Hi guys.
I’m tearing my hair out here so if anyone can help I’d be most appreciative.
Ok so... I’m a newbie to helix having only used it as a glorified stomp box up to this point.
For my show work I want to have two instruments going into the helix LT.
1) my electric bass into the guitar input
2) my upright bass into another input (fx return?)
I want to be able to a/b switch between these whilst keeping the same set of stomps / same pre amp etc available. Just muting the other input when I switch.
So... for example. Let’s say -
I have a pitch shifter
Distortion
Flanger for example.
How do I set a foot switch to mute the electric bass and switch to the upright whilst keeping my other stomp settings as is ie.. if I have the pitch shifter active at +2 I want it to stay like that and just mute the electric whilst activating the upright input. Then when I’m done and want to switch back I just tap the same foot switch.
Is this something Helix can do? If so, can anyone tell me how?
Or should I just buy a Boss A/B switch and go from that into the Helix to save the headache?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being rubbish at this stuff!!
