Thank you

As a bedroom only player, I would say either get a set of near-field (studio) Monitors, or get a second PC112+ or (what I just did) trade the PC112+ for a PC212+ - the stereo is AWESOME!

 

PA speakers are designed to fill a large room. IOW, to project the sound out into an audience. The separate hi/lo drivers require a certain distance to properly coalesce.

The PC series is designed to better produce the "AITR" (amp in the room) effect, and the coaxial speakers combine the hi/lo frequencies without needing the distance to coalesce.

IOW, they'll sound better in your room.

 

When you're ready to join a band, they'll (PC series) work fine (unlike Studio Monitors) in a rehearsal space or small venue, and the XLR Out allows you to take a UNITY output to FOH - the PC's Volume knob doesn't affect that signal, so you have full control over your stage level w/o causing a headache for FOH.

 

As for w/d/w, I think it's over-rated. It might sound GREAT in your basement, but it's not worth the effort/expense in a live band setting. Much like wide-spread stereo (dual cabs), it sounds good by itself, but not so much with a band. The PC212+, OTOH, can sound HUGE in a small space (startlingly good separation), and with a band will just sound like a great amp with lots of movement in the sound. Not to mention the logistics of transporting, setup and teardown of a w/d/w or dual cab + amp rig.

 

FWIW - I live in an apartment. I have a FRFR112 that I got before I got the PC112+. I MUCH preferred the PC112+, and LOVE my PC212+, which sounds GREAT even at apartment level (60-75db).

 Thank you for the info much appreciated. But the PC212 is stereo in one cabinet how does that work for separation ? 
or it does  not exactly work like HiFI audio  where 2 monitors properly separated yield the best results ? 
thank you for the clarification

Hello All, I'm thinking of maybe selling my Powercab Plus  and going with 2 FRFR Cabs for stereo and or possibly wet/dry setup with my Helix, I am  bedroom player, I dont play in a band (yet), I dont play really loud either, I do Record as well, So was wondering if the Yamaha is actually suited and voiced for FRFR guitar only setup, or is the Headrush FRFR-108 better voiced, as i did notice really big price difference and was wondering as to why ? also was wondering if the fidelity of modelling is superior on the Yamaha ?
 

Any advice or Input is much appreciated  thank you all in advance 

Hello all, just looking for info and clarification on this type of setup

Is there an advantage to setting up a rig of this type which would of course require getting another Powercab 

but from what I’ve read most use à Wet/dry/wet setup which requires 3 FRFR, which would not be ideal for my area and my budget 

so would there be an advantage to using a 2 Powercab system in a Dry/ Wet setup ?
 

thank you  all for your input

Hello all, was wondering if anyone has a patch for Vivian's tone on  Holy Diver Album ? 

Thanks all for Input and suggestions 

Jonny Lee Sure gets great tone from the Diezel

This is like the warnings that come with prescription drugs... you might experience constant bleeding from both eyes and demonic possession.

Hahaha Yes true, but was still wondering in what Situation this may apply, like certain patch arrangements? or a combination of effects?  etc   

So Tony has stated ....The Helix 3.01 update addresses potential severely corrupted audio output. Due to this, we recommend updating your Helix family device as soon as possible.

In Which situations  Would this Cause  Corrupted audio ? 
 

I have not noticed anything 

Thanks All

Helix 3.0 Owner’s Manual - Rev E - English 
Page 8 
 

Expression Pedal Move the expression pedal to control volume, wah, or a combination of amp and/or effects parameters. Activate the hidden toe switch to toggle between EXP 1 and EXP 2. (The scribble strip above tells you which one is active.) If an external pedal is connected to the rear panel EXP 2 jack, the built-in pedal becomes EXP 1 only.—see “Controller Assign” (Page 53j etc. 
 

plus page 66 re EXP 1, 2 and 3 position

 

Determines whether the Helix expression pedal positions are recalled per snapshot, per preset, or applied globally. If you want a Volume Pedal or Wah to maintain its position when switching presets, set this to “Global.”

Could be worth browsing through.

 

Or, reset your Globals from the backup file you made with HX Edit.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yes Thanks Datacommando, will try that  out for sure 

Hello All So another Noob Question

As i assign a Wah to first Block then I use My pedal to Control the Wah Nothing happens

My setting is  EXP1 which is somewhat greyed out and when i use the EXP pedal it shows % value instead of showing EXP1 greyed out 

Now i tried Assigning the wah to separate PEdal and still nothing is there a setting In global that needs to be activated ? 
i read about that if you press hard on the toe it switches something ive tried pressing really hard and nothing happens

thanks all for any help or guidance 

Hello All ,So I Was wondering If the Poly Detune is also DSP Intensive  ? 
and also what happens when you run out of DSP ?  Do the Effects that you want to use simple become greyed out ? indicating you can't use that effect in your current chain due to DSP Limit achieved ? 
thanks  for the clarification
