ColonelForbin Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Ok, I have an idea I want to try, not sure what the limits I will hit, but here goes! I have four different distortion pedals that I want to compare; and was thinking of running each pedal into it's own fx loop in Helix, or at least, as many as I can also process through separate paths with amp/cab models, and send to different and or panned left right USB outs for recording. (IE, pan path 1 left send to USB1/2, pan path 2 right, send to USB 1/2...record path 1 as mono track USB1, path 2 mono USB 2).. I've done something similar sending an XLR of amp only from a powerstation into Helix, and through four different IR's. Is it even remotely possible to build a preset with four paths + four amp models? All set to guitar as the input, and through four instances of fx loops -> amp/cab and/or amp+ir, then send each to it's own recording track? No other fx blocks would be needed; just the fx loop sends returns and as many instances of the same amp/cab model for each. (For what it's worth, I'm comparing a Fulltone OCD, Friedman BE-OD, JHS @, and Bogner Burnley...) Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just tried it an it works fine in Sonar. 4 paths all set to multi, FX Loops 1-4 (one on each), same amp on all 4, same IR on all 4 (but have to use 1024 samples), USB 1/2 pan L, USB 1/2 Pan R, USB 3/4 Pan L, USB 3/4 Pan R. Not even sure that you have to pan the USB's, but I did it to be safe. That's a really cool idea CF!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
