I have only used the helix with FRFR speakers, so I'm not personally familiar with using it with a traditional amp... but wouldn't you want to use the amp's pre-amp? I wonder if you would like the tone more if you did what I said above, turning off amp modeling on the stomp? With an additional two cables you could try it.

P.S. I am not sure but I think you might be skipping your pre-amp, if nothing is going into your amp's input jack. Try plugging your guitar into the amp input, then run a cable form the fx send to your peddleboard, then another cable from your peddleboard to your fx return.

Not sure that you want to "stick everything in FX return"... the question is which effects do you want on the dry guitar signal before any amplification, and which effects do you want on the amplified signal? This article lays it out pretty well https://www.dawsons.co.uk/blog/how-to-use-an-effects-loop-on-your-amp

What do you mean by "right"? What are you trying to accomplish? Does it sound good?

I'll be that guy and say that the price increase made me appreciate my already-purchased Helix that much more :)

If you are able to make your presets into a single preset and utilize snapshots to change tones... then if you make a change in one snapshot, switch to another, then back to the original, the change will still be there. All changes will go away if you switch presets without saving, but they will remain when switching between snapshots within the current preset.

What @Kilrahi said... just get Native, you could get it later in life but then you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner, just like the Helix :) I'm assuming you might not have another audio interface to plug direct into your PC... FWIW I have the FocusRight 2i4, it works great and I get ~6ms latency in Cubase+Native on my W10 laptop with decent buffer settings.

What do you mean? You can't already place the reverb after the IR block?

Not sure if I stated my case clearly... in dozens of performances, I only had one cutout issue that lasted only a moment. Of course, the tech could be improved... but at the price point, what's available now has done me well.

Gotcha... then I would guess it probably depends on your exact IEM and how you want to use them. If it has its own volume control, then connect to a regular output set to unity, then control volume from your IEM. If you want to control the volume from helix, then connect to phones and program the big knob to control it. Not sure the cables matter if you are not using mono anyway.

I don't understand your use case - are you monitoring yourself only, or dialing in other instruments in the band as well?

Hm... one can hope for 2.9.

Not an ideal solution because requires extra gear but maybe there is some kind of tap tempo midi controller that could send tempo to the helix? I agree that it should average out during however many taps from the last X seconds... thought it already did this. I don't use tap tempo (yet). I guess it only measures between the last two taps?

FWIW it works great for me. I have experienced cutout issues one time in dozens of live performances, it went away after a moment. I'd say if you want an affordable/easy wireless solution now, its a good option. Something better may take years to come out, by that time you can sell your G10S and recoup some money to put toward the new thing. It seems that L6 gear has pretty good resale value.

It does not... one is the left channel, one is the right channel. If you swap the cables between L/R input, the L/R output will swap accordingly. Only matters if you expect certain sounds to be panned left or right.

Ditto this... Helix Native is only 100 bucks, and frequently discounted below that. Well worth the convenience. Otherwise I believe the device you are looking for is called a Studio Monitor Controller. An inexpensive one with only two stereo inputs is about the same price as Native... for your use case, just get Native. P.S. Just realized that it was @CoredusK answering his/her own question... but for others' reference... that is the hardware solution to the problem! Have fun with Native @CoredusK!

Interesting about the world clock. I supposed this would be an advantage if you had other rack effects or synching with other band member's equipment.

Did you try re-installing the drivers?

I'm not sure what the advantage of the rack version is... I suppose if you already have a rack of gear it keeps it more protected, hypothetically if you need to replace the floorboard portion it will be cheaper... but rack+floorboard is more expensive than the all-in-one unit, and then you still need to buy an expression pedal. Also it is nice to be able to see the whole signal chain on the floorboard when you are switching presets/snapshots, especially during a rehearsal when you are tweaking the tone. I recommend getting the floor unit, unless you have a very strong use case for rack mount.

Did you at least get the G10 back in working condition?

Those kinds of knobs are typically held on by friction. I'll bet it will reattach easily.

Stomp just came out so doubtful that a new version will come out for at least a few years I'd say. Also, ditto what @cruisinon2 said about the receiver built-in to helix.

Worst case scenario get a short male to female cable and tie the end to your strap. This is necessary in some guitars with active pickups, even if the transmitter fits.

Why would you do that when you could connect one of the guitars to aux in and give them each their own signal chain?
