See my post
I would stay away
The fact that not a single person has jumped in to defend it tells you all you need to know
I'm a big fan of the G30 and I've done a side by side comparison with the G70 and it has more range and more reliability than the G70 which is expensive but with a lot of issues
I really regret buying mine (and I have a line 6 pa,Helix etc)
Most of the time the stuff is excellent. This is a turkey. They should withdraw it. It's not fit for purpose
-
Bought one of each as an upgrade to my tortured G30s
I'm really disappointed in the lack of range and drop outs I'm experiencing
I ran the G30s for 7 years with virtually no problem
2 gigs in with the G70 and I have a third of the range and dropout galore
Updated the firmware
Have done the nonsense scan (that I didn't have to do with the G30) and still poor performance
Having read up on some of the issues here I'm curious to know
Is this it? Working as expected just worse than the unit 1/3rd the price
-
Sometimes the connector comes loose and just needs reseated
Have had to do that to the odd L2 over the years
It's a molex type connected behind the front panel
-
I've been a long term g30 user and never had an issue
Upgraded to a g70 and a pair of transmitters
Had a drop out mid gig NEVER had that with 7 years of G30
Range was about a third of the G30 in the same venue
Very disappointed. It's a downgrade !

The Yamaha THR10 switched power supplies after it was originally launched because people were getting earth buzzes
Does your PSU have a cassette type cable or a kettle lead
If it is the former the PSU needs changed

Oh dear

It would if that was even remotely what I was sayingThere you have it. Two dudes jammed on their rigs one saturday afternoon, proclaimed them to be equal, all the Helix owners jumped in and agreed, and its finally settled.
Please guys before announcing to everyone that youve coped the "holy grail tone" at least put up some audio, so the rest of us can form our opinion. Otherwise the proclamations are pretty meaningless....Speaking from a standpoint of sonics. Obviously.
Look man, you have to have an idea of what you like. You dont just blaze thru every IR in the bag hoping to nail it. If you know you like a Mesa cab with v30's and a 121, and youre wasting energy with 100 other IRs, you only have yourself to blame.
Yeah if youve never owned a cabinet you like, dont know anything about the speakers in them, or never mic'd it before, then i can see how one may feel the need to try every IR they get their hands on...but to say "youre not sold" on a near identical re-creation of some of the most sought after guitar cabinets in the history of music, sounds extremely uninformed.

Oh and this (before I changed the Fryettes for the Marshall)
-
Hey I don't post here so much , but I don't use a Freyette powerstation ... I use two and a couple of orange 1x12s loaded with neo creambacks. Great stereo rig and very versatile
When I'm out with the PA I use a Marshall 9100 instead of the freyettes (only because I have one racked in the same box as the mixer
Sounds equally as good... I run 1/4 to the Freyettes. Full amp models no cab sims. For FOH I have a split just before the end with a dual cab and an EQ block. Here is a pic of my patch. Sorry I can't embed with the iPad

This isn't a purely helix issue btw every 4CM unit I have used has this to some degree
you need to isolate the line between the helix and the return
A http://lehle.com/EN/Lehle-P-Split-IIwill give you and isolated signal and break the ground loop

Yes
Loose connection to the tweeter

Hi folks
I've done a lot of searches but come up blank
I think I have a blown speaker in my L3s
It makes a horrible overloaded farty noise with the kick drum
Levels and gain are fine
I can't find any info on replacement drivers for these
Does anyone know if there is a drop in replacement
It's heavy and inconvenient to ship to a service centre for a fairly simple repair
-
Three options (well four but I'll come on to that)
Option 1 use your amp heads FX return (bypasses the preamp) and eq to taste
Option 2 get a dedicated power amp like a matrix or a Fryette (or my personal favourite a Marshall 9100)
Option 3 get a line 6 stage source or some other FRFR (full range speaker)
Option 4 ignore the amp modelling use your amp and have a kick lollipop effects box
-
Before you do that I would try putting a lehle psplit or a gigrig humdinger in the loop
4cm can introduce a ground loop so you can break it by having an isolated output in place
-
press in the knob for mix and click learn controller
move your exp pedal and set your min and max parameters (I do 15 -45 %)
go back to the delay and press the knob for time .. do the above
Repeat for feedback
the exp pedal will move all the parameters for you
-
If you are having trouble cutting through a big whack of midrange usually helps
Try whacking up the mid control in the amp model and apply a low and high cut
-
You could Assign the volume of exp 1 to send 1 and exp2 to send 2
Or do what I did and buy some long speaker cables and rack mount the Amps
(Doesn't work for combos though...)

I'm in the me too camp
Every pedal loop switch I have ever used does top to bottom

You can generate feedback from anything
Certainly you shouldn't have too much problem from that rig. If you have it setup permanently you should mark the floor for your favourite spots to stand for certain frequencies (Vai does that at sound checks)
A guitar cab should do it for ever
And FRFR setup fine at moderate volumes for brief periods
I would have thought the danger would be to the tweeter although they are generally quite robust
These days you can get a Line6 L3t for the same price as an L2t and if you aren't having to lug them anywhere these are outstanding with guitar and electronic kits (I use mine with my 2 box)
-
you probably want to switch off the cab modelling
I would put an EQ block in my presets and save Global EQ for when I am having a problem and in a hurry (i.e. at a gig) where I have to carve some EQ across all my patches at once
I don't use it as a matter of course
-
If this was indeed terminal to the mic input then it would be nice to have an indicator of state and perhaps a button for switching on and off which wasn't buried in global settings

You get many kudos points for real world experience and extra bonus points for not using the abbreviation 'verbsThat picture doesn't even display the boutique pedal shelf, but I didn't even use them in the main loop but rather swapped in and out where the Mastotron and Memory Boy were as that was a kind of ever changing and modular part of the rig.
I'd bought some pieces that were used exclusively with analog synths and a few I routed some samplers through. I somewhat condensed all those into a single entity then just routed whatever instrument I was working with through that. In all honesty it was an unpractical mess, if I gigged I'd have to split it apart and only take certain parts and even in the studio for the units that didn't have presets I'd have to dial in all the specific settings just to continue working on a part while maintaining the tone I used last time. Not a thought out solution.
I'd tried some single units over the years (G System still in that pic) but kept hitting on the flexibility, and sound, couldn't match the individual stomps. Jack of all trades and master of none etc. Kemper and Axe just never did it for me (both great I'm sure) and when the Helix was released I did a lot of waiting and online researching. Have it two weeks, and absolutely love it so much. Interface alone is incredible. I use a lot of Midi controllers for writing other parts and the thing reminds me of two units I think were designed with quality and workflow in mind, the NI Maschine Studio and the Ableton Push 2. Just, great.
85% or so of what is in the pic is retired now. Sold, traded or sitting on a shelf (just in case). I maintained three things that I integrate with Helix
1. Strymon Big Sky. - Helix aint there yet for the more ambient and lush complex reverbs but that is understandable. For all standard reverbs I'm more than happy with it though.
2. Eventide H9 - Sold one, kept my max. I only use it for the pitchfactor (arps etc) effects which are pretty amazing.
3. TC Electronic Triple Delay. - Love that at a flip of a single switch you can change all three delays to serial mode so the first feeds into the second and that feeds into the third all in time. Really capable thing.
Aside that though, one single footprint that as soon as the Helix backpacks start shipping again will be easily transportable. No looking back.

Switch to RF1 it is more reliable
Google on how to. It's a strange procedure
