questions and answers
can the Helix Stadium capture my amp?
Yes, since firmware 1.3. The feature is called PROXY cloning and it captures any physical amp, preamp, amp-and-cab combination, or distortion pedal at its current settings. No earlier Helix can do this.
how many clones can I use in one preset?
Four, and no more than two per path. A clone costs about as much processing as a full Agoura amp model.
why did my stereo effect go mono after a clone?
Every Clone block is mono. Anything stereo placed before one gets summed. Put your stereo effects after the clone, not before it.
why doesn't the volume knob change my sound?
It controls one output at a time: whichever of the three buttons above it is lit. Press the button for the output you are listening to.
how do I play backing tracks on the Helix Stadium?
Showcase is built in. Put song tracks on the microSD card, then use the transport buttons at the bottom left. Hold FS1 and FS7 to get song and marker navigation onto your footswitches.
what are flags on the Helix Stadium?
Automated events that fire at a set time during a song: preset changes, snapshot changes, anything Command Center can send. A song can have two, or hundreds.
does the Helix Stadium use USB-C?
Yes, and it is the first Helix that does. A Type B cable from an older Helix will not fit.
how do I delete a block on the Helix Stadium?
Flick it off the top of the screen with a finger. There is no delete option.
what are Agoura amps?
Line 6's new modeling method, introduced with the Stadium. They sit alongside the whole existing Helix amp library.
how many snapshots does the Helix Stadium have?
Eight per preset, the same as a full Helix. Press FS1 and FS7 together to get to snapshot mode.
where does the Helix Stadium store song tracks?
On the microSD card, which ships already fitted under the security panel on the rear. Loops and preset clips live there too.
can I stop the volume knob being knocked on stage?
Yes. Press and hold the lit output button and the knob is disabled until you unlock it.
how do I monitor the house mix through my in-ears?
Set FX Returns 1 and 2 to act as always-on Aux inputs and feed them from the house desk. They then appear in your headphone cue mix alongside your guitar.
what is Nexus on the Helix Stadium?
The port for Line 6's expansion peripherals, including the Expand D10 digital I/O box and the EX2 expression pedal. They are sold separately.
