Anyone if there were any new factory patches in 2.60?

The signal chain for most amps with an FX send/return is preamp - FX send - FX return - poweramp. There are several ways to use the FX send/return with a Helix. he simple way would be to just plug the Helix into the FX returns instead of the guitar inputs of the heads. That will, though, bypass the preamp (assuming this is how the EVH 50 is wired) There is a method called the "4 cable" method that will allow you to use the amp's preamp whenever you want to or not. For your purposes you will need to use two Helix FX send/returns. This is assuming you want to maintain the stereo thing. And this is from memory as I am not at home but here goes. Program the Helix: Create a split in your patch just before the output. Make it an A/B split and pan them hard left and right. I believe both the split input and output each have a pan parameter. Program an FX send/return block into each path (A/B) of your patch after the split so your left and right outputs each have one assigned to them. Assign one FX send/return block to FX send 1 and FX return 1 and one to FX send and return 2. Cable everything up: Plug your guitar into the Helix. Plug each FX send into one of the amps guitar inputs so both amps have one Helix FX send going into each amp. Plug each amps FX send into the same Helix FX return it's getting it's Helix FX send from. Plug the Helix's left and right outputs into each amps FX return. So here is the path you are striving for Guitar -> Helix patch-> Split -> Helix FX send 1 -> amp 1 guitar input -> amp 1 FX send -> Helix FX return 1 -> Helix 1/4" left out -> amp 1 FX return -> Helix FX send 2 ->amp 2 guitar input -> amp 2 FX send -> Helix FX return 2 -> Helix 1/4" right ou t-> amp 2 FX return That's the signal path to use the amps preamp. To put it simply. Guitar - Helix - Amp input (this gets you to the amps preamp) - Helix FX return - Helix FX only patch - Helix output - Amp FX return For no preamp you simply bypass the FX send from the patches path and the amp then gets it's input signal only from the Helix output. so... Guitar - Helix - (no Helix FX send/return) - Helix patch - Helix output - Amp FX return This whole system requires some well thought out patch creation (has to do with FX send/return placement and usage) There are other things you can do (for example: you can create a pathch so both the Helix's full amps and the Amp's pream are available) but I'm running out of time so you'll need to look up the rest yourself. Or I'll finish tomorrow. Look for 4 cable method if you're going on the internet. It will be a hassle, but what you want can be accomplished. At least what i think you want i.e. stereo Helix.

You have run out of memory. There is a solution. Take your output for path 1 and assign it to path 2a (I think. I'm not home). now move some of your effects to path 2 which has the same amount of memory as path 1. Then assign path 2's output to what path 1's output is assigned to now. Should have enough memory for that now. Path 1 is the top line, Path 2 is the bottom line.

I would strongly suggest you download the manual just to expediate things. See page 35. The quick answer is, there are 8 possible snapshots. Unless they have been retitled from what the default title is (Snapshot 1, 2, 3, etc.), you would just have to monitor the patch as you switched Snapshots in order to see if they have any "content". To tweak, go to the snapshot you want to tweak. Assign the parameters you want to tweak to "Snapshots" by right clicking them and selecting Snapshots. There are two different modes in which Snapshots are saved. In one mode, you have to save the snapshots (just save the patch, that saves the Snapshot) before you can go to another one or you will lose the changes you made. In the other mode you can edit each snapshot and move on to the other snapshots you want to edit and you will not lose whatever edits you made in the other snapshots. Of course, again, to save the snapshots, just save the patch. You do, no matter what mode you use, need to do that before you move to another patch.

I know your post was a year ago but I just tried to look up GorillaEars and they are out of business. Thought you might want to know.

Check out this thread. Is this similar to what you're experiencing?

So when you turned off the noise gate, I know there was a lot of hum, but did the low guitar signal phenomenon still happen? If it did lower your threshold.

I added more to the post so check it out. 1) The looper can be anywhere of course but for your purposes, you want it at the front so yes 2) I think of it more as on/off but yes. 3) yes (I'm pretty sure). Also, I'm not sure, but I think if you turn it on from the screen that will put you in looper mode as well.

Assign the looper to a footswitch. When you press the footswitch to turn it on you will be in looper mode on the pedal. If you want to change patches in the middle of your loop, press the bank up or down footswitch. Go ahead and select the patch you do want. Once you do that, it should put you back in looper mode on the pedal. If you do this, the new patch you select MUST 1) Have a looper in it of the same type (mono or stereo) 2) It's looper must be assigned to a footswitch. 3) It's looper must be in the same path as the previous patche's was.

