chaddiek Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have an old 2 channel Triple Rectifier with the parallel loop.What is the best method to hook up the Helix and be able to use the pre-amps on the Helix through the power amp section?The standard 4 cable method seems to overlap tones, and when the loop is engaged (when the natural triple rectifier tone in engaged) it makes it so the effects in the chain aren't affecting the tone: For example, even if the delay is engaged the effect doesnt come through. My effects chain starts with the in/out of the loop and everything is after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EooN Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 With the old triple recs you have to fiddle with the FX loop send and return levels on the back of the amp. Read the manual to get a general idea and then tweak with your ears. I'm afraid that you won't be able to use helix's preamps with the triple rec as the amp doesn't really allow to set the loop to be 100% wet (there's always some dry signal coming through). I managed to get my triple rec working with TC Flashback and HoF and as of now I'm running them in their normal mode, not killing the dry signal (which is the suggested way to go when you have a parallel loop).
