O.K. Here ya go, but you will need to take them from the setlists. Helix v1.03.factory.setlists .zip

Hi, You can find the older firmware presets collated by Ben Vesco right down at the bottom of the page, supplied in the link provided by @brue58ski in the post above. Although, I cannot figure out what can possibly be of interest in the original firmware which is 9 years out of date. Even if you did find the preset you’re looking for it will require updating to be compatible with the latest firmware. Maybe it’s me, or maybe not, because Digital_Igloo is also known to say “All Presets Suck”. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Using Gaffa tape and a Sharpie is a less permanent, or damaging, solution. ;-)

Hi, again. Yes, you're correct - that option doesn't exist in Helix Native. and it never has. To me, it appears fairly obvious, that the smooth transition of tempo changed delay effects are going to be far more important in a live performance scenario - in fact mission critical to a live situation. In a recording there will probably more time devoted to capturing a good "take", along with a DI dry signal that can be used to reamp, and also change as many things as you like, until you achieve your perceived/desired result. Tempo changing delay times in a recording situation generally requires a completely different approach. Here's a quote from Line 6 regarding Reamping - Why, How, and Why Not? There are a number of benefits to this kind of scenario: 1. You can change the core tone of the guitar at any time: if you get to the final mix and the printed delay on the guitar track is too loud and the amp is too crunchy, reamp the track and turn down the gain and delay mix while you’re recording it back to disk. 2. You can punch into a solo or part that has printed effects at any time, even months later. Normally, punching into a part with a ton of printed time-based effects is impos- sible, because you can hear the punch point when the delay and reverb tails stop. With a direct track in the scenario, all you have to do is get the performance right using as many punches as you like, and then simply reamp the part using the same sound and setup. It will sound as if there are no punches at all, because as far as the reverb and delay are concerned, there really aren’t.

Congratulations - welcome to Firmware 3.71

Hi, again. Are we actually giving you answers to relay to a third party? I also re-read your initial post where you mentioned using the Exp pedal to edit on the M9. Hmm… is this what you mean? You could also tell your friend - “No, she didn’t buy an iRig”, but it’s a big help and a lot quicker to modify stuff with HX Edit. Also - see page 13 of the HX Effects 3.0 Owner’s Manual > Hands-Free Editing (Pedal Edit) Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Currently, there doesn’t appear to be a way to differentiate between 2 of the same type of device, other than which HX Edit window is in the foreground, also indicated by a checkmark to the left of the active device name. Open HX Edit and click on the “Question Mark” icon in the lower left of the GUI. This gives you the option to launch the “HX Edit Application Pilot’s Guide” pdf. You can find the “Multi-Device, Multi-Window Support” information on page 3. If you feel naming each device is important and should be available within HX Edit then you need to post your idea on IdeaScale. 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”). This link is where you need to go to have any hope of your suggestion been seen by anyone from Line 6: https://line6.ideascale.com/c/line6 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. Then you should use the “sticky thread” on the first page of this forum 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.

Ah, now I think I get it. I also considered that a multi-tap may be worth investigating. Yeah, that should do it. Those very clever ancient Greeks and their calculations.

Hi, again. Surely, like all delay and reverb time settings, this should be a simple math problem, where you set the tempo on your preset to 120 bpm. You should select a stereo delay with 1/4 note set as the original TIME, then set the SCALE to 50 percent. The first repeat will occur on the quarter note in the left channel followed by a repeat from the right on the “and”. This should continue with repeats from the left landing on the 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, along with repeats on the right falling in between on the “&”. Possibly not what you’re wanting to achieve - but hey, play around with the percentage scale and you will work it out.

Hi, Here’s a link to a cheat sheet over on Sweetwater. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/bpm-delay-times-cheat-sheet/ Hope this help#/makes sense.

Hi, This is from the official Line 6 tutorial videos. More here: https://line6.com/support/helix-minutes/ Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Well, for the record, next month, my Helix floor will have been used as the main audio interface in my studio almost daily for the past 9 years. Although, I do have a couple of other Audio Interfaces as fail safe boxes, as anything electronic can crap out at anytime. These things are computers, but nonetheless subject to the usual wear and tear of daily use and things are likely to fail at some point. That’s just the way it is, especially something that is designed to be jumped on by feet. You buy these thing and take a chance. As far as my Helix is concerned, if it failed and couldn’t have it repaired, then I would replace it with another. :)

Hi, Update your firmware to the latest version and use Hx Edit to speed up the editing process. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Simple answer - No. As you are already aware the Global Setting parameter named "Stomp Select" because it only works with the Stomp Switch selection. From the manual: - When set to “Touch,” touching a Stomp mode switch selects its assigned item(s), but pressing doesn’t. When set to “Press,” pressing a Stomp mode switch selects its assigned item(s), but touching doesn’t (helpful if you insist on playing barefoot). When set to “Both,” either touching or pressing will select the assigned item. The default is “Touch.” Therefore, when in Stomp mode touching an assigned foot switch will highlight that effect block ready to be edited. This doesn't/can't happen in Snapshot mode because there is no physical block to edit, although you can rearrange the layout of their relative positions on the board by touching two switches. To select and execute a Snapshot, simply press the foot switch to which it has been assigned. Hope this/helps/makes sense.

