ronballllllls Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I’ve noticed on a couple occasions that my input volume is dramatically reduced after not changing any preset settings. I’ll Start playing again and it’s as if my guitars volume knob is at 2 (when it’s at 10). I do have input gate toggled. The problem goes away when switching to a different preset, then switching back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronballllllls Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 mesa amp? Yes. Have you experienced this too? Or is it a known issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joepeggio Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 known issue. On some mesa amps, especially if bass is turned down. I guess a fix should come in next update? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ric1966 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Might not be just Helix. My Firehawk does this on at least one patch, a Plexi Bright HD model with mids all the way up... It is so gradual, I thought I was going (more) crazy, but then I noticed the background hum would suddenly jump up after a quick back and forth preset switching event. Since my patch is only lightly gated, this is a sure telltale that gain is gradually falling off and then getting restored when I toggle patches.

jbuhajla Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 This is a bug with the Mesa Amp models (Mk IV I believe). If you have bass set at 0, you get this phenomenon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh thank you. Yes I have the bass turned almost completely down. Glad to hear I’m not the only one! I was worried my unit was defective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I am using the Mk IV with the bass turned way down. Hope to see this fixed with the next patch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwagner Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 This is a bug with the Mesa Amp models (Mk IV I believe). If you have bass set at 0, you get this phenomenon. This is a known bug and is documented in the Native Release Notes: http://line6.com/support/topic/29033-helix-native-101-release-notes/ And in this thread: http://line6.com/support/topic/24970-mark-iv-model-loss-of-gain-after-extended-playing-session/ The bug is also present in other amps including Mesa bass amps, not just the Mk IV. Hopefully there will be a fix in the next firmware version. --jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
