jeffhucik Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I know we have all figured this out but I'm a visual guy. I did a real quick video on this to show how to do it. please forgive me for the crude manner as i am not one who typically makes videos. i hope it helps. if not yell at me! lol. I'm also a drummer and not the best guitarist FYI i have these tools mainly for my studio.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Great Video! What kind of ground breaker DI box is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffhucik Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Behringer HD400 hum destroyer. Cheap and efficient. $25 maybe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks again didn't have one of those, just ordered one from MF ! You can also run a wah, distortion pedal or boost in front of your FX loop, then add as you did the dlys and verb after the PS line in. Quite nice!

I didn't get into pre effects, but that is more of the point of this set up. Sorry I didn't touch on it, I should have. This set up IS more for running pre effects. The way I ran the delay is the way I usually run it (amp into Helix for impulse and post effects) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STPLE Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks - this is exactly what I was doing except for adding the lift. It would work until I turned up the amp (channel and master volume) then there would be very loud screeching noise. I wonder if I added one of those hum destroyers if that would do the trick. It just doesn't appear to be your typically hum issue (loud screeching noise). Thanks again - video was helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STPLE Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes. FX Loop 1 (set to instrument level in global settings) - I had the cable just in the send 1 out to guitar amp front. Then I had the return cable in the Return 2 (set to line level in global settings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffhucik Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That's odd. I wouldn't think that's a loud screech would be caused by no Ground Lift.. more buzz and hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STPLE Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I hooked up the amp and rockcrusher to make sure all is well (bad tube or cable, etc.). No problems. I have no idea why this isn't working - I may try a hum destroyer or something of the kind later. Thanks guys for your help. I've actually used the DT25 - Rockcrusher - Helix in a live setting before (with the workaround) and it works great - but that is a bit different b/c I'm bypassing the preamp and just using the poweramp.

jeffhucik Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I unfortunately have to unload my PS2 i used in my vid due to some financial issue. head over to Reverb and you can get a brand new unit with the rack kit for $575 free shipping.
