4CB vs FRFR

Hello, 

Another Newbie question.  New to Helix and have been frustrated with building patches that can be used for both live gigging and headphone/recording.  I've read that FRFR is a better method for this than 4CB. for gigging, I like to have stage sound vs. going straight to FOH/PA.   I have a quilter interblcok 45w head with a powerless 2x12 cab.  Can someone suggest the proper setup for what I have and looking to do?  Thanks!

When you say you want a preset that will sound right through for both live gigging and recording that's going to be a challenge if you want to use a traditional cabinet for live gigging because, by definition you'll be missing some components that are automatically baked into a preset for recording.  Namely the modeled cabinet (or IR) that includes the mic, mic combination and mic placements, which you wouldn't be using for the signal going to your 2x4  cabinet.  Ideally if you branch off of your main signal chain through a send to your Quilter and 2x12 cabinet, that output shouldn't affect your USB output which would be the full signal chain that contains the modeled cab/IR that normally goes to the PA and would be used for recording purposes to the DAW. 

That's why life is so much simpler with a simple FRFR monitor.....
