Hello,
I tried connecting my Helix Stomp XL to the return of my Marshall Valvestate VS65R during a rehearsal with the idea of using the speaker of the amp to utilize the amp and cab simulations that I have in the snapshots of my Helix. The configuration I used was as follows:
1. A cable from the Helix’s L/Mono Output to the return of the Marshall.
2. In global settings, I selected the output as ‘instrument.’
The problem is that with the volume control of the Helix at maximum, the Marshall sounds too quiet (almost imperceptible). Increasing the volume on the Marshall (neither the overdrive nor the clean channel volume) doesn’t work either.
I also tried increasing the decibels of the output in the signal chain in the helix, but that didn’t work either.
I’ve tried this with two Valvestate amplifiers from the 2000 series, and the same thing happens. So, during the rehearsal, I ended up connecting the Helix to a PA, but I’d like the option to use a cab instead of going directly to the PA. What could be causing this? Would I need to connect the Helix output to a physical preamp and then to the cab?
Thank you very much.
