bverdon Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Does anyone know of a decent video that illustrates using the effects loop of an amp to send just time based type of effects to a real tube amp? Everything I search targets 4 or 7 cable methods. When I tried to do this to my 5153, nothing but noise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd2rk Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Absolute simplest way: I'm assuming here that your amp's FX Loop is INSTRUMENT Level for use with normal guitar stompboxes vs studio grade rack fx which are usually LINE level or provide a switch for INSTRUMENT/LINE. In Global Settings>Ins/Outs set Helix FX Send/Return 1 to INSTRUMENT Level. Take the amp's FX Loop SEND (using shielded 1/4" cables - normal TS guitar or guitar fx patch cables) to Helix RETURN 1. Take Helix SEND 1 to Amp's FX Loop RETURN. Load up the attached demo preset. Note that the INPUT Block is set to RETURN 1 and the OUTPUT Block is set to SEND 1/2, and that the OUTPUT is panned HARD LEFT so that the entire signal goes to SEND 1. bverdon.hlx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
