How would someone go about getting that water drip sound at the end of a reverb, say when doing muted arpeggios?

Took these for a ride at a gig. Really, really detailed through two Alto TX10's! Compliments abound from band, fans and no complaint form the sound man. Only thing sound man wanted was a bit of a bump on solos, told him to anticipate, they didn't need and bumping. Fresh out of sound school-certified sound engineer kid! He did a great job though.

Two Alto TX10 - $169 each. Use them for everything. Light enough for the wife to carry them, plenty of power. Sound better to me than the QSC's, line 6 l2T. Owned all three, for some reason the Alto's just rock with very little eq adjustments.

sound check in the room will guide you in what to do.

I have never had a guitar out of tune after using the Helix tuner. Never. Always in tune when I'm finished. However the interface is jumpy. Now the Line 6 Sonic Port and Mobile Pod tuner graphic is great and not jumpy. I can tune my guitars adequately using either one, or a tuner in my iPad, a clip on or a pitch pipe. Same result every time.

Use the global EQ in the Helix or do it in the cabinet or IR on a patch by patch basis. Cut 130 HZ or below, . I use altos exclusively, they are phenomenal (provided your patch is phenomenal)

After watching the video it seems the Line 6 tuner is overly sensitive while the others are not as sensitive, perhaps I would put it as the others are more tolerable. If I geeked out on this I would look at surface area of the display for the tuner and re-calibrate the visual. Change the size of the bars to truly represent the interval. The actual note "G" is represented by a certain surface area, however 10 cents to the right or left it is the exact same area, Hitting the note should take up the most space of the display and then represent the intervals with the proper percentage of space on either side. Outside of pulling out the slide rule-geek out complete.

I've done the Line 6 Stage Source Lt2 alto TS212's, and TS210's. Also have done the amplifier route straight into the input with cabs and no cabs. They all take effort. And they all can sound great. My favorite though? Alto 110-older model. Two of them on the floor in front of me and I'm in heaven. Light, plenty of power and clarity, and wife does not mind helping load in and out. Sometimes when board channels are available or someone else is running sound I go Wet Dry Wet. The Altos get the wet left and right signal and the tube amp gets the center dry signal. tapped off just before the cab or IR. Modulation effects go to one alto, time based, reverb, delay go to the other alto. Ping pong bounces between the two altos.

Fremen, All I can say is outstanding!! My guitars have never sounded better! I made the mistake of a double purchase, but just keep it as a tip!!

Little rough but the tone direct is pretty sweet-

All of the above, softer picking (light or extra light picks) or fingers rather than a pick, light strums, 10's or 11's for string gauge.

I have not tried to edit the variax acoustic or change tunings etc. using helix. Sorry, no need in my situation.

Go to templates set list. I believe it is up around number 32.

They should work. LT is the exact same as Helix aside from the physical routing for off board pedals and the additional expression.

Thumbs up to what Glenn said. Best way to go. However sometimes the sound engineers we encounter are a little light on the "engineer", some are inhibited as well (I've come across a few who have been..lets just say "impaired" in one way or another) and most of us do not work with the sound engineers Glenn is used to!. I follow a couple rules-patch to patch I use the level meter in my mixer Once those are set I use the looper for snapshots. Solo boosts are typically 6-7 db's (but can be patch dependent-gain and reverb). Every single patch I use also has a gain block in it as an end all be all close to the last block in the path. That gain block is set to 0-5 db and is assigned to an old short throw Roland? FCV I had laying around. It's a just in case. I also added a homemade actual/live/physical boost pedal to the chain as a secondary or just in case/redundant failure. I put some chicken head knobs on it so I can get at it with my feet to adjust. Still toying with guitar-boost-helix or throwing the boost to a send/return. It's pretty interesting though-when you talk with high level touring pros-no matter what they use-they have the same damn problem.

+1 on the shure 215's!! Very similar to alto's tone/color which there is minimal. Nice find.

Anything ALTO compares very well to all of the above 110, 112, 210, 212. 210 and 212 have two channels not two speakers- I had a stage source-did not like it all for helix, qscs are my main speakers for PA, ALTOs are no different in sound compared to the QSC's.

Have not seen much, outside of the occasional volume pedal squeaking.

One thing I would check is to make sure the path is continuous from input all the way to output. By that I mean make sure you are not feeding guitar into two spots in the signal chain. IF you feed guitar into path 1A, follow down to the next line make sure it has an "X" at the beginning. I ran into this once, could not figure things out for the life of me-when I looked at the signal path I was feeding guitar through Path A in two different spots one on the top line--comp-disto-amp-reverb-cab, and the next line was just some digital delays. Was feeding both lines independently.

split or plexi into soupro?

Gave it a try. Really nice. Tracking on the 5th, 6th string is spot on. Much better than the GK2A pickup I used to use.

IR's included. not much adjustment needed on the tone-biggest is using similar guitar and pickups.

Sounds like fan issue to me (I had the same) - send it back. Probably the one I sent back lol!

Everybody is way too sensitive, me included. I'm sure the intentions were good, going back and reading what was provided, certainly can be interpreted differently, especially if you haven't had your coffee yet, or morning snack. Highly recommend a small bowl of snickers (for everybody) to keep the "Betty White" syndrome at bay. PeteSnow-there are very few "tools" on this forum, and those two definitely are not a part of that group. We all suffer a bit from the "Why Am I Talking" flow chart though...Google it.

The foot pedal mode is where this can be solved. Right now you are set up in a mode that assigns a preset to each foot switch with bank up-down on the left. YOu cant do what you describe in that mode. You need to go to global settings and change the footpedal mode to "stomp" mode, and choose 8 or 10 stomps. You can also do a combination of preset-stomp, preset-snapshot and choose whats on top and whats on bottom. I would recommend you sit down with the unit and just start pushing buttons and whirling dials, you can learn a lot that way.
