Well everyone loving the Helix so far, the sounds are excellent but I'm just knocked out by the ease of use. Not doing anything wacky simply just assigning sounds to switches and using the amp models etc but in the limited time I've had to play with it I've created some really usable presets. I can easily see it replacing my current set up and there is the added bonus of being useful for the guitar.

Updated the firmware, I'll deffo have questions. The amp sims sound excellent to me. Initially it will be getting to know the interface, then building a preset, organising your sounds and then onto more complex things like the dual signal path. But great and seems a real quality thing.

Thanks guys looks great even packaging is nice.

Picking up my Helix LT this evening..... quite excited.... sad I know!

I've just preordered a Helix LT! Really looking forward to getting it!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1503050785' post='3355311'] One of the things that is making me pause at the moment is that Line6 don't have the best reputation for keeping up with Mac OS X updates. [/quote] Can't comment not the Helix software but the IOS app for the Firehawk was really great. Certainly one of the best mobile apps for music devices I've come across. Potentially Line 6 being owned by Yamaha might give them a bit more resources when developing software.

I'm pretty much moving to in ears (deafness!) and the band have an X32 desk so it looks ideal. And the option of being able to have a two output channels looks really cool. I used to have a Sansamp RPI and RPM into a power amp with separate outs which I loved but was just too heavy.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1502782014' post='3353405'] Very. There's no internal differences between full fat Nd LT. Usual rules apply as for every preset based item: bin the presets and make your tone from scratch [/quote] I think the LT would be more than enough for me. I love my pedals and I have some classics but the board is huge and it's a pain in the arse! I bought a Firehawk for messing about in the house and was frankly quite impressed by that.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1502294225' post='3350527'] They would be liable for duty because they are a modification - not a repair from the manufacturer. custom inearmonitors use inearz for their reshells. [/quote] Thanks for the info much appreciated!

I'm (as we say up here) a bawhair away from buying a Helix LT are people happy with them?

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1501586221' post='3345663'] These guys here supplied my UE11 phones - they also do reshells, highly recommended: [url="http://www.custom-inearmonitors.co.uk/"]http://www.custom-inearmonitors.co.uk/[/url] [/quote] Thanks!

Hi folks and apologies for being lazy but this is a monster thread! I just bought a pair of Ultimate ear Triple Fi 10s, the drummer in my band had his re-shelled in Florida by https://www.inearz.com and they have done an awesome job, I was thinking of using them. I reckon there should be no duty as it's a repair (maybe). But is there anyone in the UK who you would recommend to re-shell? Thanks!

Thanks Anzoid for the detailed reply!

Hi I bought a Westfield p bass a while back and I'm just about to upgrade it for a bit for fun, I don't suppose anyone knows if a standard P Bass scratchplate will fit?

[quote name='whizzzy' timestamp='1486555856' post='3232693'] Have you checked all of the fuses? [/quote] Fuses or valves were what I was hoping, I've not opened it up yet.
-
[quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1486554770' post='3232670'] Mine did that and it was the end, that's how I ended up with my Rumble 500 which I have to say I'm very happy with. [/quote] Was it knackered?
-
[quote name='whizzzy' timestamp='1486552212' post='3232645'] If you can't hear any hiss noise then check the speaker and associated wiring first. [/quote] Hi Whizzzy thanks for that, i didn't hear any audible hiss but I'm pretty deaf! I did put a set of cans into the headphone out and nothing, I dunno if that helps with the diagnosis.
-
[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1486544292' post='3232559'] I'd swap out the valves one at a time until you find the culprit. If that doesn't diagnose it, then it probably needs a stern looking at! [/quote] Lol will do cheers!
-
I started rehearsing tonight and my Streamliner just faded out and now has no volume. The lights go on, looks fine but no sound. I'm a bit flummoxed, could it be valves or fuses? Any ideas much appreciated. Additionally, I've gone and sold me back up amp!

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1484592280' post='3216629'] Don't know much about the Firehawk. [/quote] I think it has lots of the same sounds as the HD500x but not as full featured and you can't install the bass pack but it has the app and bluetooth which was what attracted me to it. As I mentioned I just wanted something to practice with and so far it seems great. Built like a tank as well.... need to buy a bag now
-
I ended up getting a Firehawk relatively cheap on eBay, I know it doesn't have the bass pack so getting useable tones will definitely be harder but the app is just so good for editing I reckon it will be fine. It feels like it might be a product in transition but so far I think it's really great. The hassle for me with multi fxs has always been a clunky UI, making single stomps or no pedals preferable but this is a real improvement.
-
Cheers Skybone just missed out on one! But it sounds ideal. I'm hoping a few guitar gear heads might go for the Helix and a few of these may become available.
-
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the HD 500x as a practice rig? They are popping up here and there around the 250/300 mark. I have a an Aguilar TH 350 and an old EA CXL at home at the moment and it undoubtedly sounds great but I don't turn it up and it takes up space. Just think one of these and some good cans (which I have many!) could be good. Any thoughts?
-
Cheers Trevor and thanks to your input I'd shelved the idea of the extender. I'll speak to OBBM or maybe stick with wires!
