questions and answers
does the Helix LT sound the same as the Helix Floor?
Yes. It has the same engine, two paths, 32 block locations, models and DSP rules. You give up jacks and a couple of panel controls, not tone.
what's the difference between Helix LT and Helix Floor?
The LT drops the mic and aux inputs, halves the effects loops from four to two, has no S/PDIF, shares its one rear expression jack with amp switching, and has no separate headphone knob.
can I sing through a Helix LT?
Not directly: there is no mic input. The Helix Floor has one, and it is the main reason to pay the difference.
why did my Helix LT stop switching pedals?
It is in Preset mode. Press FS6, marked MODE.
how many snapshots does the Helix LT have?
Eight per preset, the same as the Floor and the Rack.
can I use a second expression pedal with a Helix LT?
Yes, in the EXP PEDAL 2 / EXT AMP jack. It is also the amp switching output, so you get one or the other.
why does turning my headphones down also turn the PA down?
The LT has one VOLUME knob covering the quarter-inch, XLR, phones, digital and USB 1/2 outputs. There is no separate headphone level.
what amp is Brit 2203 on the Helix LT?
A Marshall JCM-800, 100 watt, model 2203. The LT has the same 440 models as every other Helix.
why did my reverb cut off when I changed preset?
Preset changes unload and reload everything. Build the change as a snapshot instead, or turn on Preset Spillover (hold ACTION and press HOME) and give up Path 2.
can the Helix LT do the four-cable method?
Yes. It has two loops, and a four-cable rig needs one.
