How is that even possible? Would anyone force you to use them? No. So how could they turn you off?

If these would be priority, a pc editor would be secondary, or even never to happen. For me it is a turn off.

Τouch screen and mobile app, are turn off for me. More important is to have all amps and effects that are currently on helix, plus separate power amps to create my own amps.

And I though it was missing the the pushing air circling from the back of the canin to the tubes... 

Here it is. Try this. ANd seriously, it has the sound of the bright cap. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/6232510/

I looked up the guitar profiler. It is actually the ZT-1. The company has actual guitars that have the software installed like the Variax. It honestly (at least on the videos....) sounds better than the Variax, which leads me to believe that Line 6 could update their technology. I use the variax for  a sitar and some other stuff that sounds kind of ok. However, most of the models sound hollow and sterile. The XT-1, at least on the video really sounds like an actual guitar. I would have to play one in order to really see what it is like. Pretty much everything they sell, except the app, is out of stock though.

I have the XT1. And it is really better than the variax. It sounds like an actual guitar. It has really great acoustics. And can be used with any guitar. I have a JTV 69S, Variax 700 and variax 300. All collecting dust so far...

My jtv69 mags sound exactly the way I like a Strat to sound......however, the modeled sounds are waaaaaaay too mid-rangy for me. I've tried to mid-scoop the models

without any success. I'd like to get the models to sound as close to the mags as possible!   Any tips or patches (HD500x) to share?

 

Thanks!

What is this and were can i find it? Is it alsoon helix floor / native?

Hi there. My variax bass piezo is lower volume on the A string, i think it is dying. Can i replace it with my variax 300 guitar piezo? And if not what are the alternatives

Hi,

 

Mess around with this patch (Reamp+TalkBox.hlx) to see if its works for you. You guitar from the DAW comes in on USB 7 to path 1A. Change the amp and cab and FX to whatever you like best. The important bit is the FX Loop send to your hardware talk box (instrument level) and then the Mic you use with Talk tube comes in on path 1B  the gain block is off - it's just there to split the path) and goes into the cab, and your wet FX , then out on Multi which sends USB 1&2 processed audio back to the DAW to be recorded on USB 1&2.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Hi,

 

If this is a "real" hardware talk box, then the post from "brue58ski" above seems to cover getting the Mic input signal sorted out. It's just that you mention you want to re-amp some old solos, which I guess you will be playing back from a DAW on your computer? If that's the case you will need to set your old recorded guitar signal to play back out on USB 7 and set the Helix input to USB 7. Set the Helix Output to USB 1&2 and enable a track in your DAW to record the new talk box version fully processed.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Yes, that is exactly that! My question is, should i use the mic to output? and if yes what in - out should i choose?

Help! I recently added a talk box, in my helix, and want to reamp with it some old solos. What procedure should i follow? What ins and outs should i select on helix and program?

Man, what a great collection of tones! Thank you for your great work and for sharing for free!

That is normal behaviour sincMeatplow 2.hlxe you put it on parallel. One way to mute all, is to assign on the same footswitch, a volume effectb set to 0, on the other chain.

I love the bell-like, chimey sound of a les paul with both pickups on - like the sound of the intro to the Beach Boys "Surfin USA". ( I know it wasn't a Les Paul, but that's the sound)

The Variax 700 really nails this sound, but the JTV69 , at least the one that I am currently trying out, is lacking in this.  I know these JTV's have had numerous flash updates - did the HD update change the original JTV models?  Would the originals sound like the 700?

 

Thanks!

Yes they change. And some guitars are downgraded a bit conpared to the 700 imo. You can go back or you can download my ultimate bundle from here https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24065.0

Just subscribe and you gonna have a new and perfect jtv. .

I downloaded all of your stuff and I must say that I was in love with the Vox stuff you had,  reminded of early oasis..     I'm pleased to say the IR's were easy as well,  but I have a question for you brother...   I know you said that that stuff you shared with me was your presets and I'm thankful you shared this with me,  but since you crafted for live,   what sort of tweaks would need to be made on some of these to be suitable?  Is it more about the effects and compression than EQ?   I found myself getting lost in the Vox preset you had and found it close to being very suitable for a few of my tunes..    Just for the record,  I love good guitar tones,  but I'm more of a songwriter whom focuses on the production of songs as opposed to being overly anal about tones..  Heck,   I made it with my band using a stock rivera and a cabtone and marshall 4x12 (back in 04 mind you)

Welcome mate and i am happy you found something you enjoyed! As you said, it is more of effects since the compresion at the end of the chain should at least change from limit to compression, and reduce the threshold. The double tracker should be turned off, as well as the reverb. This is for the effects, the rest is eq....

Thanks brother..  Are these yours or just collected?   I just got unit and figuring out basic stuff at moment but I will try and figure out how to put the IR's in as well,  but I'll admit to not sure how to do it yet..    If I don't use an input pad on my guitar with EMG's  how do I find the input level meter to be sure it's not too hot?

Mine mate. Hope you will like them. To put the ir open helix edit at your pc, go to the IR tab, and drag and drop them. The other question already answered by silverhead. For my presets are mostly for studio recording sounds not for live, due to the use of reverb and double tracker, and extreme compression.

Download these for start. It is all amps with snapshots and custom irs , from clean to distortion 

nope. garbage before, garbage now. Unless the cabs redifined from 0, will alwys remain garbage

Honestly the disàppoinment you felt on axe 2 I get on hd500. It was advértised that you can create a chain as your heart desires. But I run out of dsp very quick, and to get a good sound you needed at least 2 eq in a 8 effects chain. As for the jcm 800, personal taste I agree with the op. The jam 800 of xt and x3 was really great sounding, as well as the modern high gain. I can not replicate these sounds on any other unit. 

I think it is possible if you synchronice the tempo with the song played.

Is this alive? None of them doesn't work. Where can I find those presets?

Hello it's not alive!! I uploaded a new one with ir and new amps inside. Check this instead https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k4d9xc5jjdvq2b6/AADTNr48c9RZ_x6X9JaOMX5Oa?dl=0

After updating to 3.1 does the Octoverb become weaker? Or is my mind? 

I guess it's the new parameteic equipment that everybody asked to be displayed. 

Just kidding, support ticket is the best you can do
