OwnHammer only does speaker/mic IR's, not amp modeling...that's up to Line 6 to take care of. Line 6 is busy with the amp/effect modeling. I don't think they're interested in the IR's...and I'm fine with that, as long as we can load third-party IR's, that's cool! Rock on, Scott.

Hi, No, I didn't work out a deal with Ownhammer...I did speak with Kevin (he runs OwnHammer), very nice guy. I had questions about the different IR packs, and he gave me the scoop on how they worked, which was helpful. The IR is simply a replacement for the Helix's built-in cabs...they're digital snapshots of a mic in a front of a cabinet. So, for example, the OH 412 MAR-CB V30 121-FRED, OH (OwnHammer), 412 MAR-CB (4x12 vintage Marshall 1960b checkerboard cabinet), V30 (Celestion Vintage 30), 121 (Royer 121 ribbon mic), and FRED (Studio Fredman 45 technique, placing mic at the center of the speaker, at a 45 degree angle). My personal favorite IR packs are the 412 MAR-CB, 412 DZL-RL, 412 ENG, 410 SPRVRB, 212 VX30, and 212 MAR-66...my favorite IR's are the 121-FRED, 160-FRED, 70-FRED, and 414-FRED...hard to go wrong with those. Rock on, Scott.

I figured it out...I didn't know that I needed a 1/4" plug connected and the volume turned up...first day problem! Thanks for the tip! Rock on, Scott.

Hey guys, I just got a JTV-59 yesterday, and I'm trying to get the Workbench software to sync with the guitar, but, no dice. Any thoughts? Thanks, Scott.

If a Helix II comes out in the next three and a half years, I will feel completely ripped off! That's the kind of move Fractal has been pulling, I really hope Line 6 doesn't go down that road.

I'd love to see (and hear) a Helix in action. If you're coming to Austin this week for the big festival, let me know. TheHelixChannel@gmail.com Rock on, Scott.
