Thank you very much Rocles! Your preset was a big help and it worked like a charm. Problem solved. Thanks everyone!

I didn't know you could plug an instrument into an FX return. Thanks for the info Kilrahi.

Ah crap, sorry my bad. I should have said Helix LT. It doesn't have an AUX input. I will edit my post. Thanks for the help though ChasingMango.

Hi, I'm teaching my neighbor's kid to play guitar and I wanted her to have some fun playing with the Helix LT. I was wondering if I could use a 1/4" Y-splitter to connect both guitars into the single Helix LT input. Both guitars are passive - a 96 Les Paul Custom and a Gretsch Streamliner centerblock Jr. Will this kind of setup damage the Helix LT in any way? Thanks.

Some old farts like me are stuck in our ways unfortunately :)

Yeah, it would be generally for studio type use. Most tweaks would be lost in a live mix. I really miss my ART 231 EQ which I sold about a year ago along with my other rack stuff when I purchased the Helix. It was a great piece of gear.

I don't see why a 40 band would sound any more digital than the included 10 band EQ. As for tone matched IRs created using software like Ozone etc. they do have a strange artificial, electronic-fizz associated with them that almost sounds like mp3 artifacts to an extent. That's kind of a crappy way to describe it, but its the best I could do. To each their own.

I'm obsessed with tone matching (with the help of spectral comparison) and I like to avoid IRs because they sometimes sound overly digital.

Hello, More than anything, I would love to see a 40 band equalizer. I love to tweak tones to death but I don't like chaining the 10 band EQ with a half dozen or more parametric EQ blocks to get what I am searching for. I'd settle for a 10 band that lets us put our own band values in place (285hz or 9730hz etc....). Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help Phil_m. :)

Hi, I just received my new Helix LT and have immediately upgraded (before test driving it) the firmware and the process was successful. Do I have to restore the backup I made of the original factory presets like it states in the instructions or are the original presets still in "the box" so to speak after the 2.6 upgrade. I did not make any changes to the settings/presets prior to the update. Thanks.
