Then Helix 1/4 out > NS2 return > NS2 out > Helix loop 1 return. Guitar > NS2 in > NS2 send > Helix front input > Helix loop 1 send > front of amp. I still get a small bit of hiss that I just cannot tweak out.Ģ) I then tried the NS-2 as I usually run it in an X pattern. In the last week I have tried the Noise Gate in the Helix with 80% success.ġ) I tried putting the Gate Block as the first thing in the loop of my amp. I should probably say that I do use my volume knob for tonal variations which is why I’ve always used the NS2. I have used a Boss NS-2 for years and as much as I try it always ends up in my chain. I like to use a gate on my amp just to keep things quiet for between songs and quick mutes. I cannot seem to attach a video so here is a link to my post on Facebook about this. If I remove the volume block and just use an actual volume pedal before the Helix input everything works as it should.
If I move the volume to the amp fx loop I get a small amount of guitar even when it is at 0. When I turn it all the way down and tune quietly I hear the gate releasing the hiss from the preamp comes thru. If I run either on in my amps effects loop, just before the Helix so it doesn’t cut delay trails I get a weird sound if the Volume block is first in the chain. The one thing I do not care for is the noise gate in the Helix. Sometimes I even move my Volume block into my amps loop for different effects. The first effect block in my Helix chain is a volume pedal controlled by an expression pedal. What if it happens at a gig?Īnd yes it is up to date as far as the software. Regular batteries seem to have fixed that problem but losing my “scenes” randomly is a no go for me. Lots of dropouts with the G70 at first but I think it was because I used rechargeable batteries. The bummer is I had a G90 for years and it worked flawlessly. It may be time to look at another system. But this is the exact same thing happening and I did nothing to the unit other than turn it off, pack up my board and turn it back on.
It was new at that time and I thought maybe I had hit a button or something. This happened a few years ago when I first bought the unit. Luckily I had time to reprogram them before the rehearsal began and I’ve had no problems since.
I have 3 “scenes” saved in the receiver with names for what guitar they go with.Ī few days ago I arrived at a rehearsal, I turned on the receiver and all of those saved settings were gone.
