phil_brannigan Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 On the first model of Variax, I think there was a foot pedal that allowed you to switch between your guitar amp and whatever was going to be amplifying your acoustic sounds. In a Variax+Helix set-up with the Helix outputs being sent to a PA rather than a guitar amp, is it feasible/desirable to have your Variax acoustic sounds being handled by the Helix, possibly with reverbs, delays, choruses etc. added? I guess to simplify the question, what would an acoustic/electric sound like played through a Helix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes to the more complicated question - in the same way that a Variax + HD500 set-up can route Acoustic models through effects and out to PA while Electric models can be routed to a Guitar Amp by using Left and Right outputs and panning; except that from what I have seen panning is not needed on Helix because the FX Loop Outs can be defined as outputs so you can have stereo to both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_brannigan Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks very much. I'm looking at the electric rig and acoustic rig I currently take to gigs, and imagining replacing it all with a Variax and Helix. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
