Hi guys;
After all the phenomenon Elixir has produced since it was released I decide to bet on it!! I was lucky to get one the GC. I'been playing for the last 20 year of my life, mostly in stages doing covers always using tubes amplifiers until now.
So far I have struggle to get a good tone at home' studio and in the rehearsal. Today I'm using the Helix trough the return of my valve amp (so there`s no gain or distortion there), and no cabinets selected in the mix, only using the real cabinets of my rig (4x12 Celestial Greenbacks). I feel the sound is way to crunchy and compressed, and considering that I'm only using volume, distortion and amp + delay, on my Helix line, but still no feeling good with the tone?
when I used amp+cabinets in the Helix, the tone gets more real..but there is a lack of presence in the tone to play live.
Can somebody help me..?? or share your experience..??
