Wet FX

Shared to another group, thought I'd share:

As a worship guitarist, the only reason no one hears guitars is because of the Strymons! Haha! No jokes though. Sound guys generally hate too much reverb and delay, so all that money spent on being buried in the mix is kinda weird.

I play a QC with a CloudBurst, but I send my delay and reverb on a separate stereo channel because the sound guys wants the dry signal and turns the wet fx down.

When my wife filmed the service with her phone, I was by far the loudest instrument on stage, and usually I can't hear our other guitarist when I'm not serving. Guitars have a place, loose the wet FX.

Reality is a ...

QC vs Helix MIDI - ps: QC midi sucks

Will there be any MIDI improvements coming to the QC? You can assign MIDI to almost any device parameters in the Line6 Helix/Stadium, whereas the QC is limited to basic functions like only replicating footswitches, 2 expression pedals, snapshots and looper controls.

It would be useful if snapshots could send midi to external devices also... I'm pretty sure the Helix can do this...

QC Dry/Wet signal

Accidentally replied to a post on the Helix sub, so thought this belongs here:

I split my chain twice. First, my "dry signal" (pitch, drives amp, *split*, tremolo, comp, gentle room reverb) goes to Output 1/2 and the *split* goes to Row 3. Then I split to my delay and reverb. I max both delay and reverb FX mix so its fully wet and send both split signals to Output 3/4 (no need to merge again). I mix the delay and reverb by lowering the split db to the delay.

My sound guys loves this. Its super clear and he can add as much ambience as he needs.

For home practice or just a simpler setup, I just set the Outputs to Multi, and thats a full Dry/Wet setup. Always clear and controlled.

I think the splits are A/B, and I leave all split outputs at 0db, except my delay split.
