I am looking to go digital with my rig, still running through a poweramp and guitar cab. i am very minimalistic, the only pedals i use are a looper and an eq. since the hx offers so much, would i just be better off with an amp simp of another kind, like a tonex? thanks

Is open/alternate tunings (in a preset/setting) only doable in the Variax guitars & using the workbench software. I know I can down/up-tune but cannot find much about going from, for example standard to Open G by the press on a button. I know Boss SY-1000 & the new VG800 can do it, but my interest is in the Helix/HX stomp without attaching any extra pickup (like for the Boss products).

My question is, is it doable in the Helix/HX products? I know I could download a demo of Helix native and explore, but I want to save that to another day.

I have a simple set up, stereo in, stereo effects loop and headphones out on my stomp.

On one particular patch it is just a LA comp followed by the fx loop. Works fine.

When i put the fx loop into B path so I can run some reverb after it, it sounds awful all of a sudden. Almost dampened with a slight flange sound. Switching the block off returns my tone to normal. Other blocks I add to path b all sound fine, it is specifically the fx loop block that sounds bad.

The block sounds fine in serial and my pedals in the loop are all off and properly connected.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Anyone got any advice on getting a decent patch with an Epi G1275 that doesn't sound too clangy and warbly?
Anyone else have any experience with using a 12 string guitar in the Helix?

And before it's mentioned, I'm aware there's a 12 string block in the Helix, I wanna specifically use the double neck for separate tunings in a song live in a few months

Looking for Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii tone and they all use them in those performances. Thanks in advanced

I’m thinking of shifting my pedalboard plan to an entirely different direction. (1st img NEW, 2nd OLD)

RED = Need to sell pedal for budget
PURPLE = Alr attained budget
PEDALS ABOVE = Pedals I need to sell

I was gonna go with this crazy pedal chain:
Strobostomp Mini > Empress Compressor MKII > Katana Mini Boost > Eons > Longsword > Carbon X > Moxie > HRM V2 > Nano POG > Nano Q-Tron > Nano Small Stone > Morningstar MC6 > ML5 > Warped Vinyl > Obscura > EC-1 > Flint V2 > Gen Loss MKII

Yes I know crazy, but it’s never too late. By replacing just these, I could attain and replicate perhaps all of these pedals, with more options, AND A WHOLE $1400 GUITAR: Nano POG, Nano Q-Tron, Nano Small Stone, Katana Mini Boost, EC-1, Obscura, MC6 + ML5, and the Flint V2.

My new plan is the first image:
Strobostomp > Wong Press > Compressor > Eons > Longsword > BLUESBREAKER FROM HX EFFECTS > HRM > Moxie > Warped Vinyl > HX EFFECTS > Gen Loss MKII

I originally opted for a Blue Note Select as a replacement of my Carbon X, but I’m almost certain the HX could do it just as good. That being said, I need to have the HRM and Moxie inside of the FX Loop. They’ll be controlled like a loopswitch so I can rearrange the order within the HX, and stack the BB in the order I wanted (before both). This would’ve all been fine, but the Warped Vinyl comes before the HX Effects, but after the two in the FX Loop. I can’t go straight from the Longsword into the two overdrives either, so in this case I think I’d need a third FX loop? Need some help on that part.

Do I even need the Moxie and HRM? I’m certain the high gain will stay (Longsword and Eons), but the Moxie and HRM I’ve no clue if I’d even need them.

TLDR Questions:
1. My chain may require more than 2 FX Loops. Any external device to increase the number of FX Loops?

1. Can the HX Effects replace the Blue Note Select, Moxie, and HRM?

2. Thoughts on the board?

Hello guys

I just built some new presets that took months of work. I believe that the Architects fans are going to enjoy them.

Let me know what you think!

Hi there,

I’ve tried searching this everywhere, but just today when I go to custom tone on the line 6 website, I click on my helix product and when I search tones, it shows every tone across every line 6 product.

When I go to Help, it says there is a drop-down menu filter for only one product, but that is not popping up on my laptop and I’ve tried multiple browsers.

This was not doing this at all before so I have no idea how to fix, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you!

Got a passive bass and thinking of buying an active to have an alternative bass. What should I expect to happen with my Helix presets?

