I run my Helix LT into the Return of a Peavey Classic 50 2x12 with 25w Greenbacks. The Power Section the Peavey is 4 EL84 tubes. If I run an AC30 Preamp model into the Peavey power section, is it a 1:1 exact copy of an AC30, which also has 2x12 Greenbacks and 4 EL84 tubes?

Hello! New to the Helix world and loving it (I have an LT). I like playing along to music and listening to the mix via the Helix headphone out. I’ve watched videos about connecting a USB C to B cable and using either an iPhone or MacBook to send music.

I connect the cable, choose HELIX AUDIO as the output and then…nothing.

I’ve confirmed the USB 1/2 Input is set to Multi, the USB 1/2 trim knob does nothing. The volume control on the phone/laptop are greyed out.

I’ve tried different cables, my phone, my laptop, I just can’t seem to crack it.

Is there something I’m missing?

Hello! Just got a Helix LT for a steal off of FB. Everything works great except for the foot switch lights, which do not work. I got it for such a good price I’m not too bummed, I don’t gig so I can definitely make do without, but I’m just wondering how hard a fix it might be? I don’t have a warranty to risk voiding. I just don’t want to screw up an otherwise solid piece of gear.

Talk me out of it!

Hello friends - I’ve got a JC-22 I’ve been playing around with as well as an HX Effects unit. I’m building stereo effects chains and going straight into the inputs in the front of my amp. It was sounding a bit sterile so I’m experimenting with a Joyo American sound in the effects loop running parallel to the signal. I have a few questions:

1: since it’s running in parallel, does the JC retain the stereo effects or do they all get mixed down from the Send? (The speakers are so small I’ve put my head right in front of it and AB tested and am not sure. Maybe “it doesn’t matter” is the answer)

2: is the American Sound even necessary? Could i theoretically just split the signal into L and R, add an EQ block to one of the channels?

It sounds good as it currently is, I’m just trying to simplify if possible.

Thank you for answering this most likely these very simple, dumb questions!

Hello! Just got a killer deal on an HX Effects unit. I’m running it into my JC-90, which has a stereo return option. I’m loving all the presets but noticed that to get full stereo, I need to update them to have a send/return block and basically use a “5 cable method”

I don’t gig so I’m primarily playing 10 feet away from my amp at bedroom volume. Is it worth the hassle? Will I notice a huge difference between setting up the loop and getting full stereo or should I just plug it into the front of my amp and get on with my life?

Hi yall - hope this is the right place for this. I buy and sell guitars locally and occasionally sell & ship on ::popular guitar resale site::

I’ve been in discussions with a guy with over 500 5 star reviews on the site. He’s an LA musician, not famous but easily googleable. He sent me a message offering to buy the guitar off platform to save money on taxes and fees. Normally this would set off alarm bells but I have confirmed that this guy is who he says he is.

I’m considering doing the deal via Venmo and having him send the money and use their “Turn On for Purchases” option to put us both at ease. Just wondering if there’s any extra steps I can take to protect myself or if I’m making a huge mistake.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
