  1. A couple of years ago I got the HS8's when they had their annual or semi-annual buy one get the second one 1/2 price sale.  Our Guitar Center had a display setup where you could A/B many of the popular brands and sizes.  The HS8's sounded the best to me.  Also the pro-audio guy who has worked there many years recommended the HS8's for guitar over the smaller sizes.  Glad I got the 8's,  YMMV.

  2. Thanks for the post @amsdenj.

     

    I also have a Fishman Triple Play along with Roland VG and GR gear that mostly sit in a closet unused now.

     

    I have dabbled with Jam Origin off and on over the years and  your post got me to thinking about doing something similar with an iPhone or iPad.

     

    Connect iPhone via Helix USB to Apple camera connection kit to iPhone and trigger Sampletank with Jam Origin.

     

    Thanks.

  3. Also bear in mind that if you were to use a wireless unit such as the Relay G10, the impedance load seen by the next unit in the signal chain (Helix, a Pedal or the input of an Amp) and how it would react would no longer be to that of the guitar's preamp electronics. Rather it would be seeing the G10's receiver base output level values. 

    Wow...I never thought of that...I am using a G10.

     

    Thanks ML !

  4. Your Ovation AE will likely sound better connected to the Helix LT's FX Return. However, you should certainly try using the Guitar In, and explore how that sounds. Go with what works best. In case you did not already know, the Input Block may be reassigned to use the FX Return.

    Thanks for the reply ML.

     

    I've tried both the guitar and return and notice little difference in the sound.  It seems when turning down guitar input impedance setting down to 1 M Ohm the sharpness of the highs are attenuated somewhat.

  5. You will NEVER get all the way there running acoustic guitar through an electric guitar amp, though. I promise you. You need FRFR or an acoustic amp or PA or something at least.

     

    Also...

     

    NEVER plug an acoustic guitar into Helix's "Guitar" in. Use "Aux in" if it has a preamp built-in to the guitar, and use a Return if it's passive. Thank me later.

     

    I have a Helix LT and the is no aux in.

     

    Should I plug my Ovation acoustic electric that has a pre amp into the guitar in or one of the returns?

     

    Thanks.

  6. I didn't have a lot of time to spend on this but I was able to switch the mix level in the effects loop from 0% to 100% using the B switch on the Boss FS-6 using a TRS cable plugged into Pedal 2 and the FS-6 mode set to latch and polarity switch set to the left.  I couldn't get the A switch to do anything.
