Halmtz Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi guys, I have a question. I usually use my Helix for both guitar and bass with FRFR at home. When it comes to playing electric guitar inside of rehearsal space with my band I connect Helix to return of a tube amp and it sounds great. Can I do the same thing with bass? I mean bass - helix input - 1/4 out - bass amp's return (in this case it's Ampeg SVT-3 pro). I want to use amp emulation that my Helix provides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halmtz Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just wondering if it will work out using a bass amp, maybe someone has already tried this before. I have a rehearsal tomorrow and I don't want to be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It's no different than using a guitar amp model into the FX return of a guitar amp... whether or not you'll like it is another question entirely, but that's what rehearsals are for. Try it out. Either way, the Helix neither knows nor cares what you're monitoring through. It'll either sound good or it won't. If not, turn knobs until it does, or try another configuration until you find something that works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledoneus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 bout the only difference between using the Helix into an FRFR and the return of a physical amp is that you would not want to use any cab models/ IRs. Other than that, basically work the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
