  1. Also, check out this page... It lists all the delay settings for nearly all of Gilmours guitar parts, including different versions. http://www.kitrae.net/music/David_Gilmour_Delay Time Library.html#:~:text=DELAY SETTINGS - Most of the,time of around 377-380ms.
  2. Numb was basically Colorsound Powerboost into a rams head big muff, a bit of digital delay and electric mistress then into the hiwatts and wems, and also the Yamaha rotary... Quite simple really
  3. A pro!!!! Not on the helix, but with the real thing maybe a little knowledgeable. I've bought a Gilmour preset pack just to get a flavour as to how Helix aficionados do it, and in all honesty the signal chain in the preset pack I've got I think is a bit bloated. A lot of the time the amount of fx he used was minimal, BUT it really depends on the era. early to mid 70's literally a Wah (with the reverse wah switch), volume pedal, Compressor, a powerboost, a fuzzface, and a binson echo, Uni-Vibe into 2 Hiwatt DR103, into 2 WEM Starfinder 4x12s, and also a Lesley rotary speaker. But the preset pack has all manner of reverbs, and EQ going on which I never did with my big rack I've just sold. For Animals era, you have to include an Electric Mistress, a big muff and a digital delay. From 77 onwards he used an MXR digital delay. So the FX would be something along the lines of Volume pedal, Wah (with the reverse wah switch), compressor, Digital delay, electric mistress, big muff, powerboost, Animals era he ran the mistress together with the rotary speaker (by this time a Yamaha) so the end result is a watery sound. Obviously delay is key for Gilmour, don't be afraid to run 2 delays in series....... He did. Run Like Hell was 2 digital delays in series, one delay feeding into another. It's the only way you'll get that sound right. The preset pack I bought has this song set up differently.... with two delays in parallel which isn't correct but sounds OK as you get a better stereo image. I intend to use the Preset pack I bought purely as a start, but I am going to alter and change some bits. Check out gilmourish.com it's a great resource... but beware even that site isn't 100% accurate. Find attached a present from me to the group....... an IR of the Hiwatt DR103 and the WEM Starfinder...... Don't tell ssshhhhhhhhhhhh HIWATT+WEM STARFINDER.wav
  4. I just discovered that both Fractal and Helix use the same format 48KHz, so on the face of it the files on the Amp Factory site should work in the Helix.
  5. I've just found a link to these WEM Fane IR's on the helix Facebook group WEM Fane IR's I've taken the plunge and got this pack. £17 all told so cheaper than the one on Amp Factory. You get quite a few different formats. This is from the ReadMe in the zip file: Formats*: 44.1 KHz → Kemper, Mooer, Hotone 48 KHz → Fractal, Line6, Atomic, Zoom, Yamaha, Nux 88.2 KHz →… 96 KHz → Boss, Headrush, Strymon, Two Notes The Helix and Fractal formats are the same, and this zip file is all WAV's.
  6. Well, it's available on Amp Factory.... and clearly says "700+ IR’s in WAV format" https://www.theampfactory.com/downloads/category/irs/ir_axefx2/ I'm confused...
  7. Hi, I'm new to Helix, literally only bought it on 17th January... But so far really happy with it. I play in a Floyd tribute and was looking on line for an IR of a WEM Starfinder cab. I found one that's a WAV file, but they say it's only available for use on an Axe FX. I was of the impression that WAV being a standard format could be used across different units.... Am I correct, or are WAV's created in a specific modeler only for use in that specific modeler?? Cheers in advance, Andy
