Here was me thinking I'd cracked it, but like you say, it is more involved than I originally anticipated. The more external pedals I put in loops, the further my idea gets from my initial aim, which was to simplify things into an all in one system. I think the main stumbling points (in my scenario) are the pitch blocks using so much DSP and a lack of vocal harmony effects. I feel like the other smaller niggles could be worked out.

Thanks for the advice. Looking at inputs - if I use the Helix Floor, I could do the following: Guitar pickup - guitar in Hex guitar pickup - aux in Microphone - XLR in I could then put the Boss VE-5 in send/return 1 and bring it into the chain when needed. I could also put my Digitech Drop pedal in send/return 2, if need be. If I use the Helix LT, I could do the following Guitar pickup - guitar in Hex guitar pickup - return 1 Microphone - return 2 However, this means I would not have the ability to put the Boss VE-5 or Digitech Drop into a loop that can be brought in and out. My chains would then be the following: Signal 1 > Courtesan Flange > Simple Delay > Mandarin Rocker > 10 band EQ > split paths as follows below > 1A > 2x12 Mandarin 30 > 1/4 (right) out to mixing desk > 1B>Volume > 1/4 (left) out to fx return of amp Signal 2A > Dual Pitch > LA Studio Comp > 10 band EQ > Mandarin Bass 200 amp and cab > LA Studio Comp > XLR (right) out to mixing desk Signal 2B > Studio Tube preamp > 10 band EQ > ducked delay > send/return 1 to bring in Boss VE-5 for harmonies > XLR (left) out to mixing desk So it is possible with the Helix Floor.

I checked online and some people advised using Helix Native to check by changing the compatibility settings to Helix LT/Floor. I found that the guitar and bass would be fine, but I started running out of power when I got to the vocal. Maybe I could use my Boss VE-5 in a loop, but that would limit my input and output options. If there's anyone in South Korea willing to let me use their Helix for a couple of hours, let me know. I'll pay you back in coffee, beer, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I don't own any Helix products because I wanted to check whether this was possible before I bought anything. I thought someone here might be able to confirm whether it's possible. Your example gives possibles ins and outs, however you didn't specify which out you would use for the vocal. Also, would it be possible to put a split in the vocal path, insert a harmony and EQ block, then rejoin the original vocal path?

I play in a two piece band with a drummer. My guitar has a hexaphonic pickup in the neck which only picks up the E and A string. This pickup has its own output jack. My guitar bridge pickup is a normal 6 string pickup with its own output jack. I also use a Boss VE-5 to add harmonies when I sing. My idea is to have 4 paths: Path 1 - Bass (runs to mixing desk) This would have an octave, a bass amp and cab, a compressor, and a 10 band eq. Path 2 - Guitar (runs to mixing desk) This would have a guitar amp and cab, an EQ, a delay, and a phaser. Path 3 - Guitar (runs to fx return of a guitar amp) This would have a guitar amp (no cab), an EQ, a delay, and a phaser. Path 4 - Vocals (runs to mixing desk) This would have a harmony, an EQ, and a delay. Would the Helix LT be able to do this? I saw a Scott Uhl video where he showed how to set up four inputs and four outputs. The mic I use would be an SM58 behringer clone. Being able to turn lots of effects on and off with on push of a button would make my life much easier. Here is the Scott Uhl video. He's a clever guy.
