Plus, no, I want to keep it simple for playing live. I want everything coming from the Helix.
-
Also, just using a blank patch on FH, 32-D to be exact.
-
Spikey, I have a Helix floor unit. No buffered guitar output. :)
-
Good info, thanks!
-
Sure! do these help?
-
Using all 3. Guitar input routes to center speakers, monitor inputs route to coaxial stereo speakers for wet-dry-wet implementation.
-
1, and 2: correct. Sending from Helix L/Mono out to Firehawk guitar input. Firehawk is on a blank patch.have fun! :)
-
Well, turns out I needed to switch the 1/4" output on the Helix from line level to instrument level. I was hitting the Firehawk's input too hard. Problem solved, sounds MAGNIFICENT now!
-
Thanks for the input everyone, I'll report my results. :)
-
I've contacted Sweetwater where I bought it. I think I'm going to try another, see if mine is just defective.
-
It sure does sound like clipping, but yeah I tried it with the gain knob in varying positions.
-
Gah! Not fixed, it only happens when I play loud and hit the strings hard it attenuates the note to a super thin sound that swells as the note dies, almost like some component is loading up, or something.
-
Figured it out, sounds no less than AWESOME now, thanks! :)
-
Yeah, I did. I just tried running it with the XLRs to the monitor, and 1/4" to the guitar input, and it seems better, but I'll be trying it at practice tomorrow where I can get louder and see if it holds up. The whole thing was much worse at high volume.
-
When I plug my Helix into the Firehawk 1500 using XLR cables to the monitor input the sound is intermittent with wild volume fluctuations. Is my Firehawk defective, or am I doing something wrong?
