wood-n-wire

I use the helix for multiple instruments when giging. i send my Guitar out through xlr out, mandolin out through send/return 1&2, and lap steel out through send/return 3&4. Sometimes I like using headphones to practice. I get audio from guitar (xlr) but no audio from any of. the send/returns. I could use some advice… is this even possible? Thx!

Setting the Ins/Outs to Inst did the trick. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the vid - very helpful! I am trying to use a mandolin with an LR Baggs going in to Return 2. I get very little signal going on Return 2. But seems to work fine on Guitar in. My goal is to keep the mando plugged in on Return 2. Here are a couple screen grabs of the patch. First shows settings of multi input and second shows Return. Not sure why I get little to no signal coming out of return....

I use different instruments for different patches on the Helix. Sometimes quick instrument changes are needed so I don't want to fumble around with cables but would like to just pick the already plugged in instrument off the rack. I've been playing around with the send/return as an input on a patch but get crickets. Does anyone know how to set up a patch using the Send/Return as input and XLR out for output? Most of my patches use Guitar in but would like to be able to keep a guitar and mandolin plugged in concurrently. Thanks!
