Hello, I'm quite new with Helix Floor.... since now I always used presets done by others but I would like so much to be able to build them by myself.
So today I tried a lot but I'm facing a strange issue which I don't know if it's normal or what I'm doing wrong,
I own an Ibanez Jiva10 with pandemonium pickups which seem to be a little bit hotter than normal passive ones, and when I have a totally empty patch I can hear the sound of guitar which is ok, no clipping no distortion and it's ok.
However when trying to use amp + cab models, in the 90% of cases I always get distorted output, I'm quite unable to get clean sounds from quite the whole list of amps on Helix floor.... to me it doesn't sound normal.... am I right?
I'm using a pair of Audio Technica ATH-m50x headphones to check the shoud so I hope they are telling the truth.
(I also have an headrush FR-112 but at home it's better to use headphones for peace of mind of daughters and wife... lol...)
I tried already to enable guitar in pad but still quite every amp model is distorted and I cannot get a nice clean sounds to start and add effect to... :(
Second question is that I don't know very much about effects chain and I don't know what could I do if want to have both a clean channel and a distorted one in just one patch.... as if I was using a normal guitar amp with pedals connected.... (to do clean parts and distorted ones)... in fact I'm quite puzzled about the sense to add distortion pedals to already distorted amp sounds.... probably I'd need some guide or books to learn from the basics....
Anyone can help ? (I already lost a lot of time experimenting but I suspect I'm missing something and I'm a bit lost...)
