bassguy129 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Quick question - when using the Helix in front of an amp, is it able to have an OD act in the same way as a traditional pedal, boosting the actual amplitude of the signal to hit the front of the amp harder, or is this not possible due to the DA conversion?

jasdadgad Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Very cool article. Any chance of your uploading that Showman Vibrato patch for those of us too lazy to set it up ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
