Hi, FYI, the .hls file is used for Setlists, not backup files, and I guess for what you want to achieve, you may be better hacking a preset file. Presets = .hlx Set Lists = .hls Bundles = .hlb Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, What you experienced using the Helix Vintage Digital is perfectly normal - it’s a side effect of the sample rate and bit depth you choose. To “clean up” the signal, increase the sample rate and bit depth, but more importantly increase the headroom option. If you have ever used early examples of digital delays you will be aware of this. I still have an old (bought new in 1983) Ibanez DM 1000 in a rack over in the corner. That was an early model DDL running at 8kHz, but it had a compressor/expander circuit in the delay signal chain and the use of pre-and de-emphasis circuitry which makes for quieter operation. Lots of fun and a big leap from my old Simms - Watts Echo Dek. Now that was noisy - Google it. Hope this helps/makes sense. P.S. The post you replied to was from February 2018.

Yeah, you’ve got it. Once you have messed around with the presets for a while, the best thing to do would be to make a backup of all the factory presets, and free up space for your own creations. You can always reload any you particularly like. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Nope, not really - it’s very easily done, when dealing with multiple posts.

Oops! He has an HX Stomp XL - no FS 9+10 on that unit. HX Stomp XL Hold these button combinations while powering up the HX Stomp XL: 1. FS ^, C & D: clears all presets/IRs 2. FS ^+C: resets presets and IRs 3. FS C+D: factory restore (globals, presets, IRs) 4. Page >: Update mode. This update mode is helpful if the update is interrupted, and the HX Stomp will not boot properly. You will see a blank screen (no visual feedback on the display). 5. Upper & Lower Knobs: Rebuild presets. Wait for "Will Rebuild Presets..." to appear and let go. Make sure to always update to the latest firmware using Line 6 Updater.

Hi, Rather than search through the documentation for the Editor software, if may help if you checked out the Helix LT 3.0 Owner's Manual > Snapshots > Pages 47-52 https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a41edfe64823e79e9cdc/application/pdf/Helix LT 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev E - English .pdf Lots more interesting and helpful stuff in there too, as you are new to the Helix platform - a world difference to the POD H500X. Oh, here's a video, Hope this helps/makes sense.

Here’s an old trick. There is an old post somewhere in here about creating various “drum” sounds with a guitar. Weaving a playing card between the strings, dollar bills, and matchsticks were some options IIRC. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Darn those socks! :-)

Hi, Along with most of the regular contributors to these threads, we stand by the theory of - when weird and unexplained stuff happens, perform a factory reset. Can’t say that I have ever seen anyone else post about this, so if the factory reset doesn’t clear the “glitch”, it may be wise to contact Customer Support and see if they can offer a solution. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Here ya go - watch this: Steve has posted a couple of presets to CustomTone so you can follow along. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, There are no Line 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” This link is where you need to go to have any hope of it been seen by anyone from Line 6: https://line6.ideascale.com/a/index Before posting any new ideas, please do a search to see if it's already been listed. Multiple requests for the same thing will thin out the votes. Also, post your ideas one at a time. Many users don’t vote for combined suggestions. You should use this thread to let other users know what your suggestions are, with links to IdeaScale, so they can vote on it if they wish. Hope this helps/makes sense.

If she was named “Rachael”, then she was definitely a Nexus 7.

Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one - and you appear to be quite happy with what the HD500 delivers for you - that's fine. I started out using Line 6 gear right back with the old red kidney bean POD, moving along to POD XT Live, then the POD HD500 before the HELIX Floor and getting side tracked along the way by Boss GT stuff. My HD 500 is right here gathering dust and when I first got my Helix back in 2015 I did patch it in simply to use the Dimension effect because at that time the Helix didn't have the Legacy effects available. For me there is no comparison - here I am today -a very happy Helix owner and it's a world away from the earlier stuff. - but it's whatever flips your switch. Enjoy.

