Helix 3.2 when?

[Bob Zaod]

It's none of my business, but I can't help say it's really unfair that you justify your treatment to DI, who I don't think was aware of your support issue, on your problem with other people who work in the same company. DI works at Line6 but he's not Line6.

You actually seem to have personal problems that you're loading on the wrong people, and believe me, I only try to help by saying that. Try to decrease workload before it gets over you.

Anyway, if you're happier now that you're out of beta testing, that's good.

I live a pretty fruitful life with no more problems than anyone else has. I do work a lot but I love my job, I could just put in 8 a day and call it but the work I do is sometimes crucial to whether someone lives or dies so I put in extra effort. It's not putting me closer to the grave or anything. I won't have someone holding something over my head and trying to control me that's all. At least not someone who is insignificant in my day to day life.

Not that big of a deal really but I also refuse to keep my mouth shut if I'm not happy with a product or service. Same goes with if I'm happy, I will shout it from the rooftops.

Well, controlling you and reminding you not to talk about a confidential beta, which is something you signed, are completely different things, but to each their own ^_^U

Yeah..ok.

I can't help but notice Frank hasn't been nearly as active over the last year. Not that it's his job, but I just don't see him around much. It used to be anytime anyone had an issue with a Helix, he'd pop in ask for a DM and then take care of it. Luckily I haven't had to get anything serviced or repaired yet.

I believe he had been promoted or in another position at YGG. Could be that his duties have changed or have kept him too busy to cruise forums/socials. I've been off Facebook for a few months so I haven't been able to keep up with anyone.

 

[James Freeman]

Frank has more responsibility now, he is the Director of Operations at YGG and assumed responsibility for the Supply Chain Team.

It's probably a smarter and healthier thing to spend LESS time on social media and forums!

My multitasking tops out at drinking coffee, pooping and watching forum on the phone. And the pooping part is mostly done by itself… so yeah… two things max.

Wow - I didn’t realize that. Congrats to Frank!

Did he really? Everyone’s been waiting to hear confirmation…

That’s exciting.
Now people can have something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving!

...footswitches are a pain to deal with and are one of the most vulnerable parts besides USB ports.

I live in constant fear of the USB B ports on Helix and QC. Already had one failure on an HX Stomp, and it would have been way past my soldering skills to try and fix it myself. The way I use these devices, USB is mandatory, so an RMA is the only solution. And once warranties are expired...

Thing is, USB-B are (mechanically) way more rugged than modern alternatives such as USB-C.

USB-B cables are a bit of a PITA to work with though.

 

[James Freeman]

USB B is still the most durable USB socket available that's why they still use it.
You do not want to trip on a micro-USB or USB-C cable that is connected to something heavy on the floor.

Actually, the reason most standalone devices use USB-B is that it is the only plug type guaranteeing you won't be able to connect two host computers to one another. But yeah, it's also by far the best mechanical option.

I don't have any MTBF statistics to quote or anything like that, but I don't see how USB-B can be regarded as most rugged/durable. To be fair, I wouldn't want to trip on any of the above - I'd expect nearly any connection to fail if I did. But as far as probability of permanent damage after simply connecting/ disconnecting a cable n times... the only jack I've ever seen fail was that HX Stomp USB B jack. The plastic center breaks, leaving the conductors unprotected, and then those bend, and then game over.

(Rumor had it that there was a run of USB jacks made of more brittle plastic than most, some of which got into early Stomps. Not sure whether that's true or not.)

True until a couple of years ago, when USB-C was introduced. Not that USB-C is all that robust either, but... see my previous post.
