I'll give them a go tomorrow when I'm at the Helix, sure I'll learn a few things from alternative setup options. Up until I'd posted this question I was simply running SY1 into Helix input, which sounds good but the limitation with that series setup is that if you hold a particular chord to play guitar over then your stuck with a dry guitar tone unless you want any OD or Dist totally fuzzing up your nice drone effect at the same time.

Ahh MIDI. Me and MIDI dont get along,fell out with it years ago..lol Should I disregard your earlier post with the two setup suggestions in light of the MIDI limitation you mention? I can get lost in big reverb drone sounds for hours with some nice guitar on top. The Helix is a constant learning curve for me even after 4 years of non stop use. Thanks again mate for taking the time to look into this. Cheers

Wow.. Thankyou so much for taking the time to explain this, very much appreciated. I'll try your suggestions tomorrow when im at my board n amps. I've got a wee fender ab somewhere, just need to dig it out the hoarde of guitar it's n bobs I have. I'll report back tomorrow, but I'm sure your signal flow will work. Thanks again, take care

Hi I've got it setup as below, which seems the logical route( I'm using fx loop 1 of helix already, hence why I'm using fx loop 2 for the below) Gtr - Sy1 input Sy1 output - Helix LT Gtr input Sy1 send - Helix LT return 2 Helix LT send 2 - Sy1 return (to complete loop) Outputting stereo from Helix Lt in two separate amps via 1/4 helix outputs. I'm only using Helix as a pedalboard for this preset and 2 valve amps for my base tone. I just can't get my head around which blocks, ie send and rtn or fx loop 2 block and where to input them in the signal chain. Want full run of effects for dry guitar signal via the Sy1 loop, and Sy1 synth sound going thought some verb and delay. All of which I can blend dry and synth via blend control of SY1 Thanks or taking the time to help buddy, I thought I knew my way around the Helix after all these years but apparently not! Lol

Hi. Long time member but first actual post!! Can't seem to figure out setting up the SY1 into Helix Lt Loop. Want to be able to use SY1 with only added reverb and delay but run the dry signal into the loop so I can add fuzz etc from. The Helix to only the dry guitar tone. So that I can blend in the distorted dry signal into the synth only sound via the blend control on the SY1. Just not sure of the exact cable running order to achieve the above. Basically I want to: 1: run dry signal into dist, mod, dly, reverb etc via loop/s 2:have Sy1 synth sound only run into Helix and only use revb and delay. 3: Be able to blend in effected dry signal from loop into synth sound via Sy1 blend control. So I can hold a synth sound and use my dry signal with whatever effects I choose to play over the synth sound without affecting the synth sound. Thanks
