Are you not using an amp model in your preset? This provides the same tone stack as your physical amp. Please attach a copy of your preset and we can have a look and perhaps advise from there. Many, many people are using both an amp and a PA quite successfully and are not using their physical guitar amp preamp. Massive EQing is not required. There seems to be something wrong in your setup.

First off, those statements are contradictory. I would try using the EQ available on the Stomp and connect the Stomp output to a Return on your amp, not the guitar input. Set your PA EQ to neutral. Experiment with the different EQ features on the Stomp (EQ blocks, hi/lo filters on the cab block, different mics and placements, Tone parameters in FX blocks, Bias level in Master amp section) until you don’t have to do significant EQ on either your amp or most PAs. It is normal to have to do some EQ on the PA due to different room acoustics.

Is it possible that you are mistakenly pressing the wrong footswitch, or two footswitches at once, when this happens?

Because there’s something wrong with the installation of either HX Edit or Win 10, or a conflict between HX Edit and some other program installed on your computer. I would look for any USB issues first.

I hope this answer is helpful. I am responding just to let you know that your post is visible to the community. I don’t know if anyone has actually tried this and unless they have they likely won’t respond. So in case you hear silence…. Your question has been heard.

Another way of looking at what’s correctly described above: The Mix control operates within the FX block, affecting the dry/wet blend of the signal reaching the FX block output The Level control affects the loudness of the output in the overall preset. For example, you could set a very high Mix level so that the tonal impact of the FX block is very noticeable. But if you set the Level control very low you may not be able to hear that impact.

You are misunderstanding the concept of snapshots. There are, indeed, only four (limited by device design and architecture) and exactly one of them is always active. You can’t turn them all ‘off’, you must have one active at any given time. It’s similar to the pickup selector switch on a guitar. The switch is always in one position or another and one combination of pickups is always active. There’s no extra position to ‘turn them all off’ and still have sound.

The most likely reason other people’s patches sound rubbish to you is that they probably were not designed to be played through your engl amp. If the patch includes cab modeling and you listen to it played through your cab it will definitely sound like rubbish. Play those patches through a PA or studio monitors rather than your amp and they will probably sound much better. That’s what they were likely designed for. Also if you want to try a different sound and are searching for patches based on that you might expect to hear, well, a different sound. And you may simply not like it. Personally I’ve never found a hi-gain patch I like. They all sound rubbish to me.

Before you install things, check the OS compatibility that is listed with each piece of software in the Downloads section. If it says the software is compatible with Windows 11 then proceed to install. If not there’s probably no point. You can do this before you get a new computer.

Since this is your first post I approved it because your question is legitimate. In future please refrain from including promotional links.

I’m not in the vicinity but would be happy to have a video meeting with you. If interested let me know how to contact you offline.

Right. Thanks for the correction.

No, you can have up to 8 different snapshots in a preset. However your list of FX may be limited by the DSP capacity. Investigate the Helix Command Centre (see manual).Perhaps you can use Instant Commands to achieve what you want by recalling different Presets rather than Snapshots, or use a combination of both if DSP in the preset becomes an issue.

This user support forum is organized into different sections. I’ve moved your topic to a subforum dedicated to Tone Discussion. It will be more visible there. You can add posts to this thread providing more information, like a link to a video, about the desired preset.

You’re correct. Everything is stored on the device(s). HX Edit does not have a local copy of any data other than a single edit buffer for the active preset. To answer your question the HX Edit manual says this: The HX Edit application supports the use of multiple-connected Helix/HX devices simultaneously, where each device displays its own full application window. The separate windows can be resized and/or positioned on your screen independently, making it easy to reference and edit presets and settings, as well as copy presets and IRs between the multiple USB-connected devices. Please also see “GUI Overview” on page 9. TIP: You can also use the Copy and Paste commands or drag and drop to copy a block and its current settings from one HX Edit device window to another! To access the separate application windows for each connected device, simply go to the HX Edit Devices menu, select the desired device to display, and bring its HX Edit window to the foreground—a checkmark at the left of a device here indicates the device window that is currently in the foreground. If any of your devices become disconnected, its entry within this menu displays “Not connected” to indicate this.

I suspect a power supply problem. You mention ‘at home’ as distinct from some other place so I doubt it has anything to do with the house/venue power. More likely the POD Go wall wart is failing or there’s an internal circuitry issue. If you can get another power supply I would try that first.

At least the seller told you in advance…. 1. Not that I can see. Believe the seller. 2. No. 3. Call your nearest Line 6 service centre.

I posted this some time ago. Might help.

1. The path is stereo, meaning that it carries either a dual-mono signal leaving a mono FX block, or a stereo signal after leaving a stereo FX block. A stereo FX block effectively handles both of the dual-mono signals independently (no need to split them internally) and sends out a stereo signal. There is no need to use a FX block to split the signal into L and R at any point. However you do need to use a stereo (TRS) cable for the Send jack to enable a stereo signal from that jack. 2. Up to you. You either hard pan left in one situation or disconnect a cable in the other. In either case you need to do something manually. Your choice. Personally I would prefer to use less hardware, so no need for a replacement or additional DI box if you don’t want one. If the mixer can afford to give you 2 channels then you can do stereo. If not, disconnect the R output cable.

1. Generally, yes. You don’t mention using any amp/cab/IR blocks. Be aware that those are mono blocks so there’s no point in using any stereo blocks preceding them in the signal chain. Anywhere there’s a mono block in your signal chain it will defeat any preceding stereo blocks.; hence make sure you use a stereo EQ block after the Returns. 2. You don’t need to split the path; it is already a stereo path. Hence you only need one stereo EQ a block. The Send jack is also stereo but you need to use a TRS cable. 3. Use only the L/Mono output. That automatically sums the signal to mono if the R output is not used. 4. Come back later with more specific questions.

In the Dynamics -> Legacy models.

The best bet to get the sort of detail you need is to download the HX Stomp/StompXL manual and read the MIDI section.
