HX 7 cable

[JakeMann35]

Hi All

 

Been struggling with this for a while now... need some help regarding 7 cable.

 

It’s wired up correctly but for the life of me I’m not sure what I’m doing with the signal chain. At the moment my signal chain (as an example) goes

 

compressor to modulation 

then send 1/2

then I split yo path B to run reverb and delay

 

I'm not getting my normal amp tone out of the front from both amps. Sounds very weak.

 

the signal chain thing is a complete guess so I’m not convinced I’m doing it correctly. 

 

Can anyone help? Not finding a lot of info on line at the mo.

Here is my setup using two Marshall Silver Jubilee's with the 7CM.  Path 1 is setup for FX Loop 1 and Path 2 is setup for FX Loop 2.  If you want to run your effects in stereo, make your Path 1 output PAN LEFT and your Path 2 output PAN RIGHT.  This setup works great for me.  Just remember that any effects before the FX Loops will be processed in mono regardless if you choose stereo effects or not.  No sense wasting the DSP processing power for non-time based effects.  I also assign a stomp button for each effect in both paths.  In other words, If I select my Delay, it will enable/disable that effect in both paths simultaneously.  This should work the same on both the Helix and the HX Effects.  Hope this helps you.
