Lamont32 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Greetings all... I am just wondering if anyone has ditched their HD-500x in favor of the Helix. Getting my HD Edit software to work correctly on MacOS Mojave is a tedious process that involves reinstalling the Drivers every time that I want to use my 500x. I cannot get it to run at all on macOS Catalina. Does Line 6 support the Helix better than they are supporting the HD-500x? I have not gone to the Windows version of the HD Software because I record using Logic, a Mac-only software recording program. I would love to hear from anyone who has made the change to Helix. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulTBaker Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I loved my HD500x expecially through my DT-25. Unfortunately, the DT-25 was not very reliable and finally bricked when I tried upgrading to version 2.0. I moved to helix LT, then to Helix Floor because it was a lot more sturdy (at least imo). I am very happy with the Helix. I tried to replicate my patches from the 500x as a start. That was not really successful. I have spent tons of time reading (Jason Sadites, John Nathan Cordy, and some other guy :) ) and have learned alot about the helix from them as well as trial and error. Knock on wood, the support has been very good. I had only one upgrade where i got in trouble, but Line6 quickly got me unstuck. So if possible, I suggest upgrading to the helix. I also have the PC +112, and PC+212 and I really like both of those. Best of luck to you. Also, there are a lot of smart and helpful people on this site that are glad to go through this journey with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be a real question. LOL. This question would be better asked in the Helix section. Anyone who dropped the 500 isn't going to be reading the 500 posts.

Lamont32 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Thanks for the replies PaulTBaker & Pianoguyy. I will take a look through the Helix forums and see what the current users have to say. I like the 500x, but am tired of fighting with the software for it. Product support for orphaned gear is not easily found. Thank you!
