Hi all! Can you please tell me how to fill out this template? Is there a special program for creating them or is it just done through the editor? Thank you. spiderIV15_blank.pdf

Hello everyone. I am new to the Line 6 products. I've mainly use orange tube products. I've recently decided to get the Helix after my friends consistently talking about how great it is. I bought a few pieces to go along with it but I'm lost. Everything on YouTube doesn't help. This is what I'm working with Gator 6u shallow case Helix rack Gemini XGA-4000 PowerAmplifier Livewire 9-Outlet Power Conditioner Sure guitar wireless system non rack version 2 speaker cables 2 speakon to 1/4 cable 2 guitar cables 2x12 cab. Like I said I'm very green when it comes to modeling systems. Any guidance on how to hook everything up would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, my Helix currently still has the 2.3 firmware and since I have never used the HX Edit, I wanted to start with it. Now I see that you have to be careful when updating, otherwise you can break a lot. (from 2.7 to 2.8 e.g.) My question is how best to update from this old version. Is it enough to make a backup before and update to 3.1 right away? Or should I take smaller steps with the critical firmware change, from 2.3 to 2.7, then from 2.7 to 2.8 and then from 2.8 to 3.1? I don't really have a clue and would be happy if someone could give me advice. Thank you!

Hello, well everything was working fine on my pod xt live, until one day I need to tune my guitars.... I press the tuner button for more than 2 secs and nothing happened, so I starting to deal with the problem and discover that pushing "OUTPUT MODE" and then turn clock wise the select button, the tuner appears. Can somebody tell me how can i put back the tuner to the pedal again? Thanks beforehand

I just bought a brand new PowerCab 212 Plus to go along with my collection of Line 6 gear. I plugged it in and tried to connect it to my POD HD 500 via L6 Link. Unfortunately, I can't get the L6 Link to work at all. When I power on the POD, I hear a few momentary clicks & pops in on the PowerCab, but no audio. I can connect via the analog outputs from the POD to the PowerCab, and that works fine, but I would much prefer to run a single digital cable instead of two analog cables. I opened a ticket with Line6 support, but unfortunately we are out of ideas to try. The things I have tried so far to get the L6 Link connection working are: Several different AES and XLR cables, including a brand new AES cable Connected two different POD units to the PowerCab, a POD HD 500 and a POD HD 300 Updated firmware on all of the units to ensure latest version Different power up / power down sequences and connection sequences Different settings within the POD HD 500 for outputs (page 4 of 12 in settings): Studio/Direct, Combo Front, Combo Pwr Amp, Stack Front, Stack Pwr Amp Different settings within the POD HD 500 for L6 Link Audio (page 9 of 12 in settings): Amp #1 Left/Right, Amp Model A, and Amp Model A/B Performed a full factory reset on the PowerCab 212 Plus via the settings I know that I likely won't be able to control detailed PowerCab parameters via L6 Link with the POD HD 500 or POD HD 300, but basic audio should work over L6 Link. Even trying everything above, I have not been able to get any sound, only a handful of faint clicks & pops when the system first powers up. Has anyone else been able to make this work? Any other things I could try? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, just knowing that someone else has successfully connected a POD HD 300 or 500 to a PowerCab via L6 Link would be good information. Thanks! Carl

I just bought the POD HD Pro x and I'm wondering if I can use my Revv G4 pedal as the preamp. Also I've been hearing the term Cab IR in videos on youtube and from what I understand they are just simulated cabinets. If I'm running the POD through an actual cabinet, do I need to use one of the preset Cab IRs? Is there a way to bypass them and strictly use the FX in conjunction with my Revv? Please excuse my ignorance I'm a complete newbie to the tech side of guitars, and any help at all would be appreciated.

I'm absolutely losing my mind here. I run the live sound desk for my local Church, and we've just upgraded from an Analogue desk setup to a fully digital one. This is our setup: Desk: Behringer X32 Compact (with the UltraNet snake box thing - I can't remember the model) Microphones: XD-V55 Wireless Mics (6 Headset, 1 Handheld) IEMs: LD Systems MEI1000G2T (UHF) The school we hire for services has been gracious enough to allow us to install Cat5 along the walls for UltraNet, however with the wireless XD-V55s, the signal keeps dropping - every 5 minutes or so, which is great when we record the Sermons to be uploaded as a podcast. Unfortunately, the school has Wireless Mesh WiFi - which conveniently runs on the 2.4GHz spectrum (the same as the mics), and conveniently spans the entire spectrum (leaving 0 channels out of the required 7 for the microphones). We can't exactly ask the school if they can turn off the WiFi, because they actively use it all the time with cameras and the like. Our Microphones currently run on (mostly) the odd numbered channels (1, 3, 5, 9, 11 and 13, with the last headset on 12), and I have no idea what frequencies the IEM transmitters are running on at the moment because it wasn't me who set them up and I haven't had a chance to look at them. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how we can mitigate these drops? I'm completely stuck here.

Hey everyone! Need some other people's point of views on the situation in hopes it can be fixed. :P I have a UX1 w/ Podfarm 2.5. I usually use it for voice recordings, no instruments. I've spent a long time editing settings, still unable to get perfect sound for my microphone. I use a lot of noise gates because for some reason there is a lot of background noise I presumed were fans from microphone pickup. I always thought this was weird since this room is practically sound proof, and I can barely hear the fans, but I always shrugged it off. Well today when I was testing microphones I made a discovery. I was in the middle of switching them out when I noticed after I unplugged one, there was still the same fan noise with nothing plugged in... For some reason, there is this constant noise being created in the device. It gets louder when I adjust the input of the device, which is horrible since I need it at the "bad" level for my microphone to pickup anything. I've been doomed to bad audio since I have to turn on multiple noise gates to somewhat block the strange noise, but of course it degrades microphone quality. The background noise is constant with something plugged in or not. I use the device as my entire sound card as well, for input and output. So my question is, can anyone help me? I'm down for any advice you may have, or maybe you guys have presets for your pod farm you think might help that I should try. I hope I haven't been sold a faulty UX1. I'm using an AT20-20 microphone XLR'd to a PHP1 Phantom Power Supply, that is then XLR'd to the UX1 that is then USB'd to the PC.

I'm having trouble with a buzzing sound on my HD 500. On a clean setting, it's more of a hiss, but once you turn on distortion, it's more of a buzz (or buzz kill, as the case may be!). It seems like a grounding issue with the device. No matter where I'm playing--at home, in the rehearsal studio, or at gigs--it's the same thing. This leads me to think it's not a problem with the quality of the electricity. I play through a few different amps, from tube to solid state, depending on the situation. Always the same problem. Also, I still get it using different guitars--Les Paul or Strat, it's the same thing. The buzzing is worse when I have the USB cable connected. It's also worse when I use distortion--the more distortion, the worse it is. I was doing some searches on this, and I see that other people have similar problems. I've tried re-setting the global settings, but no joy. I'm using the 1/4" input. Anyone have any ideas?
