part 1 based on the famous "01A Son Of Plexi" factory preset + spank-5 model (quick on the fly comparison)

part 2 is under construction (focused on a-riff-by-riff comparison).

part 2a uploaded (focused on variax mags-riff-by-riff-comparison)

part 3 is also under construction (focused on guitar-volume-knob+pick-attack-sensitivity comparison).

u r welcome :)

...Because my HD500 does not do a good job of emulating a tube amplifier in terms of how it reacts to the volume control and pick attack....

true!

i'm working on it on part 3 of helix+jtv vs hd500+jtv comparison...

any sound samples?

bravo!

excellent job Aris !

...Slight patch-to-patch volume (not tone) levels will be a thing of the past for anyone lucky enough to own a Helix when they hit the shelves. Any volume variations between patches will be easily levelled with FEET on the fly while still playing the guitar in seconds.....

i can image the lucky ones tap-dancing while playing 'n singing!

wonderful show :D

et alors voila!  690 !!!!

:D :D :D

Hurghanico will be a Dreamliner soon...

This is a quick on the fly sound comparison btwn helix + hd500 using a jtv69s spank 5 position.

Patches used:
http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1103500/
http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1103502/
http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1103503/
All r based on the famous Son of Plexi factory preset.
Patches were set on the fly with minimal effort; if i have time I'll further tweak them 2 a full match with the helix sound...

I think with a little bit of global eq'ing, it wld b difficult 2 blind-recognize which is which :)

4 stereo paths.

good luck 'n keep on  ...poding 2 both of u...

hope u post some vid/sound samples...
