Meeotch Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hey guys, apologies if this has been covered in the past, but I am on the verge of buying a Helix and just want to confirm some routing options: I'd like to be able to send a fully modeled tone (preamp + poweramp + IR) to FOH, but use my own poweramp and cab to monitor myself on stage, without an IR. So I'd like to create a preset that can divide itself into two signal paths: one path gets a preamp model, a poweramp model, and an IR, then gets sent to FOH. The second path gets the same preamp/poweramp models, but no IR, and get's sent to my own amp/cab. Is this possible, and if so, any tips to making this work seamlessly? Thank you!

jondufour Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Yep you can totally do that. Just put a split at the right spot in the chain where you want separate, I usually use a gain block to create the split. One side continues to the IR and FOH on the XLR outs and the other to the 1/4 outs and to your amp/cab. something to be aware of, there aren't any power amp only models. It's pre-amp and amps (pre-amp / power amp together). Just to be clear based on the wording but wouldn't really make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joepeggio Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Or.... put a send block just before cab, set to instrument. No need to "waste" a split if you need it for something else..

Meeotch Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Ah, thank you for that tip! Sounds like I have a lot to learn, but I do want to avoid wasting a block or split if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
