Hi, You have posted both of your questions into the wrong area of these Line 6 forums. This is specifically for OG Helix, and other HX family products. Issues, discussion, and questions regarding the new Stadium units should be posted to this section:- https://line6.com/support/forum/108-helix-stadium/ Hope this helps/makes sense. Good luck.

Hi, A picture is worth a thousand words. There are diagrams of how to hook up your HXFX for use in your amps effects loop, plus the 4 cable method on pages 9 and 10 of the HX Effects 3.80 Owner’s Manual, available from this link below. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afdbe673ccc8bdcf2d/application/pdf/HX Effects 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

As I stated previously - good luck with that, BUT seriously, do you expect any major reworking of the Helix firmware this far down the road (10 years in)? It seems they are rather busy with development of the new Stadium boxes. It should be noted that the hardware needs to be tethered via USB, and doesn’t have built in wireless, or BlueTooth capabilities. And, yes, I am aware that there are WIDI (wireless Bluetooth adapters), which are being used by many contributors to this forum, but once again, AFAIK, this only talks MIDI, and MIDI implementation on HX devices is fairly basic. Have fun. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I saw your previous post from earlier this year- Much as I can admire your dedication to creating an app, specifically for creating Helix presets, I have to ask - why? The reason HX Edit was never modified to run on mobile devices, was simply because the hardware needs to be physically connected over USB to audition the tones being created. If you can’t hear it, what’s the point? If this is aimed at people on the move, then they could simply note down possible preset ideas in any text app, or even use a pencil and paper. It seems like a lot of work for something that essentially appears unnecessary, as it still requires the use of HX Edit. Good luck. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, You might want to have a look at this video for some info on using IRs with your Stomp XL. Hope the helps/makes sense.

Hi, If you haven’t done so already - you might like to have a read through this:- https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afef2673cd2e8a197b/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide 3.80 - English .pdf It contains some useful stuff about hardware compatibility with Native. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, This is a OG Helix user to user forum. There are no Line 6 staff here and only very occasionally do they visit these forums - (See the “sticky comment” in the black banner stripe at the top of this page entitled “Welcome to the Line 6 forums”). You may be better posting into the dedicated Stadium section https://line6.com/support/forum/108-helix-stadium/

Hi, If you actually mean powered “studio” monitors, then I would definitely recommend the 3way Kali Audio IN-8 monitors. https://www.kaliaudio.com/independence I bought a pair of these about 18 months ago, to replace my old workhorse 8” Tannoy Reveal speakers. Outstanding! When you say “from Best to just good value”, then a lot of that is dependent on your budget and studio workspace. If you can work with a 5 inch speaker system then there are a huge amount of options, some of which can give the big names a run for their (your) money. Here’s a recent video of a blindfold test of a few examples done by Andertons. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Well, you got off to a really good start by actually being very controversial and extremely misinformed. The hardware remains unchanged, but the firmware has received plenty of updates. I bought my Helix floor way back in 2015, for what it could do then - which at that time comprised of 46 Amps, 30 Cabs, and 79 Effects. Since then we have had many FREE firmware updates, and Core operating system improvements, so that now at version 3.80, Helix is loaded with 103 amps, 41 cabs, and 241 effects. Yay! All FREE. You’re a little late to the Helix party, and especially after the recently released new flagship “Stadium” model, you decided to launch into a diatribe about how badly done by you feel after buying an earlier unit. It may have been useful to do some really thorough research into what exactly you were about to purchase. “Caveat emptor”. Me - I’m sticking with my Helix floor and Helix Native, which are used almost daily, and do exactly what I require. Are you sure you bought the correct tool to do the job. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, You didn’t mention if you have read through the manual which mentions Live Input Monitoring Through Helix Native Plug-in on page 10, and setting up Cubase on page 8. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afef2673cd2e8a197b/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide 3.80 - English .pdf Although, I’m a Logic user on a Mac with Helix floor as the USB interface without any issues. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, As you are just starting out, you might find it useful to download and read through the HX Stomp XL 3.80 Owner’s Manual. Page 40 covers IR lie reference. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afe12673ccd29b29f5/application/pdf/HX Stomp XL 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Heads up! Okay guys, I just managed to initiate a D/L of Native from the U.K. at 14:30 GMT, so I guess whatever was happening has cleared now. Hope this helps/makes sense.

It’s not complicated- from the menu at the top of this page select “DOWNLOADS”. On the next page click on “Choose Software” and select Helix Native from the drop down. Then from the “Choose OS” section, select you computer operating system - “Windows” - then click on the GO button. The next page shows the latest available version of Native, so you just need to click on the blue “GET DOWNLOAD” button and then follow the prompts. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, When weird stuff starts to happen without any reasonable explanation- perform a Factory Reset on the unit. HX Stomp/HX Stomp XL Button Combination Description Page > Update mode FS2 & FS3 Factory Reset FS1 & FS2 Reset Presets Upper & Lower Knobs Rebuild presets FS1, 2 & 3 Clear all presets/IRs/everything To use Reset Options: Power off the Helix Hold the desired button combination Power on the Helix Release the button combination Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi Jeff, What you have encountered here is not a question of “memory”, but more about how the DSP is allocated. Your Helix LT actually has 2 DSP chips available, which makes you better off than folks using single processor HX Stomp units - one chip runs the blocks on path 1A and 1B, the second does the same for path 2A and B. Some amp/fx models actually use far more DSP than others, but it’s not immediately obvious to the average user. Luckily, forum contributor Ben Vesco (Malhavok) has made quite a study of this stuff and has compiled a list, the latest version is available here:- https://benvesco.com/store/helix-dsp-allocations/ Hope this helps/makes sense.
