It sounds like your posts are stuck in an automated filter rather than being manually rejected. Many forums use strict spam protection that flags new accounts if they include links, images, or certain keywords. Because you are a new member, the system might be overly cautious, and unfortunately, if the moderators are inactive, Bazoocam, your helpful advice stays hidden. This is frustrating when you simply want to contribute to the community. You aren't doing anything wrong; the platform's settings are likely the issue. To fix this, try posting a very short reply without any links or formatting to see if it goes through instantly. If it still fails, the forum might be unmanaged. In that case, you might find more active discussions on Reddit or dedicated gear groups where your expertise will be appreciated.

It is great to hear you fixed your volume pedal! Many players struggle with connection issues, and your tip about checking the spring contacts inside the amp-side jack is very helpful. Physical wear on these connectors often causes signal loss, Bazoocam, and a simple realigned contact can save someone from buying a replacement. Your technical advice on testing the voltage is also spot on. Measuring 5V across the outer pins confirms that the pedal is receiving the necessary power from the amplifier. This simple multimeter test helps determine if the problem lies in the cable or the internal circuit board.

To solve this, you should separate your signals at the source. Instead of "daisy-chaining" through your speaker, run two independent cables from your Helix. Connect the XLR Left output directly to the Front of House (FOH) mixer. Then, connect the 1/4" Left output to your Headrush FRFR112. This ensures the sound guy gets a steady signal while you have your own dedicated feed for the stage. Next, go into your Helix Global Settings and set the volume knob to control "1/4" only." This keeps the XLR signal at a constant level for the mixer regardless of your tweaks. Now, you can freely turn your Helix knob or the volume on the Headrush to hear yourself better without changing what the audience hears Ome TV. Most players use this "split" method to keep sound engineers happy.

It sounds like your Line 6 JM4 Looper is suffering from "ghost editing." This happens when the internal part of the volume knob, called a potentiometer, becomes dirty or worn out. Even a tiny bit of dust or oxidation inside can create "jitter," making the pedal think you are turning the knob when you aren't. This interrupts your playing because the software prioritizes knob movements over foot commands, which is why your recording and playback are freezing up. To fix this, try spraying DeoxIT (an electronic cleaner) into the base of the knob and turning it vigorously. If that fails, you need a replacement 10k Ohm linear potentiometer. You can find these at electronics parts stores like Mouser or Full Compass. Any technician can solder a new one in for you. Since this is a common issue with older Line 6 gear, Ome TV, a new part should make the pedal feel brand new again.

When leveling your HD500 patches for the DT series, using the Mixer block is a smart way to manage volume without changing the preamp's natural gain character. Since the Hiway-100 is your quietest model, setting it as your maximum "ceiling" ensures you won't clip the signal when matching louder amps like the Treadplate. This creates a safe, consistent baseline for home testing and prevents sudden, CooMeet, painful volume spikes. To improve your results, try to balance the levels while the DT power amp is at a moderate volume. If you find the Mixer settings aren't enough, you can also use the Channel Volume on the amp model itself. This control acts like a master fader for that specific patch and does not alter the tone or distortion. Keeping your levels consistent now will save you time and protect your hearing during future rehearsals.

This issue usually happens because of a slight delay in digital communication between your Helix and Powercab. When you switch presets, the Helix sends a command via the L6 Link cable to change the speaker model. For a tiny fraction of a second, CooMeet, the Powercab defaults to its "Flat" or maximum volume setting before the new instructions arrive. This brief gap creates that annoying loud burst of sound. It is a known quirk in how the two units talk to each other during the handshake process. To fix this, try adjusting your Global Settings on the Helix. Ensure your L6 Link Volume is balanced with your main output. Some users find success by setting the Powercab to a specific "User Preset" rather than letting the Helix block define every parameter instantly. You can also try lowering the channel volume on your Helix patches and raising the physical volume on the Powercab to minimize the impact of the jump.
