chuckdiraimondi Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 I’m a new Helix floor user. I tried hooking it up using the 4CM to my Fender Champion 110 XL amp. I primary wanted to use it just as a way to play through my amp speaker. I’ve noticed that I don’t seem to get great tone from the Helix until I have the main volume up to 12 o’clock. However at that volume it’s pretty loud for at home play. Am I doing something wrong to get the same good tone at lower volume levels? Thanks!

rd2rk Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 If you haven't heard of it, read this: Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia AKA "Fletcher-Munson". You MIGHT be able to improve it by using EQ. You might be able to improve it with a different speaker. Your best bet is probably to use the Helix amps with or without cabs/EQ, but straight into the Fender's power amp, bypassing the Fender's preamp altogether. I've never used one of those amps, but I run my Helix into the poweramp of my VHT Special6 Ultra (6v6 tube power section). Many people swear by PV Bandits - SS "trans-tube" tech.
