geomusicmart Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I want to use an amp head along with the Helix, so I wonder how I could use the amp's drive channel and EQ controls and IRs from Helix plus mod effects etc. Is the 4CM the way to achieve it or if not, what would be the way this can be done?

Schmalle Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yes. Here is a video by Line6 showcasing the 4CM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomusicmart Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Thanks. I've seen the video. Sorry to be a bit redundant but I don't have the amp head right now with me so I can't try this, so you're saying that both the amp and the Helix effects can be used together on the Helix's chain using this method? I'm fairly new with this digital technology I'm an old school dude you see, I come from the stomp boxes valve amps, cabs and mics era, so bear with me LOL.

Schmalle Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yes. The FX loops of the Helix insert external audio devices (preamp of an amp head, pedals, rack gear etc.) into where ever you want in the signal chain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
