I understand that new products of this complexity are going to have bugs which don't emerge until after launch but what puzzles me is that the Line 6 staff who are generally quick to comment on the various fora have so far remained silent on the lockups. They must be aware of it and one presumes they must be investigating and so why not say so? They may not have found the cause(s) but an acknowledgement that they are actively looking and seeking a solution surely wouldn't do any harm?
I have been very interested in this product since it was announced and what I've seen and heard since it's launch is very impressive indeed imo. My intention was to gig with it as a complete replacement for my current rig however I won't touch it with a barge pole if it's got some mystery bug in it that could cause random crashes part way through a song. Reliability is right up there with tone and usability imo. So come on Line 6, tell us what's going on.
Does it djent?
do you lose everything then? What caused it?
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
I can't believe after all the time and effort they have put into the Helix they would let it go out with a problem like this. If so many people have reported it so soon after release, then how did the testers not notice it?
A good reputation is so easy to lose. It could be costly for Line 6. It's a shame.
Imagine this happening at a gig....
I did mention in my "first thoughts" post some 15-30 pages back that I managed to freeze up Paul's unit, though that only necessitated a power cycle restart - not a factory reset. I haven't lost faith in any of this yet, but I do find it funny that people expect bleeding edge tech to be 100% perfect out of the box - please name the last piece of electonics (of equivalent complexity) that was flawless from day one?
