cr500guy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I’ve had the HD500 in the past and really loved it running to monitors. I used it for amp/cab model/effects patches. But I’ve always had a separate amp and pedal board. Currently I have an EVH amp and HX Effects with the 4 cable method. My question... is it possible to run both setups off of one Helix? So in other words if I was in the mood to play through dual monitors a Pink Floyd patch I could just turn on the Helix and go to the specific Banks with those amp/cab/fx patches. OR... If I’m in the mood to play through my EVH amp with banks loaded with patches of effects using the 4 cable method, I could do that. Is this possible? If it is I will sell my HX Effects and purchase a Helix and just run both setups. Thanks in advance. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Not only can you do both, you can combine them into a W/D/W configuration. For max flexibility, get the Helix Floor or Rack w/control. Download the manuals and study the routing features BEFORE purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have my EVH Amp connected four cable method in pedal mode AND have monitors also connected and make separate patches for each? I wouldn’t have to completely disconnect my EVH amp to switch over from pedal mode to the monitors and go into Amp/cab/effects mode? Could I do this with the Helix LT? I just ask as it’s a little more budget friendly than the Helix Floor. Thanks for your help btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 You can use the 1/4 Out and the fx send/return to connect your amp. And you can connect your monitors to the XLR Outs. In your patches you can choose the outputs you need(XLR, 1/4, Digital, Multi,...). You can also do this with the LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
