Those receivers must predate me I guess. I come from the Boombox and Walkman generation

Yes, it is. Don't find it as often now, but it used to be on a LOT of home stereos.

And here I thought you were just being a smartass! I've never heard of a loudness control before

Because we are still here. I bet if no one replies he'll go away

You mean like a loudness control?

no I mean like a compensatory eq that changes as the output volume changes. Just dreamin' over here.

This came to mind this morning.. A fletcher-munson block...how cool would that be?

Man, you love getting involved in every bit of this crap that goes on around here, dont you. You just love being involved in any bickering orgoing back and forth, whatever. This forum, that forum, if theres drama involved, you are there!

In which other form have I been bickering? Sure I jump on this guy's back whenever he decides to change his name and crawl back out from under the rock of which his mother pays the rent, but come on...

 

Face it! You're jealous that you can't ward off the trolls as good as me! I deserve an award! :P

I do wish the admins here would be more heavy handed on stuff like this from time to time.

word

Tom Morrello uses a JCM800 and a variety of different 4x12 cabs. He had been known to not use anything too extravagant. Pitch wham, Wah, tremolo, script phaser. He uses an eq for a level boost for solos. He used a few effects from the Line6 FM4 that I own and love, that were modeled in the Pod HD series, but sadly left off of Helix...

 

I made a pretty good Misha Mansoor preset based off of a Sweetwater tone walk through he did. Panama into CaliV30/Match h30 dual cabs. Screamer and hard Gate out front. Paired with a clean twin with compression out front, modulated delay and cave verb out back.

I just want the new editor. These USB dropouts are killing my workflow

Because cabs in a room Rumble. Reflections bounce and give off high frequencies. Microphones pick all this up

This isn't your helix, this is a forum. Plus, I don't think your Helix would understand if you spoke to it anyway. Furthermore I don't think Helix knows when its update is coming out either.

Oh man, this thread delivers! Comedy gold!

Wait, are you accusing me of being a fraud? Because I'll have you know there is no greater compliment than that when it comes to replicating famous tones.

no, just full of sh!t

That would be absolutely hilarious if he and the original guy complaining about the Police tone ended up being Andy Summers...

or sad because Andy couldn't dial in his Helix to his satisfaction..

I'll use a touch of reverb on lead sounds, or reverb on spacey parts but that's about it.

And here's me thinking that I'd done you all a favour by tempting Murphy's law :-)

nah, only because DI mentioned reverbs coming out some time after winter NAMM in a recent interview. All you've done is make me jealous by doing yourself a favor :p

No link to preset, no actual demonstration of you playing here. Just a lot of horn-tootin.

Admit it, I've got the holy grail of tone down

Can you put down the lotion, sir?

This got real weird real quick...

All stereo effects remain stereo until summed up by Mono effect.

Normal. Always turn speakers off first.

If all else fails: Save the set list to your computer and rename it whatever you want. Reload it back into your Helix and the setlist will be renamed

Parametric EQ. Use the high cut parameter to roll back the high end. When your fizz disappears, stop rolling back. If you've cut out too much of your tone and it sounds unnatural, find the fizzy frequency with the Parametric EQ itself and scoop it out

Is your firmware up to date? That might help with the freezing. As far as your presets sounding thin, it's most likely because you're playing presets you made with headphones through PA speakers. Make your presets through similar speakers as the PA and at gig volume.

 

I've made the same deal with my "boss", heh..
