Flotsam71 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Is AUX input the same as say return one?? I am playing around with wet dry wet and the video I watched has routing from right output to AUX in for wet effects...then out through 3/4 sends. Why AUX ...why not return 3...or 4....thanks anyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Probably because the aux is designed for active pickup guitars and bass, so he's taking in the boosted output signal as if it's a new guitar signal and will be processed through the entire signal chain.

Flotsam71 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 So aux in would be a hotter signal than return 3. Im using a Marshall with 2 Laney irt-x and all the routing options are driving me crazy...sounds incredible so far...glad I'm just a basement guitarist..thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Aux in is LESS hot, I think, than a return, because it's designed to handle a preamped signal coming in, and the Return is designed so that it can be set for line or instrument.An electric guitar (I found after testing) only works totally right in the guitar input.The particular usage you describe sounds wacky and unnecessary, since you can do so much of that kind of routing inside Helix, but to each their own.

Flotsam71 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I know the routing options are crazy good. But for a true W/D/W with three physical amps...how else would this be accomplished? Path 1 to dry and path 2 in stereo to 2 wet amps?? So many options I'm trying to figure out the best way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungho Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Richie Castellano does a great job explaining the wet dry wet setup and how everything is connected. You can find his vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvarQIPwchE That might answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flotsam71 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 That's the video I'm talking about... Around the 20min part I think..I understand all of it...just curious why the right output goes to AUX in instead of just return 3..thanks for all the replies guys!
