Hi Everyone,Can you answer me a simple question please as this is driving me nuts. Im going from Line out on the helix (L&R) into ZEDR16 A&H Firewire Desk (2 channels Panned l&r) which then goes straight to pc.(FLAT eq on the desk) (Globals set to Multi Out). I'm finding that every amp seems to sound the same and to me the sound is quite flat. I have tried usb but this only works for me when going straight into DAW for recording as signal better not for when playing along with backing tracks from the pc. Are there any settings that Im missing here?,Im using patches that I've purchased from well known and good guys. I Have tried with all my guitars but everything sounds samey. I know us guitarists are extremely fussy when it comes to sound so hopefully you'll take compassion on me ;-)

Thanks a lot for that.

Any idea if and how I can use this without a Variax? Many Thanks.

Thanks a lot Fremen,bought this pack last week and cant stop playing the Helix with your setlists/Ir's so so good and covers every style 2.

omg I cant believe it was that easy,I think my heads fried after reading the manual! Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi everyone.I am using a A&H firewire mixer and I wish to be able to control my helix seperately from other media in my PC. 0) When i switch the helix on everything that I play on my pc(backing tracks/you/tube etc etc) comes back through my channel on mixer assigned for helix.I totally understand the logic that the helix is acting as a soundcard etc. I have playback for all other stuff on PC(Sonar included)coming through and back through different channels. My question is can I just have the helix coming through 2 channels and not taking over the pc sounds also? Many Thanks

Thanks a lot Peter much appreciated.

Tbh no I havent .My Helix is arriving tommorow and thats something i'll definately look into.Thanks for that ,better get back to the manual.

What do you guys suggest for home studio work? I use a Allen and Heath ZED R16 firewire desk into my DAW.Shall I go out from Helix to desk using XLR's or Jacks.(Someone told me the xlrs will give me more output)? Any ideas? Thanks all.

What an awesome sound,great playing 2.

Thanks everyone,Been loving the sound of some of his patches/IR's and I've got very simiilar guitars so hopefully not to much tweaking involved. :)

Any of you guys used Marcos patches?Sound awesome to me. http://www.marcofanton.it/MFP/Helix_Patches.html
