hx stomp hybrid stereo setup with stereo direct out and two amps or a 7 cable method

[Glonjo]

Is HX stomp capable to do a hybrid stereo setup? Going stereo direct in to PA and in to two amps (without amp sim and IR). 

Or can it do a 7 cable method?

Yes.

 

Stereo Balanced signal to FOH from the Main Outs, Stereo Unbalanced signal from the FX Loop to dual amps.

Place the Dual IR/Cab Block after the Stereo FX Loop Block. 

The amp block is MONO, so anything before the amp block will be summed to MONO.

You COULD use a split path with two amps for end-to-end stereo, but the main drawback to your entire plan is that you'll quickly run out of DSP and you're already down to 5 blocks with the single amp/FX Loop/IR blocks. 

 

7cm will work, but you'd need a stereo IR/DI box after the Main Outs (which go to the amp RETURNS) to add FOH without the CAB/IR getting to the stage amps.

Dual powered FRFRs instead of guitar amps would work fine.

Thanks.

I just need the amps, fx loop ad IR so, hopefully DSP won't be a problem.

Just to clarify, since you originally asked about going to a PA (FOH) -

 

Using Helix amps:

 

a single amp with pre amp fx in MONO, stereo post amp fx out to dual guitar amps using their fx loop returns should not be a DSP issue.

 

Using TWO Helix amps for end-to-end stereo will almost definitely be a DSP problem.

 

In neither case would the FOH routing affect DSP.
