I am an old schooler... Have you used modelers before? Are you computer savvy? Is it as simple in a live gig situation as it is reported to be? Maybe, once you learn the ins and outs of the Helix. The Helix has a LOT going on. There is a learning curve and it is going to be a steep one if you don't have any experience with modelers and/or you are not computer savvy. ...we tune a half step down which makes my B string a little floppy... can I stay in standard tuning and have the unit transpose down No

I would like to know this also. Along with all the other technical specs. I have searched, but, have never found the complete technical specs published.

I'm thanking you now. Amazing! Just do it.

I meant searching the Owner's Manual.

Agreed, it is a little overwhelming. I find myself going back to it regularly, to find stuff. The search function works great.

If you are trying to do this from within one Preset, using Snapshots will accomplish exactly what you want to do. Or you can use a separate Preset to switch between channels on the amp. If using Snapshots, set Snapshot 1 (you can rename it anything you want) to switch to Channel 1 on the amp, set Snapshot 2 to switch to Channel 2 on the amp, Snapshot 3 to switch to channel 3 on the amp, etc. You would set the Program Message (27 for Snapshot 1 for example) for each Snapshot.

The easiest way would be to place your tuner before the Helix. If you have a favorite pedal or rack tuner and wish to use it instead of the Helix tuner, connect Send 1, 2, 3, or 4 to your tuner's input and turn Knob 2 (Tuner Out) to select that Send. This way, every time you hold the TAP footswitch, Helix will automatically route the signal to your favorite tuner. It's amazing what you can find in the Owner's Manual

That GPA1003 looks pretty sweet, but, it looks like you'd have to raise the back of the Helix to be able to plug the cables in. Anybody using one of these with their Helix? The price is right.

Absolutely. It's a great way to tweak settings. And you can switch Presets while the loop is running (some conditions apply).

I'm not sure this will help, but, this is all I got. I do not have any trouble getting good volume from the XLR outputs. I have the XLR outputs set to Mic level feeding into a XR18 mixer. The channel gain on the mixer is set at +15. The channel dBFS runs between -18 and -16, nominal. I find that the volume levels on the stock presets are all over the board, so, I have to adjust the loud ones down to a useable level. If this is the hundredth time you have brought this topic up and have not found a solution, it is way past time to open a ticket with L6 support.

On Mac, hold the Option key, as you would push and hold the knob on Helix, while making the adjustment. You will see the brackets appear.

This is an excellent video, as are all of Richie C's videos. HIGHLY recommended. Go to YouTube and search "Richie Castellano". Watch them all. They are great.

At the top left side of the Editor screen is a Snapshot symbol and a pull down list. You can change Snapshots and edit the Snapshot names there.

Have you looked at the stock Templates? I don't recall the names of the Presets, but, there are Templates in the Helix Templates for using multiple amps.

You will only get the discount if the previous owner didn't use it. You'll have to check with Line 6 to see if that serial number is eligible for the discount.

Interesting. Didn't know that. Do you get it back at the merge?

Just be sure you set the MIDI Global preference. Set Helix MIDI Global Settings by going to Menu Button > Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo > MIDI PC Send (Page 2) > Off Here is a link for using MIDI switching with a JVM. I'm not familiar with the Mesa, you probably have a matrix for PC messages, with message numbers, rather than having the amp "learn" the PC message number like the JVM.

Very nice. I particularly like the mic stand mount.

That is not accurate. Snapshots working perfectly fine with MIDI.

If you are feeding the two amps/cabs with a "Y" split, you are hearing the signal going through both paths at the same time (parallel). You should be using an "A/B" split. Set A 100% to path A and set B 100% to path B.

+1

Ok, sorry, I guess I'm not understanding.

I've not used this effect, but, you would need stereo out either from 1/4" L and R or XLR L and R.

Some like it on. Some like it off.

Try not using any cabs or IRs. Maybe just a preamp.
