vstrattomusic Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Has anyone had this happen to them? Just powered on my Helix LT and it made this hissing noise, not through the output but the physical hardware itself, it seems to be working fine, sometimes it would make a short noise like this when I powered it on but this one was waaaay longer, I expected to start smelling something burning but it didn't happen.

codamedia Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 My immediate thought would be a failing filter cap... if it wasn't in the power supply section then the unit may appear to work fine until you try to use something that has relies on that cap. HOWEVER - if it was a cap you would smell it... so I think that blows my theory out the window. I suggest you log a ticket with Line 6 and let them sort it out.

Yeah, I should write to them, do you think something like this could affect the tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It may or may not... but I'd be more worried about it not starting up one day. It only takes a moment to log into support and open a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
