Yes, i know it's in the manual but i'm at work and my new computer refuses to open or download the manual. i'm going to be talking with an amp builder and he'll need this info to ensure my LT can switch the amp's channels. something to the effect of, "hot to sleeve" ...or something like that from what i remember.

i'm just looking to be able to subtract guitar or bass (whichever i'm playing) from any given stereo recording.

can anyone comment as to whether the stems function is at least on par w/Moises? better? worse?

i wonder if it was something that they were specifically aware of and addressed as such? i'm holding out for at least a few more updates. way too in its infancy for me. i'd liken it to a pre-mature baby at this point.

go to 1:34

still doable with snapshots? i never assign a dedicated footswitch to the amp as it's done solely within snapshots.

I just noticed in a pic of the back panel that the stadium lacks the Amp Out jack that my OG Floor model has. Did they ditch this functionality with the Stadium, or is it something that can be assigned to one of the other outputs? I often use my OG as a dedicated, effects-only floor board, and to do channel switching on my PT15IR. I'm hoping the Stadium will allow me to do this as i wouldn't want to have to add a midi device such as Suhr's microMIDI Control, or the like. not to mention it would make upgrading to Stadium $120 more expensive, and it'd be another device on the floor.

Tell me if this can be done with Helix or H-Stadium: I’d like to send a preamp/power amp block (along w/other effect blocks) out to an external power amp into a guitar cab via ¼” output, while simultaneously sending the same signal chain, with the addition of a speaker block/IR out to the board via the XLR output. Due to the amount of effects blocks I’m using, I wouldn’t have enough CPU to create (near) identical paths on the individual A/B paths and give each path its own output assignment. In a perfect world I’d be able to assign the cab block to just the XLR out, but I’m pretty sure that’s not doable. And yes, this scenario may beg the question, “why” …which I’d rather not get into. I’d just assume mike the cab and send that to the board, but unusual circumstances have that out of my control.

appears to be more Variax-oriented, not for run of the mill piezos. i'll try digging around

From the guy in the video linked below, go to 6:45: "Here's a piezo into a 3 sigma Audio Taylor IR. I’ve found them to be as good or better than my Taylor 414CE-R running direct [ES2]." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfRc2F8H0uc&t=405s Does anyone have any tips for getting some decent faux-acoustic tones via a piezo pickup into an acoustic IR loaded into the Helix, like the guy in the video? I have a few acoustic IR’s that I’ve tried in my LT and they all sound dull and plastic-y, no matter where I move the sliders on all the available IR parameters. Unless there’s been a quantum leap of improvement in piezo pickups since the time my 2008 Parker Nitefly’s piezo was designed, and the piezo in this guy’s PRS? That said, my Parker’s piezo does NOT sound dull on its own, it’s all happening post-IR. My signal chain: Piezo into LT, then into IR, out to ProTools, out of my Mackie HR824’s. Tried adding a clean amp block to see if it improved anything, but it didn’t.

Longtime owner of an LT here. Live, I use it solely for effects, and to control my Suhr PT15IR. Up until now it’s been enough to do everything I need, but things may be changing. My new band has a few songs (and growing) that have acoustic intros and/or breaks, so I’m considering using my Parker Fly’s piezo system, and upgrading to a Floor for the added I/O that can hopefully make this happen (and hopefully tame the pesky piezo quackyness via an acoustic IR and EQ’ing, etc). The idea is to do it all within one unit, and not have to get into buying a dedicated acoustic preamp/stompbox, an A/B switcher, etc…and of course having snapshots for bringing my piezo in/out of the chain would be huge. My LT’s I/O is tapped as I’m also using an Eventide H90 in its effects loop. I would imagine it would be no problem for the Floor to receive/process my Piezo pickup in addition to my regular output, no? I’m also guessing I can send the Piezo’s signal out of the Helix via any available output jack? As far as inputting the piezo signal, would I just use an available FX loop In jack for the piezo, or something else? Most importantly, are there any cautionary tales in using this kind of setup from anyone who’s done it?

My amp's a Suhr PT15IR, so i'm going to assume its spec'd for pedals. it doesn't specify in the PT's manual, it only says, "tube-driven, buffered"

I'm using my LT solely for effects and controlling my amp via 4CM. Is this one of those "just use your ears" settings, or is one more ideal as far as selecting Line or Instrument for the Send/Return jacks. Manual doesn't really say (specific to 4CM), so i'm inclined to stick with Instrument level setting unless there's some good reason to switch to Line that i'm unaware of.

not to mention, it could be argued that due to all the updates (some quite major), helix is technically more like, 2-4 years old...as are QC and others.

i can't wrap my head around needing "hundreds" of IR's...and then auditioning through them. i hate when people say this, so i'm saying it with a bit of reluctance, but here goes- Just PLAY.
