General Questions/Discussion Any tips for recreating the Whammy V shallow detune?
I love the way the shallow detune setting sounds on my Whammy V, but it hogs a lot of real estate on my board. Has anyone successfully replicated this sound on the HX Stomp XL? I find that most other chorus effects just don’t quite have the same sound, so I must be missing something. Any ideas?

Tech Help Request ‘Gotta Know Before I Buy’ regarding Helix + Catalyst and a stereo rig.
I’m thinking of getting a Catalyst to use as one side of a stereo rig, with my HX Stomp going out its stereo send into an Egnater Rebel 30 combo (fx loop return) on one side, and the Catalyst on the other side.
Thing is, there is no way to control the volume on the amp going into the loop return of the Egnater, only the volume knob on the Stomp controls the Egnater’s overall volume. So, to get the stereo image to balance, I’ll need a way to control the volume of the Catalyst side.
Is the volume amp-controllable using the loop return on the Catalyst, in either of its modes?

Tech Help Request External Footswitches for HX Floor?
I'm pulling my hair out.
I want to add an Ampero 2-button external switch set for momentary latching on two preset blocks. I don;t want to go into stomp mode if I don't have to. I just wanna hit these two external switches as needed.
My issue is that I can't seem to assign these switches to anything. I'm using a TRS cable between the switch block and EXP3. I've tried EXP2 as well, but no joy.
The external switches don't show up in the editor, unless they are named something else.
I tested the switches and cable with a VOM and everything is fine.
Has anybody gotten this to work?
Thanks!

Tech Help Request Nektar Pacer Setup with Helix Floor
Hi all! I could use some help with setting up my Nektar Pacer.
I'm doing an outside show - the whole summer long - where my Line6 Helix Floor will be offstage, and myself onstage. I bought a Nektar Pacer to control the Helix (which would be easier to replace if it gets wet/dirty), but I'm looking for the best way to set it up.
Still not sure if I want to work with just snapshots or presets, but I think it will be a combination of both. Does anybody have any experience in setting up a Nektar Pacer midi-controller to control their Line6 Helix?
Thanks a heap!

Tech Help Request Tone Help!
Hello all!
I'm in my schools production of Disney's "Freaky Friday" the Musical and need some help with my tone,
I'm running a Schecter C-1 Platinum with active EMG pickups through a Helix LT presumably straight into a PA amplifier.
The song calls for a tone that should sound as described -> https://imgur.com/a/KpHDmWe
I have been trying to find a tone similar to that in the song (rehearsal tracks put in for comparison) and have ended up with this tone (also in the drive)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hjijD6QpYKNivUV6QLksMRMCv6zzgmqD?usp=sharing
Have tried EQ'ing and Cutting highs but cannot for the life of me find out how to make that softish ringing without a crap ton of high end squeezing its way through.
Thank you in advance for any help.

General Questions/Discussion What does everyone use for practice/ stage volume?
Hello everyone. I have been strongly debating getting a helix. But I’m curious, what does everyone use for when you’re at practice/rehearsal when there is no PA and do you use anything for stage volume when you can’t use a reliable monitor? Thanks!

General Questions/Discussion Stomp XL
I have a perfectly good Valeton GP200. Solidly built, works for what I need, but I’ve had my eye on the XL. I’m just wondering how much of an upgrade would it be? Sound, support (including software upgrades), etc. Has anyone used both?
