It could be a settings issue. You're probably already aware of the Matrix mixer in Stadium, and that the 1/4", XLR, and headphones output levels can be controlled individually or all together. There's also a Global Setting that controls 1/4" and XLR output levels. This is just a guess but the latter may interact with the former. In other words, if you have the XLR outputs set to Mic rather than Line, and you have the mixer controls such that all outputs are controlled together, your headphones output might be lower than expected. Make sure the headphones output is controlled independently in the Matrix.

How are you monitoring? Guitar amp? Headphones? Speakers? What kind?

Another patch culprit mentioned above is KB5101650.

Don’t know. And Line 6 does not make their product development plans and activities public knowledge. If it happens you’ll hear about it when it happens.

Yes, there probably will be another update at some point because Line 6 has said so. But the timing is not, and likely will not be, known in advance. And OG Helix units have already been left behind in terms of features, capability, DSP capacity, touch screen, etc. …. and that will continue.

Not ideal but you could pick up an old laptop that runs an old OS that is compatible with the original Workbench program that is compatible with your Variax 700. That will allow you to create alternate tunings and store them with the model in your V700. The Helix LT will never be fully compatible with your V700 but in some cases it will successfully store and recall V700 models in LT presets. However this is not supported and may not work for you.

The official method for bringing feature requests like this directly to the attention of Line 6 is here: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/

…. and also make sure your firmware is up to date. I recall there were some Flag issues in previous releases.

I would open a support ticket for two reasons: 1) if it is a bug that’s the official way to report it to Line 6, and 2) if there is some possible recovery they are the ones most likely to know about it. Meantime maybe someone here has other information.

While there are only 5 icons that say "FX" the bypass state of the other icons can also be assigned to a footswitch. For instance, you can change the Wah FX to be turned on/off using a footswitch rather than the Exp Toe switch. You can even assign block parameter values to a footswitch. For instance, you can assign the amp's Gain parameter to toggle between two values. See the Pod Go Edit manual for details.

This seems to be a question about gain staging, which is a whole world of its own. In the digital world there is an opportunity for clipping and harshness to occur at virtually all points in your signal flow, especially if you increase a block's Level parameter above 0db. This can potentially overdrive the input of any following block(s) causing clipping and harshness. The Stadium's Output block will tell you if/when clipping is occurring, as described in the manual. If it is, you need to identify which block(s) in the signal chain is causing it and reduce the output level of that block. In my experience the best way to do that is to bypass all blocks and listen to the effectively dry incoming signal. If the Output block still shows clipping then you need to reduce the level of the incoming signal from external equipment, or address it in the Input block by lowering the Trim parameter. After all blocks are bypassed and the Input Trim is reduced if required, then you begin to turn the processing blocks ON one at a time. I generally begin with the amp . If that introduces clipping at the Output block you need to lower the Gain, Level, or Master level - or perhaps the Tone stack levels - in the amp block. These interact with each other so you may need to adjust more than one. Then I move on to the cab block which can introduce fizz and harshness. Experiment with mics, and Hi/Low cut levels. Once the Output block is no longer clipping with amp/cab active, and you don't find the tone too harsh, you can move on to other blocks in the preset. Continue to activate them one at a time. If clipping appears at the Output block, lower the levels in the offending block. Rinse and repeat until your preset no longer shows clipping at the Output block. Tedious? Yes. But learning how to properly gain stage your signal path is a critical part of preset and tone development. The art of Gain Staging is not specifically a Line 6 or Stadium topic. It's a general audio engineering art/skill. Google and/or your favourite AI agent can help you learn more.

Have you tested your headphones?

You can assign the same switch as the Bypass controller for both overdrive FX blocks. Manually turn both blocks ON (or OFF) and Save the preset. Henceforth the assigned switch will work as a toggle to turn both overdrives on/off with each press of the switch.

(I have moved this to the proper subforum) There is a banner at the t top of this page that might help. https://line6.com/support/announcement/120-pod-studio-owners-line-6-monkey-and-line-6-license-manager-retiring-on-april-10th-2026/

Line 6 Monkey has been retired as described in a banner at the top of this page. Stadium will support Variax models JTV and later with the pending release of the Expand D-10. I continue to use Workbench HD with my Helix Rack and JTV-59 on Windows 11 as desired. Mostly these days I use my Stadium Floor with my 59 on battery power. I await the D-10 for full Stadium/Variax integration.

Are you running the latest firmware? iirc a recent update fixed some Song Flag issues.

This is a comprehensive set of new feature requests. The official way to submit such requests is here: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/ What I don’t understand is why you request these features in the context of so-called ‘worship’ music. Would they not be helpful in any other context? Perhaps I am a member of a Satanic Worship, or Death Metal, cult. I could use those features too. Why the exclusive approach? A cult is a cult, under any name.

No one has any experience with that yet because the required Expand D10 device is not yet available.

Not currently possible. Submit a feature request.

See the Discard Edits parameter in the Snapshot Panel. Set that On.

Since you replied “Correct” I assume that you’ve set the Showcase/Song appropriately before shutdown, and that your Stadium is now starting up as you desire. I guess you can consider that to be disabling the function. It should start up as desired every time now until you activate a differently configured Song before shutting down.

I believe that when Stadium starts up it momentarily loads the preset that was active at shutdown. However, it then consults Showcase and loads the preset, if any, specified in the active Song. To ensure that Showcase does not change the preset, load a Song that does not specify a preset before shutdown.

This is from the FAQ a section in Support, the Model Packs and Licenses page: https://kb.line6.com/model-packs-licenses-faq Q: Can I transfer model packs from my account to a different account? A: Yes. This is called "gifting" (see how to gift below). Q: How do I gift a store order? A: Log in to your Line 6 account, visit the Purchase History page, and click the Details link for the order. Click the link/button labeled "gift", then enter the destination Line 6 account username and click confirm. The order will still show in your account history, but you will not have access to the license(s) from the order, be able to return it, or be able to gift it again. In the giftee's account, they will see the order in their history, but not be able to return or gift it. They will have access to all the license(s) in the order. You would need to find someone willing to gift their license to you. Ideally, that someone would respond here and proceed with the gifting. Note that the above FAQ is quite old, referring in other paragraphs to the now-retired License Manager. There’s a banner at the top of this page providing info about that.

Wow! That’s persistence! Glad you finally got it working, and thanks for sharing the successful recipe. Might be useful for others.

I can’t speak to the other products you mention but I can say that the M20d was very easy for me to use as an inexperienced ‘sound guy’. The following is intended to speak to the usability of the M20d in that context. My first live use of it outside my studio was in 2017 with a 9-piece band: 5 vocalists and 4 instruments (guitar, keyboards, bass and drums) playing in a roughly 300-seat theatre. I knew that info in advance but I had never met the band. I prepared an appropriate Scene in advance using only the factory channel presets. At sound check the full band was up and running as quickly as the physical cables could be connected to the channel inputs. We did a quick 3-minute or so recording to the onboard SD card. TheM20d Main Outputs were connected to a single stereo channel on the house mixer and the main speakers. I played back the recording immediately and I remember one band member looking confused and asking “Where’s that sound coming from? We just played that.” They listened and provided feedback as I did the channel leveling, panning, soloing, and some minor tweaking to EQ and FX on each channel/instrument so that they could hear exactly what the audience would hear. Only very basic knowledge was required to do this. When they were satisfied with the overall mix i saved the Scene and the show was ready to go. I have to say it was a very successful and high-quality performance from a sound perspective. I subsequently used that Scene again with the same band in future concerts. I still love my M20d with a pair of L2ts and an L3s, and it still works perfectly.
