Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum but have been considering purchasing a Helix for a while. A big dilemma is whether to go for the LT or the full blown Helix. In terms of uses, I'm primarily a below average guitar player who plays more for the joy and fun. I have never played through a tube amp before. The amp that I now use is a Katana 100 which is quite nice and I enjoy playing with it. I don't have any pedals and would like to experiment having some additional pedals and effects. After watching a number of videos I find the helix to be intriguing given the various possibilities to work with the tone. I enjoy working with modeling devices in general and as I said before I'm not particularly attached a specific tones of tube amps/particular artistes.
I have started doing some small shows with our band (again we are no where close to being at a professional level) and I was thinking a product like the Helix (or something with less firepower but which achieves the same objective) would be useful. I also sing a bit and typically would like to hook up an acoustic guitar as well. Given this I guess my big question is whether it is worth investing in a Helix at all in the first place. If yes, would the LT actually be sufficient? The reason I ask is the following
From the videos online, I noted that to get the four cable method going, I would need to use one of the Send/Return FX loops in the LT. If I were to plug in my acoustic guitar and also use an external mic preamp (which I can then send in through the second FX Send/Return loop). Given this, can I still have my acoustic hooked up to the Helix?
Second, from one of the videos posted online on youtube:
I can see that we could set up a wet/dry/wet signal. However, the video uses the Helix floor. I was wondering if this set up is even possible with LT?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!!
