I did reach out to Steve, hoping he has time to get back to me. Thought I'd ask here for a possible quick answer. I've googled stomper (and a myriad of other possibilities) and have been all over Etsy to no avail. I'm assuming it's a hard cover to prevent damaging the knob from an accidental foot swipe. A hard cover protecter for those knobs makes sense to me.

Airguitar, Are you using the Edit software, or trying to do this on the unit itself? I'm an old guy too, for me connecting to a PC/laptop via USB and using the Edit software is much easier to set everything up. Light years easier (for me). I think you are on the right path with the setup you're trying to achieve, it's the way I've been gigging for years (plus I'm coming from the Spider Valve units). I have different amps 'channels' on the bottom footswitches (rockabilly/clean/crunch/lead) and then for each 'amp channel' I have different effects set up - three effects per channel (preset) and I always have FS5 programmed for a gain boost for solo's. I never use the Tap function, and use a headstock tuner, so if I ever want/need a fourth effect I will program the Tap button to be the gain boost. I don't use IR's. The cab modeling in the 3.80 firmware is really good. I got my Helix right before Line6 came out with the cab modeling firmware update. I was going down the IR path, which is a whole can of worms in and of itself, but then that firmware update came out and I found it's great and no IR's needed. If you're on the latest firmware IMO you really don't need IR's to get a great sound. Hoping you've gotten ahold of Silverhead and he's helped you out...

I'm looking for a cover/protector for the 3 parameter adjustment knobs below the display on the Stomp & StompXL. Steve Sterlacci's StompXL videos show a cover on his StompXL and his wife's Stomp - exactly what I'm looking for. Anyone know where to find these?

Looking to build a small pedalboard with just Stomp XL and the Dunlop volume mini, possibly an external looper down the line. Everyone seems to like the Cioks DC7 but it's overkill for what I need. I found their Sol, which looks like it might fit the bill, but looking for other recommendations. Recommendations for a small pedalboard are also greatly appreciated. Saw one Youtuber who built his own wooden board with an on/off switch and accepts standard 120V IEC cable, thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks for the reply data. I did read the manual first before posting. Global EQ is on page 54 in the manual I have. The manual does not mention a symbol on display, which is why I was asking here to be sure.

Does the Stomp XL show the EQ symbol on the display when global EQ is on, like Helix Floor and Helix rack? I do not see a symbol on the XL display when I have global EQ on, wondering if this is normal or if in fact Global EQ is not really engaged when I think it is.

Of course I believe Digital_Igloo when he says it's not coming. I've been doing this same type hw/fw/sw development for many decades, albeit in a different industry. I'm not saying it would be simply dropping code in and recompiling to add to Helix Edit, but knowing how software is developed and apparent Line 6 modularity, it would be low hanging fruit. Think about it... We're only talking adding it to Edit, not the Helix itself. So a Windows application. Focus View interface/software has already been written for all the amp models available on Helix. All Focus View software modules are readily available, development complete. The only thing Focus View would do in Edit to interact with the amp models is 'turning the knobs' for the settings - it just does so in a very uniquely cool visual manner. The same knobs are all ready there in Edit, and we can adjust them on the fly. So the only thing that needs developing is the interface between Focus view software and Edit. It would look/act/feel just like the Stadium version of Edit. All this assumes Focus View will be available on the Stadium version of Edit. But if it's there, to me it seems like it would not take much. I also understand software development and I'm sure their resources aren't unlimited, so it's a matter of investment priorities and return. I would think there might be a business case for adding Focus View to Edit to keep Helix the premier platform in it's price range. Adding cool features is how Line 6 has kept Helix relevant for over 10 years now. Just my 2 cents...

I was wondering (location being beautiful Calabasas). Happy/fortunate he noticed and relied ... so I guess that's that. I get that Focus View is a feature to separate Helix from Stadium. But man, it would not take much to add to edit for the existing user base...

Well then - back to my original thought... If all legacy amp models are indeed included in Stadium and the legacy amps are set up to use Focus View, it would be very simple to add that functionality to HX Edit. Hoping Line 6 hears this...

OK - so Stadium will only have the 22 Agoura amp models at launch. I thought Stadium included the 22 Agoura models plus all the amps from Helix. This being the case, yep it would be some work. But at the same time think other modelers will jump on this bandwagon...

Helix already does include the hooks for focus functionality - we can make amp adjustments on Helix thru Edit presently. My understanding is that Focus View is available for all amps on Stadium, not just Agoura amps? If this is true mapping each corner to amp setting is already done, just a matter of implementing a GUI on Helix Edit. I see other modeler companies implementing this concept too, thinking Line 6 might have to do it at some point to keep up with the Jones'. Would like to see Line 6 leading the pack with Helix too, along with Stadium.

Seems like it would be a straightforward thing to add to HX Edit for the established Helix user base. Would be a GREAT tool for the non-Stadium users, and I think this feature alone would pull customers away from the other modeler/effects at that price point. Seems like it would be a good business move...

Has anyone heard if Line 6 will be bringing Focus View to HX Edit? Would be really cool for the folks who can't step up to Stadium yet...

Wanted to follow up on this: Yes I can assign the lower 3 footswitches to presets in command center. When each preset is selected, upper 3 footswitches are assigned to control stomps in that selected preset. Footswitches to select the presets need to be programmed in each preset using command center. Global Settings: preset numbers 000~127, stomp mode footswitches set to 6 switches. So this allows you to effectively program up 'banks' of 3 presets in stomp view, switching between 'banks' via preset mode, with 3 footswitches to control stomps in each preset. Pretty cool!!! Think I'll add a Dunlap DVP4 to have the complete setup in compact form factor...

USB plugged into a laptop, but laptop also connected to a KVM monitor so that's the loop. Thanks guys!
