Ive had my helix floor for 18 months, couldn’t find the time to learn how to use it, I finally found some time and finally starting to find some good tones with it, I now use it with the Blackstar Amped 1 pedal board amp, I mainly want a classic rock type tone and have decided on the Plexi Jumped amp, I go into a 1x12 fitted with a Celestion 70/80 (had a Vintage 30 but was too shrill with my LP Junior with P90), the amped 1 voice is set to flat and I’m using the power stage set to EL34’s, now my question, would it be better to use the Plexi Jumped preamp module rather than the amp, if so, I assume I just run the return of the amps effects loop to the 1/4 inch out, any advice would be helpful, I tried the preamp but it was a lot quieter and had a lot less gain, also I plan to setup the 4 Cable Method as I want my mod effects in the loop Thanks for any advice

My blackstar stock channel switching pedal is not working while using hx effects. I cannot switch to channel two. It's as if channel two is bypassed. The pedal turns red as does the channel two light but channel two seems to be disabled. If I plug my guitar directly into my amp and disconnect the hx effects entirely channel two works again, but once I reconnect the hx effects the stock pedal can only be used to turn on and off reverb and channel switching is disabled. I'm currently using the 4 cable method.

Ok - I just got my HD500x and when plugged into Logic Pro X it's freaking fantastic - within an hour of receiving it I had some awesome tones dialed-in! My questions are related to connecting the 500X to my Blackstar Venue Series amp via the 4 cable method and using the HD500x as a stomp-box board for mostly modulation and delay - no amp models (all the gain coming from my amp). So far I have these 3 questions/observations: Since I'm using it for effects and not amp models, do I need to add any type of amp, pre-amp or other component in the patch? When it's connected, but nothing enabled in my patch, my amp sounds very thin and weak on either of the gain channels. I made a patch with just a noise-gate, fx-loop, digitial delay & tri-chorus. There is no audible difference with the delay before the loop or after, so I must be doing something wrong... I have the output set to Combo Front. Please note - I've been using a M13 in the 4 cable method for 2 years, so I have an understanding of how the setup works. Any input from someone who has actually run their rig like this would be very much appreciated!!
