I have multiple avenues to listen to Helix on, but the two main ones are a couple of Power-cab +'s running back to the mixer (and audio interface) and into my near-field Mackie HR 824 monitors. The other way is using the built-in cab IR's in Helix straight into the HR-824's. With the Power cabs I can change the settings on them "per-patch" with Helix, for example from a Fender Jensen speaker on a Deluxe, to a Marshall green-back on a Marshall amp patch. I recommend them !

What currently has my attention is the Powercab 112 Plus, with my hope being it would be simpler and more satisfying.
I have 2 Powercab +'s and could not be happier. Not only are they smart unit with lots of features, they sound good too!
For studio they are the "Bee's-Knees" in tone.
I recommend them highly to ppl the fence. They wont disappoint (unless your in a Metal band playin @ 120 db)...
My 2 cents- hope this helps ; )

Um...Phil...I'm pretty sure the goal is to get people to chill out and be patient. You could just say something like, 'it's nothing big...a couple of patch items and some new architecture". BAM...everybody's eyes will glaze over and the topic will die down.
Lets keeps the goals on the football field. I hope its never released, until its ready to be. If that excites people and makes them blow snot bubbles then so be it. And Phil's not a politician, he tells it as he see's it (unless NDA's are involved of course). I may not always agree with him, but I respect that. ; )

I have this in front of my chair, mixer and Mac and can control it while recording tracks- Love my Helix and Kemper!

I use a midi merger (Midi Solutions) hooked from my midi-sport 4x4 (for the Nixie software on the Mac) and from Helix midi out, merged, and then going to my 1st Strymon pedal Midi input. In this configuration I can control the 3 Strymon (all set to their own Midi channel) pedals either from the Nixie software on the Mac, or from Helix via the control window in HX Edit.

Im really having fun sending my KPA out to a pair of Power-Cab +'s, and then controlling the KPA and what speaker simulation I want with both the Kemper and Helix Editors!!!
I just turned off the Cab on the KPA and let the PC+ be the Cabs (and Mic's and distance per Mics). Then using both the Remote on the KPA and the Controller on Helix, I can change settings by a push of a button! It sounds really nice to my ears too- what fun !

But, obviously, these people posting here already have a Helix and I'm assuming don't have a money tree growing in their backyard. I know I don't.
Just thinking out loud here- You only live once, is a great saying. And, you don't need money growing in your back yard (or outta yer ARCH) to have a Helix, and another nice modeler. You just have to want one and get out of the punishment jeans society has put us all in. Today there are ZERO percent 12 and 18 month payment options and if you want one bad enough and don't want to pay it out like the example above, just save up for 6 months or so and pay for it. Im not saying to buy more than you can afford but Jesus, it's not like buying a new car. You're not being selfish to have more than one modeler my friends and it's not a sin to enjoy life and kids/life at the same time. And, more options and tones available are where it's at for me. And finally, cant take it with you- not that this is what you were saying brue. Heh- I remember My buddy had a term for people who think that they are going to take that $$ with them. He said- "they are so tight that every time they let gas they have a nose bleed". ; ) Not picking on Brue and not pointed at anyone, just saying- and as always YMMV and thats ok too. ; )

For other reasons, I ended up doing a fresh install of Win10 on my PC. Fresh install, Windows Update to make sure I had all the latest updates and drivers. I used the MS drivers for my AMD Radeon R9 Graphics card. Installed HX Edit. Same issue. Installed the AMD Catalyst drivers, latest stable drivers (since has been updated twice). Same issue.
This is not because I run Line-6 stuff on a Mac, but Ive noticed "MANY" people here saying they use Windows 10 and are having issues with the later Helix update/Editor software. Im not including those that cant or wont follow installation instructions either. There seems to be something in the Line-6 software, and/or Windows 10 that just doesn't seem to get along with each other. And yet, there are some that run this same setup with no issues???
So is everyone who is having an issue, happen to be running with the same motherboard, or graphics card? And is it something like this specific hardware or software on the PC that Line-6 software has problems with I wonder? Some weird driver for IO/USB causing this?

The holidays are nearly upon us, and yet another pointless, speculative gripe-fest and wish list merry-go-round.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!It's the hap-happiest season of all!
But where are the updates?We don't mean to berate
But new stuff has slowed to a crawl...
It's the hap-happiest season of all!It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be snot-bubbles blowing
Tempers will be glowing when no Helix patches are near

That's making me think about trading her in, but there's so many choices!
A bird in one hand is never worth the two in the bushes... As always YMMV. ; )

I'm currently using an HX Effects in 4cm with my 5150iii and I absolutely love it.
I wouldn't switch if I absolutely loved it.

Actually you use exactly "2" more cables doing the 4cm. Thats it. And as far as having less options, yes it requires using a total "1" aux send and return (out of 4 total), and using the 1/4" output. You still have the XLR outs for your output. The reason to do this is because the front end wah & drives are where they need to be, and the delays and verbs are where they need to be in the chain (after the amp). Being unconventional works too, but for the majority the 4cm is the norm.

It's called the Kemper Profiling Amp.

EDIT - sorry, that's for the whole magilla, not just cabs/mics.
Thats unless you are doing "merged" profiles. In this case the Amp profile is separated from the Cab (so you can swap them as desired). ; )
What do you play your Helix through at home/ band practise?
