Page Knob Parameter Description
1 Guitar In Pad
If your guitar or bass has active or really loud pickups, you may want to turn this on. There's really no rule; use what sounds best.
2 1/4" Outputs
Choose "Instrument" when connecting the 1/4" outputs to stompboxes or the front of guitar amps; choose "Line" when connecting to
mixers, studio monitors, or standalone recorders. When using a single amp or speaker, connect only the LEFT/MONO 1/4” jack.
3 XLR Outputs
Choose "Mic" when connecting the XLR outputs to standalone mic preamps or the XLR mic inputs on mixers; choose "Line" when con-
necting to studio monitors or the line inputs on mixers. When using a mono playback system, connect only the LEFT/MONO XLR jack.
4 Send/Return 1
Choose "Instrument" when using a Send/Return pair as an FX loop for stompboxes; choose "Line" when using a Send/Return pair as
an FX loop for line-level rack processors, or as additional inputs and outputs for connecting keyboards, drum machines, mixers, and
other gear.
5 Send/Return 2
6 USB In 1/2 Destination
If you like to jam along with the iTunes or YouTube apps or your DAW, this setting determines from which outputs your computer or iPad
device's primary stereo audio stream will be heard. USB In 1/2 bypasses all Helix LT processing; USB 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 can be selected
as input blocks for processing DAW tracks or re-amping. Normally, you should choose "Multi," which sends USB In 1/2 directly to the
1/4", XLR, and Digital outputs. See "USB Audio".
1 USB In 1/2 Trim
Sets the level of incoming audio from USB 1/2, which bypasses all Helix LT processing. Normally, this should be left at 0.0dB.
2 Re-amp Src (USB 7)
USB out 7 and 8 are dedicated for recording a DI signal which can be used for re-amping; choose which two inputs will be sent dry
(unprocessed) to your DAW. See "USB Audio".
3 Re-amp Src (USB 8)
