That helped with the Stomp XL. However as I am starting to gig soon, it was time to bring out the Helix Rack. I noticed that the FX loop is flashing red in it. I switched the loop to line level and it still flashes red. I have been using the Helix for a few years and it had never done that. I updated it a couple of months back and have not used it since the update but now I notice it. Did something change?

Thanks everybody. I got it now. rick

I thought of one possibility....when I assign a block to wah I think there is a low/high range. Maybe if I find that place and assign it to both low and high? Since you are a Zappa fan, there is a tone I was curious about.....the solo in Blessed Relief has this kind of cocked wah tone but also a normal tone mixed in. It is hard to describe unless you know the tone. He used it on a few of those Hot Rats to Grand Wazoo era tunes....well before he hired Steve Vai. Anyway, that might be for another thread? Thanks. Just your answer may have moved me into how to think about this. When you plug an Xpression pedal into the right jack it automatically defaults to wah/volume pedal. At least I think it does or I may have set mine up that way a long time back. Definitely let me know what you find on your LT! rick

This thread goes back to 2018 and I was wondering if anyone had tried this inexpensive power supply and how it works. robberns, if you are still around, could you tell me if there have been any issues in you using it all of these years?

I was listening to Frank Zappa and he had this cool thing where he would use a wah, but not move it. He could find that perfect frequency and then play on it forever. My question is about this kind of thing. Is there a way to find that perfect frequency that you like and then just save it so that when you turn on a wah footswitch it just turns that frequency on? Not really using an expression pedal, but just that frequency at the push of a button? I know it must be possible with all the Helix can do. I just am at a loss as to how to pull it off. Thanks a lot. rick

Cool! Thanks a bunch! rick

I don't really use a pedal board. What I was wondering about is if the HX Stomp and HX FX power supplies were interchangeable....like can I use one for the other in a pinch or could there be damage? Or is there something on the market that would work for both like a little power supply?

Are the power supplies for the HX Effects and the HX Stomp interchangable? IF not are there cheaper alternatives for spares than using the L6 products which seem crazy expensive for what they are.

I am using the Stomp XL in 4CM and when I am using a higher gain channel on my preamp, I notice the FX loop block flashes red. I hear some clipping some times so I guess I am asking if this is normal or what can I do about it? It would seem that I am overdriving it somewhere. As I am using a guitar, everything is set to instrument level. I have pulled the loop levels down, both send and receive, and that doesn't really do much except pull the volume down. Ideas, Anyone?

I got the CEBA buttons and they are great! The touch capacitants on the top is perfect and the buttons stay put with the magnets. I put them on my HX FX and now may have to buy some more for my Stomp XL. They are not cheap though if you lawn on outfitting more than one Helix model.

I just got my Stomp XL today and was playing with it for a while and set up a nice preset that included the Glitzy Reverb. After a bit, I decided to hook it up to my Mac and update to 3.10 which I did. I noticed that when I went to my patch on HX Edit there was a little question mark on my reverb block. I clicked on it and it said that the reverb was not available on my version. I then looked at all of the verbs and all that I could access were the Legacy verbs.....the mono and stereo were not listed. I unplugged it and went back to just the unit. I went to my preset and the Glitzy verb was there. My question is why is it on the unit but not in HX edit? Befuddled in Bozeman

I snet my refurb back and they informed me that they were going to get me a new one. I hope I will get the G10T II as they said that they were expecting a shipment in a few weeks and would I please be patient. If that is the case. the G10T II is supposed to have longer battery life. I have a G75 with two transmitters for live playing and I just thought it would be nice to have the G10 in the studio minus the two hour battery life, of course. I am really loyal to Line 6 so I hope this works out for me. Did I get you right in that if I had two transmitters, I couldn't charge one while playing with the other? That would be handy but in my studio, one with four hours will probably be plenty. Changing back to a cable is not all that inconvenient here but live would be a bigger issue.

