Hello. I do a lot of cover-gigs using the helix for my guitar, but usually I cannot hear myself singing. This is a constant point of frustration for me because it really limits my ability to sing the way I'd like to. I'd love to get in-ears, but given the nature of these gigs, I don't think I can swing it. I was wondering if I could use the Helix to accomplish the same thing without mucking up the front-of-house mix by plugging the mic directly into the Helix and then running the front-of-house cable into one of the XLR outs. My thinking was that I'd run the signal unaltered to the house mix, but also run it with some processing to headphones along with my guitar. This set up wouldn't manage to include the rest of the band, but I think I can probably experiment with the volume settings until I find a setting that (A) allows me to hear the band and (B) gives me more vocal feedback so that I can actually... sing. Would that work?

I keep most of the variax cable wrapped even when I'm using it, because 25' is just so much longer than I have any use for. I was wondering if any shorter cables are available.

The Helix and the Variax are a powerful combination. I know I can change the tuning of each individual string and volume of each string for each preset. I'd like to add a bass octave to the E string, but *only* the E string. In theory I'd like to take the bottom track and use it exclusively for modeling the lowest string to add a bass effect and then the top track for everything else. However, it doesn't seem that this is possible. I was wondering if any of you knew how I could maybe achieve that?

Hello everyone. I know that the Helix and the Variax have a good deal of integration, and that Helix presets can be used to dictate certain things for the Variax like the tuning, volume of each string, knob controls, et cetera. However, I was wondering if there is any capability of going in the reverse? For instance, what I'd like to be able to do is switch Variax presets by switching guitar model or moving my pickup switch. However I am not sure if that's possible.
