Anyone? What speakers are used when going into the Monitor Ins from Helix for example? Is this different when going into the effects return?

I read the tweater would not be used and wonder if this is true and why.

Are you sure about this? It seems very strange to me. Isn't that what an amplifier is supposed to do? Make the signal louder? Now you're saying the amplifier shouldn't amplify the signal?????????? Please elaborate!

This is all kinds of ****ed up :wacko: Love it!

That's a bummer. I wish I could help you further. Ther might be more fuses in the amp but that would mean opening it up and that is not without risks to your health.

I believe it was the fuse for the transformer next to the mains socket

Try looking at the fuses. I think I had the same issue some Years ago with my DT25. Turned out to be the fuse. Always have spares with me since. Of course it never happened again!

I had some other issues with a 89F and they gave me a new guitar. Unfortunately that one had The clang issue. I made a ticket with Line6 and after a few questions from them they offerde to send me yet a new one which they would test themselves before sending it to my retailer. I thought that was pretty cool! I'm waiting now for the call from my retailer.

What versions do you see at the beta area?

I've been following these threads about headphones and impedance for years now, starting with HD500. For some reason I always had fairly good results with my Sennheiser HD 201 cans for € 20,- with the HD and even much better with the Helix. With The HD I did have some troubles now and then but I've never been convinced it was because of the headphones. Of course when I go loud through my DT-25 it's not exactly the same, that's impossible. But it still sounds pretty damned good and still in the same ballpark. Right now I can pretty much rely on the sound coming through my DT-25 st high volume will be great if it sounds great through the HD-201 cans.

Finally a serious attempt to answer the question asked, thank you! And an interesting answer as well. Do you have any idea how this even distribution of sound is achieved in a FRFF system?

To be fair, I don't think he's saying it shouldn't sound good at all. I think he's saying it shouldn't sound better as people are seeming to say it does. On top of that he explains why he doesn't understand why it would sound better and he's asking for an explanation. What's so wrong about that? Maybe it's me but I don't really read anything offending in his post except maybe his opinion that a real sound engineer would use EQ to compensate for the quirks of the studio's rooms, which is probably true. Why is everyone so offended by that? I still think he's asking a legit question.

There have been many musicians selling even more using non FRFF equipment so what's youre point here? Selling 75 million records doesn't really answer the question of why it's such a good idea whis is ultimately the OP's question (as I read his post anyway). And having a master's degree in mechanical engeneering doesn't mean you know anything about sound engineering.\ So the legitimate question, I think, is why is FRFF so much better when, as the OP stated, the frequencies of the guitar aren't there? What's the use of processing and ampifying non existing frequencies? It's a fair question that's been bugging me as well. I'm not saying FRFF is wrong, I just don't understand and would like to.

Yeah, I really can't understand the personal attacks either. There's no call for such a thing just because you don't agree. And it doesn't answer any questions you are raising. It's really sad the world is more and more like this. People just don't repsect ech other's point of view and thinik the solution is to bash the person in stead of trying to enlighten them, preferably keeping the option open that their own point of view may need an update. So we learn.

Actually I think the first reason you should be there is for the music and yes, of course the audiance needs a great experience. That means, IMHO, first of all the musicians need orgasmic sound and emmersive experience so they can perform at their absolute best. Then the soundguy needs to make it the best experience possible for the audience. So in the end both the musicians and the audience need to get the best sound possible.

Cool!

Sure, benefit of the doubt is always a good thing. Innocent until proven guilty, right? The age and accompanying ignorance would be the only acceptable excuse though (IMHO) . :D

It's not about being a dumb move, it's pathetic. What's to gain?

Actually the Helix App has the manual under the help menu, right where it's suppost to be in Windows software

What's the giant bug sitting on your expression pedal? :unsure:

I think you should look at it like FLAC and WAV, it's lossless compression. Interestingly IR's are in WAV format so for all we know Line6 actually used FLAC compression :P (probably not)

I thought about that but I haven't been doing anything different. In fact I haven't really been doing anything with the cabs except for High and Low Cut. It's on my to do list to check out the possibilities there but haven't done it yet.

Thanks for all your tips! It hasn't really given an answer but it seems I'm the only one experiencing this issue (if you can call an improvement an issue). I will definitely do some more experimentation with input impedance somewhere in the future! Up to now I just set it to 1M because it seemed to sound the best and haven't looked back. Time to look back!

No, I'm using a regular guitar. I do have a Variax but havn't tried it with 2.01 yet.
