Well, I’d give you 100 to 1 odds that it will….. Makes no sense to include a VDI input on the D10 if all it does is supply power to the Variax. And a phrase I recall Eric Klein saying in the launch video when talking about the D10 is something like ‘We’re not going to abandon our Variax and PowerCab owners.’ But, as you say, that’s not 100% confirmation.

There is only 1 USER PRESETS list, and it’s technically not a setlist. It’s the one on the right in your image, with the USER PRESETS highlighted and selected. The other items in the list below it are called setlists. If you select one of those you will see in the right hand panel a list of preset names selected from the USER PRESETS list (aliases containing pointers to a subset of the USER PRESETS) that comprise that specific setlist. As far as I know you can’t filter the USER PRESETS list to get a display of USER PRESETS that are not in any setlist, I.e. not aliased at all.

Open a support ticket to report a possible bug.

Yes, that is odd. You could open a support ticket to report a possible bug.

You could open a support ticket with this question.

I wonder if it's actually possible in the analog world of pedals and amps to instantaneously change the parameter levels as your snapshots are doing. If even possible, would it result in the same popping? If so, that's your answer: the models are accurately reflecting the behaviour of the physical devices they are based on. Do your other presets have the same type of level/gain changes when switching snapshots?

Are you hearing your unprocessed guitar through a non-XLR output/monitor? I presume you don't mean that you are just hearing the natural string vibrations because you are still able to hear that with Stadium. If it's a specific output, is it available for selection in the 'Specific Output' options list? EDIT: I just noticed the post by jpdennis, after I posted the above. Forgive my redundancy.

Thanks for the info. I have now tested using a 256 card and see no issues. The card is useful now for system backup/restore.

You're probably already aware but an advantage of dry recording and Helix Native is that you can import/export Helix presets between Native and your LT, meaning you can easily transfer your studio tone to the stage and vice versa. Again, you might want to use both setups (one at a time) depending on the circumstance. In the end it's what's in your DAW that matters, not how it got there.

The push/turn action needs to be quick. Release the knob immediately after turning, then adjust the value.

You can submit a feature request here: https://line6.com/company/contact/productfeedback/ But I’m curious about what you consider ‘new’ here. You can (and always could) edit all you want directly on almost any Line 6 device when taking it outside your studio. Do you just mean that the touchscreen makes it easier?

Yes you can assign multiple FX block bypass functions to the same footswitch. When the device detects a multiple assignment it will prompt you to decide whether to Replace the current assignment, or Merge it allowing the multiple assignments. When Saving the preset make sure the assigned individual blocks are On or Off as you desire. After saving the footswitch will toggle between the on/off states for each FX block.

I haven’t tested a higher capacity card but I don’t foresee any issues. Inserting and formatting a new card should not disturb anything already on the device - presets, IRs, etc. However I strongly recommend that, as a precaution, you perform a Backup using your current card before swapping. With that you can always recover your pre-card-swap installation. In fact I think using multiple SD cards is a good strategy for managing device content for multiple purposes, e.g. different bands and Setlists, or exceeding the 512 preset limitation. With the pending release of Showcase, and the new preset management scheme - namely that there is only one copy of each preset onboard, with setlists containing only aliases and Songs able to invoke presets and Snasphots - all the Song, Setlist, and Preset data on the device and the SD card at any time comprise a tightly integrated and potentially large dataset. Managing multiple cards with different datasets, using the Backup/Restore feature, will become common practice in the future I believe.

Click on the Downloads button at the top of this page. On the next screen select Helix Stadium from the drop down menu in the middle (software) field.

Perhaps it needs more ventilation, especially underneath. If it is sitting on a soft surface, such as a carpet that shows footprints, place a hard solid surface underneath it.

Open a support ticket if you haven’t already.

Check #2 under Known Issues. It may be relevant.

If/when you just want to record your guitar and perhaps an external keyboard or something similar I suggest you use the Helix LT as your audio interface. If/when you need more simultaneous inputs for recording then use the Focusrite as your audio interface and feed the LT analog outputs into it if desired. Using the LT and its ASIO driver will allow you to record both the dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) guitar signals simultaneously into Reaper. You can then easily apply plugins to the dry signal.

Not at this time. I expect a USB-C connection will be implemented at some point but that’s not been confirmed.

No plans for a Stadium Rack have been announced.

To rename a preset using the Helix Stadium device (not the editor program): 1) Select the USER Presets list (not a custom setlist). 2) Select the preset. 3) Touch the preset name at the top of the display. 4) Touch the Rename Preset option in the options list that appears at the right of the display. 5) Use the pop-up keyboard to rename the preset. 6) Touch the DONE button. To rename a preset using the Helix Stadium editor program: 1) Select the USER Presets list (not a custom setlist). 2) Select the preset. 3) Click on the preset name at the top of the display. 5) Use your computer keyboard to rename the preset. 6) Hit the ENTER key. If this does not work, open a support ticket.

You mention the Helix editor. The editor for Helix Stadium is called Helix Stadium. Are you using it?

Yes, that’s a big conceptual change from the way presets and Setlists are handled in Helix. The Helix Stadium online manual has a good section on this. Worth reading.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten that they can be linked.

No, I don't think so. The Master volume knob controls the 3 outputs independently. To test this (I haven't done so) I suggest wearing headphones AND using one or both of the 1/4"/XLR outputs. Use the Matrix Mixer to set initial output levels for all of the outputs. Then, try putting one of the phones (L or R) to your ears while also listening to the other output (1/4" or XLR). Select the Phones output in hte Matrix Mixer and increase its level. You should hear the volume increase in the phone that's beside your ear. If the volume level of the other output does not increase then the levels are independent. If the other level does increase along with the phones level then your statement is correct.
