Does this happen with all presets or only one/some?

 

It sounds like there may be an FX block that you are not aware of. For instance, a Noise Gate block (embedded in the Helix LT Input block) can possibly have that effect. Examine each FX block in the preset(s). Begin by turning each block on/off until you find the one that is causing the effect.  Then adjustt the parameter settings for that block to remove the unwanted effect.

It's happen with all the preset ( factory included ) That never did this before .... yet i have put off the noise gate and the same thing still happen ...it's weird ...maybe it's a bad connection inside in relation with the guitar input ( When i listen the music ( via Cubase , or youtube etc etc the sound is ok ...it's happen only with all of my guitars ) Maybe i have to go at the dealer for a check-up

Hi,

 

When weird and unexpected things happen the first line of defence is to perform a factory reset: - Helix LT Reset Options

 

Helix Floor/LT

Button Combination

Description

2

LED light Fun

3 & 4

Test Mode

5 & 6

Global reset

7 & 8

Reset setlists to factory, Keep IRs

8 & 9

Reset setlists to factory, Clear IRs

9 & 10

Reset setlists to factory, Global reset, Clear IRs

10 & 11

Upgrades existing presets to latest format

11 & 12

Clear current preset

5 & 12

Clear setlists, clear IRs, Return system settings to default

6 & 12

Safe boot mode

To use Reset Options:

  • Power off the Helix
  • Hold the desired button combination
  • Power on the Helix
  • Release the button combination

 

Please note: Buttons are numbered from top left to bottom right.


Note: If this doesn’t clear the problem, it maybe advisable to reinstall the Firmware. You didn’t mention what version you have in your LT, but upgrading to the latest version (3.80) helps to fix various known bugs.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thank you Data Commander (  Commando too  ) I'd try your advices and taking these on notes too ... Unfortunately it's seem it's a physical issue ... i'll try to put my Helix LT but the near dealer from here in Canada is to far ( I'm in Quebec Canada ) I'm thinking for another option yet ( maybe another gear ...same Brand of course ) I have to see ...thanks a lot for you all ... i update you later on ...soon

Are you using some external midi controller and maybe getting midi CC loops?

No ...directly in the box inside a Peavy full lamp 50/50 ,via USB on Mac or Windows , or head phones ...same issue ...no one of these 3 external machines work with my guitars ( I reply to Schmalle too for his question  ) Good Night for all of you
