when comparing my real JVM to helix marshall, that the poweramp on the helix is compressing too much to soon. Lowering the master @4 get rid of that. Also, when I matched my amp, I used Ozone 5 in matcheq, playing open chord on my marshall and helix and matched from their to see eq curve. I compensate with eq after the amp block. That's sound quite indistinguishible this way
Nice one! Adjusting the master volume can greatly impact the headroom of an amp in the Helix. This was more of a quick, out of the box comparison between the two units. Thanks for watching!
Yeah: why for me playing live and recording are SO different and require different approaches. Most mixing of heavy saturation in a band setup is dialing back the EQ resonances that sound so good when solo'd on the desk or in a live room. Production is the art of reduction. If a box/plugin can do that it saves alot of work and as you say - our ears - all about context - the captorx is a great piece of kit if you already have a good amp head
That's why I like the Stomp so much. The Marshall sounds amazing and raw, but has to be contained a lot more to fit in the context of a modern song I've found - in both live and recording scenarios. Can be a good or a bad thing depending on what's needed! The Stomp can sound great right out of the box with some high and low pass filters too 🤘 If I had filtered these guitars a little bit, I think the difference would have been even more negligible. Cheers for watching and your comment! 🤘
I don't have the Captor anymore to do a fair comparison, but I agree the Way Huge in front of the HX would have made a difference! I also wanted to compare an all HX setup to an analogue setup.
Really helpful, Thanks sean :D I really want to see you use your hx preset with Settle Down ( the 1975 ) for guitar production tutorial. It’s nice to learn with this song :)
@@seanmurrayguitar hey man! Got them; they’re killer! Also bought your presets and I’m really digging them, especially the blend drive works wonderfully with my tele. Thanks a lot!
Cheers for watching Joao. I think in this particular test, I agree. I didn't mention it in the video, but I think a lot of it came down to the Green Rhino leaving a lot more of the clean signal through than the Scream 808 on the stomp, making the HX more saturated. 2 slightly different TS pedal variants, and only splitting hairs! Both incredible sounds! 🤘🤘
After further testing, I think the Green Rhino had a lot to play! It definitely leaves a lot more of the clean signal through to my ears which helps with the clarity and pick attack. Thanks for watching! 🤘
