Hope I don’t misunderstand your question now…

 

When Line6 made the integration Helix <> Powercab 112+ the thought was good but they forgot a few things … One of those things was to transfer the PC Edit functionality to HX Edit and make that integration seamless and visualized. IR is one of those half-done things…

 

Your IR is visualized in HX Edit under the output block/Power cab tab. You need to pick “Mode”/”Use IR”, then a slider “User IR [1-2] (Preset)” will appear. What you now can see is the position number of the IR’s, not the names. The way to remember the IR names and position is to have a list on the side (paper, spread sheet), a screenshot from PC Edit or have PC Edit open at the same time. This way you can see where you IR is positioned and select the correct position number.

 

Below is a screenshot to “visualize” what I tried to describe…

Ok got it!

Yes, you are correct.

 

Not being a paper-and-pen kind of guy, the only way I can work with IRs on the PC is to run PC Edit concurrent with HX Edit.

Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that I prefer using the cab sims for most purposes.

If I want to use IRs I just load them in Helix.

Until the recent new high-gain/high dsp amps this was not a problem.

I don't often go that way, but I guess I'll just have to use both editors, because Line6 isn't ever going to do anything in the way of improving on the Zombie-ware PC+ line.

 

Too bad. Some people hate them - I think because they never took the time to learn how to use them.

 

I have a love/hate relationship with my PC212+. Currently we're trying to make it work again.

Yes, it’s a shame that it’s been dumped. It can’t be a huge thing to move it from OK to great (for me it’s more of an integration thing to use the features in the PC from HX Edit, updated speaker emulation would be great but I’m OK). I got a slight hope when it turned up in Central, but after a knight sleep and hit by reality that passed… 

 

I like my 112+ but knower days I only run it as FRFR and occasionally run it in raw mode, as a guitar speaker (actually sound good, better than the speaker sim’s, in how I use it). And, as you, IR’s goes into my Helix. I had to much struggle to get the IR’s to load, as PC doesn’t convert IR’s in different formats as Helix does (another thing not been thought threw), at least I can’t get it to work. Also, the new speakers from 3.5 reduced the need for IR's drasticly... 

 

Hope you and your 212+ find each other again, can be a wonderful relationship :-)
