Thanks for sharing, perfect morning coffee video. Pets's awesome!

I love this delay, typically running the headroom at 0 to 2.0....what are you guys doing? Also running the bit depth at 16, any thought here? Thx for your input.

I like the HPU factor, no squirles for me. Year ago Oct as well.... Nothin but honey for me. I get their are bugs here and there, saw my buddy's kemp sound a little buzzed before. Restart and all the stars were back in order. Playing with him on the 18th, I can tell you my Helix sounds killer and stands side by side with this pro player. H factor is just awesome! Qq

Totally agree!

I have posted my IEM solution on a few threads here, search me out. I will repost a screenshot later today. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t117/formula_bucket/Helix/SS%20Plus%201.jpg

FWIW, my Helix was delivered in the first batch out of the gate and periodically makes internal clicking noises. I also assumed this was some relay of sorts. No harm no foul in my case. It would be interesting to know if there is absolutely no mechanical relays. Also, I have never had any issues with my unit including the vol blocks others are talking about. I do use the built in pedal for vol only in front of my chain and 2 boss pedals in exp 2 and 3 for time based and dirt pedals/ amp vol, gain and other related controls. New and old patches, no issues.

Same for me, eq helix channel flat. I use xlr out with output set to mic and it plays nice with our system. I do create my patches using a matrix FR10. Sounds great in my IEM's, but thin in my Sony cans. Headphones can be canny!

Absolutely, my Helix is a preorder from day one. Remember that...Never had an update issue, latest update and additions are stellar. Take a listen to Marco or Ola or BrockD. Read up on Wes or Phil or Chusky's posts and check their vids. So many more! Literally every genre represented, all with pro sound and chops. Sky's the limit, Ben proved it with the Lit. Welcome to Hotel California :)

The Aviom is a return from FOH for stage mix. If you use Helix as your personal monitor mix your guitar is stereo in ear. Sounds awesome and just tighter better feel all around for me. You do need to remember to turn off your channel feed from the Aviom. The best solution would still be to have the option to route effects returns to whatever output suits your needs IMO.

I use Snag-It by tech smith. Free fully op 30 day trial from their website. Love to catch one of your shows if your in AZ.

Sir, you nailed it, thank you for the SS+1 solution. The Aux in did not work as it was outputting my guitar input and aux at the same time. When I placed the effects block as shown below my quick at home test worked perfectly. Better chance to test tonight with different amps but the result is full dsp power with all blocks available... Gotta love Helix right! Week off from shows, what part of the country are you located/touring?

Thanks for your posts and vids, I pick up a tip EverytimE !

No because that would send stage mix back to FOH through my helix xlr feed.

Thanks for this link, on iPad now so will download it tomorrow and give it a try. The output is the key to not send the aviom band mix back to FOH along with my guitar signal from helix xlr. Note I'm using summed mono left xlr for FOH. I turn my stage mix channel off and monitor through helix headphone jack so my guitar is stereo in my mix. My route 2 is only active with the loop and set to 1/4 out so stage mix is only in my ears. The other effects on that path are just parked there while I find a solution. I appreciate your posting a possible alternative routing option.

This is my work around for now, I don't have enough dsp to add an additional loop to try the above....

I agree, kind of the same thing I am suggesting here. http://line6.com/support/topic/14497-helix-ideascale-community-submissions/page-12?do=findComment&comment=184519

Phil, It would be helpful for personal stereo monitoring in a silent stage application. It sounds tighter and you play better IMHO. It could be accomplished in an effects loop state or the aux in like the Kemper description below. I think the effects loop might be better as I would bet there are many folks utilizing both the guitar in and aux in for a 2nd instrument. I have a super serial patch to accomplish this now but then you can run out of dsp pretty quickly with the blocks I'm using. I was able to add the vintage delay once I removed the preamp and switched the 2204 Mod to the Litigator. You can see them parked on 2A along with an EQ and LA Comp that I can't use with this setup due to the DSP limitation. Since I am not using the 1/4 outs it mutes the signal to FOH. From the Kemper Manual- The Auxiliary Input function allows you to feed a stereo signal, such as a mp3-player, into your Profiler to play along with it. In the Output/Master menu, the Auxiliary Input function is equipped with three controls: one to feed the aux signal to the main outputs as well as S/PDIF OUT, and two others to feed it to the Monitor and Headphone output. This allows you, for instance, to add an additional monitor signal to your headphone output, while the main output stays unaffected. The auxiliary signal will not be affected by any internal effects.

Effects Send Return Output Option http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Effects-Send-Return-Output-Option/860457-23508 Allow for the option to set effects loop output to an off state for 1/4" or XLR or both helix main outs. This would offer a variety of Helix personal monitoring options when using Aviom or similar on stage monitoring system. Please vote this up for those of us on a quiet stage. This setting would allow for stereo personal monitoring via Helix headphone output while the block input is fed from the onstage mixer. The muted output would not send the full band mix back to front of house via Helix. This could also be accomplished if the Aux input on the Helix had an output routing option which likely might be an easier implementation.

You need to go into your global settings/preferences and set it appropriarly.

Wanted to share a quick story on today's gig. L6 customer service recommended this approach in response to my IEM Aviom monitoring question I had posted. Tweaked my main patch I was using to work with ss template (10 minutes) and boom! Stereo personal monitoring with aviom mix into effects returns, great for P&W or any one else with a quiet stage requirement. FOH only gets me, don' forget to mute your channel from the aviom feed. The other guitarist toaster and my helix sounded amazing together. The FOH mix was identical for both rigs, flat EQ and input gain. The other guy is a professional and he was totally impressed. Thanks DI, Frank, Ben and all those that we don't know by name responsible for this great piece of gear. His name is digital igloo right...!

Dang, thought I was special,..lol. Just the fact that U answered me directly awesome! Now, I really need that aviom routing for this weekend! Pleeeeezee!

I agree I should have put it there a few months ago. I even called L6 about it and had a great conversation about the serial approach. The Kemper boys got this feature in September 4.2.012 release: separate controls for Aux In into headphone output, monitor output, and main out. This makes complete sense and I think we will see it in Helix very soon. ;) I quietly spoke about programming my boss exp pedals backwards and then boom! I think DI added the inversion feature just for me :D

ummm, bump from another post....just say'n...add the option to assign the aux in or effects loop output to headphones monitor out only. This would allow for personal monitoring without sending aviom mix back to house from helix. Why?....It would give allow a guitar mix in stereo for a fuller overall mix. Super serial can accomplish this but I'm a little lite on DSP with my ambient blocks and Ir's. :)

Thanks, will give it a try in a few. Appreciate the slow hand tip as well!

"Very cool, thanks! I just use Youtube right now for breaking down fast licks which allows me to slow down to as much as 25% tempo without pitch change but this is a very flexible app. I could see that looping function being really convenient and I like the way you integrated it into the Helix." You tube to slow tempo without pitch change? Please tell me more, I do not see where I can do this. Thanks!
