Ellep Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 HI all, I am exploring stage options for my Helix, and thanks to some great people on this forum I have a several ideas ! My pre helix rig was effectively pedals into two Ac30's or two Jc120's (both hired) or two Jc 40's (which I own). So, what im now planning is using the Helix as an effects centre (bypassing the amp models), stereo out into the two Jc40's, or hired two Jc120's. Has anyone here had success with this type of setup ? Any gotchas ? Thanks again for all your help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethyl80 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I used a solo JC120 for years with no problem. I upgraded to Stagescape towers only because I wanted more power than a single 2x12 AND basic PA abilities. Otherwise I would have gotten another JC 120.

How did you find the presets (minus amp models obviously), translating into the JC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethyl80 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I didn't bypass amp models. Only very minor adjustments for playing through the JC120 compared to reference monitors and headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mains may now be labeled as an FX return.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethyl80 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I tried 4Cm at one point, but I went with a simple stereo input into the FX return. My JC120 is newer (~2010). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
