I have had the Helix about two days and I have some questions about it: I am using it with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with and without 4 cable method. Therefore, I mostly use mono effects. So wonder if I am using a mono amp can I sometimes use stereo effects? I like the stereo chorus and the rotary speaker. I don't understand the parallel routing and wonder if I will use it much since I going into a mono amp (return loop). When and why would you route this way especially with my setup? I am coming from a Boss GT 100 background and miss things like touch wah , auto wah, accustic simulator, and ability to mimic different types of pickups. I am happy so for I have put in two programs for EC's Badge and Pretending. Since I am using a mono amp in return loop and 4 cable method should I primarily use the preamp models or should I look at amp and cabs? Also I find the scribble strips too bright sometimes and wish there was a way to adjust the contrast and brightness. Maybe this will be a future addition. Still rockin and liking the Helix so for. Thanks for any tips and advice you guys can give me. By the way I am visually impaired so that is why I hope for changes in the scribble strips.

I have 150 and plugged my dobro hound dawg and used tube instrument preamp. I tried to put levels as loud as I could get and bam I received feedback. Is 150 not able to handle acoustic guitar? I tried to use noise gate and this somewhat but not much. Does anyone have ideas to try this Amplifi with acoustic guitar? Thanks,

Thanks for your help

In amplifi app, stomps have gain and drive. What is the difference? How do I use these two settings to get a variety to stomp sounds? I am new to Line6 gear. I have Amplifi 150. Thanx.

Okay I have a GT 100 that I am trying to run through the auxiliary input. When I set the levels to about 12 o'clock on the 150, and play my strat plus I notice there is some speaker static and slight clipping. Can the amplifi handle the hot signal of a multi effects unit if run hot. I called 2x line6 and one employee said yes it is an amp so can handle signal. Another said that smaller speakers (when stereo effects are used) may not handle signal. Could I gain stage it by turning down got aux signal and then boasting master volume?
