Line 6 Helix LT - Setting up a go to P&W rig! 

Estevan Garcia it makes us better because it's challenging and you have to be ready for anything but, man, I love being prepared.

Man that’s crazy. I schedule my team out a month at a time and give them 2 weeks notice. Lol

That’s Passion and Warfare you’re thinking of haha

I know Im randomly asking but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

@Benedict Samir instablaster :)

Fabien Roblou Thanks as always, I appreciate your encouragements. Rock on!!

dickjonesify I agree, I was going for an over the shoulder shot and it just didn't turn out like I though it would.

cody elswick are you still loving it? How long have you been playing the helix as your main board? Are you using custom IRs at all?

ToneJunkie TV absolutely crazy about it. Both the Suhr and the Helix. I'm on week 3 going in to week 4 with the Helix. Super simple, easy to pack. Don't have to worry about packing an amp back and forth. Perfect for what I need. I haven't had a chance to use any custom IRs. Any recommendations?

cody elswick I'm planning on trying some celestion and or ownhammer IRs.

Are you satisfied with the sound? Can you do absolutely everything you did with the other oedalsnkn just that one unit and sounding as good?

Love your channel bro. This time last year I sold my huge PT Pro, Boss ES-8 and all my pedals cause I was so tired if lugging it around. Got the original Helix and loved how easy it was to program and did use IRs. After a few months I kinda was jonesin for a pedalboard/amp setup so I sold the Helix and got a little PT Metro 24 board with two drives and Strymon Timeline/Big Sky. Love the sounds I get but sometimes miss features like snapshots for quick song transitions. Hmmm maybe do a hybrid setup that incorporates Helix and control the Strymon stuff via MIDI. I think that verbs in the Helix are pretty good but obviously not as lush as Big Sky.

Oops, just realized you know you can turn it off. haha

Southardknives I'll be talking about the two units in some upcoming videos. The Kemper wins in terms of sound quality if you grab some great profiles from someone like mbritt. I'm definitely not selling my Kemper!

Southardknives I have both. Neither beats my amps but I seem to like the Helix better. My kemper is just meh.

ptrisonic sorry

Now on long fuze... You’re OK but I wanted to watch the LT and it kept going into and out of focus - as it switched to the headstock. great idea for a movie though!

Hi Ron! No sir! No post Eq and nothing else in the signal chain. It may be possible that I have edited the default amp eqs. I'm not sure how I did that but those amp sounds are just what pulls up when I select them. I do find that Line 6 puts in horrible default settings on their stuff. Everything is usually set to 5. Try roll up the presence on the amp model or try to brighten the microphone in the cab or amp+cab block. That would be a good way to get rid of a muffled sound. The only compression or anything applied post would be the youtube compression.

Joseph Chong No sorry, but you should be able to find build them like I did in the video. I may try to make out some up in the future.

JPG Music I use an alto ts212 with my helix. Guitar center has it for $299. I’m happy with mine.

lol

The comment I was looking for!!!

So, the amp is set so that if you play harder, it starts to overdrive, but if you play lightly or turn down the volume on your guitar, it cleans up. We call that “edge of breakup.” He just used the stock amp settings, and ran boost type overdrive pedals into the front of the amp to get the gain sound. Then the delay and reverb went after the amp so they sound cleaner.

Nora Lasher hi Nora! I was running the helix directly into a Scarlett 2i2 interface into a MacBook Pro running Reaper.

Are you hearing it with just studio monitors? Which ones do you use?

Christopher Scott Hi Chris! I was using a Friedman ASM 12 monitor to monitor my sound in the room. The audio in the video is direct from the helix to a Scarlett 2i2 into the DAW.

I was just using cheap computer speakers, but it sounded great!

telestory Thanks!

Yes, typical delays and verbs are kept after gain stages. Practically speaking we run them in front of clean amps and run gain pedals before it and it sounds fine. I do it all the time. Effects loop help put delays and reverbs after any overdrive and distortion happening in the pre amp stage, but many times in a studio environment a producer will record a guitar relatively dry and add effects in post as to bypass any and all break up in the signal so the delays and reverbs are kept free from coloration from added gain preceding them in the signal chain. What I built here would be like adding the delay and reverb in post which is generally regarded as the cleanest way to add them but had I put them between the amp and cab like an effects loop it probably would have sounded indistinguishable. Running them in from of the amp would have caused some mud and more break up in the amp block since this amp model was a little broken up. Of course lots of rock greats have run delays and verbs in front of dirty amps and it has gotten a different sound.

ToneJunkie TV thanks for the response! I’m selling a lot of my gear to get a Helix LT. When I do, I’ll experiment with the different orders like that! Thanks!

Because it’s the way it should be to sound correct ..

Cat Sven no such thing as correct. I adore the sound of a delay running into a dirty amp.

Valiant Broussard something very similar to "desert song" by hillsong

Sounded like "Hosanna" by Hillsong to me.

Oops you're right it's Hosanna by hillsong

Lion and the Lamb by Bethel

thank you!!

Capter of Sin!!!

Go fuck you're self.

@@luisLopez-uz3mv go fuck you are self. Lol!
