I've had problems stuck at boot up as well. It started after importing lots of IRs. I've tried making a backup then resetting to factory defaults and then restoring but still had stuck boot ups. On top of that after shutting down and trying again it might startup but the scribble strips go blank. Not sure if that's a related issue. So, I tried resetting to factory defaults again and reinstalling firmware 1.2 and not restore but start all over building presets, importing IRs. I now boot up ok but the blank scribble strips thing happens. If I fiddle with global settings footswitches the scribble strips reappear. Oh, one more thing, output goes silent occasionally when switching between presets. I have to reboot to get sound back. I have started a support ticket and got a quick reply but no solutions yet. I bet they are working hard on fixes. Ah yes, the downside of upgrading.... isn't it fun living on the bleeding edge? EC

Me too.... Also. scribble strips go blank. Not at the same time... EC

I wonder if we will see these amp models added to the Helix firmware?

But it doesn’t happen on the helx LT or native. it’s not a show stopper but strange

Strange but true. Creating a parallel path on the on HX Stomp the merge mixer show +3 level. On Native or my LT the merge level is 0. This is puzzling..... EC

It's very helpful to put a looper block first in the chain. record a phrase then audition IRs with different amps while it plays back. Focusing on the sound rather than playing is great however part of the thing is how it feels as well. You'll probably find that real world amp/speaker/mic combinations work best. Start there, a random search could be endless. I have bought way too many IRs since getting the Helix... Seems I always end up liking Ownhammer best. Especially the latest releases. Some Celestion IRs really good as well. In this business over 50 years I can truly say we have it good these days...

Try the Grammatico (default setting) into the Powercab set to LF-RAW it's absolutely amazing! Turn off any cab or IR and let the Powercab do it's thing.... Add the KOT or Zen Drive. Finally feels like a real amp and can really compete with my Mesa Lonestar Special. L6 Link to control the Powercab Plus is FANTASTIC!

Add the KOT or Zen Drive and OMG. Finally feels like a real amp and can really compete with my Mesa Lonestar Special. L6 Link to control the Powercab Plus is FANTASTIC!

Using L6 link to control Powercab Plus with Helix (LT) is absolutely fantastic! It's works beautifully with 2 Powercabs It's in the output block.

The King of Tone is remarkable... I've owned one for years. I did an A/B test and was amazed how close it sounds. EC

The first reason was sufficient. Second reason uncalled for...

Too bad L6 didn't split this update up. I'm itching to use the new amps, King of Tone and Zen Drive. I can wait for the new software functionality.

Oh man, I'm hooked on LF Raw now. Thanks!

When the split path gets merged the dry signal from each path gets summed thus it is louder. For instance reverb and delay on separate paths which I like. Sounds great but not sure if I like this.... If you take one path and go %100 wet, such as say delay then use either A/B split (not Y) to send how much to the delay. Or use the merge/mixer block to balance how much delay. Another way is take the merge block and send path B straight to the output. This way sounds different, best in my opinion so far. Horses for courses I guess. Any opinions?