Hard to diagnose without seeing each patch. Is your noise gate on and if it is, what happens when you turn it off?

Hey DI. I have a JTV Variax. Does the input pad work if I select the JTV Variax mag pickups instead of the JTV Variax modelling? I'm guessing not but I am curious.

In the upper left corner of your thread, just below your name and avatar, there should be a plus sign and next to it a label that says "Add Tag". Click on the plus sign and then type out "answered" in the box.

Yes and mark this one as answered.

Yes, that's what I do. Don't forget to assign each path's multi output to snapshots otherwise when you change snapshots, nothing will happen.

It appears that each path's Multi output is up full for each snap shot. I believe there are several ways to correct this. My way is to assign each Multi output's level to snapshots. Then, starting with snapshot 1 and assuming the top path (path A) is for "MAIN" and the bottom path (path B) is for "Clean"; for Snapshot 1 "MAIN" keep path A's multi output level at 0dB and turn path B's ouput level all the way down. Do the opposite for Snapshot 2, Path A all the way down and B at 0dB. Click SAVE.

That's the impression I get. The mystery isn't what the words were, it was (and still is for me) what the actual "official" difference is between the two terms. Like I said, and you as well, it seems a Full Range speaker is one that adequately reproduces the full range of sound and a Full Range Flat Response speaker is designed to have a much flatter frequency response curve, often through some kind of processing. But again, technically many a guitar speaker is Full Range as well. They just have a very curvy frequency response curve so I wouldn't refer to a guitar speaker as full range.

I think maybe the terms Full Range and FRFR are often interchanged. Technically a guitar speaker is "Full Range" (reproduces from 20-20k) like this classic guitar speaker https://celestion.com/product/15/g12t75/ but I wouldn't describe it as Full Range since the frequency response curve is so, well, curvy. Then we have this "Full Range" speaker. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Peavey/PBK-12-Full-range-12-in-2-Way-Passive-Speaker.gc But I don't think it would be considered a FRFR speaker because I think it would color it a bit. After doing a bit of research, it seems like Full Range is for a speaker that adequately reproduces the full 20-20k spectrum and an FRFR speaker is a Full Range speaker that has a much flatter frequency response, often due to some digital manipulation...I think. I'm not even sure that there is an overall consensus on what the difference is. At least I can't find a concrete description of what the difference is. Sorry for kind of beating this to death. Just looking to get my terms right and I think this is a case where no one really knows.

Just curious, isn't a full range amp the same as a flat response amp?

One thing I've done is I have a JTV Variax so I have the tone knob on my JTV Variax control the feedback. My delay time is set at 28ms-508ms, controlled by the expression pedal. The feedback I have going from , 39%-100% with my mix set at 67%. I haven't really done a lot of tweaking but the tone knob lets me simulate it a little better since both delay and feedback are controlled seperately in the real thing.

I don't think this forum will help that much. Try the Computer Based Redcording forum. Having said that, have you tried a different computer?

See pages B5-B7 in the HD500X Advanced Guide.

I had this issue with my first string on my 89F. I replaced the piezo. It's easy. Just take a deep breath and do it. Here's all the info you need if ya want to do this. Workbench is another option. Thank you for the email and interest in Graph Tech. I would be happy to help with your inquiry 1) Yes, the bridge on your JTV 89F is one of our PN-0080-B0 ghost bridges 2) Yes, the saddles on this bridge are of the PN-0080-B6 variety 3) You can purchase the entire saddle (the price would be pro-rated) or simply the inserts themselves. 4) We don't have printed instructions for this process but I can spell them out very easily. If an order interests you, please provide a complete shipping address and I will generate a sales quote for your evaluation. We accept Visa, MasterCard & PayPal I await your response Best regards!

The one thing I have come across recently after the upgrade, is my Variax tone knob will come up all the way down, even though it's at 10 in the patch. I have to turn it down and then back up and save it, some times more than once, before it will "stick".

Just an FYI. Although you aren't getting one I thought I'd put this out there since I almost made this mistake. You have said whether you have the rack mount or floor model of the Helix but the Mission pedal with the footswitch for the Helix is only for the rack mount Helix. The footswitch does not work with the floor model Helix. Just thought this should be made clear. Thank you for posting your work.
