PANDAPANDELO Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hey, everybody! I just got myself a HX Stomp again, and I'm wondering if I could retire my K&K Trinity Preamp. The idea is this: the preamp receives a stereo signal from the K&K Trinity (Pure Mini Pickup + Internal Microphone), and send the signal to wherever I want. I was just wondering if I could just send the stereo signal directly to the HX Stomp, via a single stereo cable, and then mix it there, with eq, etc. Can that be done? If don't, no problem at all... I could keep my K&K Trinity Preamp and just send the already blended signal to the HX Stomp and keep the magic happening with it! Thank you!

Schmalle Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I don't see why not. Split the stereo cable, put the pickup side in the Input L and the mic signal in the Return L. Set Global Settings -> Ins/Outs -> Send/Return to Line. This sets the Return input impedance to 10kOhm which is ok for dynamic microphones. Set the patches Input Main L/R -> In-Z to 1MOhm for best impedance for the pickup. Then use a ReturnL block to mix in and level the mic signal.

dondale Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Has this worked for anyone? I have a K&K Trinity and a Helix Floor, and am trying to do exactly this -- split the Pure Mini and the microphone from the Trinity straight into two inputs of the Helix (no external K&K preamp). The Pure Mini side works great. The microphone side (the ring signal from the TRS out of the guitar, split by my splitter) doesn't give me a signal unless I run through the K&K external preamp. I've narrowed down the possibilities to a bad splitter or my Helix is not correctly configured to accept the signal from the microphone. It would be a huge help if someone who's successfully accomplished this could share the settings that they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosaltao Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hi, if I'm not mistaken, the K&K Trinity Microphone is a condenser microphone, and it requires, according to the K&K website, the Trinity Pro Preamp or a Quantum Blender to power the microphone. That might be why you're no getting any signal when you plug it directly into the Helix or the Stomp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
