  1. I think they were generally overpriced, fairly ugly and the magnetic pickups were extremely mediocre at launch. They are sold as 1k+ guitars but really they aren't worth more than $600 (they compare pretty closely to guitars in that range and sometimes slightly worse, Indonesian PRS for example best the crap out of an Asian variax). The fancy electronics doesn't justify the price difference in my opinion. I definitely expected more, looks like Yamaha is bringing some expertise to the table and the new ones in my opinion are a step in the right direction.
  2. To me the biggest improvement is you got rid of that hideously looking headstock. I still can't quite comprehend how Line 6 thought this design could succeed, the jtv line while decent guitars always looked ugly as sin. The new neck improves the situation quite a bit. Good job!
  3. To me the real question is can someone publish "in the room" models of famous speakers without the mic model included? Most ir libraries include the mic and using them makes the powercab sound distinctly fake. By fake I mean it sounds like a recording which is kinda the point but it's not as fun to use when playing by myself or rehearsing with a band.

    Helix For Bass

    Would you share how you set up your Hysteria patch? I have no idea where I can start with that one but I would like to learn.
  5. As a fellow product manager I wish IdeaScale was much more aggressively groomed. Right now it's kind of a mess of lunacies and perfectly reasonable asks, with a sprinkling of ideas that have been executed already but the team forgot to close (last time I checked). When I managed an idea forum (my current company doesn't have one) I made a point of grooming the list very often to make it easier for users to see if something was being considered or not, and UserVoice in my opinion does a much better job at letting product teams do that work. Anyways, it's cool when a PM interacts with the forums, props for being in tune with your customers. Are you on the PMHQ slack?
  6. Hello folks, I just received my Helix Floorboard and I'm really excited to get started. I auditioned the presets with my JBL LSR305 and... oh boy they sound like crap. There's obviously something wrong I'm doing because I heard many videos made with the Helix and they all sound better through the same speakers so it's matter of setting things up properly. Where can I go to get a solid primer on how to create sounds for the Helix? I would like some help working with high gain sounds (think The Muse but also Corroded, Five Finger Death Punch) and some more spacey sounds a la Pink Floyd, Tycho etc... Any tip is welcome!
  7. After going crazy for a while, I figured out the problem: the volume of the looper was 0. It was hard to catch because the display doesn't do a good job at showing things clearly, but that was the problem.
  8. The problem is pretty self explanatory, and will need an alternate download given the idiotic update model Line 6 picked for the Monkey.
  9. I have the same problem, and I'm at my wit's end with this problem. Don't know what to do either, no one seems to have heard of the problem.
  10. Need to send it back to Line6 for RMA, but can't find a single box that's strong enough for this amp.
  11. I brought my amp to service after receiving the notification for the Technical Bulletin 059 from line6. I brought it to King Amplification of Santa Clara, California, and when I went in to try the amp again, the topology 3 of the amp didn't work anymore. They didn't tell me anything about it before I went in and I'm pretty sure they didn't even bother to test the amp when they put it together after the service... they asked me money to diagnose the problem on the spot (you need very, very big balls to ask money to diagnose an amp you just broke). Anyways, anybody knows if servicing the amp could lead to that kind of problem, or what could be the issue? A loose cable, a valve that came off the socket... anything else? If it's something easy to fix I would like to do it myself (I'm an engineer, although I different kind of engineer...). thanks everybody!
