Did you do a factory reset before restoring from backup? If not, I'd try that. Hold down FS9 and FS10 while powering up. Then restore from your backup again.

There's no "y" in Spider... ;-)

It was released last week.

Even if anyone here knew, no one would be at liberty to share any information, anyway.

Do you have a backup created? If so, just do a factory reset - hold down ENC5 and ENC6 (the knobs under the screen) while powering up. Then do a Restore from Backup with HX Edit after it starts up.

You can close the Updater and restart it. You can force the LT into Update Mode by holding down FS6 and FS12 while powering it up. Updater should see it then. Make sure you don’t have any other Line 6 applications open while running Updater.

Did you close and restart Updater?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're wanting, but it seems that you'd be able to see what any given block was contributing by simply bypassing that block and comparing the sound with it bypassed and with it on.

Given the same input signal, they will have the exact same response. They're both using the exact same algorithms.

What did I say that was insulting?

There were no updates for the M9 that added any effects, so there's no reason it wouldn't be there. Are you sure you're looking in the right place? It should be in with the distortion/drive (yellow) effects, not the other pitch effects.

Respectfully, I don't want to debate here. If you think I'm wrong, that's OK. I don't believe I am, but I'm willing to being persuaded. None of the information in those threads posted above make much sense to me from a technical perspective. There could be something relatively exotic about these power amps, but I'd be surprised if that's the case. I've had and used all sorts of solid state amps over the years, and none of them cared about being powered up in a no load state.

There’s no need for that. It’s a chromatic tuner. Just tune to the actual note. If you want to tune to Eb, just lower the string pitch until the tuner starts sensing that pitch center.

If you want to change a parameter's value per snapshot, you have to assign it the Snapshot Controller (or any other controller).

You can just update to the latest version. It’s not necessary to install any intermediate versions.

Regarding the bypass volume, it's been said already, but you want to have the volume knob all the way up as a starting point. You also want to have the input and outputs set to instrument level. This will give you unity gain. I guess I'm assuming you're running the Stomp into an amp, as that's really the only setup where this comes into play. If you have the Stomp set to DSP Bypass, the volume between having blocks active and everything bypassed should be about the same, but it depends entirely on what you're doing with the blocks. It's, of course, possible to add a lot of gain with certain block. As far as bypassing everything, you can do what you're saying - create an empty preset. The other option would be getting an external footswitch and assigning it to the Bypass All function. The Stomp doesn't work like the Strymon 3-button boxes. With the Stomp you're essentially always in a preset. The only exception would be if you activate the Bypass All function (even then you're technically still in a preset, it's just you're bypassing it). The Stomp is a different beast than the Strymon pedals in that it's a true multi-FX pedal where you can create complex presets with multiple blocks. The Strymon pedals are always just using one effect. Another option is to look at using snapshots. You could create a snapshot where all the blocks are bypassed and access that somehow. There are really a bunch of ways to go about it.

What the FAQ is saying is that is if you connect the Spider IV head to the Spider IV cabinet, you have to do it in stereo. If you try to connect it mono, the total load will be 4 Ohms, which is too low for a single output jack. It doesn’t have anything to do with it being balanced. That doesn’t matter in a solid state amp. I’ve stereo power amps where only one side was connected a ton of times over the years. You just have to mindful of the minimum Ohm ratings of the jacks and th impedance of the cabs you’re connecting. Running one with no load connected just means the output will be zero.

Just select Helix Native from the middle pulldown box. https://line6.com/software/index.html

FYI, this issue has been fixed in the 2.82 firmware update that was released today.

The issue is that some active pickups don't like being connected to a TRS plug like the G10T uses. There are some that won't turn on (seems relatively rare). There are some that will exhibit a high-pitched squeal. And there are some that will work fine. Sometimes these issues can be solved by using the little TRS to TS adapter the G10T comes with. Sometimes they can't. I know that's not a definitive answer, but unfortunately there isn't a definitive answer without knowing some more information. What type of guitar/pickups are you using? You might want to check out this thread:

Honestly, it shouldn't be an issue with the Spider IV, either (and I don't see anything in the manual that warns against it). Solid state amps will be fine without a load connected. Perhaps you're thinking of the Spider Valve?

Did you not have any presets that you had created or saved yourself? If that's the case, all you have to do is do a factory reset. Hold down FS2 and FS3 while powering up.

You can't change the block type per snapshot. You can change parameters within blocks via snapshot, but you can't switch a block from, say, a Spring reverb to a Plate. If you have enough blocks and DSP, you can have multiple reverb blocks in a preset and toggle them per snapshot. That may not be a viable option with the Stomp, though.

What are you hoping to accomplish as far as polyphonic synth sounds go? I had the Enzo for a little bit, and it was very cool in many ways, but I got frustrated with it in a few areas. The first was that the secondary parameters aren't labeled, so I found myself constantly looking at the cheat sheet to remember what they did. The controls are fairly interactive, meaning that how you adjust one control can affect what the others are doing, so sometimes what seems like a minor tweak can have a major effect. It seemed that sometimes the space between having something usable and something completely over-the-top was very small. Finally, the MIDI implementation was just annoying. With no display to even show what preset was active, it's very hard to keep track of things. There's no way to see what settings are actually saved with a preset, so unless you want to do a lot of bookkeeping, using it with a MIDI rig can be difficult. It can be doable, I suppose, it you set your presets and don't want to ever change them. The other thing I found was that in polyphonic mode, you're really confined to using it for pad and swell type sounds for the most part. It just doesn't give you a natural sounding attack. So if you're wanting something that is organ-ish or even a fat poly synth, you'll probably find it difficult. I've not tried the C4, but it looks cool, and the samples sound good. It too has screwy MIDI implementation. You have to buy SA's $99 Neuro Hub to get MIDI into it. Again, you'd have the same sort of issue where it becomes something of a black box with MIDI. At least with SA, though, you'd be able to see the settings in your presets with their app. I don't know, I just feel like all these options have significant compromises and drawbacks. I wish someone would release a multi-synth pedal in a form factor similar to the Strymon TimeLine or Boss 500 (or even 200) series. Without having a display of some sort, managing multiple presets is just too tedious, imo.

It doesn't have to be hooked up in stereo. It can be hooked up in mono by using only the left speaker output. It doesn't bridge the outputs, but I do believe it will automatically sum the stereo signal to mono by only using the left output. There's no risk in only running one side of the power amp, though. If his cab can handle a stereo input, though, there's no reason to not use it.
