I think the best place to start would be the MIDI section in the manual.

If I understand correctly you need to set up individual presets in your HX stomp and use the Command Centre in the Stomp to define the MIDI commands you want to send to your external equipment when the Stomp preset is selected. Your HX Stomp becomes your system midi controller. Then as you load the individual Stomp presets your external devices will be configured as specified.

It’s already here, called the HX FX!! More than three at a time but FX only - no amp/cab modeling. Designed specifically to integrate into your analog pedalboard.

Perhaps this will help……

The simple and official answer is no. Older Variax models (pre-JTV) are not supported in the Helix family. In practice my Helix is able to switch models in my Variax 300 using stored presets. However that is a fortunate holdover of some sort and is not guaranteed to happen with your Helix/Variax combination. And certainly the reverse is not true. When I manually change a Variax model using the model knob it is not tracked by Helix. In fact it sometimes (not always) results in a display of gibberish in the Helix. It has never actually crashed my Helix... yet. So, can you be sure that you are 'able to assign the Variax model change in the Helix presets...'? No, but maybe it will.

The most obvious answer is that the movement of the cable is causing loss of contact somewhere and interrupting the power flow. The fix would be to secure the power supply cable at both ends and try to avoid moving it while the device is on.

Yes. Follow the Support link at the top of this page. Then scroll down near the bottom to the Account Services section and click on the Register Gear link.

That’s by design. The designers needed to make a default decision about the addition of new blocks. They decided new blocks should be active rather than bypassed by default when added to a preset, snapshots or not. Remember that lots of people never even use snapshots. Probably the best decision imo; in most cases when you add a block you want it active; usually that’s why you’re adding it.

That’s a hardware issue caused by a loose connection inside the device or a failing part. Open a support ticket.

No, can’t do that.

I don’t know what the problem is but it seems you have a solution. You can let theory continue to bother you if you wish…. Also, remember that the Helix LT is an audio interface itself. Do you really need the Audient?

Glad to help. You’re getting close. My suggestion is to use a dual path (not parallel path) preset with a different Send block at the end of each path. Using dual paths maximizes the available DSP in your preset meaning you can add more processing blocks along with each amp model. Think of it this way: two couples rent a 2-bedroom Airbnb. Would both couples choose to stay in one bedroom and leave the other empty (parallel paths) or would they choose to occupy one bedroom each to maximize the use of available space (dual paths)? (Let’s not get into whether or not the couples are polyamorous!) Here’s my recommended setup in detail: - start with a New Preset. Use both Input blocks, Path 1 and Path 2. Set both to use your guitar as Input (default Multi works too since it includes guitar). - add your desired amp models (no cab/IR block); use one amp in each path. - add whatever FX blocks you want in each path. - In Path 1 add the Send 1 block at the end of the signal chain just before the Output block. You will see both Send 1 and Send 2 as separate options when you add a Send block to the path. Do not select the FX Loop block. - In Path 2 add the Send 2 block at the end of the signal chain just before the Output block. - pan one Send block fully L and the other fully R. Make sure each Send block is set to Instrument level output. - make sure the FX block immediately before each Send block is a mono block; this will ensure that the panning captures the entire signal. - connect your cables from each Send output to your amp’s respective FX Return inputs. - ignore the preset’s Output blocks and do connect cables to the Main Outs UNLESS you also want to send a signal to the FOH/mixer. If so then you need to decide what you want to send there.

The UX2 is not a Bluetooth device and there’s nothing you can do to make it one. If you need to use Bluetooth you will need to find a solution that uses the UX2 audio outputs connected to some external Bluetooth compatible device(s). I expect there’s some dongle or other out there that connects to a regular audio output, converts the sound to Bluetooth, and pairs with Bluetooth headphones. Google is your friend.

Since it’s brand new it will be under warranty. I would open a support ticket to work directly with Line 6 tech support (this is a user community forum). Click on the Support link at the top of this page. Then click Contact Support to be able to open a ticket.

Please describe exactly what ’it’ is. Remember - the plectrum appears normally with licensed (purchased) presets from Line 6 Marketplace. I believe this persists seven if you edit/save the preset; its origin remains tagged.

You need to add a Send block at the end of each parallel path, before the Merge block. Use Send 1 in one path and Send 2 in the other. Connect the cables from the Send outputs to your amps’ FX Return jacks accordingly. In Global Settings make sure the Send outputs are set to instrument level.

The M9 is designed to receive instrument level input. I’m not aware of it being adjustable. It is not designed to receive a hot line level input.

Aaah… Well, this is the first mention that you’re connecting to the effects return of your amp(s), not the guitar input. It makes a difference. Essentially then you are using only the power amp and cab section of your guitar amp, not the preamp section. i would still use a dual path preset. In each path use an amp block and any FX you want but no cab/mic since your physical amps are doing that. Avoid using any stereo FX. Put a Send block at the end of each path immediately before the Output block. Use Send 1 in Path 1 and Send 2 in Path 2. Set each to Instrument level and connect them respectively to the Return of your amps. Do not connect anything to the Main Outputs of the Helix.

See Global Settings -> Ins/Outs. Set 1/4” Outputs to Line level and make sure the Audient is configured to receive Line level.

Also if you’re connecting to the Guitar input on your amps make sure the Helix LT output is set to Instrument level.

I receive your attachments as file type php which appear empty to me. Again, why do you want to use the Send blocks/outputs? Use a dual path preset with the Main outputs.

Try using a dual path, not split paths, preset. That will give you two simple stereo paths, each with its own Output block. Don’t use the Send blocks; use just the Output blocks to route your signal L and R.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘split block’. Do you mean split paths, or dual paths? Also, please explain exactly what it is you can do with the XLR outputs that you can’t do with the 1/4”. And when you say ‘amps in stereo’ do you mean one amp in the L stereo channel and the other in the R, or do you mean you have a stereo FX block after both amps and want to maintain that at both outputs? My best guess at getting what you want is to use dual paths with one amp using the output from Path 1 and the other using Path 2. You want one amp to take the L stereo channel as input and the other to take the R channel. You can do that using the 1/4” outputs. In the Output block for each Path select the 1/4” outputs. Then use the Pan control to pan one fully L and the other fully R. Since both paths are stereo make sure you place a mono FX block immediately before the Output block in each path to force a potentially stereo signal to sum to mono.

I don't know the answer to your question; it's probably proprietary information. But I can already hear the answer you'll get from @psarkissian on this. He's the senior Line 6 tech and repair guy for all Variax guitars. He'll say "Don't do this! Get the proper Line 6 power supply." or something like that. For good reason - he sees failed DIY repairs cross his desk all the time.

I would try leaving your Behringer out of the picture and using your Helix as the audio interface. Connect your monitors to the Helix audio outputs. Configure Reaper to use Helix and its ASIO driver. Let us know if problems persist.
