TC Helicon

I just want to be sure I'm interpreting the manual correctly. I have preset 491 set to GLOBAL ON for an acoustic guitar tone I use for MOST of my tunes. However there are 1 or 2 presets that I would like to tweak for a different guitar tone. Can I still create alternate guitar tones and guitar effect automation in different presets if I switch the preset I'm adjusting(NOT 491)to GLOBAL OFF without said changes affecting GLOBAL PRESET 491? Just don't want to change preset 491 at all. I know that if GLOBAL is switched to ON withinin any preset, tweaks to guitar tone will also adjust 491. But if I switch GLOBAL to OFF within an individual preset, I should then be able to change the guitar tone and effect automation for just that one preset,am I correct. Thanks everyone!

Something happened to my VL3 about 3 years ago.  When I turn it on the screen is white.  In System Maintenance mode, there is a "System Maintenance" bar at the top of the screen, but there are no menu items, so I cannot Factory Reset it that way.  It does register via USB or midi through any method.  Basically, it turns on, but its as good as a paper weight.  Any ideas on how I can bring her back to life?

I believe I purchased the unit in 2017.

Thanks!

I just picked up a TC Helicon Play acoustic pedal. It works great and I wanted to add the guitar since it had that option, I wanted to try it out. So when I use the pedal with the mic and guitar, whenever I click the food switches, the clicking of the switch comes through my speakers, this only happens when my guitar is plugged in. I tried an amp and a PA and they both do the same thing with the clicking sound. I even reset my pedal back to factory settings and made sure I was updated to the newest firmware. We tried turning down "roomsense" and tried turning down the guitar volume on the pedal, still getting the clicking sound. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thanks

This ia a follow up to a first glitch question. I have included a screenshot of the issue. My VL3X is running the most up to date firmware 2.2.00 366. Out of nowhere I can no longer import backtracks. Using same formatted usb drive I've always used. I've made sure there is space left on the unit to import tracks. I performed a factory reset and reloaded my presets and even tried importing a backtrack immediately after factory reset and before reloading my saves. I am still getting a frozen screen where the top portion shows half of the IMPORTING TRACKS message while the rest of the screen is showing the track list. I have around 45 standard length songs loaded onto the unit and can import no more. Am I screwed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. An expensive unit to suddenly lose this crucial feature and I'm exceedingly frustrated after hours of research to no avail. Many thanks.

First glitch with my unit as I went to import 2 new backtracks and the top portion of the screen displayed half of the IMPORTING BACKTRACKS message while the rest of the screen was still displaying the backtrack listing menu. I waited to see if it would clear and start importing but no. I then powered down and restarted and tried again but got the same thing. Lastly I thought maybe I exceeded the track limit and deleted some extras that were old and unused, tried again and got the same thing. Anyone else experience this? any suggested fixes. In researching the only suggestion I found for freezes was a factory reset. Is this my only option,and if I do that can I reload my saved presets from voicesupport 2? Finally, could this be firmware? The last time I connected my unit 2 days ago I got no message stating update was required. Does an update message pop up automatically once my unit is recognized? I realize that's kind of three seperate questions so hopefully this message makes sense. I just want to know why my LED screen is displaying weird when attempting to load backtracks and why the backtracks are not loading. Thanks everyone.
