Cool, thanks for all the info.

Thanks for the tips. I found this in the manual, which talks about power tube issues: FUSE: This is the A.C.’s (Alternating Current) main fuse and provides protection from outside A .C. fluctuations as well as power tube failure damage. Should the FUSE blow, replace it with the same rating in a...

I'm using the nux on my Roadster. Seems to work fine. Yes, you have to figure out how your Helix will be sending the midi. And you have to program the nux to receive on the same midi channel on which the Helix is transmitting (or omni mode) and set it to latching mode. The nux responds to...

Turning it on in Spongy mode works fine. Yes, it's set to Standby when I fire it up. But when flipping it to bold to turn it on (the correct switch-on procedure according to the manual), the fuse blows after a few seconds. Ideas?

Wiser words have not been spoken. I lost track of what's what a long time ago. :cry:

>>All function working only pot mix are disconnected<< >>I hope to be state aid<< Can anyone clarify these statements?

Looks like the Slave jack won't work for you. From the manual: This 1/4" jack and control provide a signal derived from the speaker jack. Perfect for using either the DUAL or TRIPLE RECTIFIER Solo Head as a master pre-amp, or additional power amps may be connected for more power when needed...

I'd forgotten that the fuzzy sound was only with the loop engaged. That eliminates the possibility of the problem being at the input. Sorry. Sure sounds like something's broken in the amp. :( I'd think your best bet is to take it into a good, local guitar amp technician.

Are you certain you're sending a clean tone into the amp? Have you tried it with several different guitars? Also -- are you sure you're not overdriving the amp's input? All pedals turned off? Passive pickups on the guitar?

I don't know how the circuitry works, sorry. If you're getting a fuzzy clean channel for no good reason, I'd say there's something wrong with your amp. Mind sounds nice 'n' clean with the FX loop in our out. Your problem doesn't sound like it's related to the serial/parallel issue, BTW. Why...

I'd say no. I don't have fuzzy sound problem. The serial loop mod is alleged to be able to fix a "sound suck" issue that's about phase cancellation from a digitally processed (slightly delayed due to processing latency) signal in the FX loop mixing with some of the original dry signal. Realize...

If your footswitch effects loop in/out no longer works, you could try doing it with your effects unit. It would likely mean some customized patch programming where you turn off relevant effects with a foot tap on your effects unit instead. Or, more simply, you could have some patches that use...

Sorry to hear of your troubles. As long as your reverb is set to anything but 0 for the direct signal, you're likely to get tone suck (the reverb must also be AFTER the send/return in the FX chain). I just set up a couple new patches, and it worked fine. Why don't you try setting up a simple...

Happy to help. I hope that's what I'm doing. :) Do keep us posted. I still have a little trouble getting my head around it when programming the GT-10, but since you forced me to boil it down to something more-or-less bite-sized, hopefully, it'll be simpler in the future. :lol:

Yes, I'm using the 4-cable-method. You have to read the Boss user manual to get a grip on how to program the GT-10, but basically it comes down to being sure -- for any patch that you create -- that no effects in the internal effects chain POST the GT-10's send/return pass any dry signal, but...
