What is the correct way to use Helix with a real amp

Hi all,

 

someone can help me in understanding the correct way to use Helix with a real amp.

For sure, using a PA, amps and cab sims have to be active.

Using the front of a real amp, do i have to disable both amp and cab?

Using the return of areal amp, do i have to disable both amp and cab and activate the relative preamp?

 

Many thanks

Yes, this is theorically what you have to do.

There's another possibility with the 4 Cables Method....

Not entirely,

 

in front, you should suppress all your amp and cab models but all effects are before the preamp. Theorically, it's better to  have times effects after this one (delay, tremolo, phaser, reverb) and compressor, disto, wha before.

In the return, you have to simulate a preamp, you loose your combo one.

In 4CM, you keep all that you appreciate in your preamp (sound, response, etc...) but instead of having everything in front of it, you can place FX before and after it.
