SteinweinerMkIV Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Even if I turn off the cab and IR, still not getting a good sound going into the effects return of my Boogie MKIV powering a recto 4x12 (I had an AX8 and it sounded AMAZING this way..) What am I missing here?? I prefer cab sims (when going direct) that are V30 4x12, so why is it not working?? ..or should I say not sounding good. I have seen others on youtube do this and sounds awesome (just watched aguy plug into the effects return of a 5150III50w head and cab and it sounded ferocious!! (He didn't specify his settings) So I know it can be done, but I feel like Im missing something..???!?!?! \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDaveDaveDave Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 What amps/effects/preamps/pedals are you running into the Mk IV? For a starting point, you should really start with a Helix preamp model only, and then add pedals. Don't use a full-blown amp model, amp&cab or cab - you already have a real power amp and cab. Also, try the Helix output settings with both "line out" and "instrument". Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteinweinerMkIV Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not running any pedals, just using the MKIV as a power amp... I also run it into 2 studio monitors (downloaded Freman Big Pack, sounds KILLER)..Just trying to have a few patches setup for live this way (for fun).. I have a Mission Eng G1 in route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
