Helix Stadium Native has a built-in A/B feature for such comparisons. There’s a free trial period. Hardware and plug-in presets are interchangeable.

Have you searched the Helix Marketplace options? I found this: https://line6.com/mp/product/3896 … but I’m not a bass player and have no idea whether this would suit you. Just want to point out the Marketplace.

That’s correct. The FX are exactly the same algorithms in Stadium as they are in the original Helix. A few more have been added but they use the same modeling technology. Stadium is all about new amp modeling and features, not FX.

‘Favorites’ applies to Blocks, not Presets. But nothing wrong with setting up a personal Setlist named Favorites and adding your favorite presets to it. Would that achieve what you want?

Update: a quick AI query says this: How Preset Recall Works on FBV3 and Spider V Bank Up / Down Arrows: Scroll up and down through the 32 available user and factory banks. [1, 2] Footswitches A, B, C, and D: Directly recall the four specific presets (A, B, C, or D) contained within the currently selected bank. [1, 2] Second Row Footswitches (FS1–FS5): Control effect bypass and individual parameters within the active preset rather than changing entire amplifier presets. FS1 and FS5 are locked to compressor and reverb, while FS2, FS3, and FS4 control active preset effects (such as modulation, delay, or drive). [1, 2]

You don’t actually save the settings on the footboard but you can use the footswitches on the board to recall any preset that is saved in the amp. I am not familiar with doing that so perhaps someone else here can provide details sometime. For immediate results you could consult the amp/footboard manuals or the Line 6 Knowledge Base. Both can be found under the Support tab at the top of this page.

Have you registered your device?

Yes, open a support ticket also. The more users reporting a bug increases the chance that it will be fixed sooner than later.

Restarted both your computer and the Stadium device? I would open a support ticket to get the USB working with the app.

Did you also update to the latest app version?

Open a support ticket to report the bug.

Only *.wav files are supported when importing Songs. Attempts to import other formates will be unsuccessful.

The recording time is adjustable using the half/full speed and mono/stereo settings. A change there could be responsible for the cutoff. Also, holding down a switch for too long can erase the recording.

Inevitably there is the original pitch you can hear from the natural vibration of the strings. This can be audible if the output volume of the Stadium through speakers or headphones is relatively low. Higher volumes will overpower the natural acoustics. To be sure record a short clip. If the unaltered pitch can be heard in the playback then there’s an issue. If not it’s your ears playing tricks.

I’ve found that the built-in loopers are great for practicing solos and for hands-free tone shaping. However they are not practical for me in a live situation. Too much tap dancing and chance of errors in the footwork, which I suspect is leading to your issues with it. If live looping is important to you I suggest you get an external, more powerful, and easier to ‘play’ dedicated looper pedal. There’s little chance, imho, that Line 6 will put much development effort into improving the looper for live play. They will probably offer improvements at some point in the Helix Stadium platform taking advantage of Showcase features. For instance I expect to see the ability to save loops in some manner and integrate them into Showcase Song track(s) at some point.

No I don’t. Contact the user who uploaded the preset?

btw…. I have submitted a feature request that Customtone be updated to include associated Clone files in a Stadium Preset download. If you agree you can submit another request for this here: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

In Customtone select Stadium as the product. On the following page you will see a list of presets. At the top of that page you can select Clones.

Define and understand your requirements. Search the marketplace for a device that currently meets all requirements. Don’t buy something that may (or may not) meet one or more of those requirements sometime in the future. Just because something is older doesn’t mean it doesn’t meet your requirements. Every electronic device eventually fails, so age is a consideration but if it’s working when you buy it, it could continue to work for several years, but don’t expect the manufacturer to keep it up to date with evolving computer OSs.. If you buy it used make sure you have an adequate test/trial period or return policy. Don’t expect infinite product support from the manufacturer. If you buy it used for cash from a stranger in a parking lot with no opportunity to test it … that might work out OK, but it might not. Good luck.

Try logging out in the Stadium app and then logging back in.

Thanks for your detailed investigations, @littlespaceman. This sounds like a bug. I suggest that anyone experiencing this open a support ticket. Please report back to let us know the response.

See the Snapshot section of the manual. View the video at the top of that section, starting at the 0:50 second mark.

The Tuner should mute only the selected Input(s). Assuming your guitar is connected to the Guitar input set the Tuner input to Guitar, not something like Multi. If the Tuner Input is set to only Guitar, then other inputs such as XLR or Return should not be recognized by the Tuner and hence should not be muted.

No, that behaviour is normal and correct UNLESS you have assigned the routing parameter (the one you set to A100) to the Snapshot controller. If you have made that assignment and still get this behaviour then, yes, it is wrong.
