Hello guys!
I've been reading this thread because I am lately thinking about selling most of my pedals and go with the Helix. The reason is that, even though I love pedals, I don't use most of them. In 99% of my gigs I only use HPF->LPF->Compressor->Overdrive->Tone Hammer DI. However, I like to experiment sometimes, so that's why I am thinking about the Helix. However, I have some doubts that I hope you guys could help me to solve.
I like the LT, but it is kinda big in the stages I usually play and I don't think I will use most of the features. So I am leaning towards the HX Stomp. To ones who use it or have experience with it
-Do you guys miss the DI out? Most of sound guys just use the DI out and assume it will be there.
-I have some pedals that I like, for instance, my Black big muff. The question is, using the FX send/return, can you place pedals in the middle of the chain? Mi idea would be: two different signal paths: the first one just the bass (maybe with a HPF). The second one: HX Stomp (Envelope Filter->Compressor->Octaver)->Pedals outside the HX like my Ampeg Scrambler or the EHX Big Muff->Return of the HX (Chorus->Bass amp and cab). Would it that be possible? I guess it is, but I'm not sure.
