OK, thanks for that, sorry I didn't understand what you were saying - a global edit is exactly what I need - and can't have! Cheers for now, Weedsy.

Absolutely right - but I'm downsizing from an L1 Bose setup, mixer etc - too old to carry that much stuff around now, and still want small gigs for our duo. So, decent acoustic/vox gtr amp to handle Helix output (works fine) but need to boost the mike channel overall; can do it with a MXR clean boost pedal from my "junk pile", but liked the neatness of running it via the Helix to do that rather than re-introducing some of all the hands-and-knees cabling and doodads I'm trying to get rid of . . . . . pasting a complete second line in seemed the way . . . thanks anyway for your help, much appreciated;

Global edit??? I've searched the manual index and can't find any reference to "global edit" - does this refer to an edit that contains multiple items?

Is it possible to paste a second line (e.g. a mike channel to XLR) containing preamp, EQ, etc as per the Demo template "Guitar & Vox" - I want to start running my mike through Helix and I have almost 60 guitar presets in sets . . . . seems like a load of work to update each guitar preset separately. Sorry if it's a dim question, it's my age - I'm pre even pedals, so Helix is rocket science!!

Many thanks for that, psarkissian - sadly, I don't have the "old" Workbench (it was three computers ago, and I never used it) but I downloaded the 1.73 Workbench and 1.77 Line Monkey (didn't have that one either) apps the other day - only because I couldn't do the update without them (!). Can I download the "old" one just to take backups as you suggest before I use the current one as the second stage of the update? Or will the 1.73 make the backups? On the other hand, as this gets more complicated, and as an elderly bear of little brain, I may just soldier on with the old patches . . . . . . love what computers can do - hate doing stuff that could mean they never work again!

Newbie, so sorry if dim . . . . quote from notes on updating: " Be sure to backup any custom presets that you may have for future reference; however, note that Variax 1.X presets will not work with the 2.0 firmware." I want to update a JTV59 from 1.71 to latest HD/workbench - surely the above can't mean that my own presets (being presumably 1.X) won't work any more?? I guess it means the factory preset sounds won't work, and will be substituted by the new HD ones - I'm not going anywhere near any monkeys until I know I'm not going to be redesigning over 80 presets (!) . . . help please? Cheers, Weedsy
