Hx Stomp routing questions

[Tboneous]

I want to my Hx Stomp with my tube amp.

How do I route the Stomp so I can have some fx in front of the amp and. Some fx in the fx loop of the amp?

 

Example:

Guitar->Hx distortion->amp input.

Hx Delay-> amp fx loop.

 

Thanks

It's called 4 cable method (4cm).

 

Instructions WITH PICTURES(!) Page 9 of the Manual.

Doesn't 4cm bypass the preamp? I don't want to bypass the preamp. I want Hx delays and reverbs to go to the amps fx loop while the distortion and compressors go the the front of the amp.  I'm using a Hot Rod Deluxe which has a fantastic preamp section.  Is that still 4cm?

 

Thanks for the help

That's the definition of 4cm. You can ALSO, if you want, bypass the amp's preamp section and replace it with a Helix amp in an either/or configuration, but the default signal path is:

 

Guitar>HXS Input>pre fx>FX Loop Block>HXS FX Send>amp input>amp pre>amp FX Send>HXS FX Return>post fx>HXS Out>ampFX Return.

 

Did you look at the manual? It's all explained and illustrated pretty clearly.

Manual? Manuals are so impersonal! Asking the forum gets us interacting and sharing and.....I'll check out the manual.

 

Thanks
