This question is regarding the Trails option in the FX Loop Settings as a workaround for spillover.
If I have Trails set to On for an FX loop in a preset, does that mean that the Return is always active? Or does Helix ignore signal coming into the Return until the Send is activated?
I am planning to use an external delay pedal with the Helix, and I thought that this might be an interesting way to achieve spillover. Say for example that I have 2 presets with the same stereo FX loop and Trails On. I'm playing through preset 1 with the Send engaged to use my delay pedal. When I change to preset 2, the Send is not active but I still get spillover through the Return coming from my external delay. Is that doable?
