Tommy2Gunns Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well, I took the plunge and preordered the Helix!! I was discussing the Helix with a friend right around the time I preordered it and we got onto the topic of the multiple input paths. You can have a guitar in the guitar input and output to the a guitar output. You can have an XLR input for vocals and output to a USB. The next logical question was ... can you mix these signals into one output and send the output to a guitar power amp return? The next question after that would be ... would you really want to? An example of this would be to have a mic for vocals hooked up to the XLR input, a guitar in the guitar input, and maybe even an mp3 player in an auxillary input, mix them all together and output them to the amp return. I realize the guitar power amp is designed for guitars so there is a certain amount of colorization to be expected and you wouldn't want to record anything from it but would the sound be too crappy for just practice?

phil_m Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well, you could sum everything down to one mono output if you wanted to, but like you said, I'm not sure you would want to. If you really have no other choice for practice, sure try it. It may be passable to the extent that at least you can hear vocals. Back in the early days of rock, it wasn't necessarily all that uncommon to run vocals and guitars through the same amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
