Helix Double Bass

Has anyone used a Helix with their upright bass? Just for ease I’d rather just use one input and one channel in the desk but maybe I just need to have a separate DB setup. I bought Sigma Studio upright IRs but to me the sound is thin, wondered anyone had any advice.

You have options with Helix, depending on the impedance of the piezo..

If it’s passive then either use an fx return input or DI box into the DI. 

If it’s active then depending on the amp type, either the aux in, or the fx return will again work very well, as will the DI option. I’d avoid the guitar input as you’ll find it affects tone a lot.

Hi Bridgehouse thanks for the reply I'll try the Helix FX return.
