Jack2Chat Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hello I am using the Yamaha THR100HD amp I want to use the Helix for effects only. As any regular pedal. However, I want to use it through the effects loop of the Yamaha amp. I tried the 4 cable method buy I lose the preamp section of the Yamaha. I also tried the two cable method. I do not want to lose access to the preamp. There are many great features in it. As I see it the guitar has to go into the input of the Yamaha and not into the helix. I tried to simply connect the sends and returns as you would with any pedal, but it did not work. I don’t know why? Any Ideas on how I might do this? Thank you for your considerations.

Guitar>Helix Input>Effects>FX Loop 1 Block>Helix Send 1>Amp Input>Amp FX Loop Send>Helix Return 1>Effects>Helix Left/Mono Out>Amp FX Loop Return When the FX Loop Block is ON you're using the Yamaha Preamp. When it's OFF you're going straight to the Yamaha's FX Return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFPPtheSound Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 THR100HD has a stereo fx loop. You need Y cables to run it correctly. Are you using a stereo or dual cab setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
