Helix Effects into line level loop

[joanesinu]

Hello,

 

I am trying to use the line6 helix effects into a JVM410H head serial loop. The JVM has 2 loops, 1 serial/parallel and another serial with pre-amp out / power amp insert. I am using the second one. It is line level. I don't want to use the first loop as it has a wet/dry knob, so will never be a real series loop.

 

How do I set up the outputs level in the Helix? I am using FX Loop 1 with 4CM.

 

Right now, I have setted:

 

FX1 loop BLOCK- Line level

Block FX1 Send - Amp input: -14db (Line level reduced to instrument level)

Block FX1 Return - Amp send: 0db (Line level loop)

 

Main Output - Amp Return: 0db (Line level loop)

 

Another option I tested:

FX1 loop BLOCK- Instrument level

Block FX1 Send - Amp input: 0db (Instrument level)

Block FX1 Return - Amp send: -14db (Line level reduced to Instrument level) ALTHOUGH IF THE SIGNAL IS CLIPPING THE LEVEL REDUCTION WILL STILL HAVE THE CLIPPING SIGNAL.

 

 

The main problem is that in the HX FX the level of the FX Loop 1 is within Send and Return, and in 4CM send goes to amp input (Instrument level) and Return comes from the amp loop (Line level).

Does anyone has any suggestion?
