A little help please

[MALAPP1]

I am certain this subject has been covered over and overhead again, I just can't find the post. Here is my deal, I have one of the 75 Pete Townshend Stratocasters that shipped yesterday. The guitar is basically an Eric Clapton Strat with Lace Sensor magnetic pickups and a Fishman acoustic bridge pickup. The guitar out is a stereo jack that needs to be split into an acoustic amp and an electric amp.

 

I don't gig anymore and just play and record for my own personal enjoyment. I have concluded that the Helix is probably the way to go with this guitar. Currently, I play my Martin OM-35 through a LR Baggs Venue and then into my Yamaha Sub and then into the Yamaha HS7's.

 

So here is my question, I know that I can plug the guitar into the guitar in and the aux in and use all of the cool Helix patches for what should be an aoutstanding tone, can I still use the Yamaha speakers or do I need to invest into speaker cabinets.

 

Your knowledge and responses are greatly appreceiated.

Yes you can keep your yamaha to do the job, great enough for your cause.

Yeah, the Yamaha HS7 studio monitors should be great with Helix at home. I think a few people here use the HS series.

2-voice guitar is GREAT with Helix and a FIshman-equipped electric.

I  use Return 1, NOT The Aux in. seems to work better, but if your Fishman has a preamp it might be fine through Aux in. NON-preamp equipped piezos do NOT work through Aux in as well as through a Return.

You will get this kind of result.
