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.

No kidding about the versatility of the Helix + Synergy! I use mine with an Egnater M50, so I have the possibility of 8 channels, which is overkill. I have been using the Vai module and the Dirty Shirley in the Synergy and then in the M50 I swap out a lot of the old Randall modules that have been modified into just about everything. The Helix rack is amazing for controlling the whole thing. The Line6 stuff is really good but there is still something about tubes.....

I plugged into XP1 to do some channel switching and after set up, it works great. The only problem is a ground loop kind of hum. I tried using a TRS and a TS cable and it did not matter. I read about problems with a Mesa Rectifier but this seems different as this is not a Mesa. It is an Egnater. I use my Helix rack with the amp and have used the channel switching on it with no problem. For some reason it is not liking the HX Effects. Am I missing some internal switch somewhere? thanks in advance rick

Unless I am way off base here, it seems that if I plug an Xpression pedal into XP2 it automatically defaults to and sets up the volume pedal! Either that or some of the stock presets already have it set up, which is great! I can just start with a stock preset and start editing out the other blocks. Thanks for your help here. I have learned how to set up the volume/wah but after learning it, it seems that it has been done for me. Come to think of it, the helix rack had XP2 defaulting to the volume pedal if memory serves.

Thanks Datacommando! However, in looking at these videos, I am going to have to sift through what may be relevant. I have an HX Effects and the videos are for the HX Stomp. There seems to be some differences in menus and such. I did find out something important on the FX Stomp....by pugging the Xpression pedal into XP2, my issue with the pedal cutting out is gone. I am thinking that XP2 is set for volume and XP1 is for other parameters maybe?

I have a Helix Rack and now have an HX FX for smaller stuff. I hooked up a Mission pedal and wanted to use it in the HX FX as both volume and wah. I had a hell of a time getting it to do both and couldn't find a video specifically for the volume side of things. Anyway, I like having a footswitch that toggles btw the volume and wah and finally got it set up. Don't ask me how as I am not sure if I could do it again. The problem is that when the volume pedal is engaged, it goes from zero, starts swelling and then about a third of the way up, it cuts out and then starts swelling again and works fine the rest of the way to 100%. It's not the pedal as when I use it as a wah, it is very smooth. It does it on either log or linear. I also just noticed that it does it on the way down....full volume, then it tapers, cuts out and then continues the taper. Any hints?

Much as I like the amp/cab models, I never use them live as I like my own tube amps too much. I think I would be using the HX FX for the time based DSP using FX so that would mean after the loop? I noticed on the HX FX that I can use it to switch channels on my amp, which would be a cool thing to have when using the GO.

So I really like the POD Go and the simplicity of it. However, there are some gigs (perhaps some day after covid) that I would like more FX blocks. One solution would be to put the HX FX in the loop of the Go or vice versa. I do the 4CM and am having trouble conceptualizing how I could put both together and still do 4CM. Any thoughts? rick

4CM rules with the Pod Go. I don't have any pronlem leveling or tweaking. Maybe I am used to it. I have it set up as an FX unit but at a moments notice, I can flip to using it for the amp models. It is really pretty simple and as someone said, with the FX loop it goes back and forth with ease.

Same with me...I use the Helix rack for my main rig and this is a great small gig/rehearsal rig, I would love it if I could swap that eq out for something else. I don't think it would be that big of an issue for them to pull this off.
