How to connect two separate paths into a third on a Helix?

[m7tch7]

I have two separate paths and want to connect them to a third path running a loop pedal.

 

path 1 (Synth): variax -> effects -> out

path 2 (guitar): guitar -> effects -> out

I would like to put a looper that takes the signal from both and puts out the final product. Could somebody please tell me how to make the out from two paths one that connects to a third path? 
 

I’ve only had a helix about a week and I feel like there is a simple solution for this. Thank you anyone who answers

Set the output for paths 1A and 1B to Path 2A. Then set the input block for Path 2 to None.

 

I’m not entirely sure what your intention is regarding stereo separation here, but with what you have shown here, both signals will be summed together when they hit the amp block in Path 2.

In the post above from “phil_m” some of his comment is correct but I think he overlooked your idea of having everything pass through the looper.

 

Essentially, you need to have every thing currently on Path 2A (your guitar input) needs to be on Path 1B, but you cannot have that extra Mod FX block currently running parallel to the speaker block. Then what Phil suggested, i.e route 1A(Variax) and 1B(Guitar) to Path 2A which would then contain only the looper.

 

This is a quick and dirty solution, because sadly you cannot route paths 1A&2A though 1B.

 

Anyhow this could be more refined than what I have suggested, but I’m busy on something else right now.

 

Play around with it and see how you progress..

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Thank you both for your help. I ended up just putting the synth and guitar into one big linear chain and then assigning all of the guitar effects to a bypass switch. This way I could turn the synth on, with a different switch, and not have it run through the guitar effects.

Hi,

 

If it gets the result you want - great.

 

As you say you are new to the Helix world, you will soon discover many ways to achieve many, many complex configurations. It’s also a great to familiarise yourself with lots of other options to construct signal paths, by reading the Helix Owner’s Manual. Plus experiment.