So after a few years of these buttons being available, is there any consensus as to which work the best as far as the touch capacitance, looks, comfort level, etc.? I know that the Barefoot Buttons cost a couple of dollars more and the screws are on the side for the touch thing with the CEBA having the metal on top. Also the CEBA is held on magnetically?

I had a 25% off coupon from buying my HX FX and then they had a refurb one here at the Line 6 shop. I would assume if it is a refurb the dangerous defect has been corrected. I am pretty sure the charging issue will still be there so I am probably just going to have to return it as soon as it gets here.

I have a lot of Line 6 gear and am really happy with all of it. So, I just ordered the G10 without looking on here. Did I make a mistake or have they fixed anything on it? From what I am reading the battery life really sucks and has gotten worse in the past year. Any opinions on whether I should just return it and go for the Boss WL50? Thanks and looking forward to your opinions.... Rick

So I have a G75 which I dearly love for my electric gigs. I do a lot of acoustic work and have a Dimarzio Black Angel system....basically a piezo and a magnetic. They are wired such that I use a TRS cable out and then into either a Grace Felix or (for smaller gigs) a K&K preamp which is takes the TRS in and I can then mix the pickups. Is there any way to go wireless using this system? thanks rick

Thanks so much! you have no idea how much I would appreciate that. This has been frustrating for me! rick

The issue is that the hum eliminator does work. The noise is entirely gone when I use it. However, it will not switch the channels. So it seems that I get one (hum) or the other(channel switching) but not both. BTW, it is a Randall RM50. The channel switching is just a latching switch.

I wrote about this same issue but with a different amp. Mine is a one button foot switch. The HX will switch channels using a standard cable but there is a ground loop. I get the ground loop tamed by running the cable through a hum eliminator and the hum is gone but it will not switch. I was told to try a TRS to dual mono Y and see if one of the sides of the Y will still switch . I am waiting for the cable to get here and will let you know if that works.

I have a rudimentary knowledge of TRS jacks but I am kind of losing it over using my HX FX for channel switching. I can get my HX FX to change the 2 channels in my amp, which is a Randall RM50 using a normal cable between the HX FX and the amp. There is a ground loop issue going on which is nothing new as I seem to have that everytime I plug a Line 6 product into it(it is an issue with the amp as it did it with other Digitech stuff.) So I run the HX FX into an Ebtech Hum Eliminator and the ground loop goes away but now the channels will not switch. According to the Ebtech manual it is "smart" and can recognize balanced or unbalanced jacks. I am thinking that there is some weird thing happening with how the Command Center on the HX FX is set with Tip vs ring vs tip + ring, etc. Also (I hope this doesn't confuse the issue) I found that if I use a friends ART CoolSwitch Pro it gets rid of the ground loop, and if I switch the transformer-isolate switch it will then switch the channels. I guess I am wanting to know if I can use the Ebtech to get rid of the hum and also switch channels and if so, how? Does this sound like some kind of TRS issue?

As the HX Effects is now a few years old, I was wondering if anyone had any new solutions for a gig bag for it? I looked at an older thread and was hoping that there were some new things out there. thanks rw

Doesn't look like anyone else had this issue but in case you d, I found a solution. I think that for what ever reason, my Helix has an issue with my amp, which is a randall/Egnater RM50. I run 4CM and it hummed there so I put a CoolSwitchPro between the HX and the amp and the hum stopped. The same thing happened when I tried to use the HX FX to switch amp channels and the same solution occurred with the Coo;Switch Pro. Not sure why, but it lifted the ground. I had tried lifting the ground every other way possible and nothing worked. I ordered an Ebtech Hum Eliminator and hopefully will get the same results. I think it is just something with this amp as I have two of them and the same thing happens in each. Please let me know if anyone has had this ground loop experience.

It is like a gas stove vs wood burning. Both will warm you, and they have those fake logs that look pretty good, but the wood fire is warmer.
