OK. Some follow up. I called MF. Apparently there is some new FTC rule that forced them to cancel many orderers that were more than 90 days old. Bizarre. They had to get my approval to get an exemption from the rule and are going to put me back in line for the D10. Assuming this is going to be an issue for a lot of vendors and customers. But I guess the question still sits, where is my D10! I ordered it in June of 2025. Let's go! Cheers!

Musician's Friend just cancelled my preorder of the D10. That feels like a bad omen. Could also have timed out as an order since it has been a year or more since I placed it. Anyone else have an order cancelled? Hoping L6 did not pull the plug on this. Ugh.

Sometimes, even if the venue we are playing at can only do mono to FOH, I will run stereo to my in ears because it sounds so good. Very inspiring to my playing. Sounds huge.

Definitely the firmware update process and IR management.

I have a similar issue. In my case, the metal clip on the inside of the Helix output broke off inside my unit. I am out of warranty so have not pursued getting it fixed. Still works fine, just doesn't lock the XLR in.

My Helix sounds phenomenal through my Sony MDR7506 phones. $80 on Amazon.

I believe Stryper is using Helix on their current tour but honestly can't remember where I saw it (get it,Honestly;) May have been posted on the Helix FB page.

He has talked to L6 service. It happened in an air conditioned basement with plenty of ventilation for the Helix sitting up on a pedal board. The only thing that went out was the Helix. I played my Helix at a gig last Saturday where the heat index was 110 and the unit was on for 6 hours with no issues. It's a mystery right now but L6 is aware of the issue.

This is a copy and paste from a friends Helix User Group post on FB. I am the witness in this account. Has anyone else experienced this? Makes me worry this could happen during a gig... Had my buddy over after work to take care of some gear. Was having him check out the Helix presets I had setup for gigging... About 15 minutes in my Helix just powered down outta nowhere and was completely unresponsive. No power, swapped cables, outlets.... Nothing. About 10 minutes later it powers back up... Anyone have anything like that happen? Completely weird and I have a witness to it too...

So we have been begging for scene functionality since Helix was released and now we are going to fuss over 6 characters? Can't we just be happy for snapshots?? I am!!

My half step down pitch shifts are unusable as well. All garbled up. Please fix Line 6!

Agreed. Fantastic patches. I have most of his Helix releases.

Ever since my Vetta crapped out on me an hour from home at a gig, I have always had a backup for any rig. I picked up a Randall RG13 that I throw in the truck now. It has enough power to push a cab plus a direct out. Decent tones to get through a gig in a pinch. Of course I have never needed a backup since that bad Vetta day. Just like I have never used the emergency generator in my garage. Better safe than sorry, though. I worry more about a drunk chick spilling a fruity drink on my Helix than it ever dying unexpectedly.

Saw some noise on The Gear Page about a potential Firmware update, maybe today. Anyone else hear that?
