dvdthw Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Random question, if I have two amps each in their own paths switching one off and one on with a footswitch, won't the signal continue through the path with the amp off regardless? I'm just wondering cause I've seen many people do this for dual amp patches, instead of setting up a true A/B, which is how I do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagmusenmagnus1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes. Unless you use a vol-block to cut the volume or it might be a controller assign, that just turns one amp's Ch. vol down and the other one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezza Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 On the HD500 you had a bypass volume when the amp was turned off. This could be set to zero. I'm not sure if Helix does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you can set the footswitch for switching to do a number of things including the volume control tip mentioned above... or perhaps change the output of the actual amp from full to zero and vice versa on the other amp.
