As said above, mine is sounding pretty thick and mid-heavy. In comparison, yours sounds more shallow. And that shallow character is exactly why I started shooting and baking my own IRs some years ago. There's nothing wrong with your IR, might even be working better on recordings, but for live purposes, the ones I created (fwiw, I usually go for the slightly brighter one) suit me better as they never seem to get lost in a band setting. All kinda sounds I need for live playing. When I had the Floor (I scaled down to a Stomp which is only working as an FX unit on my current live pedalboard, the modeling duties are taken care of by an Atomic Amplifirebox and a NUX Amp Academy, both running a pretty similar IR, only slightly adjusted to suit the amp models a bit better), I was always only using one patch for live, within that patch I had two amps loaded, usually a Princess or Cali IV Rhythm 1 for cleans and a Line 6 2204 Mod or Mandarin 80 (both at pretty low drive settings, so I could slap dirt blocks in front) for any overdriven tones. The entire palette of tones within that one patch was ranging from very clean to solid rock, including all kinds of lead boosts and what not. Served me just fine for a plethora of gigs (my current board is serving me better, though).

And fwiw, it's wellknown that at least the demo (and likely the full version too) are calling home all the time whenever they can. The fact that they still work whenever there's no connection doesn't change anything with that. Similar to Bias FX btw, which is trying to call up around 25 web adresses on each launch (nice things such as Googleadservices and Facebook included).

But how can they otherwise magically fix things in case it's not calling home?

Hm, so Native is actually calling home all the time?

So what was the problem?

Fwiw, I have a bunch of IRs I created to suit some individual HX amp models (obviously so I would like them), might post them whenever I find the time to sort them out a bit. Thing is, over the years I learned that mids are a guitar player's best friend, so I always try to bake some of them straight into the IR already (usually I'm looking for some baseline IRs of my own featuring "interesting" mids and then I might cut away some lows and highs in addition).

With Firefox under macOS I'm getting an option to rightclick the player (which is automatically being added - I don't think it has always been like that), allowing me to select "save audio as" or "copy audio adress" - both resulting in a file with .wav extension. Whatever, here's the last two zipped. SF_Live_IRs.zip

Same thing under Windows, really. HX Edit must be up to date to display the new goodies.

Fwiw, quite some IR companies have dragged their free teasers (or entirely free portfolio) back more or less recently. RedWirez is out of the game (their free Marshall cab hooked me back in around 2008), Ownhammer has no teaser anymore and Seacows is now distributed by Audio Assault. Whatever, here's my main two live IRs. They're pretty far from sounding like most other IRs (and incredibly loud, for whatever reasons which I could sort of describe) but I used them pretty much exclusively on the Floor for around 3 years.

My bad - that was so easy I should've gotten it...

What in the world does that stand for?

He defenitely needs to check the actual version he's running.

Very likely HX Edit isn't properly updated.

First thing to do: Rightclick the .pkg file and select "open". In case that doesn't work, look here: Somewhere at the bottom you'll find some help regarding the issue (which is related to macOS' Gatekeeper) Did you install HX Edit and tried updating from within there?

Bitte einmal hier entlang:

Hm, dunno. Might be true for the pedals and amps, but otherwise I always thought that Fractal was pretty much on the front edge. I mean, they're offering really excellent FX and things such as modulators, allowing you to do some pretty nifty things - the only other modeler coming at least sort of close in that aspect would be the GT-1000 (and in plugin land Guitar Rig, which is a modulation monster, too bad they almost stopped developing it). There's not too much to be had of that kinda stuff in HX land. Sure, some neat FX, but being able to modulate parameters would certainly bring them to quite another level. Agreed - but as said above, aren't the things around the core tone something Fractal is just as strong at?

