Hey Helix Team, As the Helix celebrates its 10th anniversary, what better way to commemorate this milestone than with a truly groundbreaking firmware update? Let's solidify the Helix's legacy as an enduring industry standard by adding the holy trinity of preamps: the Marshall JMP-1, the ADA MP-1, and the Mesa/Boogie Triaxis. Imagine the sonic possibilities! These iconic preamps, renowned for shaping the sound of countless legendary guitarists, would add unparalleled versatility to the Helix's already impressive sonic palette. From the British roar of the JMP-1 to the shimmering cleans and searing distortions of the MP-1, and the boundless tonal sculpting of the Triaxis, this addition would be a game-changer for Helix users across all genres. To further enhance the user experience, let's take inspiration from the intuitive visual layouts of the ToneX and Tone Master editors. A responsive "real amp" display within Helix Edit would provide a more immediate and familiar interface for dialling in tones, making the power of these classic preamps even more accessible. This anniversary update would not only be a fantastic gift to the loyal Helix community but would also attract a new generation of guitarists eager to tap into these legendary sounds within the most powerful modelling platform available. By delivering this landmark update, Line 6 would undoubtedly reinforce the Helix's position as a long-lasting industry standard, a tool that continues to inspire and empower musicians for years to come. Let's make this 10th anniversary truly special and elevate the Helix to even greater heights! Thank you for considering this exciting possibility. *Note: My Ideascale subcriptions is disabled and ll activities have been suspended

Looking for anyone who has experience with the 4 cable method and using midi data with the Mesa triaxis and simul class 2 90. Specifically wiring for the pod controller into the fx loop of the triaxis via midi for the best results. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm a huge fan of that good and warm tube amp sounding. I'm a using a Mesa Boogie Triaxis over the past 5 years always with multi FX rack units (PCM 80, Eclipse, G-Major, G-Force, etc.). I have been using the Axe Fx Ultra over the last two months and I decided to give Helix a go. I know it's a amp modeler and its made so we don't have to use anything else... BUT, I'd appreciate if a current owner could share an opinion on how can I wire these two units together. Many thanks!

I currently use each of these three guitar preamps (ada mp-1, marshall jmp-1, mesa triaxis) thru it’s own snd/rtn fx loop (all set to instrument). This way they are all accessible in the chain and i can change patches with a midi controller. All this works just fine, all fx of the helix are where they need to be (before or after the preamp) while the Main out of the helix goes in mesa 2:90. Again, this setup works fine but I find the preamps to all sound rather thin compared to a standard full amp in 4cm. Maybe has to do with ada conversion of the preamps thru the fx loop? Does anyone else use multi external preamps but hooked up in a different way and get fatter sound? the idea is to be able to use the helix as multi fx with all three preamps

I tried out my Mesa Boogie TriAxis with 4CM and get an awful noise. We've gone through about twenty different troubleshooting ideas on the facebook group and haven't found a winner yet. Three solutions I was not yet able to try due to lack of availability: Isolated coupler Hum buster cable ISP Decimator Anyway, the TriAxis is a beast and sounds great regardless of the hum. I don't think I'll be taking it to any gigs like this, though.

Hi everybody, I would require some help from some of you ! I own a POD XT live & I would like to use it both as a multi effect processor and a midi controller for my triaxis (V2) preamp. My goal is to activate a chanel change on the triaxis with both an effect from the POD with ONE SINGLE FOOTSWITCH on stage. Obviously I've switched off the amp simulation on the POD (not to interact with triaxis) but I can't succeed in changing of chanel and effect with it I seems there is no dialog between the POD and the triaxis... Please help me if you know the answer ! :o Would anyone give me the step-by-step (i am a beginner in MIDI) procedure ? :lol: Thanks Val
