Thanks, I was hoping you'd see this. I knew you'd know. Cheers

What level should the POD Go fx loop be set to to match the Catalyst ins/outs. Or to put it another way, is the CX60 fx loop instrument or line level? Thanks

It was a tongue in cheek post, really. I'm not suggesting that this is what's going on here. I'm sure my issues are just coincidental, and it's been behaving itself, since. However, I'd be extremely suspicious if an update for the original Powercabs were to suddenly materialise.

My gut feeling is lower the pickups. The description sounds like 'Stratitus'. Get the guitar set up properly.

LOL Since the Stadium came out I've had a couple of 'random' issues with mine - few weeks ago, a couple of presets were just 'gibberish'; a restore etc sorted that, then yesterday, no output; switch off and back on fixed that one. If anyone at Line 6 is watching, "I'm NOT buying a Stadium anytime soon." ;)

FWIW... I'm a 58 yo "child", too. I got mine in 2021, IIRC. It took me a while to get my head around it, but it's worth it. Patience, and Jason Sadites videos got me there. I also found the Worship Tutorial Channel useful. I think it's more about understanding the initial setup and preferences for your circumstances that makes the difference. If you can, you need to set aside an afternoon from time to time and just mess about with it.

My own way of doing it. I use a FR 18i20, so my setup is probably less flexible, since it's a 'plumbed in' desktop setup. I use the Helix as an 'effects processor' rather than as an interface. I usually have it hooked up to a Powercab via L6 link, with analogue outs from the Helix to the 18i20 - one/two with the full fx chain, another bypassing the fx chain (ie. Input>output). Basically, I'm hearing my mix through the desktop setup, my guitar through the Powercab, with both guitar and DI being recorded simultaneously on separate tracks. Sorry if it's a bit vague. It's early, here

Okidoki. No promises that this will definitely work, but it won't hurt. Download Line 6 Updater. Download Firmware v2.80. Plug in to your computer and switch on your Helix. Open Line 6 Updater in offline mode. Find your device, and do a manual install of the v2.80 firmware you downloaded. When done, close Line 6 updater,, unplug the Helix and do a factory reset of the Helix. Plug the Helix in to the computer. Open HX Edit. Follow every instruction to the letter and be patient. I expect there to be an error message along the way. Don't panic. Keep following the onscreen instructions. Assuming it updates successfully, do another factory reset and install a backup of your presets.

FWIW I use Simple Pitch with a predelay. Since v3.80, getting phasing. Tested it yesterday, the delay times in the Simple Pitch are... inaccurate.

Did a google search for 'Powercab recovery'. Two vaguely plausible options were, Hold down the Home button while powering up, and hold down the Select button/Knob while powering up. Don't know whether either will work, but if you're stuck with it not booting, then neither is going to make things worse.

99% certain HX Edit and Helix Native aren't available as 'mobile device apps'. If you're exclusively an acoustic player, you don't necessarily need any amp and/or cab sims. Put an EQ block at the end of your chain and adjust it until it sounds good.

Haven't tried it with a HX product, but it works with the POD Go - Download the latest version of L6 Updater & HX Edit, and any version, other than the latest, of the firmware. Boot the HX in to 'update mode' - hold down the 'Page >' button while switching on. Plug in to you computer and start L6 Updater in 'offline mode'. Manually install the firmware you downloaded. When it's done, close Updater, reboot the HX Stomp, do a factory reset. Start HX Edit and follow the instructions, to the letter, to update to the latest firmware. Like I said, works on the POD Go, haven't tried it on my Helix, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Jason Sadites channel on youtube (other channels are available). While he doesn't do 'HX FX specific' videos, the info relating to effects setting on any of his Helix/HX video are also relevant to the HX FX. This also applies to other Helix/HX leaning channels.

This will fix it - Download the latest versions of the POD Go firmware, Line 6 Updater and POD Go Edit. Start your POD Go whilst holding down the 'Page Right' button. Don't worry about the grey screen. Make sure your computer is not running ANY background music streaming crap like Spotify. Make sure your USB cable is in good nick. Plug the POD Go to your computer. Start Line 6 Updater in Offline Mode'. Select POD Go, select 'Update from file' and try re-installing the v2.0 firmware that you downloaded. If it fails to install, download any previous firmware version and repeat the above. When that installs successfully, close the updater, Switch off the POD Go and do the 'Factory reset' startup procedure. Plug the POD Go in, start up POD Go Edit - NOT the Line 6 Updater. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. The update will take about half an hour.

Just curious. Tried it today, first time in a year or two. Not connecting. Not available on the downloads page.
