Jam_Sandwich Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi. Just a question as there’s a few different blocks. I’ve just got a Helix. When playing live I want to use my amp for amp sounds and the Helix for the effects. I want to use the 4 Cable Method. Do I use the send/return block or do I have to put the send block and the return block in individually in different parts of the chain? And if there’s nothing needed before the amp I just place it right at the beginning? Here’s what I’m thinking the two types should look like. Please correct me if I’m wrong. 1. Wah, Pitchshifter, Send/Return, Phaser, Delay, Reverb. 2. Send/Return, Phaser, Delay, Reverb. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeGB Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Use a single send/return block. And order is personal preference - the beauty of 4cm here is it's so easy to move stuff around. The order you've given is the "traditional" approach so a good starting point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam_Sandwich Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Perfect. Thanks a lot. So just to clarify, still use a send/return block even though I don’t have anything before the amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeGB Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yip - otherwise the signal won't actually go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
