  1. I suggest saving the names of impulse responses that are used in a preset with the preset. This would make it possible for us to safely reorganize our IRs, which can become a real mess after several years! I wouldn’t mind having to reload the correct IR on an old preset, as long as I knew its name.
  2. I've got a coupe DXR 10s and the sub, which I use as pa on some gigs and just 1or2 dxrs for guitar on others. These cabs have an exceptionally hifi sound for their price. I love mine!
  3. I use 2 dxr10s and one sub for a full pa rig, or with an ensemble, I run one on the floor for myself, and if needed, the other aimed across the stage for the rest of the band. Sounds fantastic to me.
  4. Nice! I do a solo guitar arrangement of Leaves too. I liked the trem stuff.
  5. To get the lower fi delays, I'd put it in a separate path at 100% mix, followed by a dist pedal, then mix the return of the path to taste.
  6. I play covers, and with a very wide variety, but I don't try to cop original guitar tones. I go for approximations, but they're my sounds that I like for the particular song. I do use one particular preset for about half my tunes, and maybe 4 others for almost everything else.
  7. I have the opposite problem, where they don't show on the screen as active, when they are. Only sometimes, on certain patches.
  8. I made a video of how I use the Expression Pedal to control my lead and rhythm sounds and levels for live use. You may find it useful, especially if you are also a singer or just like convenience. If you want to take a closer look at the patch: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/2783919/ https://youtu.be/tEVdNJLDoQI
  9. If you're not playing out and just want true representation of helix at comfortable volume, I'd get one of these. Or two if you want to improve your studio, or play in stereo. http://www.equatoraudio.com/professional-monitor-reviews-s/12.htm
  10. Has anyone tried the Roland EV5? I have one of their vol pedals with the same design and it has been very reliable for years, so I'd be pretty confident about it not breaking down. I wonder if there is a simple mod I could do on the Roland vol pedal to make it an exp pedal?
  11. I've been working on my Helix acoustic patch, using one of the ubiquitous Taylor IRs, and this is the best I've gotten so far. I'm really curious to hear other people's best tones, for purposes of knowing how good it can sound and learning how to improve my own. This is an Eastman Grand Auditorium (similar to a Taylor, with a rather poor-sounding Fishman undersaddle piezo). I rolled off some highs and reduced the output on the guitar itself. Helix chain is: Graphic EQ, Taylor U87 IR, Parametric EQ, Deluxe Comp, Delay, Plate Reverb. I played a simple G, C, D strumming thing, with a little single note run at the end. This should be easy to duplicate. I'm mostly interested in optimizing the strumming sound, which I find to be the Achilles heel of most guitar pickup systems. If you have done some work on this type of patch and would like to share your sound in a clip, or have suggestions for how you get your best sound, please share! Thanks. https://soundcloud.com/billlorentzen/acoustic-patch-helix-u87-eastman
  12. You could certainly use helix as your single audio interface. I've found the challenge is to adjust to it conceptually, but it can prolly do most, if not all, of what you may need. For sure, you're going to like the amp sounds. I haven't done a comparison of converters vs my audio interface, and although I am an experienced audio engineer, I also know after 40 years as a working musician, my ears are no longer trustworthy for full frequency shootouts, but I can say I don't hear anything faulty about the helix converters.
  13. Everything he describes - the low end roll off, the knees, the sag - that's what I love about it.
