Hi everyone, would any other contact cleaner do the same job?

Sometimes cleaning residue will attract dust faster making your switches sticky again, and probably faster than the 1st time. I would suggest using a contact cleaner in an aerosol can. It's designed for this kind of an application. Part of the problem you have is dirty contacts on the switches which just getting wet wont do much, you want the cleaning solution plus some air movement to create a mechanical cleaning action on the switch contacts. Another thing you could try is a air duster in a can with this cleaning solution, or use your current cleaning solution and a vacuum. Then when you need more cleaner get contact cleaner instead for this kind of application.

Odd they used mini switches under a normal style foot switch cap, instead of just using full size switches.

Have the same issue, any solution ?

awesome comparison thank you

esto que tu haces no funciona!!! hay que poner los interruptores nuevos!!! cambiarlos por otros nuevos desoldando y soldando.

Dude, 2 years later Im still struggling with this.....I follow your instruction exactly and it doesn't work for me..

Its a good model !

Very cool Alex, I have yet to do any of my own NAM captures but would like to get into it a bit, have the poly Beebo which could play nano captures, you used any hardware pedals to play NAM stuff live away from computers so far?

Side effects are generally mild and may include perception of the amp being changing by amp placement, time of month, alignment of stars, color of guitar and blood caffeine levels. Other mild symptoms may include headache, anal leakage, bleeding and death. If you experience an (________) lasting more than 4 hours please ...............

So its a shit y problem🤘🏻

i just need my helix to have exp1 to volume. but it controsl exp 1 and 2 at eh same time. why?

Excellent video, been playing for decades never knew really how to use gates and compressor thanks

Nice video, I like these technical analyses. I'm in the process of feeding my pedal board directly into the power amp, to get rid of the additional gain staging noise from the preamp and effects block. Btw the main reason for the difference between fx return and power amp in, is that the fx return still passes thru the katana fx block whereas the power amp in doesnt. Even with all effects turned off, I imagine it will still affect the signal to some degree

Have you encountered Line 6 helix USB B issue not detecting when plug in into the computer?

use liquid DeoxIT

Thanks again for sharing your video of the process. I left it open and used a dropper to flood with deoxit 4 times over the course of a day. I didn't bother with masking tape. It helped a bit on my helix, but the worst switch (mode) is still pretty flaky. I'll probably try soldering in new switches if I can find the right ones.

Hello, thank you for the help, this help me with future irs to make in my cuvave cube baby pedal(have too much high frequencys in tone of preamps of the pedal)

Could you also replace the buttons?

Hi! Can you tell me, what is the height of switch? 4.3 mm or 5 ? I want to replace mine. Thank you!

What Is the Liquid You use for clean the switchs? Isopropyl Alcohol?

Was hoping to see a desolder/replacement.. ya know, an actual repair. 😅

Hey bro what speakers are you using they sound huge. Like dayum bro. Are u using and IR or stock cabs? I’m trying to get my setup to sound better. I think my speakers are the weak spot. I have cali audio lp-8’s and a pod go. Which uses the same modeling as the helix.

It’s not that it’s difficult, but there’s so much, this is my 3rd day with the helix, I don’t feel lost but still looking things up.

Hello bro, One question, why do we also record our guitar? Wouldn't it be enough to use the original signal and obtain the equalization curve from it?

Many thanks this is a very useful video, did the repair this morning, given 3 foot switches were bouncing and unusable My Helix dates back to 2016 and well out of warranty, so not an awful lot to lose. I took the time to tape up switch regions as well and used a electrical contact cleaner spray from Amazon. Hints =---= 1). Take a photo before disassembly. 2). Loosen all screws 2 turns before going back taking them out. 3). When putting the screws back in, do not tighten before all screws are in place. 4). Be careful around those two units on either side of the switches, they are the LED's. This cured the problem for the time being..... Look forward to playing every day for the next 8 years.

I didn’t understand what is your amp and if you go into the amp through input in

Ok, but what most of us are interested is how does it sound through the speaker

Same issue here. Latest firmware, other midi devices send expression pedal CC just fine, tried multiple DAWs, cables, etc. Plugged in other expression pedals into Midi Captain, same issue. It's definitely the Midi Captain itself. I'm going to email support.

how can i pass for EXP1 to EXP2 on the display?

Is that 46 & 2 by Tool, the bass riff ur playing at the beginning? Lol

Se puede desactivar los amp? Y trabajar solo con IR?

I've got the same Issue with 2 switches... I am a little afraid to open this thing up. But your Video helped me alot. I maybe should give it a try soon. :)

inB4 "but muh quad cortex!"

I’ve been gigging and cranking mine since 2015. Recently I decided to buy a small interface for running a guitar and mic into Logic Pro X and realized the Helix also does that job with no problem. When you factor in everything the Helix does, it’s by far the most inexpensive musical product I’ve ever bought.

How’s it battery powered?

Sir, I’m using DMC3 and I wonder is there any pacific midi cable to use cuz I can only preset up and down. I cannot access more into my Hx stomp

Thank you Very clear info

Hi Alex, this video is super helpful! My question is, have you revisited this technique in tone captures off of isolated guitar tracks and discovered anything new that works better?

Alex, if you can create me an EQ-matched, high quality IR of Metallica’s “Through the Never” guitar tone I’ll love you forever❤. The first 6 or 7 sec of the song is only James’ guitar, which is this tone I’m after buddy! I know it shouldn’t take you more than 20 min to knock it out, but you’re the master at this! Thanks again bro, think of it as a Christmas present for me ;)

Thank you for explaining this man 🤘🏻

Hi, I have a helix floor with this problem: it loses the input signal, the signal goes in fits and starts, the symbol on the input display flashes red, then it starts working again for a while, sometimes it works for hours and then repeats the problem. Lately it also crashes, meaning the large display turns off and all the small displays start flashing. What could it be? I was thinking about the power supply, thanks for any response

When the isolated guitar sample or the original song is stereo, don't you need to make the stereo guitar mono first? is it ok to work with the stereo signal for tone matching?

Very nice video bro! but... why the resolution is so badddd...?

Sir can i ask for your preset for wah

Which are the dual footswitches that you use?

Damn this is conflusing. Like a coding class...

I paid £150 for a mk1 100watt Combo , its now my main gigging amp, the JVM 100 stays home

A great tool is the gumtown Floorboard. It allows you to create custom Chains, so you can put any effect in any location. The other thing it has, aside from all the ‘sneaky’ amps, is hundreds of preconfigured patches. I’m loving this amp
