Sakariz Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello everyone, So, I'm guessing about buying one Helix with my Engl Fireball 60 head, but here is my question : Will I be able to switch channel to clean and distortion ? I have no midi output on this, but only a footswitch channel to switch the canal A to B ... And will I be able to only use the effect of Helix like delay, reverb, ect... and keep the sound of my head ? Will it sound great ? Here a picture of the head If so, what is the method to do this ? I haven't see anything about this on internet, maybe I have bad checked... Sorry for my bad english, Have a nice week ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 You need an INSERT Cable (Single 1/4" Stereo to Dual 1/4" Mono). When you get your Helix, READ THE MANUAL, specifically the sections COMMAND CENTER and SNAPSHOTS. The attached Preset demonstrates the technique. Use Command Center to see how it is done. I don't know which Channel is activated by which connection, TIP or RING, so I've called the Snapshots TIP and RING. When you load the Preset, Snapshot 1 (TIP) is active.

Sakariz Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thx you for your answer ! I'll read the manual right now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakariz Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Okay, so I have read the manual, they talk about a TRS Cable, not an INSERT. Can you confirm that ? Anyway, you answered to my question, I'll be able to change the channel of my AMP ! The snapshots system seems rly good ! But I'll have to past a lot of time to understand it at 100% !
