HX Effects - Stereo Return possible?

[milkman73]

Hi,

 

I'm using the HX Effects for Pre and Post Effects together with my Suhr PT 15 IR.

The signal flow is as follows:

 

Git -> (Input of Helix Fx) Pre-Amp Effects --> Send of Helix --> Input of Amp --> Out of Amp (using the IR Signal) --> Neo Vent II (Stereo back in the Helix using Return 1 & Return 2)

--> Post Fx --> Output 1&2 of Helix into the Mixer.

 

The issue is, that the Helix does only take the mono signal from the Vent (ignoring Return 2).

I'm using a Fx-Loop Block 1 in the Helix.

 

Is there a way to set this block (Return) to stereo?

Or how can I use the stereo signal?

 

Many thanks!

Unless you need the other SEND on the HX Effects for something else.... you can just insert a STEREO LOOP instead of a MONO one? This still only requires a single block. As long as the previous blocks are mono I don't think it would matter which SEND you use... but you could use a Y cable if you were concerned.  With a Stereo Loop the 2 Returns will be stereo. 

 

The other option would require two blocks. A mono send and a Stereo Return. That would free up the 2nd send for another use, but it would require yet another block to utilize it.

Yeah, the issue is, as stated above, that you’re using a mono FX Loop block rather than the stereo loop. Change the FX Loop block to FX Loop 1/2 and you should be good to go.

Thank you for the replies.

Sometimes it's quite easy ...

I forgot that you can change the Fx Loop to stereo.

 

Issue solved :-)
