  1. Thank you for your input. I basically bought the Beyerdynamic headphones as per lurking around the forum and been watching the Jason Sadites tutorials for help/tips. I’m just questioning everything at this point because even the custom tone profiles that are very highly rated sound not so great... I’ve taken some audio engineering classes in the past and get the general idea and try to strive for a more “studio” sound akin to what would be used on a record rather than a live gig sound but I guess I have a lot more work to do...
  2. Hey Everyone, So now that we're temporarily unemployed/on lockdown due to the Heineken Flu, I finally have some time to delve into my Line6 Helix LT that I've been neglecting for half a year. I recently got married and moved into an apartment where my analog guitar/bass rigs would probably get me evicted, so I decided to jump face first into a digital platform that would cover both my bass/guitar needs. However I don't have studio monitors and can only rely on my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80Ohms plugged direct. So... I played through the presets and it sounds rough so I tried making a couple simple profiles for a generic high gain tone (thanks youtube) and once again the tone is bad/harsh/shrill with no clarity (tried several amp models and cabs). I figured its probably user error since I'm VERY new to the digital gear so as a last ditch attempt, I download and load a few highly rated customtone profiles and some of them sound worse than where I started. I tried the settings with a Merrow MkIII, Suhr Modern, Edwards LP and a Washburn w/ EMGs. I haven't even bothered trying my basses out since I've been so frustrated with how bad I sound with just my guitars... I did a little digging here and some people with the regular Helix said they have specific output option for headphones, the LT does not. I also read that some people use varying mixers/headphone amps which they claim opens up the tone in the cans. I was wondering if this really helps and if so which headphone amp does every recommend?? I'm just dying inside that I finally have the time to play my guitars and basses and can't get a great tone from my Helix LT, any help is greatly appreciated.
