cms1620 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 So I have my helix using 4CM and a voodoo control switcher to change the channels. It seems like the Helix is now my pre amp and all volume treb mid bass etc. is controlled by the helix. I would rather it be the other way around. Set up is as follows Guitar in = guitar Helix FX send = infront of my amp Helix return = FX SEND on amp 1/4 out helix = FX return on amp Not sure if this is correct any advice would be great thanks.

rd2rk Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You need to add an FX LOOP Block between the FX that you want BEFORE the Mesa Preamp, and the FX you want AFTER the Preamp but BEFORE the Poweramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used a line6 since my flextone II HD. So this is a new thing for me. Thank you for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 The FX LOOP Block is in the SEND/RETURN Category. Be sure to choose the one for the ins/outs you're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that I have control back to the front end of the amp. There is a problem with my dirty channel where the volume drops way low. If I go to my lead channel the volume does boost as its designed to do. Then when I go back to the dirty the volume is correct its weird. But from clean to dirty the volume drops off. Not sure whats going on with that. I'll try assigning to a different spot and see if that changes anything. I'll post pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older models came with a parallel loop. The newer ones have serial loops. Parallel loops can cause all kinds of issues when using time/modulation effects and/or the 4 cable method.
