What I do is a Y cable (2xIEC into one) so I only need one plug and put a gigrig distributor in to power my wireless, the Gunshot and my B9
Ahhhh the tuner
The gear page has a few people complaining about it
I think it's fine
It tunes the guitar and its easy to read
I've got good pitch and there is nothing wrong with it
I've had my issues but it is the best unit I have ever had (and I've had a lot)
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
No DC out.
Personally I've found the Helix great straight off - but I didn't listen to any presets, they're always awful in every unit. You might as well judge a stompbox by leaving all the knobs just as they are out of the box.
I built patches from scratch, starting simple, into my own speaker setup (pair of mid-sized monitors). I had sounds I liked in minutes.
Lots of delays, from basic to complex, and remember that the multiple paths mean you can do lots more by putting things in parallel, treating wet differently from dry and so on.
Worth checking this vid out.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
To be fair I never use presets anyway. I usually skip straight to blank patch on any digital/modelling/patchy thing I use anyway.
I'll keep my Cioks Adam power supply and a couple of drive pedals... got some tough decisions of which ones to keep ahead
I'll use it the amp sims mostly for recording but can see them getting used into the cornfords effects return for gainy sounds at bedroom levels (the Cornford is a nightmare for low level playing)
Not playing many Ceilidhs at the moment but will come in handy for both electric and acoustic and usually we just go straight to the desk for such gigs
I want to keep a few "proper" drive pedals for going into the amp, not really for using with the amp sims.

My backline bypasses the cab modelling but runs in stereo

I use the XLRs with the cab models for FOH
The big volume knob just controls the 1/4 outputs
How do you find the angle of the PT2 plus the Helix when using the expression pedal?
I worried about that but I'm used to wahs mounted on the board and functionally I can't say I notice a difference
I only use that pedal for a volume boost though (I put plus 7db on the outputs controlled by the exp) I had some overly complicated wah setup I've ditched and gone for a straight volume sweep
I never want a volume pedal from 0-100
I need 70-100 and I play at 70 and use the rest of the sweep depending on how much extra volume I need for solos or cool phrases
Did you see this from when I first got it?
It's evolved a bit from then but this was v2 of my main patch
