Sounds as a plausible programming error. I made a support ticket for it so let's see what Line6 says. I'll keep you all posted

Thanks for reacting and testing this. I have opened a ticket.

Anyone?

Or you could have added the .pdf extension.

During restore you can choose which setlists you want to restore :ph34r:

Indeed! Guesse I didn't really look, I was so excited to test the new models! :blink: Go Line6!

I guess we need the ability to export/import Global Settings & IRs seperately. Then you would doe the exports before upgrades and import afterwards, thus preserving the new factory presets. Then after that the backup/Restore will be super useful until the next upgrade. Or, what would be better is that the line6 Updater does this for us, giving us the choice to keep the new factory presets or overwrite them with the backup.

Then you would have to keep it moving all the time. Some people let it stay at a certain position for shorter and longer times. My problem is that even though I have it timed out at 1 second it often disengages also when I am nowher near 1 second in the heel down position.

I hade the same issue. I discovered there was a corrupt patch. Found it by exporting patches (the errror happens then also) First export setlists to find the setlist containing the corrupt patch. Then export patches (20 or so at a time to zoom in) Keep zooming in until you have the culprit. Overwrite the patch with an empty patch. Voila!

I run my mic uot of the Helix to the board through XLR. I rout to the Firehawk via 1/4" to the guitar in (using an empty patch in the Firehawk). I then go from the XLR out from the Firehawk to the table. Last gig I experimented with using the Firehawk as my monitor by putting it in front of me using the stand. THis worked fantastically! I had great sound from the Firehawk and in the hall they had great sound from the table. In this case you could probably also have your mic going through the Firehawk but I don't see any reason to. I would rather keep the monitor in free for when there aren't enough monitors in a venue, then I can use the Firehawk as a monitor for the whole band, including my mic.

Wow, I could try that with my FH1500 and DT25

Wow, that's amazing! You're a lucky man. Yeah I miss his father as well. I started a Zappa band called Absolutely Frank almost 2 years ago. Just had our first two small gigs! We really love playing Franks music but we'r nowhere near Dweezil, of course.

Yeah, I saw the Dweeze in Utrecht on the 17th of October! It was absolutely amazing! He has really developed so much it ain't funny. His presentation is also really good these days. The band is phenomenal. The new singer/guitar player is great, a much better fit than the former singer which I didn't really like. He was a good singer but somehow didn't fit with this music IMHO. The new female singer is off the planet, I want to marry her! It was definitely one of the best concerts I have even seen. You?

Lets turn it into a Frank Zappa discussion again! :D

When i use the Wah with auto engage function I notice a problem. I have the wah turn off at heel down position (0%) and engage at 1% The wait parameter is set at 1000ms (1 second) When I rock the footpedal back and forth, never being at heel down position for 1second, the wah still turns off every now and then. This is really annoying. Does anyone else experience this? Is there a way to avoid this? Is it a bug?

I think it would be a very heavy (35 Kg) effects modeler. You might like to try the Firehawk FX or even better a Helix (LT). Then you can also control the effects

I think the idea is that part of the sigan (dry) is unaffected by the wet effects (delay, reverb and such). This makes the endresult more defined

Can you tell us more about the procedure?

What happens when you do this with the FH1500 in mono mode?

I have tried, it sounded great. But I have no idea which speakers are then active or not. I haven't been able to get a clear answer to this. Hopefully someone will shed some light this time?

I have the same problem pasting amp blocks from one patch to the other in Editor, really weird. I have discovered that it then still works on the Helix itself, So I just do the past on the Helix after right click-copy on the PC. It never fails so it'sa fine workaround but there's something wrong!

Dude, what did you do with the footswitches? Looks really cool! And why did you exchange the Volume and Phones knobs?

I use a few patches where I blend an overdriven amp and a signal chain with an acoustic guitar ir and the mic pre amp, no cab. This gives the tone a very distinct attack from the acoustic guitar. Really nice!

I got my Helix at Bax shop in the Netherlands, they give standard 3 Year warrenty. So please don't whine for two years in the Netherlands!

Maybe the send/return of Helix is set to line level, which is too hot (+4 dBu)? I think in this case you need to set it to instrument level (-20 dBu) in global settings. http://www.ovnilab.com/articles/linelevel.shtml
