Yes, that’s what I think.

Also, there’s a recent issue re: iOS 14. Check the pinned topic in the StageScape forum.

It’s been a while since I used the M20d remote app but I believe the password requested is the password for the WiFi network you are connecting to. It is not an M20d password. In your case I imagine it would be the password you chose when setting up your Apple airport express.

That could be a good definition of static DSP management, and there’s nothing wrong with preferring that. But here’s an analogy that perhaps illustrates the difference clearly. Consider the amount of available DSP in a device as a budget limit similar to having an amount of cash in your pocket. Imagine you have $10 to spend and that you are choosing between one of two stores to spend it in. Store #1 has what some might consider to be a very attractive policy. You can choose any 5 items in the store for $10. Anything - no restrictions. There are no prices associated with any item. Just pick any 5 you want. What’s implied of course is that no single item is worth more than $2. Otherwise they couldn’t have that policy or they’d lose money. So your $10 is ‘fully able to meet the offered features’. This is analogous to static DSP management. Store #2 has a different policy. It offers all the items that Store #1 offers, but it offers other items too. It also associates a price with each item. Many of the items in this store cost more than $2, and there is no limit to the number of items you can purchase. You just have to keep the total cost to no more than your $10 budget. If you want a couple of expensive items you may not be able to afford to get 5 items. This is analogous to dynamic DSP management. You might choose Store #1. I would choose Store #2. Nobody’s right or wrong - just different policies.

Yes, pretty much. Sound perception is subjective though so there will always be someone who think s it sounds great. Maybe you?

Every processor has a limit. That’s a fact, not an ‘overflow problem’. The manufactures of audio signal processing devices handle this in one of two ways: they use static DSP management to constrain the device so that it’s DSP limitation is never encountered by the user, or they use dynamic DSP allocation which permits the user to take advantage of all available DSP meaning the the device limits become visible to the user. Most recent Line 6 guitar processor devices since the POD HD series have used dynamic DSP allocation, including the POD Go. It’s not a problem, it’s a design decision that benefits the user. It places DSP management in the hands of the user and allows the device to be used to its full potential. The POD Go could have been designed to exclude some heavy DSP FX blocks, and/or to limit the flex FX blocks to 3. Seems the Ampero device did this which is both why you don’t encounter its DSP limits and why you can’t use as many FX blocks as you can in the POD Go. I fail to understand how the benefits of dynamic DSP allocation can be perceived as some sort of problem or fault in the design of the device.

If you mean using a cable with USB at one end and RJ-45 at the other end, no that will not work. Line 6 uses a proprietary protocol over the RJ-45 cable; it does not use TCP/IP.

If your PC speakers are external simply connect them to the POD Go audio outputs. If they are internal you will be disappointed by the sound quality compared to the POD Go audio output. A pair of studio monitors would be a great investment.

That's a good procedure as long as, when installing HX Edit. you choose to install all components: the HX Edit program, as well as the known-to-be-compatible versions of the Updater program and the drivers. People get into trouble when they use outdated versions of the Updater or drivers which can easily happen if you don't begin by installing HX Edit and all its components. Whether you install the firmware using the HX Edit program (which enforces a backup) or the Updater program directly (no backup required) shouldn't matter as long as you're using the compatible version of the Updater program. So, the opening lines of your original post are: " I connected the HX Stomp to the updater and installed the newest firmware 2.92. Well, then I openned the HX Editor to start working on some presets." The question is: are you sure you used the compatible version of the Updater program and associated drivers? Were they the version you downloaded and installed with the new HX Edit program or did you use a previous version?

Not 100% sure about that. Presumably there is a piece of Helix firmware that is responsible for handling the USB port. I guess it’s possible that there could be a bug in there that would not be detected via the Helix headphones output. However, if that were the case all users would notice it. The fact that most users are not reporting this issue is, to me, a more persuasive argument that this is not a firmware bug.There is something in this user’s computer environment that is the cause.

It isn’t there because it makes no sense when you’re dealing with a static memory space. The device has a fixed space of internal memory for a fixed number of presets. There are always exactly that many presets stored in memory so conceptually you can’t ‘delete’ one; it’s memory space remains. What you can do is overwrite that preset space with a different preset definition that you consider to be an ‘empty’ preset. The New Preset that appears in the factory presets is an example of an empty preset.

Yes you can do this, and then transfer any useful Helix Native presets to your Helix device - or vice versa in advance. There should be no delay attributable to the headphones. Depending on your computer you may get performance issues if you use many instances of Helix Native or any other plug-in.

If the previous owner removed the gear from their account you will be able to register it normally. If not, contact Line 6 Support and they will help you get it registered in your account. Re: Warranty

Yes. Direct to PA using no guitar amp is one of the most common setups. You can monitor in many ways, including in-ear systems. Other options include traditional on-stage monitors, or your own dedicated on-stage monitor using an FRFR type speaker.

Re: Q2 : I don’t think it ever worked that way. You need to have the same type of looper block in both presets in order for loop playback to continue when switching presets.

Sounds like you may have electrical interference called ground hum. It is not uncommon when audio devices are connected to a computer, particularly a laptop. Try unplugging the computer and running on battery power. If the noise disappears then ground hum is likely the issue. You can purchase a hum eliminator device which should clean up the electrical signal.

True, but this is only a display image issue. The performance and audio from the guitar is the same whether or not the extra image appears in the Workbench HD program.

Curious. I have just repeated your setup. In my Workbench HD. I selected the R-Billy G-Brand body and the images of its 2 pickups appear in the neck and bridge positions with both pickups active. When I select the Middle pickup its image appears in the middle position. However, the bridge pickup is deactivated and its image becomes translucent. In effect the guitar remains a 2-pickup guitar with the bridge pickup active and moved to the middle position even though its translucent image remains. When I deselect the Middle pickup its image disappears and the bridge pickup image remains translucent. It can be reactivated by selecting the Bridge pickup. I experimented a bit. The behaviour changes depending on which of the Neck and Bridge pickups (or both) are active/selected when you select the Middle pickup. However, at all times, the image shows only one or two pickups active. You can't have no active pickups, and you can't have three active on that body type. You can, however, arrange to have only the middle pickup active. In that case you can't delete it because you would then have no active pickups. As mentioned, there must be one or two pickups active and selected at all times. From your picture it appears you may have swapped (clicked/dragged) the positions of the pickup images at some point. By doing so I did manage to create the situation shown in your picture: three pickup images are present with the neck and bridge pickups active while the middle pickup image is translucent and can't be removed because Workbench HD knows it is one of the original two pickups. I don't think it's a bug but it is confusing.

The POD Go sends a midi program change command when changing preset, as described in the manual. Your external drum machine would need to be programmed to make use of these commands.

I like practicing with the looper. I would not like to see it go.

You can go directly to v1.12. No need to progress through the intermediate releases.

No. But you can use the POD Go midi controls for an external drum machine.

The POD Go (and Helix) Looper is useful and designed primarily for two things: - tone creation when in pre- position. Create a loop and tweak the tone, hands free, while it is playing back. - practicing solos when in post-position. Create a loop and solo over it during playback. It is not designed to compete with fully featured looper devices like the RC3. And you're right about using it for live performances: " For those requiring a looper I think you would be much better off with an external controllable looper ...".
