Hi Everyone
I opened the box on a brand new Helix Floor today, it was in a plastic bag,
but the white paper warning seal that says once you open this you agree to Line 6 terms & conditions may have been re-stuck onto the polythene.
I was surprised to find that as soon as I plugged a power cord in, it fired up on pre-set
FACTORY 2 Rhythm Sandman.. The power switch was in the on position ?
It looks fine no visible issues, but I just would like to know if any one else got a brand new unit that had the power switch on
and was set at some random FACTORY pre-set.
Works fine.. already tried a few different ways to hook it up, best I've found
so far is in Stereo split between the returns of an old Flextone Amp, and a Fishman Loudbox ..
the tweeter can be controlled on the loudbox to balance just enough treble
detail with the midrange to give very convincing Amp tones.. I started by just getting the amp models to sound as real as possible.
I'm old.. I've heard quite a few .. once you get the basic tone of one about right, ( with both H/B & S/C pickups ) you know your in the ball park.
Anyway.. I ramble .. :) .. I hope someone can remember if their new Helix was turned on when they got it, just to put my mind at ease :)
Regards
Paul