Hi, HX Edit only shows the 0 - 127 Presets, because that’s the limit on HX Effects. From the HX Effects Owner’s Manual > page 16 The HX Effects device stores up to 32 banks of four presets (A, B, C, and D) for a total of 128 presets. Make sure your HX Edit and Firmware versions are the latest - HX Edit v3.70 and Firmware v3.71. Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: You might want to read the HX Edit Pilot’s Guide > pages 9-10 > GUI Overview, along with page 51 > Preferences and About Box > Restore Factory Settings.

O.K. Minor typographic mistake - the page number should have been page 5, but if you had read the manual you would already know that. It is listed on the contents page as “Updating Helix Firmware“. See the Firmware v3.71 Release Notes - Hope this helps/makes sense. EDIT: Also see this -

Hi, When weird stuff starts to happen the usual first thing to try is to perform a factory reset. On the download page for firmware v3.71 it specifically put a link to follow for the full release notes. It’s always a good idea to read the release notes to avoid unexpected consequences of performing an update, rather than working blindly. Within the Release Notes in the section headed - Updating Helix/HX Hardware (Except For HX One), at point number 3 there are several bullet points explaining the reset procedure for various HX devices. Also point 5 states that you should Restore from your Backup which you should have made prior to attempting to update. There is a further link to follow should you run into trouble. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, again, DO NOT RESET! There is no “bug”! You have stated that you are a new user, please follow the solutions provide by people who are veteran Helix users. Please, read, study and inwardly digest the information provided in the Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual by downloading it from the link which I posted in my previous reply above. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Big clue right there! Prior to updating the firmware, HX Edit prompts you to create a backup of all the settings contained in your Helix. As noted by @silverheadin the post above, after updating you can restore all the functions of your hardware to their previous state, including your chosen Expression pedal functions. See page 6 of the Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual for more updating firmware info. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00050b287e6643b71cda93a/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, Nothing really specific, the best info you can get is possibly from the lists on Helix Help. https://helixhelp.com/models Occasionally, you may see a comment over on TGP, where Ben Adrian gives a hint of what inspired certain amp models. Other than that it’s the usual Line 6 approach of saying nothing. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, It states on page 6 of the HX One Owner’s Manual that the LEFT/RIGHT inputs are to be used with stereo input from external stereo devices. Nowhere does it indicate that you can connect two separate mono instruments or pedals. quote: “Connect stereo pedals, keyboards, synths, or modelers to both the L/MONO and RIGHT inputs” It would appear that if you connect, for example a stereo keyboard to the inputs, BUT only have the option of a single output, then the full stereo signal path will be collapsed (folded) to Mono. If you have the option of a second output (to a mixer) you will maintain the stereo signal path. Dunno, seem pretty clear to me. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, The onboard amp and cabs are designed to work with each other, and the other options are the POD Express Black which is loaded with a different bunch of high gain models, or the Bass unit. To clarify- you can mix and match the speaker cabinets, but the seven amplifier choices are built in. This is much the same as other amp simulation devices which are available, and cover the usual, vintage, classic, clean, crunch, basic starting tones. Also, if you want to modify the basic sound you can do this - from the manual. TIP: You can choose “Off” for no Cab model if you plan on sending your device output to an external amplifier or into a Cab simulator/IR loader. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi, In that case, you may find this is a great resource for figuring out what, does what! https://line6.com/data/6/0a00050b058066312873a50cf/application/pdf/HX Stomp 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf There are also lots of videos out there to assist in getting started with your new toy. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Here ya go! Hope this clarifies how to set your footswitches.

Hi, Prior to updating your device you are advised to create a backup of all your presets and global settings via HX Edit. After updating the firmware, you then have the option to restore these to your unit using HX Edit. You may want to check the Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual - page 13 - Snapshot Footswitch Mode. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00050b287e6643b71cda93a/application/pdf/Helix 3.0 Owner's Manual - English .pdf Also, check page 66 > Global Settings > Footswitches. Hope this helps/makes sense.
