My motivation is simply to hear the best possible tone out of the Helix, which for many of us, stereo delays/reverbs sound significantly different compared to mono. It's interesting to hear that some people here try to mimic what's coming out the FOH. I've never done so. I try to create the best possible mix in my individual Aviom for myself (guitars louder, etc), and entrust our FOH engineer to mix the best possible sound for the audience. Why do they need to be the same? Go on Youtube and search IEM for some of the biggest bands today (e.g. Muse) and you'll see that their individual IEM mixes sound NOTHING like what's coming out the FOH.

+1 Ideally we'd have our FOH mix our IEMs so we don't have to mix on stage, but many of us don't have that capability. So individually we mix the best we can on stage, and entrust the audio engineer/FOH to mix as best as possible for the audience.

Not sure where this attitude is coming from. We're an extremely cohesive band that have been playing together for years. Nothing about this is taking away from my "efforts" with everyone in the band. This is a Helix forum so clearly we here are interested in our individual instruments and looking for ways to improve.

I am going mono out of the left output into our FOH. The FOH mixer connects to our individual Aviom in-ear monitoring systems via ethernet cable. I am connecting my IEM headphones into the headphone out of the Aviom (to hear the rest of the band). This, of course, eliminates any stereo effect from the Helix. However, I understand that the "phones" output is in stereo. Is it possible to connect the "phones" output and the Aviom headphone output into a small personal mixer such that I will get the FOH mix (in mono) with my guitar output in stereo? If this is possible, will I need a stereo mixer? If so, will I need to buy some type of Y adapter that takes the "phones" output and splits it into left and right inputs into the stereo mixer? Are there any better ways of doing this? Thank you.
