No Joke- I need MORE lightning bolt instant action icons in the Control Center.

Actually no, $40.00 US is a bit expensive for me. So if I buy 2 @ $80.00 and the 3rd is $20.00, that equals a hundred bucks. Hit me up at the Christmas half-price deals, and I might then. ; )

Power/volume wise you are correct, but if "stage dynamics" is used properly (in most cases and depending on room acoustics) by all the band members this wouldn't need discussion. I have played with a few excellent people in the past who knew how to do this well, and it makes for a fun time on stage (because everyone can hear everyone), while the FoH does its job for the crowd.

What kind of worship music do you play? I mean is the music mostly clean, or is it distorted, metal, grunge, etc etc? That would help a lot in deciding if you needed a Fender Dlx or a Marshall stack...

I wish you would say the same for the pricing as well ; )

Good, glad it's working now Maestro77. Could you change/add to the topic "Solved" now? Thanks.

HA, you just haven't heard the spiffy playing that Silver and I can do!!! ; )

I ran my DSL-100H into Helix using the 4CM, and also fed 3 Strymon pedals (BigSky, Mobius and TimeLine) for FX to color the DSL where needed, turning each of them "separately" on and off via the Control Centers midi setup for each Snap-Shot. Sending the DSL's speaker out to a "Captor" load box I could line out into a daw and use any IR or the built-in speakers in Helix, or the cab simulator in the Captor, or send the output to a 1960a. Now understand, that was all in just ONE patch. I could always just go to another patch and use and modeled amp into FRFR as desired. And when 2.8 update hits, I'll also be controlling 2 PowerCabs via L6-Link. So yea, Helix will be the center of your Studio should you decide to go that route.

Old school I guess, but I've seen lots of bands that still use monitors in front of them (or behind). Mixed right its a tried and true method that works well. And, As a guitar player i "want" to hear a little of what the FoH is getting.

Is there a way to have the Instant action (lightning bolts) inside the Command center to do a "double duty"? I'm needing more of these little jewels, as the Mobius, Timeline, and BigSky are using all of them currently (for CC and Program change per midi channel each), and I need some space for the 2 PC+'s cabs. Id like to be able to change the cabs on both PC+'s AND the settings on the 3 Strymon pedals per snapshot, and I've run out of "midi-room" on the lightning bolts. I have a workaround by using a Damage Control DMC-6 gen3 for the midi on the cabs, but Id rather be using Helix for all of this. Or do I just have to wait for 2.8 for all this to work? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that one!!!

So, all the sound is not coming from just Helix? There's different guitars and fingers involved too? So I guess Helix cant do Andy Summers after all then... Who woulda figured... ; )

Last time I saw him he was playing a song next to Sting, without an amp... The tone was great as usual.... ; )

Mine clicks when coming on and when going off. Sounds like there are relays involved, I wouldn't worry about it.

boar, most local shops here that knew me would let me try "before" you buy. If that's so in your neck of the woods take one of your choice home for a night and test it. Take the next one home and compare notes. Another choice is to order both and use the 45-day return policy on the one you like the least.

LOL Cru I'm the same way. Played for 45+ years and I still hate playing acoustics. Love their sound, but hate to play them.

I'm Just going by what DI suggested to use as mentioned in the 2.8 update. Since I'm sure he has talked more to the actual Engineers involved (makers of the units) and I have not, I will capitulate. ; )

Grats and welcome!

Agreed, and that suggestion also saves the wear and tear on the Helix floor unit.

You should watch "the Jerk" sometime, its a CLASSIC Steve Martin... Worth the time.

I love Ice Cream, but I can get my own bowl full thank you very much! I'm told that bowls of all sizes available at TGP...

And now a word from our sponsor... Any future changes, updates, additions (or cancelations due to end of the world plagues) will be made available on TGP! ; )

Could be Craig, but they mention Impedance and not capacitance? Weird lol. Like Steve Martin said in "The Jerk", "its a profit deal!"...

Agreed. I've had worse scratches on my eyeball. ; )

Depends on the type of communications, doesn't it? I mean a quarter wave dipole can be tuned to a low SWR and at max power, in a relatively short distance, depending on its frequency transmitted. It just loses its bandwidth versus a 1/2 wave or larger. But don't try running much wattage on 10 feet of wire (even though it's short) that has high reflection (standing waves) ; ). And everything does have a minimum and maximum distance signal wise, even fiber. Another example- Cat 5 max distance before going wonky is 328 feet IIRC. In this case, I'm thinking it has more to do with fewer data errors at the right impedance at proper distance. And I also think that the price above I listed at eBay is not bad for that kind of cable.
