hello! tell me why you don't disable the emulation of the cabinet, because it turns out that the sound of the virtual cabinet is superimposed through the real speaker of the real cabinet, which has its own characteristics? Thanks for video and cool presets (BE100 - Forever!)))
That is a good question. The reason I didn't disable the cabinet emulation (which I don't think I mentioned in the video) is I wanted to try using existing presets without having to change them. Basically to try and keep things as simple as possible for using existing presets. This was a bit of an experiment to see if that would work. I do plan to do a video where I disable the cabinet emulation. It does complicate things a bit, especially if you want to use FX like reverb AFTER the cabinet. I will have to re-create specific presets for this. If this works, maybe I should upload to the Customtone website. Thanks for the comment!
@@ProFunctionist Great channel, great video. I've basically just started turning off any cabs in my presets, because it's one less variable I need to worry about when I get to a gig. Sometimes I don't know what amps are going to be available and I dont want to be faffing around turning off cab blocks in various presets as I'm trying to get ready for the gig!
and a few more questions: how will the method with 4 cables differ fundamentally? I didn't hear much difference... Maybe I'm just deaf?:) Explain what is the meaning of a section with two parallel volume blocks (on the first line)?
The 4 cable method is particularly good if you want to put the Helix's FX like drives and compressors into the front of the amp and FX such as delays and reverbs after the preamp and before the power amp section. In this video, I wasn't using the amplifier's preamp section. The entire preset was going into the FX return of the amp and just going into the power amp section. I do intend to use the 4 cable method in a future video.. As for the "paraallel volume blocks" bit, I actually can't remember what I did there. Sorry lol 🙂
Another difference is that you should be able to use all the knobs on the front of the amp (including volume etc). with 4CM, normally if you're going into the Fx loop, the only way to control volume (such as with the Roland Jazz Chorus or JCM) is the master knob on the Helix.
I want to get rid of my huge pedal board. I use a amp with send/return. I use my delay and reverb pedals in the send/return, and all my overdrive/distort direct in front of amp. Sound so much better than adding the delay after the fuzz/OD in front. Can I do same as i do with my pedal board with the helix? Use helix overdrive stomp direct input in front of amp, and some how route the delay and reverb going to the send/return of my amp, not just add a delay and reverb block after the effects and put it in front?
If I understand your intended set up correctly, then yes you can! You would need to use more FX loop blocks for each pedal you want to use (as well as the FX loop block for your amp) and then place those new FX loop block appropriately in your chain. Remember, anything before the FX loop block for your amp will go in front and anything after will be in your amp's FX loop. Hope that helps.
I use a Roland Jazz Chorus 40 watt stereo into the effects loop, sounds great!!

I'd like to know that too

Hi, did you use only 2 cables? 1 guitar in; 2 Helix out -> Amp Fx return?
In this way you can use your preset in all amps. Correct?
Wondering the same
Hi. Thanks for the video. So send from Helix into amp and return back to Helix?
One cable from your guitar into Guitar input on the Helix. Second cable from your 1/4" out on the Helix to the L/mono FX return on your amp. Done!
@@guitarhero2022I can't believe you didn't explain this in the video!! You just said, "...into the amp's effect loop."
