guitar -> Helix guitar input
Helix path 1a goes out a send into my valve amp instrument input
the amp goes into the Power Station
Power Station fx send into Helix fx return path 1a into 2a
Helix 1/4 our goes to Power Station FX return and out to the cabinet
2a splits into 2b which goes via IR to Helix XLR out for FOH/USB for recording
had to use an EBTech Hum Eliminator to break ground between Helix and amp instrument input but apart from that all good
how does the amp sound through the power station as opposed to just driving the cab from power amp?
Seems literally pointless if you can't hear any difference, no?

the routing is complex but once that’s patched up it’s done. Cable wise it’s still only 4cm and the EBTech can live in the rack case with the Power Station.
One rig for live, for direct and for recording.
(the power station will also double as an ever present back up, a compact rig with my Tech 21 RK5 and for a stereo rig into my 2x12 if I ever play gigs that call for it again)
What amp are you using? How does a Helix model of the amp compare?
im using a Cornford MK50ii, I have a few drive pedals on the board with Helix too. I didn’t buy Helix for the modelling, I bought it as a next hen G System but the modelling is handy too
its also exceptionally sensitive to different guitars. All my guitars sound great through my pedals with zero or minimal readjustment. Through the Cornford it can go from sonic nirvana to omg burn it very quickly
so so it’s nice to have a way to tame the beast and even get a bit of practice done through it at home for a change
I did wonder if i was being stuoid spending £700 on something that is first and foremost a way to attenuate another amp but after hearing the possibilities it has of turning my rig into a fender combo I’m starting to sit a little better with the purchase. The Cornford power amp always added a little too much “something” and although you could hear what it was meant to be never gave me that immediate “THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE” feeling running it through the PS did.
Looks like it needs to go back to L6 for repair..
Slightly pissed off but at the same time this unit has done a lot of gigs and has been used daily since I bought it when they 1st came out..
