What are the guidelines for where you set your Helix input impedance. My main preset now has a parametric EQ at the beginning of DSP 0 and it's always on. My pickups are the Seymour Duncan everything axe ( JbJr bridge, Duckbucker middle and Lil'59 neck )

"Helix Input Capacitance / Impedance: If the top end feels too aggressive or unforgiving, set the Helix In Z (Input Impedance) to 230k or 90k instead of Auto or 1M. This simulates a longer cable, naturally smoothing out high-end bite and making pick attack feel softer and more forgiving."

I just tried to play my bass through the hx stomp without any effects and noticed that when I press analog bypass the volume decreases and everything is much less bright. I thought that without any effect blocks it should be transparent sounding but is that not the case?

I also checked global EQ and it's completely flat.

Is there a way to make the hx stomp sound transparent as the same as plugging straight to the amp?

I created a .hlx preset online (3rd party tool), and then attempted to import that preset via HX Edit. My HX Edit started to load the preset, then disconnected, and my Rack froze up. I could hear the sounds, but could not do anything else. I restarted the Rack -

Helix Rack (3.80) now freezes during boot at “Rebuilding Preset 143.” Preset 143 corresponds exactly to the third-party preset I had just imported before HX Edit, and then the damn Rack crashed. I have important unbacked-up user presets. Is there any service procedure on Helix Rack to clear only the corrupt preset without clearing all presets or setlists?

I believe that the LT or Floor does, but it appears the rack only shows:

• ENC 2 + 3: reset globals
• ENC 3 + 4: restore stock presets/setlists
• ENC 4 + 5: restore presets/setlists/IRs
• ENC 5 + 6: entire factory restore
• ENC 1 + 3: rebuild all presets
• ENC 1 + 5: clear all presets/setlists/IRs
• ENC 1 + 6: Update Mode

Edit: Excellent suggestion from Line 6 Support: ENC 1+3+4 during restart to remove the current (most recent) preset.

HelRig dev was also very helpful in this process. If your preset doesn’t have the proper ID, this causes issues with presets.

Helix stadium floor - is it as great as i am hearing? Bout to purchase…

Has anybody had a new line 6 helix stadium reboot on their own constantly?

Like it goes to the intro “stadium” screen when it first turns on even after it’s already been turned on. And it does it constantly?

Hello,

So my line6 helix stadium has the silly glitch regarding online log in trouble and the date time issue. Both have been resolved. I’m logged into my account on my new helix stadium and the date is updated BUT I cannot get my device to download the latest firmware.

It either freezes or gets an error after reaching 20-30% completion.

Any ideas?

Why didnt the helix stadium come with a usb like my pod go? It was way easier onboarding plugged into my laptop?

I’m really curious to try out the new amp modeling. I own an Hx stomp for about a year but I never got native. If I were to get it now would I still be able to use the upgrade price for the new stadium models or will I have to pay the full stadium pricing?

Ok so I was entertaining the idea of buying a used Helix rack I have seen some as low as $700, I have never owned a modeler of this caliber, at that price point I assume it has some miles on it, I really don’t need to buy the latest and greatest, but this thing would lighten up and simplify my rig considerably. So here is my question to the community, is an Oder unit like this worth it at that price point or would it be buying a worn out piece of gear that will have to be replaced in a year or two.

Hi all,

Is it possible to set up a temporary mute button on the Helix LT?

I have my Helix set up in Preset/Snapshot mode, with the top row for presets and the bottom four footswitches for snapshots. At the moment I have:

• Snapshot 1
• Snapshot 2
• Snapshot 3
• Mute

The Mute snapshot simply turns the Output level down to -120 dB. This works fine, but I'd like to make it temporary. I've had it where I've hit the mute, but then swapped back to the wrong snapshot.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to hold the footswitch down and have it mute, then have the volume return as I release the switch.

So rather than:

Click Mute > muted > click another snapshot > sound returns

I'd like:

Hold Mute > muted > release > sound returns

I've tried going into HX Edit > Bypass/Controller Assign, selecting the Output Level and assigning Footswitch 11 with the Type set to Momentary. However, pressing the footswitch still just switches to Snapshot 4 (my Mute snapshot).

Is this possible to achieve?

Saw there was a new Helix plugin and was wondering if it had all the content from the original Helix Native, all amps, cabinets, pedals, presets, etc.?

If not everything is carried over, are the amps/cabs/effects carried over at least?

Hi all,

Need a new adapter as after years of hard gigging the cables are starting to show wear and id rather have a back up ready to go if the factory plug fails.

Where can I get a replacement please?

been using Native for a year, HX stomp for a few years before. Stadium is a $100 upgrade so it isn't too steep, for anyone who has used both is it worth it? I know the prospect of what will be released could be pretty good, but as of now, what do we think? The Native software rocks but the view and some of the workflow stuff is a little clunky

I know it’s not the same Tier, but the axe 2 was born in 2011, prices today are similar tho. I’ve saw everyone moving from axe Fx to QC, some to helix, now everyone is getting into the headrush and the nam2 seems like the future.

But Sometimes I believe people got bored of great tone and wanted more bling bling and easy touch pad interface, people can’t read a manual and figure out instructions these days… you know these new generations are so strongly and manly, well that’s my theory why they all went to try other devices.

I grew in the 90s, we got to share a single tv and rent 1 movie and watched it like 5 times over a weekend.

Let’s say at an even 800$/€ what would you get ?

I’m asking because I’m almost buying the axe2 with a mfc-101 but wondering if there’s something I’m missing