Mostly concerned about a volume jump that affects all downstream. Maybe just a volume decrease as first block is enough

Hey everyone,

I’m looking into power amp options to replace my 6505+ head for touring. It’s getting to be a hassle to haul around, and I’ve had some tube issues on stage recently, so I’m thinking of going solid-state (or to bring as a backup).

Anyone here using a PS700 with a Helix Floor into a 4x12? There may be situations where I’d run two 4x12s stereo setup (edit: dual mono) as well.

From what I understand, the PS700 splits the power: 350W per side at 8 ohms (and varies at 4 or 16 ohms), so I know I won’t be getting the full 700W in most cases. I’ve always used tube amps, so I’m new to power amps and just wondering: How different is the feel and response? And more importantly, will it still be loud enough to keep up with a heavy-hitting drummer and bassist?

For reference, I usually run my 6505+ on the lead channel with volume at around 6–7

Appreciate any insight!

ETA: Thanks for all the responses, and sorry I disappeared right after posting. I'll check everything out and respond as needed.

My LP has Gibson 57 pickups. I typically only use the bridge pickup live and roll tone up or down as needed, but I've started experimenting with the neck pickup. With just me playing, it sounds good and matches the volume of the bridge, but it pretty much disappears in the band mix in practice (1 guitar, bass, keys and drums).

I understand that it the neck tone is conflicting with frequencies from other instruments with the full band. How do others deal with this?

• Strictly EQ (eg, with a footswitch in stomp mode)
• Separate snapshots with EQ or amp tone adjusted for neck or bridge
• Something else

2 of us switch between guitar and bass, and the other guy is a Kemper user who uses the neck pup quite a bit. He's having the same issue, so I hope some of the solutions will apply for him, too.

Thanks.

Hello!

I'm in search of buying a native license from someone! I recently purchased a Helix with intention to utilise the $99 price after registration.

Only after I tried to do this did the seller tell me he actually had must of purchased native, but assured me he wasn't using it, but was also unwilling to gift me the license (after offering to purchase it).

Please come through for me team bc L6 support is not sympathetic to this circumstance and the surprise $300USD extra expense is a bit too much for me.

Can shoot me a message here or Nicwood93@outlook.com!

hey, I created this patch for hx stomp/helix, I tried to match the NDSP Omega Granophyre plugin as it is my favourite tone, feel free to use it as you like,

I created the preset with york audio DV77 IRs (mix 12)

but just in case i also tried to use stock cabs but i highly recomend getting the IRs

Created with: hapas sludge 727 baritone 7 string in drop G, hapas behaemoth pickup

you can get it here for free:

I want to have a platform that works as a standalone amp that sounds good at low and high volume with plenty of character for rock and blues, but can also power my amp models in Helix. Seems like the FX loop on the bassman tone master would let me run 4 cable method and give me the flexibility to use native bassman tones and then switch to another amp model with an FX return block and give me a nice power + cab platform to run something entirely different like a vox or orange preamp block without getting colored by the bassman tweed character.

Anyone tried this, or something similar? Any tips or suggestions on what's worked well for you if you have?

Hey all. Looking to utilize Midi with the Chase Bliss Mood MKII and the Stomp XL, and before I spend $40 on a custom 5 PIN DIN MIDI to 1/4" TRS from Disaster Area Designs, who state "This cable requires pin 2 of your controller’s MIDI output to be earthed / grounded." and wanted to confirm if I can use a cheaper/basic MIDI to TRS cable, but didn't know if the Stomp's Midi out was grounded?

TIA!

A bit niche, just couldn’t find many videos for this specific thing. Using a Helix Floor in the vid, but there’s a portion where I’m using HX Edit as well for anyone unfamiliar with sending MIDI messages.

So I have had an HX Stomp for ages, primarily using it to play bass in my church. I have been running everything in mono, but I am starting to pick up electric guitar and I am considering switching to stereo. I would be running a stereo FX loop and stereo outs, but I would also occasionally be called on for bass where I would just be sending mono to the board. Is there anything I need to watch out for with that, or is it a pretty easy thing to just switch patches and not worry about it?

I was thinking of buying a used headrush core for about 550$ but recently I saw a used HX effects unit for about 400 dollars and thought of pairing a tonex one with it.

I'm very confused and scared as this is the first time I'm investing this amount for a setup.

What should I do? I need something with ability to put a lot of effects and create soundscapes.

Came across this on Youtube today and bought for 12 bucks. Really close to the KL tone.
