I've put it between amp and cab with pretty good results. After the cab it sounds too harsh and before the amp it seems to get jumpy. The cab smooths it out quite a bit.

Are you using a wireless by chance? I have a couple of fuzz pedals that perform like this with a wireless due to impedance issues.

Just for S&G I put an alt code symbol on a scribble strip in HX Edit. I use ALT 241 (which is ±) in my everyday life, so I put that in the "customize" block for that switch. What I got in return was a bold "B1" on the scribble strip, the same font and size like you would see on the patch selection strip. Just wondering if anyone else has played with these and if they've found anything useful.

I do the same. It's a free range wah.

I've found it useful to turn the mix level on these down to around 60-65%, especially when used on more distorted tones. On cleaner tones you can get away with higher mixes. For a nice "clavinet" tone with cleaner and compressed tones, set the mixes closer to 40%.

I tried a few of the free IRs out there from "premium" IR dealers, like Ownhammer. Meh they didn't do much for me, I felt as though I could dial in the stock cabs just as well. Then I tried the Red Wire IR's, and those spoke to me. Almost literally. So far the one's I've tried are better than the stock cabs. Especially the Marshall cabs. Closest I've come to an "amp in the room" sound and feel. Your mileage may vary.

I did find this on another thread here. From Line6 Support: This is normal behavior. When the Volume knob is disconnected from controlling the XLR outputs, they begin to act as if the volume knob is turned up all the way, which results in about +12db mic level. Sounds about right. I suppose it's not too big of a deal to put all the output blocks on my patches at a -12db level.
-
I've searched around on this issue, I've found others that say the XLR out is too hot as well. Haven't tried it on another mixer yet, I will next weekend. It could be how my mixer itself works, and maybe it's fine on other mixers.
-
You're correct. I've downloaded many out of curiosities, to see how people route their blocks, etc. Zero have been useful to me outside of "oh, that's a curious way to do things....now I'll set up my own patch using this knowledge..."
-
I have it set so the volume knob does not affect the XLR out. Volume knob only affects 1/4" output. XLR outs are set to "mic" level in options. I am going straight into a Spirit M12 board, phantom power off of course. PFL'ing the channel, with that channels gain set to minimum, I get -6db to -3db on the board using my patches. Factory patches and frankly a lot of downloaded patches are unusable as they are without some volume modifications.
-
Pardon the potential naivety of my question, but if we are using models or profiles of these real life speakers, why do we have to put on high cuts at all? Shouldn't these hi cuts be baked in to the speaker/cab model? If we are getting frequencies above the speakers real-life range, aren't those frequencies, for lack of a better term, "made up"?
-
Starting with the obvious; Do you have the XLR output set at mic or line? Is your signal too hot? I've tested with my own mixer, and with the mixer channel gain at lowest setting, on a factory Helix patch with XLR output at 'mic', it still overloads. I have my own patches volumes lowered quite a bit when compared to factory patches. Beyond that, do you put a hi cut on your cabs? First thing I do is always slap a 9-10k hi cut on whatever cabs I'm using. This seems to tame the fizziness on my end.
-
I tend to use it with the volume close to full, the gain around 20%, the tone about halfway, maybe a tick towards treble. I used a real one into a Marshall that way for years.
