  1. unless they mention it in the description of the preset, there is no way to know.  Just find one that sounds good to you, or put in a stock cab. 

  2. Experimentation is your friend.   I usually do comps first, then dirt pedals, then amp/cab/ir, then delays, mods, reverbs last.  But, you can switch that order around and get some cool effects too.

    I bet the Sound guy at the first venue insisted on it.   Or maybe it is purely there as a prop to make it look like a traditionally mike'd combo.

     

     

    I'd bet on the first one.  lol  There are some sound guys out there who just don't get how going direct works. 

     

  4. I would say that the PC+ is definitely worth it.  I picked one up a few months ago, and it is amazing.  The Flat mode works great for an FRFR solution, and the Speaker Emulations are awesome too.  The ability to load IRs into the PC+ is awesome as well.  

  5. small mixer or interface, run mic into one input and guitar into another. Pan them hard left and right, then run the left and right outputs into the helix as need.   I do that to use a mic with my LT (since it doesn't have a built in mic pre)

     

  6. worship tutorials has a bunch of great sounding presets as well.  They do cater to the worship guitar player crowd (in case the name didn't give that away), but their presets are affordable and pretty well put together, and most of them include IRs as well. 

  7. Well, if you use the Helix as your interface, it is STUPIDLY easy to do what you want, as the #7 output is always a DI track (dry signal), so you don't have to do any sort of signal chain gobbeldy lollipop, and can then use the Helix to reamp that dry signal as much as you want.  

     

    However, since you want to make it more difficult, you'll have to set up two separate signal paths (one with amps/ effects, one totally dry) and then send them to the separate outputs.  Means you can't do stereo effects (or if you do, they'll not be stereo)

    It's personal requirements and personal tastes... it's great to have the options. Know the differences in the products, figure out your "needs", then buy the appropriate model. 

     

     

    My sentiment exactly. I really like performance view on the LT. I owned an HX Effects for a few months prior to upgrading so I do have experience with the scribble strips... IMO, I don't miss them one bit. 

    agreed. I had the HX Effects first as well so can speak to how scribble scripts work...  performance view on LT is better IMO as well.

  9. I've got the LT, and have no problem with it.  I don't care about the scribble scripts, honestly, I kind of like the virtual "scribble scripts" on the LT better than the ones on the full Floor.

    Maybe this should be a sticky . . . 

     

    I think the confusion stems from the fact that the PC never displays the speaker name.  It displays the name of the preset which happens to have the same name as the speakers for the default presets.  When you change the speaker on the Helix, you are changing the currently selected preset, but not its name.

    That actually makes sense.  Explains a lot.  Thanks!

  11. I just got the PC+ myself, and when I started loading IRs into it, I noticed that it didn't want to load a lot of them.  Apparently it is much more picky about what IRs work than the Helix.  See Omni's post above
