Oh I'm sure if you wanted to put together some spaghetti wiring to take the output from the Helix and route it back into an input through one of the signal chains you could come up with something if you wanted to tinker with it to get the i/o levelled out so the signal wouldn't get degraded or over saturated. You could pretend it's 1979 and you're making copies of cassette tapes!!! But it's probably not going to be as accurate, clean or as easy as simply importing and editing a digital copy of the music.

You're experience is needed here. Don't let a couple minor nuisances run you off.

GTR->HD GTR Input HD FX Send->AMP GTR Input AMP FX Send->HD FX Return HD 1/4 MAIN OUT (L or R)->AMP FX Return Insure you FX Block is on...Something like this happens when an amp has a parallel loop. You are sure it is serial? Usually a mix knob on the amp to serialize it...

I'm wondering if the OP meant the deep parameters, which always seem to be set to 5 out of 10, like Sag, and Bias, etc.. But to Cruisin's point, What do you mean OP? There are many threads on how to map an amp's controls to the controls Line 6 represents in their models. The controls line 6 gives should correspond to their counterparts on the real amps. Unfortunately, Line 6 had to make a choice, given that amps all have different names for their controls, even for different years of the same amps, they had to choose between copying the names from the amp, or choosing a sort of consistent naming convention between all amps. They've tried to match the names where they could, but sometimes they don't for the sake of interface consistency. They've also given us controls that some of the real amps don't have. For the most part, though, just about all the amps have most if not all the same controls as their real counterparts. So typically "Master" would be the Power amp volume control. Not all amps have this. For those that don't, Master should be set to 10 "Drive" corresponds to the pre-amp volume control on most amps, many times the only volume control on the amp (those without a Master Volume). "Volume" is a Line 6 gain control to help you balance the volume of the amps across multiple patches, and does not color the tone. Master and Drive do color the tone just like those controls do on the real amps. After that, you're on your own from amp to amp. So to answer your question, when you purchase a real amp, are the knob settings the closest possible? As far as how to set them up, it's highly recommended that you download the manual for the amp in question, and go to YouTube and find videos that show how different people like to set up their amps. Definitely check out HelixHelp.com Also go to TheGearPage forums and search for @benadrian's posts as well as @SHWang_Guitars, and of course Digital Igloo and Frank Ritchotte and Design Guy

u can re amp if you use helix as the interface

rhythm / lead of Malmsteen, Vai, or Satriani. Or just other generally awesome metal artists !

How about some of the early Testament stuff like "The new order" or even better "Practice what you preach" So good, very honest sounding and so overlooked. Peterson and skolnicks sound was quite unique at the time. Especially their clean sound.

Congrats Jon! I got an email from Ownhammer today saying you are on their staff now as Social Media Manager. I've always enjoyed your videos and find them useful and inspirational, so this is well-deserved I'm sure. Wish you the best!

What split did you use for James' tone and is it just an equal mix of both amps?

Andy Timmons!

Absolutely incorrect. Does NOT work with HX Effects for editing. Therefore it is useless.

Keep'em coming. Liked your Petrucci video too.

Great job man! I'm a huge Metallica fan and I will definitely include these on my presets collection. Thank you for sharing! And keep on sharing :)

This type of video tutorial is really cool. Thank you for making / posting. Keep up the good work.

Somebody had to do it! I installed a 9V to 5V DC converter inside the G10 receiver housing with a 2.1mm DC jack on the outside for powering via a pedal power supply.... The receiver draws 110mA @ 9VDC Please let me know if you have any questions seeya Joe
