New bonus preset, for practicing with a metronome/drum loop

The "Synthpad and Tonematches" pack has now been updated. Mostly, I added snapshots to "Tonematches" presets that didn't have any. And now, the chords play immediately when you select a "Synthpad" preset - this was the case originally but the synth block was "bypassed" by another firmware (2.30 I think), before that bug was corrected. I also recorded "Epilogue for Lisa", a Shawn Lane song, with the relevant preset. Playing and changing the chords (via snapshots) at the same time can be tricky !

The 2.30/2.50 complements the big pack ; it's focusing on new amp models. IRs numbers are coherent through all mypacks Hi Marcel, yes exactly, you will have the old versions AND the new versions in the bonus folder I updated all the presets, small but significant tweaks (like naming snapshots, adding gain control through snaphots etc.) - and for the British LD I now use the Placater Dirty

Starter pack updated - and price lowered !

New preset ! watch the till the end for some "sequenced" synth rhythm

DiMarzio Norton in bridge, Liquifire in neck... It's a pity that the wiring with the 5 positions selector doesn't work like on an Ibanez RG ; positions 2 and 4 are just splits of neck and bridge. I would love combinations of both but it's very risky to solder the pickups that way

Regarding the Variax : I started doing presets for it, but I'm not a fan of the models for high gain, and I swapped the pickups with DiMarzio on mine, so even using the magnetics won't work... So I had to abandon the idea of a special pack. I use mine only for some open tuning ; even for the acoustic I prefer my acoustic simulations. I liked the older acoustic model much more, and the Strat too, which was properly quacking Regarding the powercab : I use my own IRs, they're an important part of my presets, so the regular model is sufficient for me. But I may change my mind when I order one ! I'm definitively going to try to make presets with the stock cabs. I'll also try to come with some stock cabs presets with the Helix too :)

I'm definitively going to order a Powercab, however it won't be the one which can load user IRs. So if I did that, the presets won't use my own IRs, which are a key element to my sounds...

It's Amplifire - AX8 - Kemper - real amp

The Helix has 4 effects loops, and I wanted to use them all to compare Friedman BE models sounds from various processors : Fractal Audio AX8, Kemper, Atomic Amplifire...and a real amp, the Friedman Runt (*), which is not a BE but is based on it. So here as you can see the first in action is the Helix ; can you guess the others ? I'm using a looper here so all the processors are treating the same signal. All are also using the Helix reverb. Apologies for the stupid riff, it's completely improvised, I wanted to have both rhythm and leads For the Friedman Runt I used a Torpedo Captor and a speaker simulation from the Axe-Fx II

Thanks guys ! Now I'm going to revisit some of my previous pack to enhance some presets in the same way... here's how to use the "Boulevard" preset :

This not an update to the Big Pack, but a new pack. Will work in Native of course, in fact I tweaked some of the presets in Native Just a new version of The Wall Pt 1, with a drone added, in the new pack

yes, almost all have snapshots with cleans or crunch Helix presets.xls

My new pack has been released, finally ! 53 presets and 26 user IRs. It's my most complex work yet, with many snapshots and real time control of specific parameters (morphing etc). I love the new amps, specially the Placater, Cali Texas Ch2, Cartographer and Derailed Ingrid... https://fremenpresets.com/downloads/fremen-helix-2-30-2-50-update-pack/

Yes, they work equally well here, snapshots included with the latest Native version

No, it's on the product page (but, I'll add it to the document too). I use the drag & drop method, imho the easiest/quickest method IRs You need to put the user IRs in the right places – “090 LX TDR HG1.wav” goes to user spot 090, etc. Watch this video for the easiest procedure :

Instructions are included ! :) I also have a DT-770, which I only use when learning songs

Thanks guys ! :) Not Helix related, but related to my Pink Floyd cover band, where the second guitar player uses my Helix : a "Great gig in the sky" cover by our new backing vocalist. I wanted to share that musical moment with you. It's a first take, and we didn't want to fix the very few vocal blurps

all is well, yes ! The Placater is awesome Releasing the new pack will take a little more time, because I need to facilitate the transition at work (sub-editor in a newspaper) before I quit it to do music (and presets programming !) full time (I also have a recording studio). That means that in a few weeks, I'll have much more time to do presets programming, but also consulting, skype sessions, bonus presets for existing customers (including my own version of the stock presets, I got the green light from Line 6 for this), videos etc

To sound close to my videos, you have to play on the same monitors you use for sound when you watch my video - so it's studio monitors. It's a basic rule :) then it will be very very close if you have guitars that are in the ballpark of the one I use. It can even sound better : I make most of my videos with an Ibanez that has a very generic sound. For clean tones, if you use guitar with better tonal characteristics, like a Strat, the sound will be better !

The Big pack doesn't need updating, the next pack will be a distinct product

The Megapack contains all my packs I'll work on Gilmour presets after my 2.30/2.50 pack is complete rsvette12, I was traveling and couldn't receive posts notifications. I'm still fighting jetlag since getting back in Mauritius (there's a 12 hours time difference with LA/SF, 9 hours with NY/Montréal, and 3 hours with Paris - these are the places where I spent 3 weeks)

Hi guys, apologies for the late reply, i was traveling and just got back home. I didn't receive any notification for this thread when I was traveling. So, yes, the price is in euros, and yes, I will publish a new pack mostly based on the two latest firmwares

Hello, it's complicated to add a credit card option because of where I live, I'm in Africa... Sorry for that ! But send me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you. What country are you from ? I just released a demo for the Pink Floyd presets, most of which have been upgraded : The "Big pack" has been updated accordingly, current owners just need to re-download it
