The way to vote is through Ideascale as noted above. Did you vote there? Your ‘vote’ here is no vote at all.

It’s been a while since you used it. Are you 100% certain that you are connecting the rack and the floorboard properly?

Since you’re new at this and don’t need more inputs I would say stick with what you’ve got until you gain more experience. You’re ’pretty impressed’ with the sound you’re getting right now, and that’s good. Down the road you might find that upgrading your audio interface would be useful, but you might also find that spending the money on something else would be better.

I am trying to register for your service at Helixlib.com. The procedure is breaking down for me at the point that you attempt to send me a confirmation email with further instructions. I have triple-checked that the email address I provided is accurate. I am not receiving your email although on your end you are waiting for my response to it. I have checked my spam folder. Are you aware of any current problem with your registration system? EDIT: OK, I just noticed on your website blog that you are aware of and are working on this issue. Looking forward to trying this out!

Legacy FX are not described with the exception of the odd one for a specific purpose. Amp and Cab blocks are not described. The updates are free, I won't include any examples here. It's up to the author to do that if he wishes. He visits this thread and may or may not provide examples. Have you wathced the advertising video posted at the top of this thread? It may contain some examples.

All snapshots share the single configuration of the preset. With Snapshots you can manage the FX on/off state as well as many parameters, but Snapshots do not allow you to change the preset configuration. As soon as you add a lock to the preset that block is available in all Snapshots. I described a setup above that will work for both your amp and/or FRFR connections. Just adjust your cabling to suit the physical setup you want (e.g. XLR outputs to your FRFR speakers).

@spaceatl has suggested something that will work, as far as we understand your setup. Another option is to consider using parallel paths in Path 1. Split the path after all FX blocks that you want to go to your amp. In the lower path (1B) add an amp and cab as you suggested. That’s all that should be in Path 1B unless you want something in FOH that you don’t want in your amp. Set Path 1A output to 1/4” using amp output level and route that back to your amp FX Return. Set Path 1B to XLR using whatever level is appropriate for FOH and feed it/them to FOH.

He says he’s not using 4CM. The Helix LT is in the FX Loop of his amp.

Helix (or Helix Native) doesn’t affect the Variax guitar processing at all. All the processing of the guitar signal itself is still done within the Variax guitar. Helix can help you manage the Variax settings and ensure consistency of Variax setup for each Helix preset.

Good questions. Since you are new to the forum allow me to make a suggestion. Rather than extending an existing thread to ask new questions it’s better to start a new thread for each question. That way you will get more clear and focused replies, making it easier for people to see the new questions and reply. Notice that the title of this thread has nothing to do with your new questions. People who look at threads based on their title won’t see your new questions, or won’t be interested in responding. You have at least two new questions here. Start two new threads and choose meaningful titles.

A clip tuner won't pick up nearby audio. It works by vibration of the headstock. I've frequently seen one used in a live setting by a guitar player tuning mid-song while the band carries on.

Thanks for the link. Hope you get some participation here.

Thanks for the update. Glad you sorted it out.

That stare you get after your third gummie.... when your drool paints a texture on your shoe.

Glad you got it sorted out. Just going back to the ‘Trails off’ situation…… As I mentioned you will hear the FX trails if you have it set to Trails On. The amount of trail you hear is defined by the FX settings. For instance if I want to hear more trails on a delay FX I would increase the FX Feedback or Mix parameters, not the Level parameter. Note that this adjustment would apply to the FX as long as it is turned on, not just when you turn it off. In other words you will hear the increased delay FX all the time, not just when it’s trailing.

The harmonizer generally works reasonably well for single notes but not for chords. It’s a mono- rather than poly - phonic FX. Works best for lead solos rather than rhythm. Does it work acceptably well for your solos?

I think you ended up being an innocent target of some frustration that was misdirected. You’re a first time poster here and I’m sorry that this was your first experience. Somehow we were triggered and fired off. We do try to be helpful. Please continue to post questions as they come up.

Just to make sure.... you need to press and turn the knob to assign it to the Snapshot controller.

You should be able to assign both the delay time and mix to the Snapshot controller. It sounds like the mix parameter has not been assigned. Does it also have the white brackets around it? It should. If you truly can’t assign it to the Snapshot controller that may mean that you have already reached the maximum number of parameters that can be assigned to Snapshots within a preset. That number is 64 and I’ve never seen it reached. The Trails On/Off parameter is a fixed switch. The trails are either on or off at any time. The term ‘Trails off’ does not mean there is an adjustable time parameter during which the sound ‘trails off’. It means that the entire Delay sound, as configured, is allowed to continue rather than be abruptly cut off.

Yes. In addition to importing the IR you need to activate the IR block in the preset and select the imported IR slot/location.

Yes it covers v3.1, including the new amp and FX in that release. There's also a promise of free doc updates as the firmware is updated.

Personally, I would spend my $$ on a better quality microphone than a mic preamp. It's not even clear that the MOTU is a better preamp than the HD500X.

The only one I'm aware of is very recent, and while not free I think it's very good value. It's discussed here:

Sorry - I misinterpreted and didn’t notice you were replying to someone else. I thought the question was odd coming from you, being an experienced member here. I should have looked more closely. Again, apologies.

Your choice. See Global Settings -> Ins/Outs
