Line 6 Helix

Just updated to 2.9, looking forward to trying out the Red Llama, I like the real pedal a lot. 

A quick warning to some of you, after updating my Stomp a lot of my global settings had changed (notably the volume control jumped back to its default behaviour which really confused me for a few minutes).

Well, it wasn't just the tuner. All sounds were the same, volume didn't work and analog bypass muted the sound!

For some reason is back to normal now but I'm worried it could happen again...

There are a few bugs which we are working on. Should be a new firmware pretty soon.

Great.

I'm back in 2.81 for now.

2.91 now appears to have been released.

Downloaded 2.9 for my LT and all was fine. My tuner tuned. Volume volumed.
Cut to today when I was unable to get snapshots working. Hmm. 2.91? OK cool! Still no snapshots (other than getting them to work on the up and down buttons).
Back to 2.8, and all is great. Note to self. Don't download software until everyone else tells you that it works.
EDIT ignore me. I re checked line 6's forum and a few other people had the same issue as me. I'd forgotten to press mode! Doh!

Loving the Rouge Peruvian mammal. I'm testing the Native version until you all say the hardware versions are stable. I can't play any gigs anyway

I've updated my full fat helix to 2.91 this evening and everything is working fine - snapshots, presets, etc.

Likewise.  I hadn't experienced any problems with 2.90.  The only thing that I needed to do was to reset the layout to preset / snapshot and set the tuner to strobe.  Going 2.90 to 2.91 I didn't even need to do this.  All presets and IRs rebuilt without the need to restore from backup (which I, of course, made).

Updated my Stomp yesterday to 2.91 and this morning all was working like it should.
Thanks Line6 people for the quick fix.

What’s it like for the stomp?

Quite a bit seems missing on the stomp, understandably, but I do fancy trying the phaser.

Haven't tried much but the Red Llama seems nice and there's a bass drive, I think, that sounded quite good on guitar.

In all the excitement about the Red Llama i missed that there is a Small Stone. Need to get on that tonight!

Has anyone found useful tones from the Line6 Customtone website? Would be good to know what ones you have success with.

I’ve been testing some out (Fender cleans - Crunchy Classic Rock tones) with mixed results.

I have an early 90’s big box Small Stone, and compared the model in Helix Native to it yesterday.

it is *very* convincing. Was impressed.

I had a good tinker with LT today after using Native almost exclusively recently. Been playing so much on the laptop with the KA2 interface and AT-M50X headphones and I'm very happy with Native. 

Using LT with headphones, the sound and level changes depending on whether you set the output to Multi, 1/4", and XLR. 

Why is that?
