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.

Hey. So, I'm currently trying to switch to a new laptop. My old one is from 2017, and I just got a brand-new one.

I was able to download POD Farm 2 onto my new computer. However, while the little lights blinked on the device, the yellow light illuminating the db levels did not come on, and POD Farm did not detect the device. So, I go to the license manager, and after a failed login attempt, learn through research that Line 6 License manager is not supported on Windows 11. I was also told that I need something called "Line 6 Central", but I couldn't find any download link on the website.

I also tried calling, but their customer support is closed until tomorrow.

Is there any way to run POD Farm on my new computer? Or is it time to start looking for a new amp sim?

Happy to see another recent video of the 10+ year old modeller getting some use and still sounding great. I’m still running a pair of POD HD Pro X’s. Anyone else still getting use out of theirs?

This has been bouncing around my head the last few days and I'm going to throw it out there.

Given the seismic shakeup of NAM A2 hitting the modeling industry, I'd argue that the landscape is permanently changed. That said, I think the position that companies like Line 6, Fractal or Kemper find themselves in is MUCH different than it was years ago and I think they will only survive this transition by selling the best hardware to run NAM models on like the way we run IRs on all our pedals now.

So here's what I'm getting at, considering how small and lightweight the Nam A2 Lite models are I think someone like Line 6 should either open up the software for their old pedals like the Pod HD500 for people to modify or release a new firmware that can load NAM files. I'd even consider paying for that firmware to keep my old pedals useful.

There's a WHOLE LOT of guitar based e-waste out there and making a big, public show of a real effort to make their gear useful in modern times would help keep people interested in the brand.

This is the end of my rant.

Thoughts?

Got the 1x12 combo. Testing it in bedroom, set master to like 1 maybe 2 and it was loud so I turned channel volume where it needed to be thinking this was a global change…

Pressed button to switch preset and damn near blew my eardrums out. It especially sucked because I’m standing there with my guitar in front of the speaker while I’m changing settings…

So every present has independent volume and they decided it was a good idea to set them all to 100%?

Is this a common issue? Are these amps just insanely loud?

I figured the 40 watt 1x12 would be best of this series for bedroom playing… lol

I also have a faint crackle sound at low volumes on clean channel easiest to hear it so I’m going to reseat tubes, hopefully my volume mixup and feedback from guitar pickup didn’t damage something but I think my hearing was the only victim.. guitar center shipped this without much bubble wrap and it probably got banged around didn’t notice any visible damage though.

I recently bought the Line 6 POD Go, and I think it’s very cool. It’s awesome to play with, but I’m having a hard time saving my presets correctly.

For example, I’ll go to 01A on the factory setting and create an entire preset. Then I’ll save it and move on to 01B. However, I’ve noticed that the preset I made for 01A carries over to 01B. I’ll make changes to 01B, save it, and then all of my other presets will be changed as well. Even 01A will end up being set to whatever I changed on 01B.

I went into the settings and changed the Up/Down Switches to Presets and switched Snapshot Mode to Auto Return, but it’s still not working.

What can I do to save my presets correctly?
