  1. Ive used a headrush 112,a powerstage 170 with a blackstar 212 cab and now Im trying a katana mkii 50 112 speaker and imo I like the guitar cabs with the duncan or the katana better.The headrush is good I just like the guitar cabs a little better.I dont follow the you should use and amp cab with a non frfr speaker,I use amp sim and it sill sounds good.
  2. I had to sell my Helix,cliche saying like things could be worse are true but annoying,of course things could be worse but Ijust wanted to tell people if you are in the market for one IMO it was the best musical equipment Ive owned in a long time.When I was younger I had a fender twin with jbl and great arms from lifting it lol but this helix reminded of those good ole days when I loved the sound I was getting.I turned on the twin model and I was sold.Well here is hoping to get back on my feet and get it again by this summer,its day, 3 hours and I miss it so much.Hug your helix before you go to bed, take care.

    Power Amp Choice

    I have and Im very happy with the seymour duncan,but I dont turn off my cab blocks and it sounds good.people will say oh you are not getting the real cabinet,its fine,depending on what I use once in awhile Ill just use my blackstar 212 cab and not the cab blocks or IR,but its rare.

    strat sound

    . Im looking to possible have a go to guitar I have a strat so I want to put a humbucker in bridege.2, but if you have a prs ce 24 or a hss strat please share your thougts.Any suggestion im getting close but I want that nice clean a bit broken strat then a good crunch.Im getting close belive it or not with the amp to me that wasnt so obvious it was the amp modeled after the prs.Looking for good delay setting reverb I want the chime but just a full sound lead a tad thicker than gilmour.
  8. yes do a factory reset,I did the same thing since it was brand new.I bought it for my son,and I took it out the box I didnt think of making a backup file because I didnt make my own presets.So yeah I should have backed it up before update,just follow instructions I think its footswitch one and 2 hold down as you turn it on then let go when you see the screen display backing up presets,just double check the manual or instructions on line 6 site first.
  9. Enjoy it,take your time read carefully and everything before you update firmware,watch youtube how to videos and Im sure you will see how great and enjoyable it is to use the helix.Ive had mine for 2 years and im still finding great settings sounds and the only hard thing is finding something I love because so far Im cheating on every created preset with another created preset,Im loving all of them.So many ways to create great presets.This is the best guitar device ive ever owned.
  10. He does number clear the table and throws out the trash,I dont have the other 2.
  11. I bought my Son a hx stomp for Christmas I should get it today,he will get it next week.Im sure he will like it but if he doesn't? Make room pedal board Daddy has a new toy!!!!!!!
  12. do you have a 112 or 212 cab? I have a 212 blackstar and a seymoure duncan power stage 170 it sound good and I also have a headrush 112 not really bassy I got it on a stand I never had it on the floor I had it on a step stool never touching the floor that is wher you might all theh bass coming from.I alos dont let the non frfr 212 blackstar cab stop me from using cab models its sound fine to me just some tweaking and I just go with what sound good not what something should really sound like.
  13. I have the112 and it sounds good.Cabs usually have a 12 inch speaker so I would go for that if I was you.that is why I went for the 112.
  14. I like Pat travers and this looks like the setup you mentioned.
  15. yeah it was nice because I use my helix thru my duncan powerstage 170 going into a 212 blackstar so I would have a setting with the cabs then I would just switch to amp so I can hear how it sounds with the blackstar with out cabs.I know the blackstar is not an frfr but its ok for me I like how the cabs sound and I also like how the 212 sounds with some amp models.
  16. I guess its not a bug its something that worked before the 2.8.2 update I wonder if there is some way to make it do this again......Using hx edit I was able to switch between amp cab and amp with out the setting changing.It is changing now,not sure if its just me or something that happens now.Just to be clear I would change bass treble middle settings on an amp cab model and when I would just switch to just the amp model the setting would carry over.

  18. I was just fiddling around and I just put this amp on with just reverb and I forgot how good it is.I like the fender twin model but I think this just wins by a nose.Archetype clean
  19. I love my seymore duncan but i kind of like the friedman sound also,good video.
  20. i had a couple of amps and I tried a couple of frfr and I finally swich to a seymore duncan 170 with a blackstar 212 cab that I already had.Imo I lik the way the 212 sounds with the helix cabs,yeah I know people will say you are coloring the helix cabs by doing that but I go by sound not by what could be and so far it works.I alos have to option to turn off the helix cabs and just uset the sound coming out of my 212,that works for some amps.I recently also bought a headrush 112 and so far that is working out well.You kind of have to research online if you can set up your rig in a musci store that is better Im sure whne you are ready to buy a good music store will let you set up your helix with what ever you are looking for narrow it down and go try them.I even get a great play back sound from this little speaker.
  21. I have a helix lt and one out is going to headrush and another is going into my seymore duncan power 170 into my balckstart 212.I think you might like the Seymore into a 212 cab its clean and has 3eq knobs and volume so I can tweak a bit of low and highs with out changing the helix patches.I like the way it sound coming thru both I have it close to sounding like each other,but I can use the 212 for more bass sound and the headrush for highs.
  22. I backed up my presets but I didnt have to reload them they were there after all of my updates.I only used my back up when I cleared the helix and used the new presets that was when I didnt have my backups and I loaded them back up.Maybe people might be loading them twice,maybe people hit that last continue button before letting the helix restart and reload everything.I dont know I updated the line 6 update I had the helix off when I updated HX edit I shut hx edit off completely I did say yes again to all of the drivers it wanted me to install.I turned on my helix signed on to updater and it did eveything in 5 mins.It kept all of my presets but like I mentioned earlier I wanted the new presets so I rebooted helix it erased everything I had gave me new presets then I loaded my backups.I never got the keyboad message on my computer about the helix being a new qwerty keyboard but everything is fine.I hope you guys can get it back to factory and load what you need.
