kreator1972 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I connected my bass on the Helix for the first time yesterday, the bass is a yamaha RBX800A, it is a bass with active pickups so I connected it to the Aux port(like the manual says), all the default bass presets seem to miss some punch and volume, I had the crank to volume a lot more than with my guitars, anyone else tested a active bass on the helix and got the same results ? Or maybe you got good presets to share, I am looking for the Flea tone and also geddy lee's tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippyjun Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 How does it sound plugged into the regular guitar input jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikisb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 hmmm - my active Ibanez works good on the guitar input. I even did'nt have to engage the input pad but i guess that the Ibanez electronics don't boost much, it's more a kind of active tone control. I have no idea why the aux input should be better?

klangmaler Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The AUX input has 10MΩ . Anyway, I got better results (with all my active instruments) using the adjusted regular guitar input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
