Hi guys,
Have recently started using the Helix LT for my live rig and there is one thing I haven't been able to figure out.
Withmy old setup I had a freeze pedal at the end of my chain so that I could ring out the last chord of a song between guitar change overs etc. The Helix doesn't have a freeze type pedal so was trying to patch in my actual freeze pedal.
I am facing the following problems:
I run a stereo rig, with one head and cab going to left FOH and another going right FOH via XLR.
I use Send 1 in a stereo send block to my onstage power amp for stage sound, I don't use a mono send as this bounces down my stereo path.
If I use Send 2 of the send block block to the freeze and then return into return 1 of a stereo return block this will send the freeze pedal to the left cab only which is ok, but when the freeze pedal is turned off I am sending the dry signal back through the path which messes with the tone / volume.
Using the FX loop would work better but as it's a mono pedal, when it returns I only get signal through one side of the chain.
Any suggestions on how I can patch this in successfully? Hoping a freeze type pedal is incorporated into the Helix soon!
Cheers,
Patrick
