The Line 6 Helix sounds amazing when going direct to the mixer and you hear it through in-ear monitors. But what if you want to use the Helix through a guitar cabinet on stage (like a regular guitar amp) like a 'regular amp? Maybe you like the tones and consistency that the Helix provides but want/need that speaker on stage sound and feel.
In this video, we look at one way to do this and ask can I plug my Helix into my amp's FX loop? There are other ways to connect your Helix with your amp. The four cable method springs to mind. But those are topics for another video.
