I have several gigs coming up with my band HOWZAT and also with a Van Halen tribute act and I've been working like mad on my LIVE rig.
I went to our band's rehearsal room the other night where I can crank this stuff at stage volumes, as with working with any gear, the differences you hear at bedroom level and concert level are night and day. Even little things like delays and such can sound wonderful at home, but get onstage and with other instruments your tone may not be as good as what you heard at home.
In this video I was running my Line 6 Helix Floor in 4 cable method into the EVH 5150 Iconic amp.
I like the tone, however I think for LIVE (with Howzat) I will be using the EL34. For the Van Halen tribute I think I am going to be using Helix direct to the front of house as the guys in the band seem to like my Helix tone direct (PS you can purchase my Van Halen presets here: line6helixpresets.com/)
Audio is just from my iPhone, but should give you an idea. Thank you for watching!

Amazing rig Eric. I gigged my Helix ampless for several years, now I’m back to amps using the 4 cable method as well. Check into a Radial JDX48 direct box for front of house. Good luck with the band!

Niice Rig Eric! Awesome playing as well, dayyam! Very clever using that routing. Best wishes with the gig

Eric, I’d love your VH patches with updated cabs :) Sounds great dude!

As someone who has gigged most weekends in various sized venues with amps, modellers, cabs and no cabs I’ve gone back to using an amp and cab on stage. Occasionally pedal and occasionally 4CM with a processor depending on the gig. The convenience of a modeller is great but for me I was missing that little bit of oomph on stage. I don’t use I mic, I either use a two notes product or a palmer. Keeps the sound consistent. In your case you can use an IR from the Helix to FOH. Best of all worlds. Plus you can have a backup rig in the Helix on a different bank.

Thanks for the share! Yes, I missed the amps greatly, just so hard to beat. I've pretty much made up my mind for my original band "HOWZAT" I will be running the Helix rack in 4CM with the EL34 and 4x12. For the Van Halen tribute band I am working with, I "think" I am going to go Helix direct to FOH. The guys in the band seem to have really enjoyed my tone that way, so for now, I think that's my approach. Rehearsal time today so I'm looking forward to getting back in the room. Thanks for watching and the great insight as well.

@@musicgearnetwork Sounds like a plan. At the end of the day it's what works best for you and the band. A lot younger guys miss that trick. Unlike us old farts haha. All the best mate .

Great tones homie

Question, are you using a normal 1/4 in cable to switch the channels on the Iconic or you are using a TRS jack? Im assuming the helicopter is just set up to latch like and on and off switch?

Did you ever figure out how to stop the effects loop tone change? Have the same issue with 100w el34 and hx effects unit.

I thought you sold all your tube amps? The 5150 iconic sounds amazing better than the more expensive ones I reckon , the cleans alone are fantastic

@musicgearnetwork Год назад

I did get rid of them all but now acquiring many back. They work great in conjunction with modelers.

@Matthew_Scan Год назад

Have you tried the Boss EVH delay yet?

@musicgearnetwork Год назад

Nope, but have one on its way.

@stratmatt22 Год назад

Make sure the helix send and return is set to LINE level in the global settings for this amp. That fixed the tone change for me. Instrument level is too hot and hits the power amp different.

@metalsnake3557 Год назад

I'm thinking about buying iconic combo. Should I buy it even though I own 100 watt stealth and 50 watt 6L6 amps already

@musicgearnetwork Год назад

If you have the budget for it, sure why not. It’s a nice amp to have around. James Brown I believe the other day said there was a 15 watt version of the head coming out. Probably a lunchbox? Bug yeah I think you’d like the combo.

@damonstewart70 Год назад

Can you do a comparison between the iconic and the el34

@musicgearnetwork Год назад

For sure!
