Given the quality of Fremen's presets, trust me, its worth the wait and requires patience. Whats the phrase cheap, fast, quality? Choose 2! I think of Fremens tonal offerings as a custom order guitar.

Thanks, I'll check for that tonight.

Wondering how folks set up the saddles on a JTV 69S? I notice on occasion the saddles move around and occasionally end up touching each other, and also a pretty consistent gap between the D and G string. I'm thinking of getting the old micrometer and feeler gauges out and setting the distance between strings. Any other thoughts or recommendations?

I was curious about this too and since the post is too digital cab or not I did a little experiment last night. I took 4 different patches that I use with just FOH, swapped the digital cab I had in the patch for the 1X12 in the helix. Copied the patches and re-did each patch with just the pre-amp (no cab) and sent to a small tube amp I have with a 1 X 12 british voiced speaker. Nearly identical in sound! So I don't think you take too much risk using the cabs in the helix or an IR (plus they are lighter).

Move to after amp probably....

Thanks, will send an email shortly

What brand case? Seems pretty functional. I like the mic stand mount too, probably find something like that at a hardware store. Directly bolted to pedal board?

+1 on the JamKazaam. After a little elbow grease and purchasing some good USB interfaces we are rehearsing again with our singer who moved to Madison, Wisconsin! We are in Minneapolis, about 270 miles!

What are you using for interfaces to the internet?

He has some really well written articles, about four I think, links are on the left side. https://jimamsden.wordpress.com/2015/12/30/analyzing-jazzincs-srv-little-wing-patch/

I think what you hear is very similar to what you would normally hear on a tube amp, at least what I heard in the sound clip on my computer speakers. I have some old Gibson amps and a fairly new hand-built tube amp, similar distortion/rumble characteristics.

I've have QSC's, line 6 stagesource, used a Mackie Thump and have Alto 212, 210 and a couple of cheap older altos (10"). Alto wins every time. Something about them just works for the Helix, guitar and my ears.

See post #41 above.

Same struggles as above, but a little time and effort into the setup went a long way to solving most issues. First and foremost have the guitar properly set up. From nut to bridge and everything in between .No fret buzz!! Pickup height--the closer the magnetic pickups are to the strings the worse the models sound and the less sustain they have. Back them off, maybe a standard single coil set up typical of Fender and back them off a little more. I'm not going to list the numbers, easily available through google. Strings make a difference, I was not happy until I switched to GHS Gilmours 50-10.5. That doesn't mean you will be happy with Gilmours, it means try something different. If you do one of the above you might get lucky, but no guarantee on happy. If you do all of the above you should have great success and be fairly happy. My 69S is my main instrument, phenomenal sounding guitar, Great for recording, writing, everything but it took some real thought, some recording, looping to get it just the way I wanted it. And for the record I have had to put the same effort into every guitar I have.

It doesn't just happen with products either. The entire political, news cycle is driven by similar comments, one person makes a comment for a political candidate and ten people are assigned to jump down their throat in the comment section and start to smear and harass them.

There are some commenters out there who are specifically hired to trash the competition. It's called astroturfing. Very real thing these days. Influence. Mind changing. Inducing doubt.

Nope-still there. I can see them.

bwahahaha! ROFL!

+10 on Alto's. No real dialing in at all. I've found the anything Alto 10 to be just perfect for guitar. Smaller too.

There just isn't any point to this anymore.

It's interesting the 12 inch speakers with ports are the old 15's. 15's with ports are the old 18's. Those 10's with ports are about perfect for guitar. I've hardly had to dial out any bass at all with the TX10's

Both are good choices although a 15 is a bit much unless you play bass as well, or 7 string. My big thing is weight. Compare the weight of the Alto 212 and the Mackie. I've said this before-can a normal person (wife) actually carry it without complaining? Is yes get that one. Sonically both are equal, Mackie does have some versatility though as a floor wedge, feedback filters (great for vocals if your sound man doesn't know how to run sound and you are running a monitor mix into the second channel. I tried line 6 stage source, QSC, Altos, liked the Altos, just perfect little package, light, easy to carry, no complaining from others about weight. Easier to dial in than the StageSource and QSC. The other guitarist has a Mackie for a floor wedge, he says my guitar monitor send sounds great to him but for me its pretty tough to tell, since he also has his Fender Twin on that side. I finally settled on a pair of Alto TX10's (older model), as wedges in front of me. At the time $169 each at GC.

Your bass player took the time to write several paragraphs! You are not going to change his mind no matter what you do! Unless he is going to commit the same energy into solving the problem as he did complaining you can either comply or just move along. I bet if you wrote similar email about his rig, his bass, his tone he would waste no time moving along, or kicking you to the curb.
