional but i don't fancy taking it apart. It's the basic amplifier / speaker tones i use most often. I've always fiddled with the Pod HD which is not good. I'm sure my Pod 2 has more pleasing tone than the HD that's why i'm thinking of trying a Helix.

Hi, I'm debating buying a Helix. So, is it that much better than my Pod HD ? If so, in what way ? I'm trying to get a Peter Green tone, if there's anyone that could help it would be appreciated. I have a Stray, Tele, and a les Paul. Regards AD

Thanks daveny5, have you tried one that works OK ? I've seen people struggling midi/usb in Windows10

Hi I need a USB to Midi adaptor/ cable that works with Windows 10 and my Pod 2 Is there anyone can tell me which one to buy as i'm guessing there's loads that will not work.

Hi When i'm playing the HD Bean after a few minutes the volume gets lower and lower. The quickest work round is to press A,B,C, or D to slect another patch and then do the same to get back to the original again. Any ideas to stop the volume fading please.

Thanks BillBee I'll spend some time over the next few days trying out different things.

Guess i'll have to learn how to play. My work round is i've found a good limiter plug in that i've inserted in the input channel of Cubase. Works a treat. I've fiddled with the Comp's but to no avail. Thanks for the input guys.

I did and think they're good for what i want. The thing is what do you want ? I'm using clean patches for recording so, the extra AC30 fawn and Fender champ is great as is Pete Anderson Custom. The answer is do you really need them ?

I'm playing a clean rythm for recording but i notice because i'm heavy handed there are spikes in volume. I'm after suggestions to try and stop the peaks (Like a brickwall Plug in). I've headed over to the compressors but can't find a good setting without boosting the quieter sounds.

Thanks i'm treading carefully at the moment just using the tube comp I'll try the red comp in the future
