Great Video which I will check out next week.. I'm about to go away for a few days... I guess I must backup first with whatever I have, right?? Now I'm already stuck!!! Thanks for making it an easier looking thing to update then I can try to get my thick head around Helix!!
Thanks for the assistance with the update! I'm a HUGE fan of the Xotic effects and own the ones added. Wish Line 6 added the RC BOOST too. If I have any issues at all with the Helix it's achieving the slightly overdriven tones in a live setting vs. the really saturated ones that sound fine. (May have to make a suggestion :-)
Hey you bet! Glad it helped. What amps/tones do you favor? My next vid in the "Idiot's Guide" series will start out by creating a very light OD patch. Should be up soon.
Jeremy Varao I look forward to checking out your slightly overdriven patch. Thanks for sharing! I find many of the models sound great recorded or observed thru FRFR models. However, finding something that cuts thru mix in live setting is different animal requiring experimentation. IR choice is huge. I’m still a white belt but it’s getting better👍
Fellow idiot here with an idiotic question: Just got my Helix... do I need to install all previous firmware & driver updates in order to receive all previously released features? I'm hoping the latest versions just come with everything already packed in alongside the new stuff. Oh, and what's "Helix Native Version"?? Do I need to install that too? Man, the Line 6 site seems to leave out a lot of installation info.
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I made a vid to show how to double check your FW so you know which steps to follow in the Line 6 Update Release Notes. Here's a link to the vid: ruclips.net/video/XqH5PAQDWPU/видео.html&t And here is a link to the release notes themselves (Also NOW in the description of this vid): app.box.com/s/l9tyazm5xgjs68shvzx7r008v8tthyqh Depending on your firmware, you'll do the steps in Blue (FW 2.12 or lower) or the steps in Green (FW 2.21 or higher). You do NOT have to to both. Hope that helps!
Of course! That's what I'm here for! I have a bunch more vids coming on basic patch creation, IR's vs Stock Cabs, Snapshots, etc. All quick and easy to follow. Hope you subscribe and check them out! Also, meant to say, about Native, you don;t need to do anything with that unless you have actually bought that as well. It's a plug-in for recording.
Just got mine yesterday!!!!! Having issues Put on fuzzy cat 🐈 sound cuts in and out - awful Other channels seem ok except a few ? Why is this - faulty???????
I would suggest downloading the release notes file in my vid description and then updating to FW2.5 MAKE SURE you get the right updater and install HX Edit 2.51 first
Thank you sir! Just bought mine used and it hasn't been update once to date, your video really helped clarify how to get it there

Yep. Gotta back up but it’s super easy. Much better than the last update.
Glad folks are finding the vids to be of use! Thanks for checking it out!
off topic: will you be doing a demo/ review of the Quilter OD 200 in the future (clean, crunch, boosted etc) ?
I will indeed!
Helpful stuff man! Thanks! Off topic, what band is that playing in the background?? I'm loving it!!
Hey thanks! That’s my punk band Cherry 2000.
