Forgive me if this is a dumb question. Can I input from my effects though through my iRig and then somehow route the output into my effects return? Or do I need a physical helix to do something like this?
So as I've mentioned in a previous post I'm trying to expand my Helix with expression pedals and other external gear, and in a lot of the videos I've seen people use cables with two TRS ends that combine into one on the other end.
For example with the Ernie Ball VP Jr as the expression pedal, they plug the dual end into both the input and output and then the single end into the Helix. I have currently been using it with just a normal cheapo pedal connector cable from the output to the Exp 2 or 3 jack, but I was wondering if there was something I was missing that made the dual cable necessary. I know that if the pedal is just an expression pedal I don't need this, but I already have one EB VP Jr and would prefer to just get another.
I also have a similar question for using an always on external tuner (just sending signal to the input vs plugging into both sides of the tuner), although I'm fairly certain that I just need to send to the input for that.
Hello guys,
I want to loop my guitar and Akai MPK mini simultaneously through the Helix looper pedal, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Currently I have a Helix LT (with a guitar ofc) connected to my PC, which is running Ableton Live. Everything is monitored through a Headrush monitor via XLR Out.
I would select USB 1/2 as an input in my patch but since it bypasses the whole signal chain there's no way to run it through any effects pedals. I know I can loop through a DAW but using the Helix feels more accessible to me.
Would appreciate any kind of help!
I legitimately don't understand this. How in the fresh hell can you ship a router, call it modern, and not even have the ability to port forward with both a To port and a From port? That's absolutely basic. Hell, this router HAD that ability, then they removed it when they switched to Helix Fi.
Why am I unable to change the DNS? Again, basic feature on any other router, here, you can look at it.
This is a joke, right? I'm just being pranked? Because I find it hard to believe that videotron thinks this is an acceptable product in 2021.
Title pretty much says it.
I use 4cm about 90% of the time with my output block on Path 1A set to Send 1/2 and the Input of 2a set to Return 1. This allows me to have one path setup for "Pre-amp" effects and the other path for effects loop stuff. I wish there was an option for me to just select Send 1 as the output.
Doing it this way would save space on the path because eliminates a loop block (freeing up DSP?) for your amp's preamp, keeps patches better organized, and allows me to access the input gate on Path 2a and filter out some hiss from my amp.
I posted this on ideascale, just looking for anyone else that might've encountered it.
My Vox AC15 Does not have an FX Loop and i was wondering if i can do it (guitar --- Helix--- Amp) with 1/4 input jack cables
I just got a Helix, and the first thing I thought when I first saw the sheer amount of features this thing has is whether or not it would be possible to recreate Chewie II, Ed Sheeran's custom built loop pedall. This is my first really nice piece of gear, and it has a really steep learning curve, so I'm hoping that maybe someone here could have some knowledge to share.
Hello,
Long story short, I'm learning Helix and I have a good feeling for which effects will fulfill my needs. However, when it comes to selecting amp+cab I still lack basic knowledge of the gear which I can select.
Can anyone recommend one or a few good sources which should help me getting a good understanding of the different categories of cabs and amps in general (and thus not per se each Helix model individually). Or can anyone simplify the decision making process of which amp/cab to choose, and perhaps categorise the different types of cabs/amps?
