Looking for any tips really.

 

Using helix 4cm with a road king. Yeah there is some tone suck, and everything stage by stage is leveled. Small. But I notice it, though an audience won't. Back on point now that this is out of the way.

 

The Mesa Road King really does handle most all I would need given its 4 channels and flexibility. But every once in a while I need a break up that sits somewhere between what I have dialed in between channel 1 and 2.

 

However!!!

 

When I pop any dist pedal in front of a clean channel it sound GOD AWFUL!!! It kills the amp... it's just terrible.

 

I'm just looking for anyone that has used their helix 4cm with a clean amp + dist models that may have any tips and tricks.

 

 

Yes... I ran the helix direct FRFR for over a year gigging every week non stop and as a daily driver for lessons. Went back to a mesa tube amp. It works better for me. Already been around the block there. Just not for me.
