Yeah, it would appear that everyone is of the same opinion that something new is just over the horizon. Bring it on!

Is that it? Well, whadayano! @HelixRackMan (gsmanon) - it seems that you even got the attention of young Mr. Cordy over on that YouTube thing. Hmm…

Hi, I’m not entirely sure that I understand what you are doing, but from your description it would appear that there is a single guitar input which is being processed to produce both guitar and bass sounds. If that is the case, my guess is that after the guitar signal enters the Helix it is then split into 2 separate paths. You could try adding the Looper before the split, then once you have the loop captured and you switch to playback both the looped and non-looped signal splits as normal to produce bass and guitar at their designated outputs. If it is actually more complex than your original post, please provide more details. Note: The onboard looper is not exactly designed to be a “performance” looper, I have several external dedicated loopers suitable for various applications. It might be worth investigating the outboard options. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hello. I just bought a new line 6 helix LT in a store. I want to register it but I don't know where I can find the serial number. On the back there are 2 barcodes but I don't think that's it. Can you tell me where I can see the serial number to register the product. Thank you Hello, The serial number should be the one below the 2 barcodes on the back of your Helix LT. The clue is the number you require is the one that starts SN: (XX) Hola, El número de serie debe ser el que se encuentra debajo de los 2 códigos de barras en la parte posterior de su Helix LT. La pista es el numero que requieres es el que comienza con SN: (XX)

Hi, Your M-Audio EXP needs to be assigned in each preset where a Wah pedal block is in the signal path. When you change from one Preset to another your HX LT doesn’t automatically know that you are using an external pedal to control the wah block. It expects that it will be using the built in pedal. Highlight the wah block and then select the “Hamburger” menu button to the right of the “Save” button. Next press knob 2 to select Controller Assign and scroll to EXP2. Now your external pedal should be working your Wah effect. Also note: you will need to reset the controller every time you change the wah model. For example if you assign a Weeper model to EXP2, then swap to a Chrome model you need to reassign the EXP2 controller. Lots of useful info in here: https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afd86673ccb96424d9/application/pdf/Helix LT 3.80 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

This is starting to become tedious - please check other posts in the forum for a solution before staring yet another “Update bricked my Helix”. NOTE: HX Edit cannot connect to a HX device that is in a “Failed State”. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yep, from what I understand that’s the case, and I found what seems to be a good explanation of why it’s not controlled by an external knob. Check here, in post #11 from GreatGreen. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/evh-5150iii-should-i-get-a-100w-if-i-have-the-50w.2466494/ Hope this helps/makes sense.

Dunno? Maybe you should ask the EVH manufacturer, because what makes it weirder is the 80w, 50w head, plus the 50w and 40w combo, even the 2x12 combo, all have a resonance control.

In that case you are WRONG! The real world 5150 III DOESN"T have a resonance control knob onboard - but the 5150 IIIS does! From the addendum of the manual available on https://www.evhgear.com/support/product-manuals ADDENDUM: All functions and features of the EVH 5150 III 100S are identical to the EVH 5150 III, except for the items and part numbers included in this addendum sheet. A. RESONANCE — Adjusts the low frequency response for each channel respectively. B. ADJUST BIAS and BIAS TEST POINTS — NOT USER SERVICEABLE. These features should only be used by an authorized service technician to adjust the bias of the amplifier tubes. The Line 6 are based on the 5051 III 100 amplifier NOT the 100S.

Depends which one you mean - the older PV Panama (5150) model does have a dedicated Resonance parameter. I'm not wrong...

...and then what happens?

Hi, You didn't say what your anticipated budget would be for this xmas treat? Unless to you are considering getting into home recording sometime in the future, it looks as if you are talking yourself out of this Helix Native option when you consider what you will need to use it, how you envisage. First up - Helix Native - great if you can get it at the discount price. Next in order to get your guitar to communicate with HXN and your computer - Audio Interface (lots of options, your decision). Something to listen to your Native noodling on - pair of 4 or 5 inch studio reference monitors (once again, lots of options, your decision). Then, if you are wanting it to function in a similar manner to a floor unit - some sort of MIDI controller for switching duties. Expression pedal(s) for Vol and Wah FX - hmm... requires something a bit more specialised by way of MIDI functionality as this stuff is usually automated from within a DAW. Simplest solution for your situation (small apartment) - grab a pre-owned Helix LT, and a decent pair of headphones. This gives you a USB programmable dual DSP box, foot switches, EXP pedal and no noise disturbance. Add it all up and see which wins. Hope this helps/makes sense

Hi, In an attempt to save lots of typing- watch this for an insight to using 4CM with the HX Stomp. Hope this helps/makes sense.

