Is your Helix connected to your computer via USB when this is happening? If so try disconnecting it. If the problem is USB related, try turning down your computer volume.

You need to open a support ticket to officially report a bug. That way it will definitely be seen by Line 6 developers. This is a user support forum and Line 6 staff don’t generally hang out here.

When I get disconnected I do the following things that often work: 1) When disconnected I usually see a screen that has two connection options: AutoConnect and Connect. I select Connect and then on the next page I hover my mouse over the WAN/LAN network icon with the words Helix Stadium. A connect button appears to the right of it. I select that. 2) If that repeatedly fails I restart the Helix Stadium app. If this is happening frequently open a support ticket. I too would like to see a tethered USB-C option.

Note that the system Backup/Restore capability might be useful here. You could use multiple backup files to keep your Band 1 and Band 2 USER presets, custom Setlists, and Song data discrete and separate, perhaps but not necessarily on different SD cards. You would need to manage your own association of automatically generated backup filenames and SD cards to different contexts.

So perhaps the simplest answer to the original question of this thread is: Any amp in the Legacy category has its Agoura model in the Guitar category.

That’s expected, I think. The Legacy category includes all and only HX amps that have been Agoura-fied . You’ll find the non-Agoura-fied amps in the Guitar Amps category.

Pardon the redundancy, but I’ll repost here my comment from another thread in which you mention this….. Make sure you are aware of the Snapshot Discard Edits On/Off settings, and its potential role in what you may be considering a bug. It’s possible that the edits you think are not being honoured are in fact following your instruction to discard them.

It’s temporary and discarded when the device is powered off.

Thanks. I had missed that. So it seems there are no older (pre-HX) amp models at all in Stadium.

Please open a support ticket to ‘officially’ report this bug to Line 6 developers. Otherwise they will likely never see this. This thread was established when the Helix product was released many years ago and has now grown to 108 pages. I think its demise is appropriate now and that it should not be extended to the Helix Stadium products.

That might be accurate but I’m not sure. As I understand it the Legacy Amp subcategory includes amp models of previous generations of Line 6 modeling such as POD HD500, or POD XT/X3. The Guitar Amp category includes both Agoura models and Helix models as indicated here: https://line6.com/helix-stadium-models/

fyi…..The raw ability to do this already exists on the device in the form of the Looper. And there are already requests to use the Looper both to create new Showcase Songs (different track for each overdub) and to create USER Preset Clips (no overdubs). I’m hoping both these requests will be implemented soon but we’ll see. Note to readers: If you like either or both of these feature requests please submit your Product Feedback using the link in my previous post above.

You’ve obviously put a lot of time and thought into this.For maximum effectiveness (I.e. to have it noticed by actual Line 6 developers) you should repeat it in the Product Feedback area, which is here: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

Firstly, the official way to make feature requests is to use the Product Feedback form. Look for the “LINE 6 PRODUCT FEEDBACK” link on the bottom left of the Line6.com home page. Secondly, the Variax product line now comes under the ownership of Yamaha as part of the takeover of Line 6 several years ago. Development of several previous Line 6 product lines that competed directly with Yamaha, including Variax and StageSource/Stagescape, were halted at that time. It is unlikely that Variax as a Line 6 brand will ever be seen again. But who knows?

Available now. https://line6.com/helix-stadium-manual/

Yes, the USER setlist contains the single copy of the actual preset. Same with the Factory presets except they can’t be deleted. A custom setlist contains pointers to specific presets (aliases) not a copy of the preset.

Not a sucker at all. Just a consumer who chooses to purchase a product because it offers value to them. I too will get a D-10. Perhaps not a good analogy, but what about ‘all inclusive’ vacations? Alcohol drinkers love the fact that abstainers subsidize their drinking. Abstainers often avoid these packages for that reason. Maybe some day the packages will exclude alcohol (still available ant additional cost) and the price for the package will drop. Drinkers will still pay to drink. (I’m not calling us alcoholics!).

I would open a support ticket.

…. etc…..

There have been many discussions here about that and I can’t hope to summarize in a reasonable amount of time. Try searching the entire forum here. I will spend a few minutes doing the same and will post again with any useful links I come across.

The first thing I notice is that your firmware is well out of date. It’s entirely possible that you’ve come across a bug of some sort that has since been fixed. Update your firmware to the latest version. There won’t be many users here that can test what you’re describing and comment on it. If you don’t want to update you can open a support ticket. But I expect the first thing they’ll say is “Update your firmware”.

I’m not sure what you mean by this. With the ASIO driver installed you can continue to use your DAW with Stadium, and you can continue to use the Helix Native plug-in.

If you right click on that device can you proceed to use it anyway?

Or…. You can use the Showcase feature in Stadium when it arrives. You will be able to create Songs with up to 8 tracks. They will be stored permanently and exist outside of any preset. You can also use Markers in the Song to change setlists, presets, and Snapshots at any Song location. Re: your desire that the Looper be ‘outside’ a patch. There’s no such thing as processing outside a patch. Incoming signals (from guitar or whatever) are processed in patches containing the processing blocks. How would you record a processed sound without a patch containing the Looper block? What I think would be cool is to have the Looper integrated into the Showcase/Song feature so that every time you recorded a Loop, including overdubs, you would have the option to Save it as a new Song with each overdub being a separate track. That way you can decide immediately after a particularly inspirational looping moment to keep it without having to hookup your DAW before leaving the preset. Perhaps that will be a new feature someday!
