littlecharva Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, If I was to run a Helix into the effects return of a bass amp, am I right in thinking that I could use the bass amps in the helix just forget about the cabs? Thanks, Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. For live situations keep in mind that the signal that you send to your amp will be quite bright (which is then tamed by your physical cab). So you may use the option to use cab sims for the XLR outs only, so that the FOH receives a "similar" signal compared to the one you are hearing through your amp. It is always a good idea to try the cab sim/FOH sounds through a PA system, so that you can adjust the sound to be close to your "physical cab sound".
