Hey, guys
I'm just getting back into guitar after a 5 year break and to celebrate my return I picked up a Helix LT which will be here this week sometime. Before I quit playing, the extent of my effects usage was just plugging a pedal chain into the front input of my amp and calling it good. Now that the LT is on its way, I want to be sure I can run a proper effects loop on my tube amp and not fry any of my electronics. After watching a number of videos on the 4CM setup, I think I have the right idea with the cables and for keeping input/output levels proper for good tone.
I was hoping someone could check my work on this, so I know that I understand what I am doing.
Cables
1. Instrument cable from (output on guitar) to (guitar input on the LT)
2. Instrument cable from (send 1 on LT) to (guitar input of amp)
3. Instrument cable from (effects loop send on amp) to (return 2 on the LT)
4. Instrument cable from (1/4" output on LT) to (effects loop return on amp)
5. Speaker cable from (speaker out on amp) to (speaker cabinet input)
Global Settings on Helix
Output: 1/4" set to line level
Send/Return 1: Set to instrument level
Send/Return 2: Set to line level
Send/Return 3/4 & XLR Output: Irrelevant to current setup.
If you have any input, hot tips, or see any mistakes here please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Feanor
