    Many thanks this is a very useful video, did the repair this morning, given 3 foot switches were bouncing and unusable My Helix dates back to 2016 and well out of warranty, so not an awful lot to lose. I took the time to tape up switch regions as well and used a electrical contact cleaner spray from Amazon. Hints =---= 1). Take a photo before disassembly. 2). Loosen all screws 2 turns before going back taking them out. 3). When putting the screws back in, do not tighten before all screws are in place. 4). Be careful around those two units on either side of the switches, they are the LED's. This cured the problem for the time being..... Look forward to playing every day for the next 8 years.

    Hi, I have a helix floor with this problem: it loses the input signal, the signal goes in fits and starts, the symbol on the input display flashes red, then it starts working again for a while, sometimes it works for hours and then repeats the problem. Lately it also crashes, meaning the large display turns off and all the small displays start flashing. What could it be? I was thinking about the power supply, thanks for any response

    • @alex-kenivel
      @alex-kenivel Před 10 měsíci

      okay, sounds like two separate issues. Input issue-- try different cables. Try those cables in something other than Helix to rule out the cables. Crashing issue - those can usually be remedied by reinstalling the current firmware and following the instructions to the T: Make a backup, reflash (reinstall) firmware, factory reset, reload backup, power cycle off/on again to finally rebuild presets. Hope these help. Feel free to get back to me if not.

    • @alex-kenivel

      I think it also has some extra parameters for some of the FX too. It's been a while since I've used it. Maybe I didn't take the time to learn it properly but I found it unintuitive and confusing. I enjoy the Librarian app because Tone Studio itself is often slow

    • @jbognap
      @jbognap Před 5 měsíci

      There is also the Katana Librarian for Android. Access to two EQ blocks, without having to use up the Mod or Fx blocks. Another tip is to use a looper and loop a guitar riff into the amp. That way, you can tweak away without having to play (until your final tweaks for feel and response).

      How old is your unit? Mine had the same issue and I ended up replacing the washers because they were pretty worn out on my unit from 2017. Check this thread on the forum for more info about that washer replacement = line6.com/support/topic/55856-replacement-washers-for-helix-exp-pedal/ Other than that, there is is a boot up procedure that runs a test on all of the encoders, buttons, footswitches and the expression pedal. Hold down FS4 and FS5 while powering in your unit to run the diagnostic. Hope this helps.

    • @alex-kenivel
      @alex-kenivel Před rokem

      You have the option to use the L6 link or a MIDI cable. MIDI CC19 selects between channel A/B. a value of 63 or LOWER recalls channel A and a value of 64 or HIGHER recalls channel B. CC66 at ANY value will act as a toggle. If I wanted an A/B Stomp switch on a Helix I'd use the toggle (CC66) command. If I wanted the channels to be recalled per preset or snapshot I'd use CC63, which you can set as Instant Commands (the lighting bolts in command center) for when you change presets/snapshots. Hope this helps. Hit me back if you run into trouble.

If they are just gunked up and dirty this could work for me, too. Thanks for the video, Alex!

    • @alex-kenivel
      @alex-kenivel Před rokem

      You seem to be conflating a few things. HX Edit is simply an editor for the Helix hardware. MIDI commands can be sent/received via USB without a MIDI cable to a DAW like Reaper but HX Edit isn't involved in the process. In Reaper preferences under the MIDI section, you need to ENABLE the Helix hardware as a MIDI device, and set up a track's Inputs to receive MIDI via the Helix. Changing patches like in a software VST using Helix? Not sure I understand completely but I hope this helps.
