        What is the best way to use the H90 with Saxophone and Guitar (mic’d instrument and guitar).  I want them plugged in at the same time, but don’t necessarily need to play them at the same time (unless that is possible too).    I would like to use programs (2 presets) for all of my sounds so I don’t think “Dual Mode” will allow me to do that (as it seems that dual mode will only allow one preset at a time per input signal).  I imagine having a saxophone program that has the correct routing saved, and then switching to a guitar program that has the guitar input saved but I just can’t figure out how to do this. I have the Mixlink in case that helps will the best solution.

        Many thanks in advance!

          I’ll bet sax sounds great through an H90.  I don’t envy the complications that can arise with two mic’ed instrument in a live situation, but let’s assume a clean preamp’ed signal for each.

          Spitballing here, because I never used two instruments into one H90, without some kind of mixer & sends involved.  Easy to set up ‘one or the other, maybe both’ going through both Presets, but more hardware involved.

          You don’t mention stereo use, so I’m guessing one input for sax & the other for guitar in an Insert routing.  This might cause you issues with some effects, by pushing sax & guitar to the left & right inside further processing.

          What you could do with Insert routing is use the sax / Mixing Link in the main path, and use 3/4 as an insert to it with the guitar (or vice-versa).  That way, you have a lot of options for where you place the inserted instrument versus the Preset locations.

          Dual Routing could work.  Both Presets on one or the other path, baked into the Program itself.  That would involve switching between two Program semi-duplicates for instrument change-ups, but eliminates the ‘maybe both’ scenario.

          Or perhaps I’m just overthinking it (away from my H90s) and there’s a simpler method.  Certainly an active ABY switch or LS-2 before the inputs is another solution.
