Hi guys had my helix for about a month now, I've been trying to make my own thrash metal early Metallica, Megadeath ect presets.
I've found some amp settings used by the bands and they sound not too bad when copied into the closest amps that helix has to offer.
The thing I'm having trouble with is they sound fizzy or ice picky when playing leads, should I be using eqs to cut the high end more or finding certain frequencies and trying to cut them.
Example of a signal chain I have tried would be the 5150, scream 808 in front and either the stock cab that comes with the amp or an ownhammer ir.
When I play the same amp from customtone the amps sound great, with it helix cabs or ir.
I'm listening to my helix on a pair of dt990s and mainly using my KH3 with active pickups.
I'm more than willing to learn how to dial in my own tones it just need a little guidance, looked around on YouTube but I can't really find any demos of lead playing to compare their presets to. Tried posting on the helix Reddit but I don't think I have enough karma to post.
