Impulse Response Settings
Knob Parameter Description
1 IR Select
Selects one of the 128 available IR locations. If a location con-
tains an IR, the inspector header displays its name; otherwise,
it reads "<EMPTY>."
2 Low Cut
Filters a portion of the IR's bass and/or treble frequencies,
which can help remove rumble and/or high-end harshness.
3 High Cut
4 Mix
Blends the IR signal with the dry signal passed through the IR
block. When set to 0%, the path bypasses the IR completely.
When set to 100%, the entire path is fed through the IR, and
no dry signal is heard.
5 Level
Adjusts the overall output level of the IR block.
Send/Return
Each of the Helix four sends and returns can be used independently, or used together
as an FX loop.

into any location in your tone.
NOTE: Each send and return pair can be set for instrument (for inserting stomp-
boxes) or line-level operation. See "Global Settings > Ins/Outs"
NOTE: Each return can be used only once in a preset. For example, if you add
a Return 1 block (or assign one of the input blocks to Return 1), Return 1/2, FX
Loop 1, and FX Loop 1/2 items will all appear grayed out in the model list, as they
also utilize Return 1.
