  1. Sounds superb on its own, absolutely amazing, just that Amp Sim sounds rubbish, really muffled, i have the benefit of having a Mac machine and on that it sounds better but not amazingly better, but i did try using Scuffham S Gear through both and it sound infinitely better when using my Mac machine, something is not right on the Helix, i will keep messing around and trying to get it sounding good, i appreciate all the help, many thanks indeed

    Mine sounds fine with your configuration.

    Don't know if it will help, but the attached file came from IK Support. Install it here:

     

    C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\IK Multimedia\AmpliTube 5.

     

    Then reboot and restart AT5.

     isn't  that for a HX Stomp?

     

    Thanks for all the replies

  3. So i have been messing around with a few amp sims and they just dont sound good at all with the Helix, i see many youtube videos of people playing with them and yes i know there could be post edit going on, mine sounds dreadful

    I will just stick with Amplitube 5 so we all know where we are, i have Guitar ----- then USB 3/4 ----------- then USB 3/4 -----------  XLR on the Helix

    In amplitube i have input L&R  as 3/4 and Output L&R as 3/4 

    The guitar impedance in helix is Auto

    Global EQ is off

     

    I just cant seem to get Amplitube 5 sounding good, it sounds kinda muffled is the best way to describe it

     

    Can someone post some easy to follow settings for the Helix and the Amp Sim so i can try them and see if it makes a difference, if you could show screenshots that would be insanely helpful

     

    Thanks Dan 

     

  4. I am wondering if i should be using any particular settings with the PowerCab 

     

    I use "Line" when using my Monitor speakers but was curious if i should switch to "instrument" when plugged into the PowerCab , i am using the 1/4 out on the back of Helix (Mono) 

     

    Are there any other things i should be doing  ?

    I have the Normal PowerCab and not the + 

     

    Haven't really had a lot of time to play with it yet but have this weekend free and thought i would ask the more knowledgeable people on this forum for Tips 

     

    Thanks

  5. I have tried FireFox now also and i get the same error on that browser as well. Can someone please help  ?

     

    I have cleared cache and browsing history on both browsers but get "Internal server error" when clicking on a tone 

     

    Ok so i connected to my VPN with a UK server and it works, My ISP is BT (uk) and they must be blocking the Custom Tone site 

     

    Why  ?

     

     

  6. Just got a patch off Custom Tone, totally love it , for me and what i enjoy noodling with its just perfect,i would like to thank the author but clicking their name just brings up all the other stuff they've created.

    Is there a way i can find their profile  ?

    Sorry for the noob question but this patch is just brilliant 

     

    The authors name is "PeterHamm" and that patch was called - M_Tc_Uv_Ht_Wexp1 , i,m playing it with a Strat,yeah i like it haha

    I used to own the DT25 as part of "The Dream Rig" set up with variax JTV59 and HD500 and after messing about with it came to the conclusion that if you wanted the HD500 to sound the same as you are hearing out of the headphones or powered monitors at home then connect from the 1/4" out to fx return on the amp.

     

    Ok what is the name of this cable  ? is it the same as the one mentioned above  ?

     

    I have my tones perfect coming out of my Studio monitor speakers, just want to transfer that sound to the DT25. 

    i am fine having just the one patch at a time and leaving the other channels on the Amp to whatever they are now. 

     

    I have also got DTEdit installed , just need to check my Midi Interface works when the Amp and Cab arrive and thats sorted, just the cables now to send Helix to that Amp and have it reproduce exactly what the Helix produces without any of its inbuilt modelling 

     

     

     

  8. Hi,

    thanks for reading, i am about to take delivery of a DT25 and the matching cab on Wednesday , i have lots of questions but will just ask the most important ones for now 

     

    I want to connect my Helix Rack to the Amp , and use my Presets , i don't want any of the effects on the Amp to get in the way of what the Helix is doing 

     

    So how do i connect them and achieve that  ?

     

    Also is it necessary to use the official Line 6 link cable  ? seems to be quite expensive for what it is 

     

    Anyway ,. thanks for any help i get

  9. I must have not explained myself very well , i dont get lag while recording, i am talking about actually pressing the Record button , i do not use the monitoring of the DAW , i monitor through the Helix , it is causing the DAW to lag , usually when i arm a track , its instant , but with the Helix as my interface ,there is a lag 

     

    Where as before,when i was using the Presonus USB interface there was no lag from when i press the button to arm a track and the track actually being armed. 

     

  10. So it seems to be one specific area that i get the lag, whenever i arm a track in Sonar platinum or Studio one 3 pro i get a slight delay/lag, when i was using my presonus USB audio interface i never got this lag at all

    One weird thing is that if i use Reaper,i do not get any lag at all, i am using the latest driver for the Helix and it is up to date firmware i am using

     

    Why is it doing this  ?

     

  11. So i took delivery of my Helix Rack today and spent all morning playing around with it , had to use a headset plugged into the helix as my monitor speakers do not arrive until tomorrow morning, anyway i open up Studio one 3 pro and make sure Helix is the interface,create a track and press the track monitoring button in Studio one , all i heard was static and noise, a signal is getting into studio one but i was unable to monitor it in my headset (maybe this is because i had the headset plugged into my Helix rack ) no idea

    I have also gone into windows sound settings and made sure the Helix has 24bit 44000Hz selected,which is what i record with 

    The funny thing is , i opened Sonar Platinum and that worked fine , albeit very laggy which is unusual as when i was using a Presonus Usb interface it never lagged at all 

     

    I,m pretty sure i need to change some settings maybe on the Rack before i open a DAW or something  ?

    The other quick question is , when i get my Monitor speakers tomorrow , can i have all pc audio coming out of them ,even though they will be connected to the Rack and if i can , then what do i need to do  ? 

    Dont really want the full display active while say i am watching Netflix on the bed haha

     

    I will keep an eye on this thread so i can reply as fast as possible to any questions

     

    Thanks for reading
