I'd actually prefer to see the front panel of the emulated device (which of course would have pots). The current implementation doesn't provide a good overview but it's cheap to realize.

Maybe a bad global EQ setting?

Just put 2 different IRs in parallel behind the amp and panned them left/right. This creates a nice stereo spread as well. Inverting the phase of one side makes it even more intensive but for the sake of losing mono compatibility.

Duncann, thanks for the patch. I like it better than the delay implementation I used before. The technique bjnette described sounds more sophisticated, something to experiment with on a rainy day. Thanks to everyone here for your feedback.

I'm adding the pitch shifter after the amp but before the dual cab combo. It's pretty much the thing that's supposed to generate the stereo before I send it to the delay/reverb effects. So far I've been using the Helix through headphones only. I'm not talking about bouncing around longer delayed signals like 1/8 and 1/4 notes. To give you an example what I'm using so far on the Helix to generate the stereo spread : I put in a dual delay behind the amp, set the left time to 9.5ms, right time 0ms, no feedback left and right, left and right mix both at 50%, 0db level, 422Hz low cut, 4.1kHz high cut, modulation off. This works ok although the effect is not quite as impressive as the pitch shifter in AmpliTube and I was wondering if there's a better way to achieve this effect.

Alright, I thought I'd do it like I used to do in AmpliTube and just add a pitch shifter into the signal chain that's just a few cents off to generate a nice stereo spread but had to learn that this doesn't really sound the same way. I tried various ways to add a stereo spread, the easiest is probably to add a chorus with a very slow rate. However, this still produces too much of the wobbly chorus effect. So I tried the delays to add a few milliseconds delay but it all doesn't create this nice spread that I like using the AmpliTube pitch shifter. What's the best way to add a stereo spread to your sound on the Helix ?

Ok, thanks for the help.

Hey folks, I'm new to the Helix world and need some help getting the signal routing setup. What I want is a stereo signal incl. cab simulation coming out at the XLR outs and at the same time get the same signal without cab simulation coming out of the 1/4" jacks to go to my stage power amp + 4x12 cabinet. I want to be able to control the stage signal volume with the Helix' expression pedal. So far the only thing I found is to use the FX sends. Is there no way to use the 1/4" outputs this way ? If yes, how ?