LMFAO The answer to that is obviously - Yes! You create a Snapshot - that becomes the base, then simply duplicate the Snapshot and modify whatever parameters you wish to change in the duplicate - (while we’re at it - up to 64 parameters per Snapshot, but you need to select which ones). Rinse and repeat. See Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual - Rev F - English - Pages 45 - 52 Snapshots. https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3f041b611d61cac763b/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev F - English .pdf FYI - the 3 people who bothered to take the time to respond to your question are long time users of this stuff, and therefore, if we find it difficult to comprehend, then you’re likely going to end up on your own, without a little attitude readjustment. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Oh, well if you're talking about "the unit", then it's a big help to anyone trying to assist to know exactly which hardware device you have!

Hi, As noted by @silverhead in the post above, if you don't select any OS option from the dropdown menu - it will still take you to the compatible software. Also if you had simply selected Mac OS X then clicked "GO", on the download page it actually states:- Compatible OS: Mac OS X, macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey, macOS Ventura Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, If a picture is worth a thousand words - here are several thousand picture in a couple of videos. plus, Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, The reason that you always see only version 1.0 is because you probably also made a selection in the “Choose Hardware” menu. This is not necessary - Helix Native is a software only item and should be selected exactly as I mentioned in my post. Furthermore page 4 of the Helix Native Pilot’s Guide has a picture showing the download page. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Go to the top of this page and click on “DOWNLOADS”. On the next page select Helix Native from under the “Choose Software” drop down menu item. Next select your computer Operating System from the “Choose OS” Dropdown menu. Now, click the “Go” button. The next page is where you will find the Helix Native download. From the section named Helix Native version 3.61 click on the blue button named “GET DOWNLOAD”. The final page is the EULA, simply click on the “CLICK AND DOWNLOAD BUTTON”. When the download finishes, run the installer - done! That’s all there is to it - quite simple, and not frustrating at all. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, This could happen if you have downloaded a CustomTone preset that was created using a newer version of the firmware than is in your hardware unit. if you haven’t already done so, update your firmware to version 3.60 now. Hope this helps/makes sense.

You may want to read the HX Stomp 3.0 Owner’s Manual- Rev D - English > Page 7 - Item 10, below the picture showing the EXP 1/2 FS 4/5 Input socket: ”Connect an expression pedal here to adjust a wide variety of parameters.* With a Y-cable (tip-ring-sleeve 1/4" jack, split to two tip-sleeve 1/4" jacks), two expression pedals can be connected. Alternatively, you can add one (or with a Y-cable, two) external footswitches to access additional stomps, presets, snapshots, etc. (FS4=tip, FS5=ring). To set this jack’s function(s), see page 52. By default, this jack is set to accommodate a Mission SP1-L6H Line 6 Expression Pedal, which has a toe switch that toggles between EXP 1 (Wah/Pitch or Poly Wham) and EXP 2 (Volume/Pan). For external footswitches, the momentary (unlatched) type should be used.” Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, See the reply from @codamedia in this thread: Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, If you have the input on your Helix set to MULTI it will accept audio from Guitar, AUX and Variax simultaneously. The issue is the Aux in is rated at 10kΩ input for an active-pickup equipped guitar or bass. Suppose you could stick your guitar into the regular Guitar In and the 1/8” to 1/4” from the phone to the AUX in on Helix. IIRC, the 10k in is like a mixer input, or a Send/Return. The Aux in on Helix has never been specifically recommended for jacking in a phone or MP3 player, but AFAIK, the output impedance of phones, MP3 players etc. is usually in the range of several ohms. It’s one of those give a try and if nothing blows up - great!. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, I have used the Apple Camera Connection Kit to hook up to an iPad for getting audio in and out - it utilises the USB. I had this working with GarageBand and AmpliTube on the iPad - no problem. Oh, yeah - I keep forgetting that I also have one of those IK Multimedia iRig gizmos to hook up from guitar direct into the iPad. I haven’t used either of those items for a couple of years but both worked for me. IRig is the cheaper option, lots of different versions. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig2/ Hope this, helps/makes sense.
