Sorry if I didn't specify but my Yamaha is an electric guitar, I'm simply trying to make use of IR to "acoustic-ize" it a little bit in a couple of preset. And I still haven't found satisfaction about it but I surely need to experiment more. Thanks anyway for the advice

Hi Peter, sound very interesting to me what you suggested. I have a JTV89 and a Yamaha RGX721GD, considering I'm playin' them through a Peavy Classic 50 all valve power amp and a Laney 2x12 cab, the acoustic sim from JTV is ok for me (refining sound with EQ and COMP) , but I tried the Yamaha with different IRs and found no way to sound acoustic-like. I will try your signal chain but I'm asking myself why I didn't think that by myself cause it's a very logical path for emulating acoustic sound using IR and an electric guitar :) :) :)

You need to rename the file deleting the ".txt" extension (the .hlx is the real extension you need) and then load into Helix

I own a HD500 and when I found your post i wanted to try to reproduce the same problem to see what would happen. Setted amps as you said and then inserted stomps, I didn't care about order, and had the same "DSP LIMIT REACHED" message while adding the Volume pedal so, apparently, my HD500 has a little bit less CPU power then the new HD500X, this means I will probably not buy the new one and keep my old one.
