I have to agree. I didn't think I needed the powercab Plus. Well, I did! A few more bucks, a lot more capability and a Sweetwater swap and I am very happy. I too am a stricly home player/recorder person and I went full bore with the Helix floor and I am sooooooo VERY satisfied that I did.

Yep, setup FX Loop 1/2 on preset. Ditto X2 Mono input to Send 1 R, X2 Output to Return L. Works like a champ. Thanks for the comment!! :-) \

Have you found an answer?

I have the same problem, I guess we are complete dummies or no one else has ever hooked up a ditto X2 to their Helix.

Thank all of you for the replies. I wound up purchasing the Powercab112 "Active" and it sounds wonderful. The 112 Active fits my needs perfectly. The S5 goes on Reverb soon :-).

Hi all, Am I correct in assuming that my Spider V 120 will work just as well with my new Helix, using the AUX 3.55 mm to Line Out 1/4 left/mono, right jacks? With a Spider V 120 preset, set to all clean - no color??

Thank you for the tip. I am using Klipsch R51-PM monitors with Studio One and Presonus 26c connected to my computer. I am so new to this, so that any advice would be excellent. I use my setup to learn guitar, record song ideas, and record myself playing along to songs. I took a 35-year hiatus from playing and trying to recreate the sounds of my favorite guitarists. I usually play the guitar amped by the Spider and use Studio One to play songs through my R51's. I could connect the Helix to the R51's by USB, but don't you think shoving my guitar and the song playback through the R51's would be too much? As I said before, I am pretty much a newbie at this, and if you could elaborate on the "tweaked my presets to my studio monitors," I would so appreciate it. I expect my Helix to ship in March, so I am reading up on the manual to gain some insight before I jump in. Thanks again for your help!

Is there anyone out here that is using a Spider V 120 with a Helix floor? I am awaiting the arrival of my new Helix and I am considering using the 1/8 inch AUX out from Spider V 120 to 1/4" in/out of helix. Then either USB or XLR to Presonus 26c into Studio One 5 pro. Has anyone ventured in this direction? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks all.

Thank you!!! Woo Hoo
