Since you're asking specifically about the LFS2 I assume you already have it. I also assume you are familiar (from the manual) with the required setup and you've tried it unsuccessfully. Try configuring it differently, e.g. latching vs. momentary. If you don't already have the LFS2 here's a helpful snip from the Pod express manual: NOTE: Expression pedal and footswitches are sold separately: The Line 6 EXP-1 expression pedal is a fine choice (available from the Line 6 Online Shop), or most 3rd party expression pedals will work as well. For single or dual external footswitches, you’ll want to get the “momentary” (non-latching) type.

Not a dumb question at all. People have been asking since the dawn of time whether or not that damn tree makes a sound! And there are age-old statements like this: “This sentence is a lie.” True or false?

Global Settings -> MIDI -> Send MIDI PC Again, the manual….. use it!

I would be happy to have a phone or video call with you. If you give me contact information I will follow up to arrange the details.

If a tree falls in the forest..... How do you define 'sound'? If you define it by what your ear hears, then there is necessarily a speaker of some sort involved (guitar amp, studio monitors, headphones,...). And that means you are not hearing what you call the 'real' sound; you're hearing the sound coloured by the speaker and there are as many sounds as there are speakers. If you define sound as the presence of a physical waveform then you can see (but not hear) the 'real' sound in the recording of the dry signal. As soon as you listen to it it's no longer the 'real' sound you are seeking; it's been coloured. In other words, a rather meaningless question appealing only to philosophers and perhaps quantum physicists for whom the observation of an event affects the event itself.

You should not need the battery in #2. Try removing it and using a TS cable to your Vox. Does behaviour change? In fact, using both VDI connection and battery simultaneously can overload and damage internal circuitry in the guitar. Avoid doing that. What’s the current state? Did you manage to update the firmware? Is Workbench HD working now?

Have you considered replacing the HX One with the HX FX?

Weird. I would open a support ticket. Meanwhile you could try reinstalling the firmware. Start up Stadium in Maintenance mode first and Create Backup. Use Line 6 Central to reinstall firmware. Then startup in Maintenance mode again to Restore Factory Defaults, Restore Backup, then Shutdown. Just for completeness I would reinstall the Stadium app as well.

Is this it? It says MKII not Bogner and I'm not sure if it's the one you're looking for. https://line6.com/legacy/sv112 .... but it's currently returning the dreaded 404. Not sure if that's temporary. Open a support ticket.

The following is a bit theoretical but may be useful for you….. You know from using any guitar tuner that standard tuning is A440. That’s the frequency of the A note on the 5th fret of the 1st (high E) string. An octave in music is a doubling of the frequency. Hence the A note on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string has a frequency of 220, and the open A 5th string is 110. The 17th fret of the 1st string is 880. When you want to have those frequencies ‘cut through’ make sure you make them prominent in your EQ settings. The most common way to do this is to cut adjacent frequencies rather than boost those frequencies, but you can do either or a combination of both. I like to use a parametric EQ to let me select specific frequencies to target . Experiment with the Q value to broaden or narrow the effective frequency range. Relatively small adjustments of 2-5 db can make a big difference to the tone. For each song solo think about where you are playing on the fretboard and what frequency range is involved. Focus on making those frequencies prominent. It may be different for different songs; it may even be different for each song section. That’s where Snapshots come in really handy; a Verse snapshot and a Lead snapshot with different EQ settings. A small lead boost is helpful too but frequencies are important. As already mentioned interactions with your bass player can muddy the low end. Understand the frequencies they are using in each song and leave that range to them; cut those in your guitar tone - not so much that they are gone but enough that they don’t interfere. Hope this is helpful and doesn’t come across as stating the obvious.

The volume of the Stadium, or any other guitar multi-processor device, doesn’t really affect the ability for a guitar to ‘cut through’ in a band mix on stage. Volume is less critical than EQ, making sure the guitar frequencies are highlighted. A guitar tone that sounds great while practicing alone won’t necessarily cut through on stage. I suggest you experiment in rehearsal with the band to find better EQ settings for your preset(s). Or make a recording of certain songs or just song sections with everyone in the band playing except you. Then take that home and experiment with adding your guitar to the mix. Focus on the mid range where the guitar shines and cut the low end to get rid of muddiness that results from fighting with your bass player for those frequencies. You could use Global EQ for this but that’s really intended to be adjusted to suit different venues you may play in rather than to compensate for all presets. Learn the EQ settings that work with your band and apply those to all presets. Might be helpful to get your drummer to play less aggressively but good luck with that.

Sorry for the misinformation. Hope you get things sorted out.

Unfortunately it seems this works on a preset, not global basis. Submit a feature request. Yes, you need to use a cable.
