HX effects. Preset modification to add an IR output to the existent 4CM setup.

[joanesinu]

Hello,

 

This has been my main preset until now. I am using a Diezel Einstein with 4 cable method, and I send the delay and reverb to the effects loop in parallel with each other.

 

 

Now, I wanted to add an Impulse response in case I want to send the signal directly to the PA instead of MIC-ing. I ended doing this modification to the preset. The added Send now goes to the Amp effects loop Return. The IR would be affecting the main outputs of the HX effects.

 

 

I think this will work but I was wondering if it is any other way for doing this. Perhaps connecting the Amp loop return to the main output on the helix (Like the old preset) and just sending the IR signal from the Send of HX effects. 

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

I did another variation. My head has a compensated output that could be interesting to use to apply the IR to it instead of the return of the amp effects loop. The compensated out plug is after the power amp, and the loop return is not, so I would be capturing the entire amp sound instead of only the preamp.

 

This is the layout. The HX Send is directly to the amp 'return/power amp'. The amp compensated out comes to HX Return and it applys the IR to it, then it goes to main output.

 

It's the same layout as before but now I am using the 'compensated out' from the amp instead of using directly the amp loop return signal.
