Dear all, i am using my Helix Line 6 in front of my blackstar HT-Club 40 Mkii. I want a simple set up, with all my presets programmed and ready to go for gigs withouth needing to fiddle! I love the tone of the blackstar preamp which is why i have set it up this way. I have tried teh 4CM (correctly :) ) but the preamp sounds different - i cant seem to get the same tone. I have tried directly into the return of my amp, but again the sound is not quite what i want. So I have stuck with the Helix in front of the amp, and sound wise it does exactly what i need. BUT, i cannot get any of the methods of boosting volume or gain to work for solos. I have tried every method, but only get a boost of probably 1-2 db even when i have it maxed out on +12db. I have tried different positions, different techniqes (e.g. ouput level increase, EQ, gain pedal, clean boost model) but NOTHING seems to work. I have tried a clean boost in the Helix FX loop - still doesnt work as it should. The only way i can get a boost with the helix in front of the amp, is to put an external boost pedal in the amp's effects loop. But then this means tap dancing when i do a solo (to hit my solo snapshot on helix AND the external pedal) which the whole point for me of having a helix was to prevent tap dancing. This has been driving me mad for months. Can anyone please please help? Many thanks Nigel -
Hello, as a Helix newbie (former boss gt-1000), am very pleased with it so far. At the moment I am using it in front of the amp with my blackstar HT-club 40 combo and extension cabinet as i love the preamp sound of the blackstar. i have a few gigs coming up so, planning to use the 4CM once they are out of they way and i have some time so i can keep the BS preamp sound, and benefit from the amp modelling in the helix - whereas at the moment i am really using it as a pedal board. The external amp switch works fine, first time. BUT, when i save all the snapshots (e.g. clean, dirty etc) they initially work fine. However, later at band practice i plug in, the amp switch setting for the snapshot has changed. dirty becomes clean and vice versa - when i assign the footswith (and light) to be on when dirty - it is now the opposite. and i have to go through every preset and re-save. Then, you guessed it, i get home, and the same thing happens only now the channel switch changes again, and lit means the clean rather than dirty channel. Am using a TRS cable and the blackstar has additional reverb and voice settings that can be controlled by TRS but i dont what that just simple channel switch (i.e. ring). This is driving me nuts, if anyone can help or offer a suggestion i would greatly appreciate it all the best Nigel
