  1. The Deuce Deluxe are powered FRFR speakers which can be used with bass guitars. It has a 12” speaker and a defeatable tweeter.
  2. I have a Helix floor and use Tech 21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxes times 2. The room I have my equipment in is about 10 by 12 feet. The PEDD has a bass port in back and is totally enclosed. Since the room is so small I have to put the speakers fairly close to the wall and know this will enhance the bass and midrange boominess. The speakers has an active eq which can cut b, m, and t by 12 db. Also the Helix has a global eq and eqs in every preset. I play guitars with both single coils and humbuckers pickups. So my question is should I eq from the speaker, use global eq in Helix, or just eq each preset. Thanks!
  3. Do I need to run a B channel parallel with the A channel to have the 2 outputs? How would I set the crossover?
  4. I have a Taylor acoustic guitar that I want to run into two Tech 21 Power engine Deuce Deluxe FRFR speakers. I am not sure how to set up my Helix Floor to do this. How would my preset look?
  5. I have a standard and I connect it with the variax cable to the helix. I can’t use the tuner on the helix since it can’t find the signal. What should I do? What is the best way to palm mute on the standard to mute unwanted strings? I play slide and this is necessary for my style. What is the best way to get a Gibson SG. I like the Derek Trucks sound. Thanks!
  6. Thanks for the input. This is great feedback!
  7. I am trying to develop a preset that gets me close to the Derek Trucks sound. He uses a cranked Fender Super Reverb so the closest amp model is a Twin Reverb. I want to get the clean, long lasting sustain that he gets with the cranked amp. I am playing a Gibson LP Classic Premium Plus with Classic burst buckets. I only have the amp, a 2 by 12 cab and a 4 by 10 cab. Also I end up with a 63 Spring Reverb. DT can sustain notes and get 4-5 notes to sound when he plays slide on one string. When I try to do this, I get about 2-3 notes and they trail off pretty quick. He does not use any affects to get his sound. So I am hoping to emulate this. So here are my settings so for: Gain 8, bass, 2, mid 3, and treble 8. Presence is at 8 also. Master is on 10. The preset sound pretty good, but like I said the sustain is not quite there. By the way I am playing thru a Tech 21 Deuce Deluxe Power Engine. The volume is close to the top. Any ideas as indicated I am not looking to add pedals.
  8. I have a 2015 American Standard Strat with Fat 50s pickups. I love the sound of this guitar. Lately it seems that the D and G strings have a compressed sound when I play single note leads. I have a preset with a plexi Marshall amp set with two speaker cabs. When I play chords I don’t hear the compressed tone. Any ideas?
  9. For my birthday I splurged and bought a pair of the Deuce Deluxes. These were affordable to me. Both look really cool (like little amp cabs). They are FRFR and have a tweeter that can be switched on or off. Included is a of and hf cut. I will need to tweak my presets, but really like what I am hearing.
  10. Hello I have a Epiphone houndog dobro guitar that I want to run through the Helix. Are there any irs for resonator guitars? If not can I use an accustic guitar ir and just let the resonator tone make the difference. Just asking
  11. Another 4 cable method posting. I. Am using a Trademark 60 in 4 cable method (Fender HRDlx in shop). I set up amp to my liking. I was able to balance the signal to amp with helix to amp. Then I put a Essex AC 30 preamp in chain by affects S/R. I was not able to balance the volume between preamp model and the amp (turned up return gain did not help). Then use Ac 30 amp and now was able to get close by using channel volume. I did not want to increase drive to raise the volume. The amp without cab sounds good thru the TM 60. Am I on the right path? Any tips?
  12. I was wondering if there is a way to simulate an accustic guitar with my Fender Strat. The Boss GT 100 had this feature and it was cool.
  13. I am wondering it I should use a cab when plugging into T21 PE or should I just use an amp model. What are pros and cons of using a cab vs not using one? Thanks

    EC Badge

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to set up a preset for Eric Clapton’s song Badge? I am especially looking for the part that George Harrison wrote with the Leslie effect and I am assuming wah pedal.
  15. No I am not using it to toggle channels. Just to run HRD in the s/r and have aHelix model (Marshall Plexi Bright). I am working on an Allman Brothers from Philmore East sound).
