DeceivedThrush

Bumpin' this one.. despite I'm finding my own way through stock cab sims (which are not as bad as I initially thought) I'm having very hard times in replicating a Dual Rectifier preset I made on Amplitube. I've managed to create quite a few presets for home playing but still there's this one preset I'm not able to match, even starting from same setup on Helix Native (Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Amp with 1xSM57 and 1xU87 miking 1 Celestion V30 speaker + 1 Brit Alnico Gold speaker). Is there a way/plugin that could be used to try matching the tone or is it something you got to do "by ear"?

On Helix Native it seems like presets are always modified if you create them with custom IRs and then move/change the IR *.wav files from their original position. I found a solution by creating presets with custom IRs and then renaming the IR *.wav file(s) with the number they have on IR list when I first created the preset. That way I can always change/modify the IR list and always be able to recall the original preset by re-importing its IR files placing them in the right position!

Hello everyone, I've been playing around quite a bit with the trial version of Helix Native and I'd like to know if anyone is experiencing hard times getting out some convincing high gain tones either with stock cabs or Ownhammer/Redwirez IRs. I know that "convincing tones" may sound silly because it's something highly subjective but I can't seem to make HN sound right to my ears.. There are always these annoying toppy-trebly frequencies I can't get rid of and even custom IRs the overall "body" of the tone just sounds too flat in respect, for example, to Amplitube Dual/Triple recto simulation. I'm assuming the core/modeling software is the same on both plugin and hardware vesion of Helix (maybe with the hardware version things are easier, with Tonematch?) but I still notice there's a huge difference between all Youtube demo videos and what I can get out of my speakers (btw, I'm using a Steinberg UR22 MKII audio interface with 2 Yamaha HS7 nearfield monitors, Hi-Z input source with guitar signal not clipping). Since no Tonematch function is available on the plugin version of HN (afaik) is there a particular method/suggestion you have used to at least get in the ballpark of these tones? Thanks!
