Have you tried updating on the device itself, not using Central or the app?

Wow. Seems I hit a nerve. I said nothing about comparing Stadium to Quad Cortex or any other Capture/Proxy technology. I simply stated the obvious: If the result of any capture process is audibly different from the target sound (which is what you have stated twice now) the capture is inaccurate. If you think the difference sounds better, that's great. I’m sure you’ve found Stadium Proxy captures that sound worse. No argument here. But producing a sound that’s audibly different is neither the intention nor purpose of Capturing/Cloning. "... expound about from behind a computer keyboard''' "? I'm not stating an opinion; just a tautology. If a Capture/Proxy sounds different from the target it’s inaccurate. Full stop.

What OS is running on your Mac Mini?

Interesting comment. Surely the measure of quality for a proxy/clone capture is the degree to which it matches the sound of the original. If it sounds subjectively different, for better or worse, then the capture is inaccurate. No?

Yes, and no, respectively.

You report a bug by opening a support ticket (follow Support link at the top of this page). If this does turn out to be a bug… great catch!

Uhh … well …. no. Not all of us. If you do, why watch at all? Let’s see. No ebook manual, no videos, …… So …. you prefer to carry a large book (printed pdf version) with you, especially on planes?

What audio interface are you using? Check its Input Level trim for the guitar input. The incoming signal direct from your guitar is Instrument level. The processed signal coming if from Helix is probably Line level. Big difference. Unless the interface is compensating there’s bound to be lower volume and more noise.

Not sure, but Catalyst manual says: Momentary type footswitches can be assigned to work with your Catalyst via the Catalyst Edit software. ... so maybe not fixed in hardware? I don't know if Catalyst Edit can also make your latching LFS2 work as a momentary for POD Express. I don't own any of the products involved here - I'm just going by manuals, which you could do too if you want to pursue it.

I believe you can configure them using your Catalyst. But, since you haven’t yet tried it it might work already. Try it.

Thanks for reporting back. Overall I’ve found AI to be helpful but it’s given me lots of inaccurate info too.

Try it and let us know.

You say Reaper is not working in iOS. It doesn’t and never did. If you actually mean Mac OS, read on. Do you still have your Helix Floor? If so, connect and try using it again with your current Mac/Reaper setup. If it works jot down all audio settings in both Mac and Reaper; they try Stadium again making sure all settings are identical. If Helix no longer works then something has changed in your setup to break it. Find that and reproduce in Stadium.

The only adjustments I've ever made have been to take advantage of new models or features. For instance I adjusted many presets when the new cab engine was introduced. I’ve never noticed any changes to the sound of existing presets, although I know that in some cases changes were made to specific models. With almost every new firmware release I hear reports from some people that they ‘feel like’ it sounds different for better or worse. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a verifiable case.

Since you're asking specifically about the LFS2 I assume you already have it. I also assume you are familiar (from the manual) with the required setup and you've tried it unsuccessfully. Try configuring it differently, e.g. latching vs. momentary. If you don't already have the LFS2 here's a helpful snip from the Pod express manual: NOTE: Expression pedal and footswitches are sold separately: The Line 6 EXP-1 expression pedal is a fine choice (available from the Line 6 Online Shop), or most 3rd party expression pedals will work as well. For single or dual external footswitches, you’ll want to get the “momentary” (non-latching) type.

Not a dumb question at all. People have been asking since the dawn of time whether or not that damn tree makes a sound! And there are age-old statements like this: “This sentence is a lie.” True or false?

Global Settings -> MIDI -> Send MIDI PC Again, the manual….. use it!

I would be happy to have a phone or video call with you. If you give me contact information I will follow up to arrange the details.

If a tree falls in the forest..... How do you define 'sound'? If you define it by what your ear hears, then there is necessarily a speaker of some sort involved (guitar amp, studio monitors, headphones,...). And that means you are not hearing what you call the 'real' sound; you're hearing the sound coloured by the speaker and there are as many sounds as there are speakers. If you define sound as the presence of a physical waveform then you can see (but not hear) the 'real' sound in the recording of the dry signal. As soon as you listen to it it's no longer the 'real' sound you are seeking; it's been coloured. In other words, a rather meaningless question appealing only to philosophers and perhaps quantum physicists for whom the observation of an event affects the event itself.

You should not need the battery in #2. Try removing it and using a TS cable to your Vox. Does behaviour change? In fact, using both VDI connection and battery simultaneously can overload and damage internal circuitry in the guitar. Avoid doing that. What’s the current state? Did you manage to update the firmware? Is Workbench HD working now?

Have you considered replacing the HX One with the HX FX?

Weird. I would open a support ticket. Meanwhile you could try reinstalling the firmware. Start up Stadium in Maintenance mode first and Create Backup. Use Line 6 Central to reinstall firmware. Then startup in Maintenance mode again to Restore Factory Defaults, Restore Backup, then Shutdown. Just for completeness I would reinstall the Stadium app as well.

Is this it? It says MKII not Bogner and I'm not sure if it's the one you're looking for. https://line6.com/legacy/sv112 .... but it's currently returning the dreaded 404. Not sure if that's temporary. Open a support ticket.

The following is a bit theoretical but may be useful for you….. You know from using any guitar tuner that standard tuning is A440. That’s the frequency of the A note on the 5th fret of the 1st (high E) string. An octave in music is a doubling of the frequency. Hence the A note on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string has a frequency of 220, and the open A 5th string is 110. The 17th fret of the 1st string is 880. When you want to have those frequencies ‘cut through’ make sure you make them prominent in your EQ settings. The most common way to do this is to cut adjacent frequencies rather than boost those frequencies, but you can do either or a combination of both. I like to use a parametric EQ to let me select specific frequencies to target . Experiment with the Q value to broaden or narrow the effective frequency range. Relatively small adjustments of 2-5 db can make a big difference to the tone. For each song solo think about where you are playing on the fretboard and what frequency range is involved. Focus on making those frequencies prominent. It may be different for different songs; it may even be different for each song section. That’s where Snapshots come in really handy; a Verse snapshot and a Lead snapshot with different EQ settings. A small lead boost is helpful too but frequencies are important. As already mentioned interactions with your bass player can muddy the low end. Understand the frequencies they are using in each song and leave that range to them; cut those in your guitar tone - not so much that they are gone but enough that they don’t interfere. Hope this is helpful and doesn’t come across as stating the obvious.
