  1. And keep all boxes ticked for the drivers, even those you don't use, when reinstalling Edit. That was the solution when my friends Helix was not recognise by his PC. //Per

  2. I think people normally think of heavier, layered rhythm guitars when they think of these doubler effects, but I've had surprisingly good luck with it on cleaner parts. All the rhythm parts on this song, for example, were made using the Double Take. I like how it still sounds like a single guitar part, it kind of pushes it out to the far left and right sides.

  3. First post, i've got a Helix LT which I use for home playing. I currently don't own a 'proper amp', I only have a Vox Adio Air and a set of iLoud monitor speakers. The iLouds don't do the helix justice as the speakers are too small to have that proper amp feeling. The Adio is ok but starts to fart a bit at volume. I'm considering either a Headrush 108 or a Katana MkII 100. Headrush £100 cheaper but price isnt a concern. The room I play in isn't very big and its not set up acoustically. Fortunately its positioned in the house where I can make a fair amount of noise . Which would do the job better? The Headrush or the Katana?

  4. Btw, here is a page on how to fix the exception code you were getting in the Windows log excerpt you posted. https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/how-to-fix-error-code-0xc0000005-in-windows/

  5. I'm no expert by far and still learning everyday, but the "keep it simple" advice is the best you can get at the moment. Actually I just started over again creating basic presets for my needs and forced myself to keep the amount of blocks to a minimum so as to concentrate on the core tone (i.e. keep it simple). Once that is set you can move on to "more sophisticated" signal chains including parallel paths, all kinds of EQ blocks etc. etc. I'm not sure exactly what sound you're after, but try this: - In the signal in activate the noise gate and set the threshold at around 55 - 60 dB just to avoid some noise; not strictly needed. - Pick the RevvGen Red amp+cab combination - You may want to lower the gain slightly (my personal preference) - In the cab settings set the reflections to around 20 - 30 - Add a room reverb (reduce the mix to around 30% !!) after the amp/cab block This should get you a good starting point and should sound already pretty convincing. Next, tweak the EQ on the amp itself so that it sounds good together with your specific guitar. Be careful with treble and presence; at headphone volume levels you may feel the need to increase those and/or to decrease the mids, but once you get to high volumes the sound may get ear-piercingly harsh. From here you can go in many directions, but don't try them all at once. Options are endless, but the obvious ones to try first: - change the microphone and/or change the distance - change the cabinet - go for a dual cab or put two cabs in parallel paths with two of the same (or different ?) cabs, one mic'd with a SM57 the other with a R121 or R160 - .... and so on and so forth - Need a more tight bass for palm muting? Add a tube screamer with gain at 0 and tone/ volume to your liking right before the amp. Should work in my view ....

  6. Like you, I struggled at first with the Helix, but for me it was trying to get a good recorded tone. As @cruisinon2 mentioned above you have to adjust how you approach it vs a regular amp. Once I did that (and built my own patches) everything started to fall in line and now I’m incredibly happy with how my recordings sound. There’s a lot of great advice to be had on this form - take advantage of it :) I have the same headphones - MDR7506 - and really like them with the Helix. Good luck.

  8. I currently have this issue, have updated windows 10, uninstalled and reinstalled the Updater and the Licenser many times, have unplugged and replugged the helix after shutting it off, rebooting the computer, all sorts of things, can't get the Helix to be recognized by my computer... I have a kemper stage, I can plug it in and it gets recognized in 2 seconds, so i know its not my computer? Little frustrating. Please help.

  9. I had the same issue even after performing the factory reset so then I powered off and back on holding the 2 left foot switches and it rebuilt all the presets.