As the “Update Bricked My Helix” topic seems to be eternal it may be time to repost a link to this thread, which always seemed to be the best solution. Simply substitute the current version numbers for every reference and away you go! Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Have you tried using this updated version of HX Edit. HX Edit 3.81 (released November 20, 2024) addresses the issue on Apple silicon computers where some global settings were not properly restored from a backup file. Please copy and paste or open this link in a browser of your choice to view the full 3.80 release notes. Compatible OS: Mac OS X, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia Hope this helps/makes sense.

REGARDING THE 3.80 UPDATE What would be really cool is - rather than pi$$ing and moaning, and having a total toddler tantrum, about not getting the stuff you would like in a free update - how about a big thank you to the people at Line 6 for keeping up the great work. Thank you - to all the Line 6 staff. I wonder what would have happened if the OP had posted his comment over on TGP. Thrown to the wolves, no doubt! That would have been fun.

Hi, According to the Release Notes, regarding any new factory presets. OPTIONAL: Performing a factory reset loads the new 3.80 Factory Presets, but restoring from your backup will overwrite these. Spend some time exploring these and export the factory presets you want to keep (or drag them to your desktop). If you have unused setlists in Helix Floor/Rack/LT, you can also export the entire FACTORY 1 bundle for loading into an unused setlist later Remember- Always work on a copy!

Hi, You may want to read this:- Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hmm… The 3.80 promo email which I received actually states: - “3.80 firmware finally delivers the missing link with six of the most requested amp channels and four unique cabs.” How does that equate to not taking on board user requests - unless, of course, you mean the ones that you specifically wanted? You also say - “There's no reason to assume that 3.8 couldn't have been similarly groundbreaking, especially given the elapsed time”. It would appear that you seem to think the team at Line 6 have been sitting around twiddling their collective thumbs. You must have slept through the release of the HX One and the POD Express, during the last year. They have not exactly been idle, plus Line 6 never reveal what they are working on, or give a timescale for delivery of whatever new products they have in the pipeline. Who knows? Version 3.90, or v.4.00, or Helix 2 may be right around the corner, laden with a plethora of exotic gizmos. I mentioned previously that I bought my Helix way back in 2015 with version 1.00 Installed complete with 46 Amp, 30 Cab, and 79 Effect models. I bought it for what it could do then, not expecting the 19 gratis updates, which means Helix now stands at 112 Amp, 81 Cab and 274 FX models installed. I don’t have any reason to complain. Oh, yeah - Previously, the v3.10 update had only one amp and five effects. Didn’t hear you complaining then - maybe you weren’t bothered enough to gripe at the time.

Confusing, because as you are already aware, the D/L page for HX Edit states:- Compatible OS: Mac OS X, macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, macOS Ventura, macOS Sonoma, macOS Sequoia Most strange - I haven’t run the update yet and I’m on Catalina - it remains to be seen what happens.

Huh? I don’t understand what the problem is? It’s not complicated, and it has been this way since the start. First go to the "DOWNLOADS" menu at the top of this page and select your HX unit from "-CHOOSE HARDWARE-“, then from under the "-CHOOSE SOFTWARE-" select HX Edit, now select your OS from under the "-CHOOSE OS-" tab, then click “GO”. You should now be on the download page where you will find HX Edit 3.80, along with the “How to Update” instructions (please read) - then click on the blue “GET DOWNLOAD” button. On the next page agree to the EULA and wait for HX Edit to land in your downloads folder on your computer. Ensure that no other version of HX Edit is on your computer and run he installer. Just to make sure, restart your computer and HX device. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, “Model 6 amps in a couple of weeks”? - Really? “4 cabs which could probably be done in an afternoon - it's just a bunch of IR captures”? Really? "let's do some bug fixes" each one of which should take a dev an afternoon at most to rectify? Really? You seem to be remarkably well informed about how much is involved in creating this stuff. If you feel it could have been done in a shorter time frame, then maybe you should have offered your incredible genius to kick this stuff together a lot faster. Putting your money where your mouth is, springs to mind. Do I smell “entitlement” in the air? Oh, yeah - I haven’t updated to v3.80 yet, as I have enough stuff to keep me amused everyday, as I have only had my Helix since 11/23/15. Plus - consider the HXFX owner’s who only got a bass wah pedal.

Hi, You might want to take a look at using a WIDI device for wireless MIDI connections. See this post from @PierM who is a something of a wizard with this sort of stuff. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I’m a Mac Pilot, so creating an aggregate of audio interfaces is very simple and it just works. When it comes to Windows PC machines, then it can be a whole can of worms. Sweetwater have this article on their website - https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/aggregate-audio-devices-and-drivers-for-pc-and-mac/ Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, As you have probably realised this subject has been done to death in these forums, but for some real insight, here’s the definitive answer from the man behind Helix.
