Look it up fast

Tables, diagrams and fixes. Built to be opened mid-session with a guitar still on, not read front to back.

The hardware

Controls and footswitches

Every control on an interactive top panel, plus what the six LED colours actually mean.

Every jack on an interactive rear panel, the two loops, and why USB is not an interface.

The numbers that answer a question, starting with the one that defines the device.

Sound

Line 6's own decoder for the HX library. The amps are not on this device; the effects are.

With no amp or cab in the way, what you can actually fit.

Using it

In front, in the loop, four-cable, or direct with an IR.

Four snapshots, two footswitch modes, and the global bypass combo.

Straight answers to the things people actually ask.

Symptom, cause, fix — including what is documented behaviour rather than a fault.

Block, snapshot, four-cable method, IR, Legacy.
