jpallotta1 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hello all, This is my first post as a new user so please go easy in me, LOL. I have recently purchase a Helix floorboard and a Powercab Plus, i have also ordered a pre-owned JTV59. Can any of you who have all three components provide any direction in order to where to start to have all three units syncing with each other (MIDI, USB, etc.)? As of right now I would like to have the Helix and the Powercab syncing, will this work with just the LIne6 Link or do i need to use a MIDI cable in addition?

Rocco_Crocco Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If you want to control the Variax with the footswitches on the Helix, you need a VDI cable. You could use the Line 6 Link to go between the Helix and Powercab, but you can't control the IRs/speaker models in the PC via L6 Link (yet) so that is not all that important... you could just use a regular 1/4" or XLR cable into the regular inputs of the Powercab. Enjoy your new gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Welcome jpal. Just guessing here but I would think that since there is a L6 Link connection on the Powercab +, so You should be able to control at least parts of the settings on the Powercab + with Helix using the "Control" settings within the editor. I say this because I can and do control 3 Strymon pedals at the same time via midi, the editor and a Midi interface thru Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
