So DI... want to tell us about HXFX yet?

My LT arrived today! Sadly I won’t get chance to unbox and play until probably tomorrow night but I’m very excited

@BRISTOL86 what monitors did you get in the end, mate?

Nice, enjoy your new gear @BRISTOL86 :-) hope you love it

Thanks mate! Managed to take the Helix out the box at least before I left for the football but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow to be turned on!

Had my Line6 Variax (300 model) sitting in a gig bag for months and had forgotten about it tbh, as I usually play my Squier Standard Strat at home.  

Before I connect my Variax to the Helix LT is there anything I need to know?  Or should it work fine together?

5 minutes in with the Helix and I love it already

So the HXFX is getting all the m-series effects, I’m assuming Helix won’t be. There’s going to be a few cross Helixers

Why, exactly, would you assume that?

Who knows if it's accurate, but

One question folks, I’ve got the Helix hooked up to the Mac and set as the output so that the Mac sound comes out of the monitor speakers. 

However this seems to disable the output volume control on the Mac - so I am forced to use individual program volume controls (ie on YouTube or in iTunes etc)

Is there a way around this? I often play along over stuff on the internet or whatever and I’m finding imbalance in volume from various sources that I would normally counter by using the volume controls on the Mac.  

I guess I could use a pair of normal PC speakers and not bother having the Mac sound coming out of the monitors but then that has its own headaches whenever I want to use headphones.

I would challenge that assumption.
For the size of the M series effects there surely would be no point in doing that

Because DI asked which two of the M Series filters we would want most in Helix. Doesn’t seem to be much point in asking if we were getting all of them

unless the answer is 
"good news you are getting all of them"

Ever heard of "misdirection"?

That's how DI sees us

To assume only makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me". Just a few more hours.
