Check the Global Settings section of the manual (starting on pg 38) to make sure the various send/receive levels of the 4CM connections are compatible.

Hi Charlie. There's a list of compatible routers and adapters in the M20d FAQs: It's old and afaik there's no more recent list that addresses newer products. I have used the Apple products listed in the FAQ for years and have had no problems. I expect any newer versions of these Apple products would work but can't be sure.

And then there's the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who stayed up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

The title of your post suggests you are using Helix, although you posted in the POD sub-forum. Assuming you are using Helix: - Headphones: check Global Settings -> Ins/Outs page 2 -> Volume Knob Controls. Make sure the Volume knob is set to control the headphones. - joystick: check Global Settings -> Preferences -> Joystick Encoder. You can set the joystick rotation to either change models in the current selection or scroll along the signal path to select the adjacent FX block.

You can use two inputs and get two independent signals from the Variax but you can't use two Variax models. One of the inputs can use a model but the other must use the Variax magnetic pickups. This can be done using VDI; no need for the analog output from the Variax.

All true. Again, I'm not disputing any of that. Simply pointing out that there is one situation in which you don't need to manually track IRs.

There are all kinds of reasons... 1) You are hearing a recording. What was the recording process? What is the quality of the tools and equipment used? Was any post-processing done? Was the sound recorded 'direct' from the amp's line out or was it a mic'd amp? If the former, it bypassed the physical amp's cab so reference to the cab John was using is irrelevant. If the latter, what mic was used and where was it positioned, exactly? 2) The guitar may be the same, but of course two different guitars of the same model from the same manufacturer can sound different. There's no such thing as two identical guitars in terms of the tone produced by each. Also, what exactly were the settings of the pickup selector, vol, and tone knobs that John used at the time of recording? All of these will affect the tone. 3) Your monitoring equipment (speakers, amp, ...) plays a huge role in the tone that you hear. Again, this goes back to the tools and equipment used for the recording vs. the tools and equipment you are using when listening to the playback. 4) Playing technique. The tone is in the fingers, as they say. Unless you are playing with exactly the same technique, and the same fingers/picks as John, it will sound different. .... and I expect there are other factors as well.....

It's a whole separate online forum, not hosted by Line 6. Google it.

Hmmmm........... here's a thought that I haven't tested but just might work. As of firmware v2.80 Helix is able to control Variax string level on an individual string basis. I wonder what would happen if you used a dual path Helix preset with the Input block of both paths set to Variax. In each path you could set different string levels. So for your bass amp path set the level for the 4 top strings to zero, meaning only strings 5 and 6 would be processed. Similarly, set the level for strings 5 and 6 to zero in your guitar amp path. Might that do what you want? To avoid confusion you would probably need to select the same Variax Model for both input paths.

I have already moved this topic to the proper forum. Check the parameters on the Tuner display screen. Make sure it is set to Mute.

Well, the fact is that the hardware configuration of the POD Go is not going to change at this point. It has no XLR Out. No amount of debate here is going to change that. You can add this request to Ideascale for a possible POD Go V2. If an XLR Out is a strict requirement for you, then the POD Go is not for you. If you're willing to work around it you can.

Just be aware that Line 6 does not support ASIO4ALL. It is not a fully compliant ASIO driver and has been known to cause problems with Line 6 devices. If you encounter any issues Line 6 Support will, rightly, tell you to use th Line 6 ASIO driver and call back if problems persist.

Glad to hear it. Hope things go smoothly now.

Again, I agree with you. But perhaps we should let the OP decide for himself what he might find helpful. That's not up to you to say. I and rvroberts have offered him something. While his current question pertains to a very specific circumstance who's to say our suggestions won't be helpful in another context? I agree that the info you provided is very relevant. But there are other considerations and information that he should also be made aware of. He may share your opinion that there's nothing he can do. He may not.

Make sure the battery is lying flat in the rear portion of the compartment then slide it forward while keeping it flat. I find that it doesn't slide in properly if it is raised at an angle at all.

Neither rvroberts nor I are disputing your point, which is valid. We're simply offering the OP options. He can decide whether or not he likes them.

Using the backup and restore feature in HX Edit eliminates the need for manual IR tracking. This feature backs up all IRs and restores them to the same location.

The manual doesn't mention that the receivers have to be changed between RF1 and RF2 mode - just the transmitters. So I expect you don't have to do anything with the receivers. It's all in the transmitter (mic).

Is your diagram accurate in terms of the orientation of the antennas? It shows them oriented horizontally, which minimizes the amount of the signal that is actually hitting the antennas. Try orienting them vertically, and at about a 45 degree angle to the sides, so that the antennas are pointing to the ceiling and outwards. That way much more of the signal (a waveform) will actually hit each antenna. Also, you might want to avoid putting chairs/people on the top tier directly in front of the rack. Try to maintain a line of sight from the stage to the antennas..

Do you have the rackmount antennas positioned at least 6 ft high? If there is not a good line-of-sight from receiver to antenna you can get interference. Human bodies are good at blocking these signals. Also make sure there are no wi-fi transmitters (e.g. routers) near the rackmount antennas; at least several feet of separation is required.

Thanks for clarifying for me. Appreciated. Now that I understand I can see how this would be very useful.

So your links are to IR -generating code, not actual IR wav files? Sorry if I am being dense but I have no interest or experience in generating my own IR files but I am interested in IR files offered by others (especially for free!).

I'm still confused. Your title suggests that there are IRs (wav files) available for free download. Is that correct? If so, where exactly?

I have moved this topic to the sub-forum Promote Your Patches which is intended for presets being sold.

No. Helix presets are not compatible with the Firehawk.
