MikeDV1 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Globally bypass cab blocks. Ability to assign a particular cab block IR to all patches globally if cabs not globally bypassed. I only use cab blocks for output to PA signals. For factory patches, I have to disable the cab and save patch, or change amp model to one without built-in cab. Not for everyone, but a little time-saver for us no-cab limited-cab folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvdm68 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hey, It would be great if you could build a preset with a Pre Amp and a Power Amp. For instance: I have been using a Marshall JMP1 Preamp for years with a Messa Boogie 50/50 Power Amp. I miss this possibility in the Helix.

Totally new models of a preamp and a separate power amp might be possible, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobi Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Quote Hi, I made a request to remove (or make smaller) the snapshot camera logo on the displays next to the switches. 1 of the reasons I bought the helix is the small displays next to the switches. Since preset mode is not usable in a live situation, I'm using snapshots as most people here... What annoys me is that in preset mode we have 2 lines of text per display, while in snapshot mode only 1 line and that stupid camera logo is taking up 1/3 of each display. And we do see that we are in snapshot mode as the camera logo is also visible on the helix main display top right corner. This is the link to the Line6 ideascale: https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Remove-snapshot-camera-logo-and-give-us-2-lines-of-text-instead/945232-23508#idea-tab-comments I would appreciate some extra votes on this topic.

sinlimo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 When I'm using the looper, I'd really like some sort of visual display showing how much time is left on the looper. With the Ditto and it's 5 minutes of looping time, I don't need to think about how much time is left, but with the Helix (LT and Stomp) there's only 60 seconds available (max) and it'd be nice as I'm recording a loop to see how much time I have left so I know how much of a phrase or idea I can put down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny cables, DIY mods to existing cables or pedals, setting parameters backwards make it a hassle to use easily available external expression pedals with Helix rack controller. I have 4 different brands and styles of EXP here, not one of them is specific to Helix, and 2 or 3 need to be used with some kind of (easily made) custom cable because they have a TRS connection (there is nothing Line 6 can do about such pedals). I've been able to pretty easily make them all work. imho, they have done everything they can with regard to this, and for the record, the most recent bug fix actually made two of these EXP pedals work that didn't used to, so they are, indeed, doing something behind the scenes in this regard. That said, some will simply not be compatible. There is really no way to mitigate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDV1 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Seems we can make them work, somehow. And true, compatibility for all is probably not easily obtained. There are quirks with most of the MIDI controllers. Personal issue - I have an EB Jr. volume pedal, IN/OUT/Tuner 1/4" connections. I plug a TRS on one end/TS x 2 on the other end into the Helix controller (I've got the rack setup) - obviously the TRS goes into the EXP 1 (or 2 or 3) on the controller. If I plug both TS into the pedal, it's crazy time, a huge variety of responses on the controlled block (Volume). OK, remove one (I forget which one), and the pedal works - almost. Push the heel down, and it will go to about 5-20% and kind of fluctuates, until you smash on the pedal, then it will go to 0. Seems like a pedal/pot problem. Plug that same pedal/TRS into the back of the Helix rack itself, and it works perfectly - 0-100%, no fluctutation, rock steady - kind of rules out the problem in the expression pedal. Crap, another cable. Next, got an older Mission SP-1 pedal, works backwards. Reverse polarity inside the Helix, no change. Change the specific parameter from 0-100 to 100-0, then it works - but can't do that universally. Try one of my Rocktron Hex pedals, and there's no number that is overlooked as you rock the pedal back and forth - totally unusable. These types of quirks are on most MIDI controller, but the Helix seems to have a number of them, and for my application, have one of the worst on the foot controller. I haven't tried the Rocktron or Mission directly into the rack unit, but kind of disappointed that one of the big advantages of the rack/controller unit (only a single cable) now requires more cabling. Just guessing, 'cuz I'm not that educated about the tech aspect - but it seems returning to some more software controls - along with polarity, calibration, maybe type compatibility, maybe a control over where the pedal moves to relative to the amount it controls the software (like a competitior does it) - something other than it just stares at you malfunctioning, and the one software control available does nothing. Considering paying attention to exactly which pot works with the Helix and putting them into my Hex Pedals. But - more hassle, more expense, and at this point not confident it would work through my foot controller unit. I know there are issues reported in the floor unit, but my rack/controller unit has this added bug as described above with my EB pedal. I did see one post that gave pretty detailed instructions how to modify a Mission pedal, and may give that a try. But, isn't that what this idea scale thing is about - suggestions for improvement?

I haven't tried the Rocktron or Mission directly into the rack unit, but kind of disappointed that one of the big advantages of the rack/controller unit (only a single cable) now requires more cabling. It comes down to a hardware difference. The fact of the matter is Line 6 using (and always has used) a simple TS circuit for their expression pedals. The vast majority of other manufacturers are using a TRS scheme. This Strymon article from a few years ago explains how a TRS expression pedal works. Basically, a TRS pedal works by "seeing" the voltage coming back on the tip (the control voltage from pedal is sent out on the ring). Line 6 pedals are simply sensing the voltage on the tip. The potentiometer in the pedal is acting like voltage sink. This means that Line 6 pedals are more sensitive to the value of the potentiometer in the pedal. The Helix accounts for this somewhat through auto-calibration, and some TRS pedals seem to work, but other will never work. This is a typical schematic for a TRS expression pedal: This is the schematic for a Line 6 expression pedal: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwest Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 As a newbie to Helix HX Stomp, it would be really helpful if I could customise the LED colour for Snapshots because I use that facility (during gigs) as a 'quick glance reference' for the number & type of snapshots that I've set up for each preset e.g. (1)clean (2)crunch (3) lead OR (1)clean (2) lead etc. - I've asked if it can be done on another thread but the absence of responses lead me to believe that it isn't currently possible ... so, please add it to the next update, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrainger Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not sure if this has been submitted before, I couldn't find anything, BUT it's the ONE thing I think is missing from the HX Effects, and that's the ability to use a Expression Pedal with a toe switch....
