Strat sounds more like the record to me. Love your videos. So down to earth. Concise. Relevant. Really clear explanations. I’ve learned a ton about helix and music. Always time well spent . Thanks for taking the time and sharing your experience.
I’ve been pouring over this solo sound for years and I have to say great work man. Closest I’ve heard by far. Tasteful playing too. Nothing too flash to ruin it. Great job 👍
Thanks 🙏! Went and picked up a Helix ( in limited edition blue ; 0 ) and your preset was the first thing I loaded. Wow, I’m actually playing the riff now, amazing how much having things sound correct help get the feel... you’re awesome man, thanks for sharing this, put a smile on my face ear to ear, no joke. Been chasing Gilmore tone with stomp boxes forever, never got close...
Wow, I am now a fan. this patch is just inspiring. makes me soar. great way to pick up this most classic of solos. thanks. saw you rock out at Santa Cruz before the pandemic. i knew you had the feeling, didn't know you had the tech in your pocket too.
Prefaced by: I do not have Helix, and have not heard of it before today. I've respected you since I found you on YT. This is just incredible attention to detail, though. Awesome insight into how the sound is made, and extrapolatable to NI GR5 or OverLoud TH2/TH3. Lots of cool insight into how to arrange things, even *not* for that exact song.
Thank you so much for sharing your patches, I download it and it kicks ass! Also you do a awesome jobs with all your videos and love your band geek material. Cheers from Maryland.
Great vid. Sweet tone. I keep shying away from the variax, but when I see you playing it, I get curious again. Do you use it often? And for what kind of thing? (I'm a veteran working guitarist - you know what that entails.)
David Gilmour’s guitar solos in Comfortably Numb are my all time favourites! The emotion, the tone, the cries, bring me to another place. Richie you have mastered these. I would love to hear your cover of this song in its entirety! Where can I find it? Thx!
Excellent work Richie, my JTV 59 sounds a bit different even using the spank models but I am very grateful for your work on this. You provide excellent content across the board - thanks!
Freebird! Ha...... nice job with the preset. The strat sounded much better. I’m planning on getting a helix and looking at reviews. Seems like a really versatile guitar processor.
Thank You so much for this. been working on learning it plan to do a recorded Video . I'm pretty much brand new to this Guitar recording but between you and my good friend who's helping I very happy.
That is a very decent patch....Using it for Time solo as well......a couple of tweaks and it is good even with my Hagstrom Swede with humbuckers...........thx Richie.....
The strat is way better, but I think you have a tad too much gain or boost. There was a little fizziness to it, maybe more mids would help. Sounds great though!!
Thank you Richie love your videos, I've just started to play again I have a hotrod deluxe with a HSS start would you recommend the hx effects I'm not really a tech guy. Is it easy to use as I've always been a pedal guy. Loved to video with your dad. Thank you John from Ireland 🇮🇪
I just added it last minute. I was really missing something, so I went back and listened to the original and heard the harmony. It might be coming from an instrument in the orchestra, but this solution works too.
Hi Richie, nice presentation. I have not played a guitar in years and as you know, equipment has changed drastically. I have always loved the sound from comfortable numb. Please tell me the equipment I need to sound like this. Thanks.
Hi Richie, very good Helix preset for this song, thanks a lot for sharing it ! I see in the preset that there is an IR but can't find it anywhere, please can you tell where I can download it please ?
hey Richie really awesome job. Question, where do you set the input impedance and or are there any other settings that are not captured when you upload?
Hey Richie awesome tutorial as always. Any chance of u doing a tutorial based on the new firmware update with all the Legacy effects? Like a comparison between the new Legacy tube screamer vs the mono screamer etc. Curious to see ur take on this.
sounded real good richie,Im really liking the helix but still a little out of my budget.im wanting to buy a line6 hd500x or a boss gt100.is the hd500 real close to the helix,hopefully you get time to get back with me,Ive ask you about a couple weeks ago and hadnt heard back but I understand how busy you get and dont have time to answer everybody,keep rocking.
I'm unclear....when you split the signal path, you have a part of your guitar tone that's not going into the IR. So that part of the sound is being blended in without any speaker emulation?
Great work Richie, sorry i ask you because I m new using guitars and effects, If i use a guitar is not the ones you using in this video is there a lot difference to the sound i get from the patch directly ?? does the guitar change much the tone ? thanks
this sounds fantastic...except my Suhr can't rap the grit that fender is throwing out there..just sounds kinda muddy and distorted....just can't hear that edge..maybe its time to dump the Suhr for a Fender..lol
The second solo goes into overdrive so what would you recommend I add/change to get that sound. I've had the helix about a month now but due to work have only spent about a week with it. It's simple yet incredibly complex at the same time 😂
Hi Richie I was going to buy some ownhammer IRs including the ones you often use But on Their site they have a lot of bundles and it’s not easy to find what you need Could you tell me which bundle(s) you purchase from them ??? Thanks in advance Best wishes for you and the band geek gang
By the way I downloaded this and with a slight tweaking for my Fender Strat it sounds fantastic. Thanks! Any suggestions for the rest of the songs guitar tones? It would be great to create a Gilmour preset complete with separate snapshots for different sections. Should I just pull back some on the gains and tweak within the parameters? Any input would be appreciated.
Hi Ritchie, I would like to transpose your presset on a PODGO. But there is only one DSP ... What effect I have to keep in the presset to be close to this sound ? I can add some external pedals ... Thanks . Olivier
