Sorry for the same question somewhere in the forum. Trying to run my Fender Blues DeVille 410 - Helix LT, I’m having some issues with Tone. Obviously FRFR is the way to go but I can’t make that investment at the moment. I’ll run the Fender in front of the helix * fender input 1 - helix out - guitar in helix (like a standard pedal, did this with the line 6 M13) I notice immediately my clean volume from the fender (bypassing all blocks on helix) is way lower then my amps knobs show, if I try increasing the volume knob on my fender it gives off a loud hissing sound. I’ll increase the volume knob on the helix to find the same volume from my amp but my clean amp tone gets very trebly. That’s issue number 1… so I’ve tried running 4CM & as everyone knows fenders use “power amp in & power amp out” obviously I won’t get that creamy clean the amp produces,{ fender power amp in - helix out ~ fender preamp out - helix return 1 ~ fender input 1 - helix send 1 ~ guitar - helix guitar in.. ( I’ve noticed the 4CM doesn’t accomplish a better result. I’ve used the 4CM template on the helix / I’ve tried creating my own patch with blocks for send, one for return, nothing gets me a good tone. I’ve noticed with loud gain blocks “cali rectifier sim’s / line 6 legacy non sims distortion or any other gain option, I’ll hear the clean amp tone with the overdrive tone, I’ve got to literally crank up the volume knob on the helix to get the distortion to drown out that clean amp tone. Also!!! Sorry there’s more, while using 4CM I’ve noticed fender Power amp in is the only thing sending audio, I’ve tried running it with fender power amp in - helix output ~ guitar - helix guitar in, this option still doesn’t give me the true blues DeVille creamy cleans.. how do I get the fender creamy cleans in this situation to work? Or what’s the best way to utilize my setup so I don’t have to use sims “which break up at loud volumes” just looking for a good tone.. I’m about to sell this helix
