Levelwise you should set Output Level aswell as Sent/Return to Line in the Global settings. I'd use the loop in parallel mode and set all FX (modulations, reverbs, delays 100% wet [mix =100%]).
-
Great resource! Also great looks. I'd suggest to add the mic models as well. Maybe with frequency response graphs?
-
Problem is you propose to change the behaviour of the circuit the guitar electrics and cable form in conjunction with the input impedance. It's more than just less volume when the input impedance is lowered. And you imply that it has to be adjusted to specific guitars which is just not true.
-
Your question "Does it match your guitar?" implies that you misunderstand the purpose of the variable input impedance.

Can I use TRS cables for HX? According to manual, it has unbalanced TS out jacks. - I got the infos from: Since I couldn't find confirming sources for that, my original answer is probably wrong. So unbalanced outs would mean depending on cable length there might be noise that you could minimize with a D.I. box given a short cable from Hx to D.I. and a long cable to FRFR device. Since you would set the Hx output to line level the induced noise on the cable way should be small compared to the signal and might not be audible, but that highly depends on noise sources in the field. What is " A/D and D/A" in your flow? - Digital to Analog and vice versa conversion. You might want to visit a music store to try different FRFR solutions since it can feel quite different compared to a real amp. Also you might consider all in one solutions with integrated amp modeling like the POD Go / Helix / Hx Stomp.
-
Active FRFR speakers in most cases have balanced inputs, either XLR, TRS or combo. Therefore the recommended of connecting the Hx Effects is directly via TRS cable. Unbalanced TS is possible, but it won't eliminate noise that is potentially induced along the cable way. A Di box is not needed. The schema looks fine. Keep in mind that A/D and D/A conversion from and to the loop add signal loss and latency. Worst case: Git -> input A/D -> loop1 D/A -> MG 300 A/D -> MG 300 D/A -> loop1 A/D -> loop2 D/A-> boost -> loop2 A/D -> output D/A
-
Lol. Not much, I guess. But keeping that in mind might be the first step for improvement.

I once searched for my sun glasses everywhere until I found them on my head. Also I searched for a key that I just had but now couldn't find... until I looked in my left hand. And I tweaked the tone controls on an amp until I liked the sound for some minutes. Tweaked... played... hm, not there yet... tweaked etc. When I wanted to switch off the device I realized that I tweaked a secondary disengaged amp block for the whole session.
-
If you are recording and want the best signal to noise ratio you should (obviously) chose Helix's USB interface directly. When you use an external recording interface you add D/A conversion of the Helix, a preamp with additional noise and A/D conversion of your interface. Three unnecessary steps that will each decrease the quality of the signal.
-
Also: The "OD" that you discribed in the op is not an overdrive, it's an octave fuzz. The weird thing you hear is the low octave that it mixes in. It doesn't track very fast.
-
There is a Hall block active (DSP1) with short decay which would sound like an echo.
-
Do you use a high amount of early reflections (Relflec in cab parameters)?
-
This ocours If you set the Global Settings - Tip Polarity and/or Ring Polarity to Inverted AND - FS4 Function and/or FS5 Function to TAP/Tuner since this will engage the Tuner if FS4 or FS5 is NOT pressed.
-
Yes, sorry. I don't own the big floor unit and assumed it to have Analog Bypass. That was the only explanation for the problem of the op that I could come up with.
-
I have the suspicion that your device doesn't leave hardware bypass due to a faulty relais. When you boot the Helix do you hear a click right before it finishes booting? And when you enter Analog Bypass Mode (hit Mode and Tap at the same time) does it click then?
-
Early reflections option for IRs.

Here is a video that documents what's happening: In that video's comment section BluGuitar stated: Also BluGuitar made a video where they show how awesome that Amp1-HX Effects combination works:
-
Mine neither. But I'm a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx veteran, so the HxStomp is a walk in the park for me. But our experience does not apply to newbies at all.
-
Wait... Does this mean you didn’t bother to read the thread? - My guess was disproven days ago in this thread.
-
If your favourite amp is the BE-100 than this comparison might help:
-
Greenbacks. Or a mix of Greenbacks and Vintage30s like in the Friedman 4x12 Vintage cab. Also try G12H30s for a different vibe.

Funny, true, but also a bit hypocritical, don't you think? After all Line6 is making money by making sonically indistinguishable copies of devices owned by other brands.
