electricfactory 22 Posted October 15, 2018 The tip of a guitar cable has left itself behind in the guitar input port, as a result I can't use it until I remove the tip of this cable( you can see it in the pic below). Is it possible to use the AUX imput for guitar ? Anything special I have to do to make it work or are both inputs essentially the same ? Has anyone removed the back of their HELIX, anything special to know about removing the back panel to get at the jack ? Thanks, appreciate any help.

LutherDeLorme 4 Posted October 16, 2018 I found this vid, perhaps it helps. Don’t know if the build of the jack is the same. Be careful with the glue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porky_pie 7 Posted October 16, 2018 I had this problem not too long ago. You can use the aux in for guitar, but the impedance is much higher and as such is normally better for active/hot pickups. I got the tip of my cable out by screwing a long screw into the lodged tip so that it was stuck on the end of the screw, then simply pulling it out. It may take a few attempts as the clips are quite stiff, but it did work for me. Hope you get it out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
