When Using the Helix Stadium Native Intro Version…
The set of available categories and models in the Intro version is more limited than in the complete version. Therefore, several categories in the left column of the Model Browser (Preamps, Pitch/Synth, and Wah/Filter) remain dimmed since they include no available models. Within each selectable category, clicking Get more models… takes you to the Line 6 Online Store, where you can optionally purchase the upgrade to the complete version of Helix Stadium Native to expand the number of available models, as shown below.
As shown in the example above, the Distortion and Reverb blocks appear with “lock” icons, indicating they use models not included in the Intro version. You can click on one of these blocks and use the Model Browser to select an included model, if desired.

Setting the switch to the right enables Snapshot Control, and setting it to the left disables it. When enabled, you can set a different value for each of the eight Snapshots. By default, all parameters are set with Snapshot Control disabled, with the exception of the block’s Bypass switch, which is enabled by default.