Sort of off topic: I know this is likely considered blasphemy round some parts of the modeling world, but is that really all that important? All I know is, that for me, it isn't. Fwiw, this is also why I have a sweet spot for the Boss modeling. The best sounding amps and drive boxes in their units IMO are those not trying to be literal copies of existing devices. And on my recent pedalboard, the amp model I'm using for all my driven tones is a pretty much modified (as in using pre- and post-EQ plus some custom-made IR) Bassman of an Atomic Amplifirebox with some (real) pedals slapped in front. Apart from a completely clean tone (which is provided by another pretty much modified Super Reverb coming from a NUX Amp Academy), I hardly ever need anything else (I could use the Stomp in addition but only ever do so for certain rare recording situations). For me, as long as it feels well while playing, offers enough flexibility to get everything I need done and sits well in a mix (especially live), that's all it takes. In the end, for me (<-!) the usability aspect has turned out to be much more important than whatever super accurate amp replications. And for my use case, with my current setup pretty much all usability boxes are checked (apart from some that, interestingly enough, are almost exclusively related to the HX Stomp, even if I like it quite a bit in its role as an almost-only-FX unit). Now, I know that's just me (well, maybe not just me, but still...), but when lurking around the modeling world's various channels, I can't help it but think that this almost endless quest for whatever perfect amp emulations is keeping away at least quite some people from concentrating what all this at least originally was almost certainly about: Playing guitar, ideally through some nice sounding pieces of gear. It often seems to be along the lines of "Until I don't have amp XYZ at my disposal, all of my rock star attempts must be brought to a halt!" I'm not saying it's necessarily like that, I'm also not adressing anyone in particular, but that's the impression I often have. And as far as myself is concerned, ever since I decided to not use a one-size-fits-all-in-one-box modeler anymore (even if I still own the Stomp), I'm playing more than ever throughout the last 2-3 years. Fwiw, partially related, in my case it also seems to massively help that I simply don't have to use any editors and what not for any common things anymore. It's all knobs, directly exposed WYSIWYG style, sitting next to me (my pedalboard is raised to chair level at home).

Title says it all. How this would not be there in the first place is completely beyond me. To compare the two cabs you're mixing requires endless page-jumping. Pretty bad in HX Edit already, getting abysmally bad on the hardware, especially on a Stomp. Seriously, this is another episode of "how to turn something that'd be absolutely trivial into something pretty convoluted". So Line 6, please bring up a mix slider that is available regardless of the selected cab block. https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/1054303

Ah, ok, great then. I thought you were connecting the headphones straight to the send jack.

You don't need an "associated app", you point the Line 6 Updater to the flash file.

Still defenitely no beauty but doing exactly what I want it to do. Some cables could run tighter but that's what you get when you try to cram things into existing arrangements. Also, I want some of the things to be more or less freely exchangable (such as the Stomp, should I need it for smaller gigs and what not, even got a fly gig in India next spring...). Adding that little mixer (which was intended to be a custom-built thing but my electro-dude didn't get back for me so often that I just gave up) apparently was a neat idea, I can now instantly use the board for IEM gigs, route some backing tracks into it on boring soundchecks and what not. Soundwise, I couldn't be any happier, either. Still waiting for my Harley Benton Drop Kick, apparently a Suhr Riot clone, to arrive (was broken, no instant replacement due to the usual supply shortages) which will take the place of the Hustle Drive. But there's way more than enough fun to be had with what's on there already (my last addition, the Rockett "Dude", is just awsome). Would've loved to add a patch bay (in fact, I have one sitting on the shelve already), but with this design it's impossible. I'm defenitely not going to ever take the actual board out of the case, too many people have been stumbling over my stuff in the past already. Well, they can stil do that, but at least they will now break their ankles in return, hrrhrr...

No, that won't work. You need to do it the other way around. Your headphones won't work with the send, so the upper path has to have the amp signal, so you could use the normal HP out. Unfortunately there's something i forgot before: You can only create a split in case there's a block on the splitted path. IMO that's really an oversight on Line 6's behalf as there's plenty of reasons why you'd like to split something without using any blocks. In addition to that, unlike on the Floor, re-assigning output blocks isn't possible on the Stomp at all. So I'm afraid that if you wanted to get this thing to work, you would have to "waste" a block in any case (or connect an external headphone amp to your send, less than ideal I'd say...).

Method 1) You would have to use the split path for that and create an output for path B. That way, path B would run to the send jacks. You could use that to feed your amp and use path A for your headphone duties. The modulation block would have to go for that purpose. The advance of this would be that you wouldn't have to waste a block for a send. Method 2) You would insert a send/return block before the Stomp's amp and feed your amp from there. You'd lose a block that way but could leave anything else intact. For both methods, you defenitely want to make sure the amp (or at least the cab block) are the last thing in the signal chain, otherwise you would only hear, say, your delays and verbs through either your amp or your headphones. Fwiw: You're pretty much wasting the cab block in the patch you've posted. In case you'd be using an A+C block, you could ditch the dedicated cab block.

Voted.

Kind of. Or rather the other way around... Nah, at least kinda finalizing things today, got all things together and need to do some new pedal arrangements and some housekeeping. Will look pretty similar to the last iteration, though. I'm sure that I'll be building an entirely new board next year or so, but that needs some serious tinkering (and possibly some serious investment, too), so until then I just want to call it a day (perhaps even longer, obviously needs some longer term tests).
