timster666 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hello all - maybe someone can help me out. How should I set everything up, if I wish to use a Helix preamp with 4 cable method with my amp (that has an effects loop)?Let's say I want to use the Archetype preamp, where should the preamp block be placed in the chain in relation to the send/return block?And would cabels be connected the same way as you see on most 4 cable method schematics?Thanks in advance!

frodebro Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just place the Helix preamp block right next to the send/return block (in series), then toggle between the two (loop block off when preamp loop on and vice-versa). Connections are standard 4CM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't matter. When the block is bypassed the signal runs straight through as if it isn't even there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
