You can easily invert that. Just activate the block you want on the "lightning" state manually and deactivate the other (not using the switch). That'll flip the on/off and the light status.

Good question, would like to know as well.

Apart from all the things mentioned already, this would be a latency nightmare. The HX devices have pretty bad interface drivers.

In all seriousness, I'd consider something else but the Valeton. Latency is kinda large (>5ms), so once you add the dual latency of the HXFX (because you'd likely be running the GP-5 in the loop), you'd end up with something close to 10ms total. Not the end of the world but possibly noticeable already, especially when playing through headphones. I know it's considerably more expensive but a Tonex One Plus is quite a better device in my book (super low latency of around 1.5ms), plus you'd save an extra device as it has direct MIDI support. Patch switching is pretty much gapless too and, most of all, there's some incredibly great captures you can load onto it, mopping the floor with the Valeton (even if it allows to load NAM captures - but they're converted into it's own format and end up sounding kinda same-ish). How do I know? Because I'm using Tonex Ones in both of my main setups but also own a Valeton GP-50 (for backstage jamming, as a backup and what not). The Tonex could easily become a keeper for all kinda small rigs whereas the Valeton likely won't. You might as well be so much surprised that you wouldn't want to purchase any "whizzbangier" pedal any day soon. My smaller rig is sort of comparable, I'm using a Boss GT-1000 Core for FX, boosts and stuff and a Tonex One in its loop (plus an extra Ampero Control MIDI controller - but you wouldn't need that, I only bought it because patch switching on the GT is extremely limited). It turned out to be so excellent that I have zero plans to ever rip it apart again, despite all the new offerings around.

Are you using the balanced XLR outs from the Helix to your interface? If not, I'd try using those first and check their ground settings, too.

From that pulldown:

Better don't use them if you really want a rotary effect. They're among the most dissapointing FX in the HX series.

I'd simply forget about it. They've got more than enough issues to sort out with the Stadium line. The Variax is pretty much a dead product. Not manufactured anymore. So I wouldn't bet on them to care about the software anymore. Well, kind of in defense of Line 6, they have supported the original Helix line for quite a long time. I'd say that users got quite something for their money there. Could it be better? Perhaps. Will it happen in a capitalistic world? Likely not.

If at all, Line6 will offer NAM support for their Stadium units. But it will *never* come to any of the older units. I'd hold each and every bet on that. They'd shoot themselves in the feet with that.

Most tone knobs are just that, passive high cuts.

The + is only out for a pretty short time.

He's asking about the Tonex One. Which doesn't support MIDI natively at all (hence the existance of the new Tonex One +, the main purpose of it to exist being to add MIDI). There's a "hack", though. Some clever dude came up with a GitHub project and a DIY box that adds MIDI to the TXO. You can find it here: https://github.com/Builty/TonexOneController You can as well buy a readymade box from Pirate MIDI: https://piratemidi.com/products/polar?variant=46533908693044 I bought their Polar Pico and am now controlling my TXO via MIDI. Works absolutely great.

The entire HX series IMO has a rather huge visibility issue (one of the reasons I sold my Floor), but for me it's never been worse on the Stomp (which I still own) than it was on the Floor. You rather get used to remembering what's behind a patch number, though.

I actually doubt there'll be any updates worth much, if at all. But ok, let's see once there's something beyond (as in: new FX) amps coming up with the Stadiums. Then we will know. One thing is for certain: There won't be any noteworthy usability updates anymore. And these are in fact the things I'd want.

This is one of the things I constantly use. But I'm not trying to make an electric sound like and acoustic but rather enhance the piezo signal of my acoustics. Recorded the same stuff twice through the piezo and a decent mic (Rode NT2-A), then used Spectrum Thief (freeware Match-EQ plus IR generator from Ghost Note audio, one of *the* most excellent tools!) to obtain an IR from the mic'ed signal. Now I can just slap that onto the piezo signal. Getting incredibly great results IMO.
