I’ve seen a couple of topics on how to run the Simplifier Classic with HX Stomp. I’m using Helix LT as my main recording rig and a Simplifier DLX as a silent practice rig but, just for a bit of fun, thought I’d try to integrate the two.
This is how I’ve set it up:
Guitar > LT Input > [Effects run before amp] > Mono send block > LT Send 1 > Simplifier Input > Simplifier L&R Out > LT Return 1 & 2 > Stereo Return block > LT Delay/Reverb > LT L&R Outs to studio monitors
I’ve also tried putting the LT delays and reverbs before the stereo return block. It’s my intention to use the preamp and the cabsim of the Simplifier with the reverb off, us the the LT for both pre and post amp effects and to monitor from the LT.
Have I “oversimplified” it? The threads I’ve read all seem to utilise the effects loop of the Simplifier such as:
Guitar > HX Input > HX Send > Simplifier Input > Simplifier Send > HX Return L > HX Output L/R > Simplifier Return L/R with an FX Loop block on the HX (presumably before the HX output) and then monitor through the Simplifier.
Am I missing something by not utilising the effects loop of the Simplifier?
