So I'm new to the forum, but alas I'm in the market for a new amp and the 2c is the frontrunner for switching from SS to tube sweetness. I'm trying to understand though how the amp's midi capability works with midi enabled devices. Forgive me, I'm uneducated as to how this charade works.
I am really interested in running the JP-2C with the floor model line 6 helix to use for rig control and handling most effects like modulation (delays, flanger, chorus, etc) but using pedals for slightly overdriven tones to use on top of a dry ch. 1 signal. I'll be using a strymon sunset for getting light gain sounds with ch. 1, a tubescreamer as a boost, and a wah outside of the helix (oh and a tuner). Does the 4cm have to be used to achieve this or do you simply need 2 midi cables for send/return between the 2c and helix and then run the strymon in the loops of the helix? I'd want to run the guitar through the wah, tube screamer, and tuner directly to the front of the amp and have the helix control everything else (channel switching, patches, setting the strymon to use with ch. 1 a certain way, etc). Sorry if this seems convoluted, I just want to make sure I understand how this all works.
