boynigel Posted Wednesday at 04:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:04 PM i've started playing around with adding a 2nd cab to some presets but when i go to A/B, by bypassing the newly added cab, it's bypassing BOTH. is there a workaround to this that would allow me to instantaneously turn just one cab off?

rd2rk Posted Wednesday at 04:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:34 PM Same way you toggle any pair of effects. Assign them both to the same FS, then SAVE the preset with one ON and the other OFF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted Friday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:49 PM Helix Stadium Native has a built-in A/B feature for such comparisons. There’s a free trial period. Hardware and plug-in presets are interchangeable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted Friday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:51 PM Use Snapshots wisely. Use MIDI. Assign switches on a basic MIDI controller to the simple ON/OFF functions and use the Helix switches for the more complex stuff. Don't make every preset a "kitchen sink". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted Friday at 02:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:58 PM Just copy the preset, change the speaker on the copy, save it and A/B the presets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
