I discovered this week that Snapshot Bypass switch is opposite - in my opinion. To turn the Bypass on, you need to switch it to the LEFT. The state of the block will stay the same no matter what Snapshot you go to. Putting it to the RIGHT - towards the Snapshot Bypass label, Snapshots will control the block. To me, switching TOWARDS the label would mean it would bypass - not be affected by a Snapshot change.

Yeah, there are some things to work out, but it's been a major step up from the OG for me.

This might be the solution. Hit the block on the Helix Stadium XL twice, to show the menu. At the bottom of the list, slide the Snapshot Bypass to the right. I think that will fix you issue. I was dealing with this yesterday. The "switch" seems backwards to me - on - towards the Snapshot Bypass label - is off, off - away - is on.

It took me two restart cycles to get sound from my Helix yesterday. I've had it happen a couple of other times - both on gigs. One gig, I had to play direct to a HeadRush for a set.

I had a problem like this when I tried to use the Control C/D jack. To use the C/D jack for a switch, you need to change the C and/or D prarmeters from Ext Amp C/D (the default) to EXP In.

I've had a couple of boot problems. On a gig few weeks ago, I didn't have any volume. I rebooted it a couple of times and had to play bass straight into a HeadRush until the break, when it worked just fine. Yesterday, on a gig again, it kept rebooting and cycling through the X. Turned it off and it came back up as you'd expect. No problems after that.

I'm not sure if this is the exact answer, but I ran into something like this. Blocks weren't being turned on or off when changing Snapshots on a Preset I created. I tend to edit on the HSXL I've found the current editor version a bit buggy, and the HSXL is so easy to work on. On the HSXL, if you touch the Block you want to control, at the bottom of the Action Menu, there is a Snapshot Bypass switch. Switch that to On. From the Manual: Adjust the preset by doing one or more of the following: Turn one or more effects on or off by pressing stomp mode footswitches or tapping their bypass icon . Snapshots remember every block’s on/off state You can disable this behavior per block: Tap the selected block to open the Action Panel, then tap the Snapshot Bypass toggle OFF. When off, the block’s bypass state won’t change when switching snapshots.

The latest version for the Helix Stadium XL is more buggy than the original Editor, but I'm editing on the Helix Stadium XL all the time. It's way more user-friendly than the Helix OG. And, I don't get to a gig and wonder how to do something on the XL like I did with the Helix OG. I spent so much time with the Helix OG editor because it was the best workflow, that I didn't know how actually work the Helix without a computer. They were that different. The Helix Stadium XL is definitely a step up in sound and usablility.

I had this happen on a gig. I played bass direct to a HeadRush for a set, and Helix Stadium XL worked the rest of the night. Don't know why it was silent.

Thanks so much for your concise direction! Now that I know what I'm looking for, I found it, kind of buried, in the online manual. I must not have used the right AI queries when searching this issue out. However, for those of us familiar with using two EXP1 pedals on a Helix Floor, this is how the HF interfaced with EXP pedals - two plugs, two cables, two pedals, learn controllers - done. I'd recommend a change of default for C/D because others will be trying to apply the same, learned process to implement two EXP controllers.

True

The manual isn't clear on a reinstall. It only tells you to use Helix Stadium Edit, and that is only for updates. I just reinstalled my firmware by using Line 6 Central.

Try this to see if your Stadium is working. My problem seems to be a hardware issue at this point - unless it can be fixed in a future firmware update. I wonder if others have the same issue. I have two EXP1 pedals. To troubleshoot the problem, I went to an Empty preset and inserted a Simple Delay block. The Mix parameter was able to learn the EXP controllers in any combination of the two pedals and two cables. On Control C/D, nothing. I ordered a 1/4" 3-Male TRS to 2 Mono Y adapter. Both Pedals work and are learned on A and B - Mix and Feedback, but nothing on C/D. I did a firmware reinstall with Line 6 Central, and it didn’t fix the problem.

To reinstall the Helix Stadium firmware, the user manual directs you to use Helix Stadium Edit, and that's only for updates. You need to use Line 6 Central to reinstall firmware.

A picky request, but I'd like the sidebar to re-open to it's last width instead of having to stretch it wider each time.
