Nah, not really. Cause I hardly switch pathces anymore. I got all I need in 1 patch. Same with my axe-fx. Just using scenes. Can't even say if my axe-fx has spill over. Definitively a gap in amps, but maybe the delay spill over. Don't remember.

Android? As in using you phone as a daw?

I'm struggling with my pedal. First of all I always have to make sure to bring it waaaay back, in order to make it mute, and then trying to use it to bring in a soft volume doesn't work. It goes from 0 to 10 way to fast.....if I'm lucky. Usually 0 is 10, so I sound like a smuck, and stopped using it:) Same with the whammy....I want it to be normal key, then bring it up an octave and back to normal...but normal is hardly ever back to normal...it's sharp by a few cents :-/
-
Word. The high end is easy to fix, but I find all of the amps too sloppy in the low end. I can make them tight and full of attack, as I do on my axe-fx.
-
I think you misunderstand. I don't do "drag and drop". I make patches from scratch all the time. I audition all amps, all cabs and if they are not sufficiant...IR's. What I am trying to say is that Singtall made some really good sounding patches on the amplifire. If I could get them, I wouldn't use any of them exactly like he's done it, but I would be curious to see what he's done to the setup. But maybe it's not doable on a helix, and the amplifire is just a better unit for that kinda sound. That's of course possible:)
-
Of course. It's a mid to high gain package. But it's very well done. And although I agree that the wide mix of styles in the presets are a nice offer from Line 6, I still have to say that I cannot make any of the amps sound like the amps in the amplifire video. I might suck at editing, but I get these sounds on my Axe-Fx...pretty close, but not on the helix. So yeah, would be curios to see what Singtall could come up with:)
-
I had to listen to this again. This guy really nails it. Makes me vert curious to try the Amplifire. So far, I haven't been able to make my Helix sound as good as this.
-
No. Is the manual on it? Haha...I never checked the drive...thought it was free commercial flash drive :D
-
Ah. Great. Just found the manual now. It wasn't delivered with my Helix, but I found a PDF online :-) Tnx!
-
Hm...but this sounds like parallell though, not all 4 in series? So, 1A with a chain (1B) and 2A with a chain (2B). I want guitar in -> A, B, C, D->output. But i'll check the unit tomorrow:)
-
Tnx. I don't have the unit here...usually in the tour bus. But I'll look at it :-) I've trying to get the signal to go to row 2 (out of 4), but haven't succeeded yet. Wonder how you can force it into 4 rows:)
-
I picked up my copy in a local store in Norway a few weeks ago. It was sold out in Oslo, but available in smaller cities. So that's my tip, call your local music stores in the country you live in :-)
-
I haven't played a mono rig in a decade or two. But I know that US and UK have a lot of crap FOH's, so maybe it depends om where you are in the world :-)
-
Good to know:) Is there any way of using all 4 rows as a signal chain (without using it as a parallell)?
-
Doesn't it? Works for me:)
-
Hell, yeah. He's good. I have no experience in the atomic amplifier, but that video made me wanna check it out. Curious to see what this guy could do with a Helix.
-
Not quite sure what you mean, but if you're thinking the typical 80's SPX90 pitch shift, then I think Glenn is pretty close in his patch. He talks about around 08:40. Can't remember where in the video he uses it, but you'll find it :)
-
My Keeley mod'ed Boss SD-1, maybe my Morley wah. i am also very fond of my EVH phaser and flanger, but if I can make the Helix provide the same effect, I can loose those. For now, it's not quite there yet. Chorus, tuner, octaver, delay, stuff like that is on sale ;)
-
Thanks for reply! :-)
-
I know. Good to hear ;)
-
"Hidden" as in most wah-wahs:) Step on it (y)
-
Are you sure? Works great for me. Check out the use of it around 20:00 in this video:
-
Hi! Anyone knows if the amp+cab blocks use less cpu than 1 amp and 1 cab block? Also, is an IR more cpu heavy than cabs? Even 1024? Best, Ken
-
Cool. What amp did you use in the first one?
-
Agree. It's nice to have the editor, when it arrives. But it is stupid easy to edit directly on the Helix. And I love that! I dig my Axe-fx, but editing is hell. Sure, the editor in nice (although way too many parameters), but doing ANYTHING live was impossible for me. Need more gain? Uh...wait a second, I'll just run to my hotel room and get my mac and open the editor. Bah :-P
