xmacvicar Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I have made an AC30 preset which is half dirty/half clean. Sounds great! However, I have noticed some weird behaviour. If I engage the tuner - tune and then go back to the preset, sometime its like the volume has dropped off or the preset isn't sounding the way it should. I have to switch over to a different preset, then BACK to the AC30 one to make it sound normal again. Corrupt preset? That seems unlikely as I have just made it with the iPhone app and saved it directly to the Firehawk FX. Anyone ever experience this?

ric1966 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 This is a known issue across presets. Mine seems to lose gain in the original patch until I go to another and back again. Was hoping the latest update would fix this, but it apparently did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ric1966 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 That's the only way I have experienced it. It seems to do this regardless of what patch is active when I engage the tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddbeck Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yes, I have the same problem. God knows if someone who's related to the line 6 bug-fixing team ever gets some of these errors noted here on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO much easier for L6 to set up a community driven support desk - let the users help themselves :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO much easier for L6 to set up a community driven support desk - let the users help themselves :P No trying to be a jerk....but cracks me up how folks automatically assume a forum is equal to a support desk, when it's clearly stated what things are done and where on the site. The Forums - or "community driven support desk" as it was put- was fairly accurate to certain degree only because the line 6 forums are noted as "Explore our forums where tens of thousands of other users talk about Line 6 gear and help each other." (quoted from (http://line6.com/support)...and that's where we are now...but then again, I think for bugs and other issues that snarky comments or remarks provide little more than mild amusement, you might want to also hit up technical support... To contact technical support directly you go here: http://line6.com/support/tickets (yep, it says it's a "A place to contact our expert support staff directly." at http://line6.com/support/technical-support ) To inquire about ideas and things you'd like to see different about the firehawk- it's likely a support ticket ain't gonna do it....neither is a post on the forum....but if you drop it at the "Line 6 ideas" area, folks can vote on it and hopefully get a feature added at https://line6.ideascale.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that alot of times is not really helpful. Then you get into blasting every other possible option out there (this forum, FB groups, etc) to try to get a response. I'm not the only person who makes snarky comments about the state of the forum, or board, or anything else. It's a sentiment shared by many. But thanks!

xmacvicar Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Got official word from line 6 that they can't reproduce the issue with my patches so they told me to return it as it could be a hardware issue. Dont but it. But maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric1966 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Worth a try. Let us know if they are able to fix it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmacvicar Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Worth a try. Let us know if they are able to fix it! In this situation they aren't repairing but asking me to straight up get a new one from my retailer in a return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric1966 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Okay, even better. Let us know if the brand new one has the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAX700 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 So... What happened? It's not productive to start a thread and just leave it hanging. Did L6 replace your FHFX? Did that resolve the issue? I'm sure many of us would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAX700 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I moved onto the Helix. l6 never fixed this and as far as I know is still a bug.Thanks for the update. A new Helix... That explains why you forgot about the FHFX. Most understandable. But if you have time I have 3 questions: 1) Did this problem only occur with your custom AC30 preset - or did it happen with others as well? 2) Have you tried importing your original AC30 preset and testing it after using the Helix tuner (I'm not sure if importing from FHFX is actually possible), or have you created a similar preset to test on the Helix. 3) What were the settings of your custom AC30 preset. I'd like to test it myself. I own three L6 boards (XTLive, HD500X, FHFX) and am documenting quirks/bugs. Thanks... and enjoy your Helix.âœ”ï¸ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
