Under Windows, one also needs to kill the remaining process via Task Manager or reboot.

Follow everything required literally:

Yeah well, I probably would. But you're not even sharing a link to your suggestion. Which is why I thought me having an excellent pizza was as much of an important information.

I just had a pizza, it was delicious. Maybe you can get one as well.

Not just better... I'd also bet on a vastly higher efficiency. I mean... vs.

Oh really? You revive this 3 year old thread to please us with your wisdom? Thank you!

He said that small size is attractive. If anything, the Helix Floor and LT are *not* small, they're rather bulky and heavy affairs not fitting into any regular backpack or, say, cabin luggage. In addition, as they're so heavy, they need very good padding (or a case) during transport, otherwise you will eventually break a pot, crack the screen or whatever.

You could save around 4-500 here easily. No need for any luxury DI boxes, a stereo one (if you need stereo) for around 50 bucks will do. Same goes for the power supply. When running it off the main board, I'm daisy chaining the Stomp with two pedals, using a PSU for less than 20 bucks, 100 bucks would already give you a Harley Benton one with isolated outs if you want something more fancy and flexible. And as far as the board goes, I have a small wooden construction made of case plywood. Cost me 20 bucks cut and ready to roll from the local case builder.

Which, tbh, is a shame. Look at how Fractal and Kemper are handling these things. Their own forums are their homebase with some occasional appearances at other places. This is how you can keep things under control and get an idea about your actual users. Interestingly enough, these are the very two (only!) places I'm banned from on the web (if I wasn't involved, it'd be quite an entertaining story about how that happened, possibly allowing for some deeper insights into one person's psyche (not mine...)). Coincidence? Hrrhrr... And well, on a somewhat absurd sidenote: I have seen links to the thread I started being posted in both of these places (I had a look at the FB group just 2 days ago via a friend's account, a Helix user as well). I possibly should've added a big "do not post this at TGP" sign (you might've guessed that I actually don't care, even if I'm not using any j/k emojis).

Every bit this. Even if the Line 6 Updater does the job - it only sort of does. I mean, as soon as there's traces of HX Edit running in the background, you're out of luck and there's absolutely zero official information - let alone instructions - about how to adress that very issue. Might as well be the problem @willlin is running into. Heck, there's not even any official information about the Line 6 Updater at all in this part of the forum. It's as if it didn't even exist - and yet, most often it's the only cure once you're running into what seems like a bricked unit. The longwinded post I wrote should actually be a nicely formatted post by some Line 6 employee, made sticky for the rest of all times, it's nothing us users should have anything to do with. And of course, ideally there should be some sort of extra security level built into the update via HX Edit - which defenitely can fail quite sometimes, even if you literally follow each and every step of the official instructions (as said, I had it happen myself, and yes, I am perfectly able to read and follow such instructions), so there must be something fishy going on, at least every now and then. In case it's server issues (which I suppose might be the starting point of many messed up updates, it most certainly was in my case), the actual update process should be able to realize that the download was not complete. And in case it's "just" a communication problem between the updating software and the hardware, this should cause the update process to stop, too. Well, it actually does so - but what it should do in any case would be offering an option to revert to the previously installed firmware, which should be temporarily cached by the updater, so there'd be a rollback option without any user action required. Kinda like HX Edit asking "Whoops, we were running into some issues, revert to previous state, yes/no?". And once you pressed "yes", everything would happen automatically, simply because the updater created that temporarily cached backup. Maybe at the end of that failed update, you should be presented a link to the Line 6 Updater and some instructions about how to retry, this time using the "manual" method. Really, so far each and every update has caused hundreds (if not even thousands) of failed attempts. That should be adressed.

Follow all these steps:

I can perfectly understand that - but the cab block's EQ options aren't too capable, so you might need another EQ block in addition, which would make sharing at least as difficult as sharing an IR.

Contact Line 6 directly. Can't imagine they'd be very happy about that. After all, at least in the US, one thing that seemed to set L6 apart from others (not sure whether that is still the case) was their support (has always been extraordinarily bad in Europe, though).

Well, in case you're a certified Line 6 repair shop, it might not be the best move, though. Otherwise, you might not be a Line 6 repair shop much longer...

Yeah, it's gotta be a joke. Same for any vendor, btw. And that's pretty much *the* official service partner of YMMG over here.

Correct. Or maybe rather the tone of another amp/cab. Again correct. Match EQs (or the IRs you might generate from their settings) are just a linear thing, so anything dynamic (such as overdrive and compression) isn't covered. As a result of that, if you want to match whatever the original might be, you'd have to set up your own sound to be as close as possible regarding all things drive "structure" and so on. It certainly also helps to use a similar guitar as in the original sound.

And fwiw, in case someone needs dirac impulses, I can post them.

Quite complicated, IMO. Here's how I do these things: - Use any Match EQ to copy whatever sonic imprint (this is described pretty well in the video). Should work similarily with almost all Match EQs. - Once done, have a track running nothing but that very Match EQ on it. - Place a "dirac" impulse (basically a sharp full frequency spike) on that track and bounce the result. - Just to make sure everything will be working correctly, trim the bounced file. -> There's your matched IR. Note: There's an advanced method as in manipulating an existing IR with a Match EQ, requiring somewhat more pre-select action. Might be worth it, though, simply because even 1024 sample IRs do come with some "distance information" which you will lose when just using a Match EQ.

According to his post, he did that already.

Question: Why would you go through all this (which likely won't turn out too great anway) when you could just create an IR from the Match EQ?

Well, in case the device is stuck already, there's no point in trying with HX Edit again as HX Edit simply won't even connect. To Papug: - Make sure the Stomp is connected directly to your PC, using a quality USB cable. - Make sure you don't sign into your account with the Line 6 Updater. - Obviously make sure the Updater is the latest version and the firmware is the proper revision.

And fwiw, I even wouldn't care if it was nitpicking (which it obviously wasn't) as I'm pretty good at those things myself. Give and take and all that... And fwiw #2: I didn't realize @datacommando mentioned this before already, sorry. Anyway, it's edited now.

Thanks! Quite obviously a typo - and possibly even a fatal one as shutting down HX Native won't help you much with this very issue (as you've mentioned yourself) in case HX Edit would still be running. And yeah, that really needed to be corrected.

Just dissect the presets.

Can't you just reboot?
