Dear all,
I use my helix with my metal band. And I like it a lot. I just have a question. When we have gigs, there is often a backline present at the location we play. When this is present I prefer to use the pedals and the pre amp of the helix and switch the speaker off in the preset and send the helix master out (mostly 1/4 jack) to the amp return of the amp that is present at the location.
Is there a lot of difference, to your opinion of the sound, using different amps in this setup? Like using an Engl or Marshall. I know the speakers also make a difference, but it is mostly a hughes or marshall 4x12 cabinet.
If there is no amp present I can also use my own burgera 333xl combo and use 4 cable method and use its pre amp, which also sounds good.
But at a lot of venues we have to use the backline that is present. So therefor my question. Do you have experience with this setup?
Many thanks for your answers, much appreciated.
