This is just great Jason. even if this topic has been covered, its still great to have a refresher course! and is helpful with new users of the helix :)
good stuff Jason. Looking forward to the rest of the Global settings tutorials. I think a LOT of Helix product family users/owners get messed up because their settings are incorrect (especially if they bought a used unit and never went in to check it was reset back to factory or to what THEY needed for THEIR applications, or just didnt understand why/how to set each setting correctly). you rock. RUSH RULES
Do you set your volume knob for unity gain? I recall in one of your earlier videos it had a footnote saying you did but just wanted to see if that is still the case.
he said in one of his videos recently that he has his master volume knob all the way clockwise to max. I set mine to the mid point of 50% as I get patches from the internet and when I test them out many are too loud and I dont want to blow my ears so i set my volume to 25-50 to protect and then slowly add vol as needed. if you set it to 50% then youy always have headroom. and you can always add channel volume on the output block or in your amp block to add more volume for each patch
Jason, what a Godsend to have stumbled across your channel. Not sure if you take questions - but I'm trying to record into Reaper using the USB (no Audio interface). The Helix signal into the DAW is WAY too hot! Is there some sort of setting to drop the Reaper USB output level??
It would be nice to see how you set up to use Re-amp source USB 7 in Reaper for example....and using the Helix hardware to reamp..with a different preset..not using Native.....
Hey Jason, love your stuff, truly great information. I have a ton of your videos pinned to my watch later to learn more about creating my own tones. Could you do a video dialing in a tone like the heavy portion on Black Label Society's new single Set You Free. The minute I heard it the first time, I realized thats the tone I have been chasing for years [without knowing it] but have never been able to get it. In true Zakk Wylde fashion, I can tell he is running through (at least one) 4x12 cab, and it sounds like he uses some chorus on it as well [as is typical of Zakk's tones]. I would love to see you walk through that tone so I could learn how to get to something like it. Thanks, love the content!!!
Jason I am new to this and I bought your preset packs but I can't hear them thru my powercab 112 plus. I know it's a setting but it is beyond me. I am using the link to connect to the powercab.....
Great stuff. I haves a ? On AES vs SPDIF to symphony IO. My studio has Ax FX amd two Kemper land one ampete 88s studio running 5 amps Thur OX to max OS w logic helix rack from Sweetwater is just not cutting it , SPDIF out volume at max. Just to get tone close to what head phones sound like and also to get adequate levels on maestro mixer. Cannot get anything from AES. Just working thru differences in out of box connection and user friendly differences. In boxing and out of box plug and play is not there with the helix. Do you have an email please advise. Or do u do any individual e workshops for fee for service Joe
hi you said you hooked up a focusrite clarett to your hx stomp what do you set the ins outs to in global setting to then, if just going out to left and right speakers ? is it instrument line line ?
Hey Jason! Quick question…. When I switch from one preset to another, often the volume is very different, and I need to move the expression pedal each time in order to get the proper volume. Is there a global setting where I can avoid this? (Hope I’m making sense).
this is especially true if the presets/patches are from all different surces/users that you downloaded from the internet on custom tone or purchased as everyone makes their patches to fit THEIR guitar and settings so you will have to level each patch. Jason has a video where he goes over that in detail. do a YT search for it
I have figured out the inputs. All I want is two outputs to headphones two headphones. One output I can get from is the phone out. But what about the other? SEND 1/2 or 1/4" is giving signal only to Left ear. I have tried some converters and splitters but it just spoils the quality. Is there a way get another 'phone out' like signal from the 1/4" or send1/2 via a TRS cable? Note: i have helix lt
Brother you always expand my knowledge and I appreciate it! Cheers
My pleasure and thank you 🙏 So glad you find the videos useful!
Please keep these videos up I've learnt so much from your channel awesome work 👏
Love your channel mate, good info for years, I haven't even scratched the surface of what you put out here
Thank you so much and really glad you enjoy 🙏
Great. Thank you for investing time to create these informative videos. I always look forward to seeing new content :)
Using the Left mono 1/4 inch out into an interface line level should I use a balanced cable or not?
Thanks for this one Jason, so informative!
Great video once again. Line 6 really should be paying you as their TH-cam manual guy. Thank you

Thanks Jason - really useful. Have you done a video talking about using the Helix with a DAW - and the choices of DAW ?

he has an EXTENSIVE video on just the re-amp process. its over my head and i dont use that but its very useful for sure

Hi Jason, how can you set all of these global parameters in Helix Edit?
Regards
Thanks, I didn't realize I could use the S/PDIF to record in my audio interface... BTW does the USB 7 (raw DI) is also available that way?
I have digital cliping even with empty preset , try impedance ,out levels , factory reset ect and the problem persist

How can you disable the Helix as an audio interface and use the USB as the link to Helix Edit only??
Hello,
Is there any way to see Global Setting on PC?
Question If am sending 1/4 output from helix to a mixer and then from mixer to monitor speakers should I set to instrument level or line level? Thanks
hi you said you hooked up a focusrite clarett to your hx stomp what do you set the ins outs to in global setting to then, if just going out to left and right speakers ? is it instrument line line ?
Hey Stephen, I would set the outputs to Line if going to a powered speaker. Hope that helps :-)
@@JasonSadites hi Thankyou do you mean all 3 line line line?
Hey Jason! Quick question…. When I switch from one preset to another, often the volume is very different, and I need to move the expression pedal each time in order to get the proper volume. Is there a global setting where I can avoid this? (Hope I’m making sense).
Go to your global settings and set your volume pedal to global as opposed to per preset. This will solve your issue
@@jimleedavid thanks! 😀
