jergles Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hey folks, was just curious if this was possible. I saw another thread that advised plugging the Stomp into the aux in on the Amplifi to make it actually behave like a FRFR system, and I wanna poke around here and see if anyone else is doing something similar/might have some advice. This would just be for practicing or monitoring, nothing too crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyVallance19 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 G'day Jergles, I use my Amplifi 150 for an FRFR system with my Pod HD500X with no issues, so I see no reason that the HX Stomp wouldn't work. I don't use the AUX in port though, I have had issues with getting it to work in stereo. I have set up a FRFR patch with all effects disabled except reverb, which I can control with the reverb control knob on the amp. I saved this in tone 1A so the system automatically starts working when the amp is turned on. My signal chain is guitar -> Pod HD500x Guitar in -> Headphones out (To combine L and R if using stereo effects) -> Amplifi Guitar in. System works flawlessly and is perfect for a foldback or small-medium sized gig. I set up the patch on a whim one day because I needed a foldback and didn't want to go out and buy a Yamaha DBR10 or similar. I was playing guitar for a professional production of Mamma Mia for about a month, and I had all my patches for my strat, acoustic and 12 string set up in my Pod pedal. I had my patches set up with different inputs so switching instruments was as simple as putting one down and picking another up. I had XLR out L and R going to front of house (I had a stereo chorus in play for a few songs, plus stereo effects sound nicer in general), and the Amplifi connected to the headphones out as a foldback. I could control my own level and reverb easily. Regarding the AUX in and issues with stereo, I now have a similar system set up as a studio in my university accommodation, but I have added a Yamaha MG10XU mixer to the mix (*badum tsss*) I use the headphones out on the POD with a 1/4 in TRS-2xTS to one of the stereo channels in the mixer, the the main out 1/4 in with a 2xTS to 3.5mm TRS connector in the Aux in port. I believe there is an issue with polarity however, because I can get one channel to work or the other, but never in true stereo. I have tried everything to no avail. I use headphones when mixing anyway so it isn't a real issue. Hope this is at least somewhat helpful for you, and I hope you find something that works for your setup.

Kissimmee Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Use different preamps with your amp's power amplifier can connect them both to Helix Send/Returns (HX Stomp requires stereo breakout). Great Lakes Student Loans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishback_1 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 You can obviously use the HX to connect directly to a guitar amplifier, but you need to know that you should only have one preamp, power amp, and speaker cabinet in the signal path.
