Helix Floor/LT/HX/Stomp/PodGo/Stadium/XL owners' Club - Tips, Ideas & Patches

[Wombat]

Yes, but I’d be very surprised they will want you to like your helix more when the want you to spend £1,500 on a Stadium?

[LukeFRC]

If you have a patch on the HX stomp with both Left and Right loops on, and they are bypassed

 

And you plug in something to one, but leave the other unplugged. 

And then try and use say the left one, with the right one unplugged.- HX stomp goes a little bit crazy and does all sort of noise, like feedback or DC in the signal or something.

 

 

And if you've just built a pedal and are testing it - and get the sound of electrical pain coming out - of course you're going to spend 2 hours tearing your hair out trying to work out what you've done wrong. 

The answer is compete the other loop with something, or delete the other loop block. I guess it must be the ground connection it's after. 

 

but year - that was a crap evening!

It does seem about due

In my dreams they add a couple of more bass amps,  SWR/eden type, or trace/ashdown, a couple more preamps with a console style and then a load of the moogerfooger effects. That would make me happy.

For the above two threads there is a line 6 bug forum and an ‘ideascape’ might be worth posting in. Again I reckon they will be concentrating on Stadium but who knows 🤷‍♀️.

To be fair, at the Stadium announcement event, Line 6 confirmed that they would continue to develop the current hardware for the foreseeable future - they're still going to manufacture and sell them. Obviously, their main focus is launching the Stadium and adding promised features, but I don't think it will be too long before the current devices are shown some love.

Would be great, but as a L6 user since before HD, in my experience we’ll get another update after the Stadium furore has died down. Possibly one after that then they will expect you to move on.

The other side of that of course is that technology develops and hardware will have to change. It’s not like we are faxing set lists to each other anymore…

Just thought I'd comment/praise that I like the ease with which you can send a signal to different outputs/sends/headphones and set up the means to control one or both outputs with the onboard volume.  Very useful as I'm about to do an acoustic 'style' gig (with a Bass Uke) and I want a signal to send to my personal monitor (volume controlled from the Stomp) and a separate line to the FOH, which isn't affected by my Stomp onboard volume adjustments.  Oh and in my other band I need to to send path A (dry) to an output and path B (effected) to effects send, in order that I can run a stereo / bi-amp (signal split at my frequency choice onboard the Stomp) dual rig; very useful for adding a bit of grit/drive to the top end of my 12 string bass and retaining the bottom end unaffected.  

 

Yep, pleased with how this Stomp is working out.
