    Thanks for all that you do! This was helpful when improving the tonal quality from XLR-Out to PA or (FOH). I tested the options live; and found that the Cab-Out was best for my PA.

    Hi Doc. I made several rigs, some have stock cabs, some use ir's. I use my alt out to a clean Amp+cab for stage volume. Full rig (including cabsim or ir) goes thru XLR to foh. I can either select ir-in or cab-in as my alt output which means that if I select e.g. ir-in while a rig with cabsim is selected the cabsim goes to my real Amp+cab... And vice versa. I solved this by inserting a disabled ir in rigs that use stock cabs. Hope this makes sense and like to hear you opinion.

    Great video. Getting my Gigboard today. What's the best way to get a wet/dry configuration? I have two boss katanas and two Tech 21s. Not having the XLR outputs is a bummer.

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  6 років тому

      Marc Pike you would need to have your rig in a parallel configuration and then pan your paths hard left and right so one side is dry and the other side is wet. I will do a video on this. I haven’t messed with other rig configurations.

  • @MeTuLHeD

    These devices have given players SO many options...but they can also be confusing.
    In my experience (various Line 6 devices and a Zoom Gn5) if you go out to a powered speaker you will want to feed the full rig to the output as most powered speakers are designed to reproduce full range sound. In fact, I play with a guitarist currently who runs a Line 6 Firehawk FX out to two Alto two way speakers and it sounds fantastic. I have become convinced that full range powered speakers are the way to go for amplifying modelers on stage. Really HD sound. And to those who say these don't cut through a band mix live...I call bull. Tim's rig is plenty loud and easily competes with my drums and our bassist's Mesa Boogie rig.

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  6 років тому

      Yep, FRFR speakers sound great and are an excellent option. Im sure in the full band mix it sounds fantastic.

    • @MeTuLHeD
      @MeTuLHeD 6 років тому

      It does. He has two of them so it's a stereo rig. He turns them back toward himself like wedge monitors and feeds the XLR outs to the FoH. Best guitar sound I have ever heard on stage in my 40+ years of semi-pro playing.

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  5 років тому

      There is not an Alt Output option for the Gigboard. You could always use an IR pedal to send out of the Headphones and then use the Main outs to go to an amp with no IR or Cab in the digital chain.

      Yes you need to set the input of one of your tracks two the Low Input I think it’s called. Whatever is the input that is not the first two. That will give you the direct signal that you can later Reamp.

    Hi Doc. Love your channel. Helps out a lot especially when I don’t have a lot of time to mess around with settings! Got a quick question for you. Getting ready for a gig, wondering how I should set my alternate output source. Running Headrush FRFR for my stage sound and 1/4 to XLR to Mackie 2x250 non stereo powered PA for front of house. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  6 років тому

      If you are going to an FRFR on Stage and still going to the house then i would use the 1/4 in RIG mode so the front of house still gets the full rig sound. If you were using a real amp on stage then thats when I would use the 1/4 in Alt output mode effectively bypassing the cab/IR.

    Sorry kind of confused on how to set my alternate output - my rig is a Peavey 6505 to it’s own orange cab - I use 4 cable method so I’m using the headrush just for effects - So I need my whole rigs plus an IR to go to the pa through xlr out and that same exact rig to the amp minus the IR our from the amp output of the board .. what would my alternate output settings be ?

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  4 роки тому +1

      Assuming you are using the IR 1024 file size your Alt Output source needs to be set to Input IR 1024. This will send the full signal out of the XLR when the XLR out is set to Rig and pass the full rig minus the IR when 1/4 Out is set to Alt.

    So to be clear. In my situation, I run it into a FRFR Headrush and XLR to FOH. I set it to CAB out and leave the XLR on RIG? ALT OUT to RIG? I also connect into FRFR from Phones out, as per your advice. that is RIG also, to get all the effects? Thanks in advance

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  5 років тому +1

      Everything is set to rig unless you are using a real amp. You wouldn't want the Cab/IR going to your real amp so therefore you would set the 1/4 out to Alt and the source would be Cab/IR Input. This will bypass the cab in the Headrush but still send the rest of the chain. Keep it simple. Just use the XLR of the HR to FOH and the Phones out to FRFR.

    Hi Doc, thanks for the explaination. Can you tell me if its possible to use the HR as a headphone amp? I.e, can I take a feed from an aux send from the mixer and put it into the fx return or aux in and route that to the headphone out without it going to FOH so I can send a full mix to my in ear monitors? I know this is possible in Helix, Im hoping I can do something similar with HR.

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios

    • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios
      @DoctorMcFarlandStudios  6 років тому

      First you will want to add the FX block into your chain to use the 4CM properly. I guess if you were to use your XLR outs to run to the mixing board you could just set the XLR OUT to RIG. If you are using a real cab then I would have your 1/4 outs set to ALT rig and the output source being the Cab or IR input depending on if you are using a cab or an IR. I did live video on youtube showing how to setup the 4CM with a real amp. I would check that one out as well.
