So is it a matter of turning the IR imprint up or....

No don't do that!!! email me or PM me here. I'll need your transaction number.

The presets are relatively quiet. It isn't so easy to just turn each one up. Some of the snapshots are effecting channel volumes, output volumes, etc.

 

I was going to add a gain block to each preset... about 4dB to get them to match the rest of my patches. If Glenn is adjusting them, I'd rather just re-download the new patches.

 

They do sound great, BTW... I haven't been a huge fan of the stock cabs but he managed to get them to sound excellent.

So does this mean he agrees that this set of presets are too quiet? If so, are there plans to release the fixed versions? And why haven't other people complained about that? Odd.

Check your PM's guys!!!

Can anyone tell me how to access the Global EQ from the App? I can't find it anywhere.

I have a laptop (Win 7) that's done that from the very start from v1.01. My main DAW however shows the text clear. Never could figure out why it was like that on my laptop though.

Just curious, what cab are you running in the Helix??

Hmmm, What's your input set too? Guitar? Multi? and mess with the ohm input setting too. I think I leave mine on Auto.

I'd try turning the input pad ON. Almost sounds like digital clipping. You may be overdriving the input.

I bought a Glenn De Laune patch and when i loaded it up to my helix, i went to try it out and when i plugged everything in, it was producing no sound at all and both my amp and my guitar are working fine. Now, not even the factory patches work.

 

PLEASE HELP 

This issue has been resolved via email. His Helix needed to be updated. He was on firmware 1.12.

Just for fun!! Here is my Mick Jones Foreigner patch. It uses a Custom IR I created from Mick's isolated guitar track for this song.

If you want to try it out be my guest. Here is the download link. https://www.glenndelaune.com/Patches/GD-FOREIGNER-HELIX-PATCH.zip

Thank you guys so much for your continued support.  Enjoy . . . :-)

Even though all of the guitars I am using lately are passive, I am using the input pad. I find I am able to drive the amps distortion farther without it sounding "unnatural". To my ears it gives me a more 'Creamy" "Smoothed out" overdrive sound. Kind of like compression but without the squash and added noise!! If that's makes any sense.

has anyone tried these included ir's with other amps? my understanding is that they aren't actually cabinet IR's but Glenn has made some sort of tone shaping IR .? correct me if i'm wrong.. i'm just interested to see if you can get a bit of mileage from them, using them outside the preset they are meant for..

Yes absolutely you can use my Custom IR's on other patches. I've done that with great results. Thank you guys.

Well, I thought I could use this thread to post all of the video's I've done for my Custom Artists Patches Volume II so there would be one place for all of them. Thanks G-man for starting this thread. I'll start with the latest first and then go on down from there. There's alot of 'em. Guys I also want to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support throughout the years going back to the old POD 2.0, then the XT-Live, then X3-Live, then POD HD, then HDX series and so on and so on. So, here we are now with the Helix. You really can create ANY sound you have in your head with the Helix. So here we go: (as the OP stated these are from my upcoming Line 6 Helix Custom Artists Patches Volume II due out later this month).

Hello all! When I first got my HD500X, I purchased a big pack of Mr. Delaune's patches. After messing with them a bit, I finally gave up on them. They all sounded like my L2M's had pillows laying on top of them. I just chalkd it up to "must not be my thing."

 

I recently purchased a Helix and again, I heard his patches on youtube and read nothing but praise for the fella (and he seems like a really cool guy on his videos). I bit the bullet and bought the big pack-o-patches and am having the exact same issue.

 

I KNOW this is user error on my end, which is why I am asking for help. Before you say it, yes, I know different pickups, body styles, picking styles etc all matter, but not to this degree. I've been playing for 27 years so I know the difference between my buddy plugging into my rig and sounding different as opposed to what I hear now.

 

I just downloaded the patches after I bought them and then imported them directly into the Helix. They all show up, but again, sound is completely muffled. As mentioned previously, I am running out of a stage source L2M set up for FRFR.

 

Please give me some tips if you are able. :)

First off Thank you so much for your support. I sent you a private message with my contact information. We'll get it sorted out for sure. Thank you again Sir.

Check this out. This is an excerpt from my latest video. This portion demonstrates my Stereo Spread method. Jump to 3:13 for the stereo spread part.

Hi Hamish, Try plugging your USB into the Rear of your computer and Not using a "Hub" or front USB connection, which is actually a Hub. Mine did the same thing once when upgrading to V2.0.

I think the answer is Yes. With an update Line 6 always addresses "bugs" that were in a previous firmware that have been reported. Just recently with V2.0 the Eb tuning trick used to drop your guitar down to Eb didn't work so good. It worked Very good before the update. Line 6 has addressed that issue and in the new V2.1 update the Pitch Algorithms for the Pitch effects have been reverted back to V1.12 settings. So they are listening. Best thing to do if you think you've found something odd is to post it here so other people can check it our for you.

 Working on how I screwed up the backup process and lost my IR's.

I'd bet the ones you lost can be found in this thread:  http://line6.com/support/topic/17076-links-for-free-impulse-responses-ir-here/

It can't hurt to try it again. Here are the detailed instructions. Pay particular attention to items 2, 3 & 7.

About that "CURRENT EXISTING Helix editor app" -

1- I bought this unit used so I really don't know what I'm doing.

2- I couldn't get the app to back up anything (before anyone says it - I know, just another techno challenged user).

3- I thought since nothing would back up that the IR's were part of the factory presets (duh) and obviously I lost about 24 of them that came with the unit from the previous owner. Any chance I can recover them?

4- Why can't I find any detailed instructions about "backing up setlist/presets etc or using the new SNAPSHOTS? I haven't found anything in the users manual. Is there an updated users manual for 2.0?

5- Are the bundles you make going to continue working with 2.0 and future updates? - I am looking at purchasing some of them?

Thanks, TW

Yes Tom my previous patches are all compatible with Version 2 after ding the necessary updates to the Helix.

You probably just need to update your Helix Editor on your computer.

So glad I found this thread. I updated to 2.0 but then had a presets that locked up Helix.

I was sure I had installed the 2.0 App. But when I checked my version, it was 1.2. Must have downloaded, but not installed

Thanks to Glenn for troubleshooting for all of us!

You're welcome. I've been sending that same message to lots of folks the last few days. Happy to report all it was is that the Helix editor needed to be updated. The Firmware update goes so deep that the current editor just doesn't have the same functions that the new one does. It's amazing how much stuff Line 6 added here.

According to this, The Helix Editor 2.0 should be the very first thing you download and install before you even update the firmware because you need the latest updater to install the new firmware.

1. Shut down all Line 6 software as well as any software that streams audio, including, but not limited to: iTunes, Spotify, DAWs, etc.

2. Use your CURRENT EXISTING Helix application to back up all of your presets and IRs (if you want to keep them). If you’re running Helix FW 1.12, your current Helix application version should be 1.12.

NOTE: You may want to back up individual Setlists so you can restore them to empty setlists without affecting the new 2.0 factory presets.

3. Quit the CURRENT EXISTING Helix editor application and download and install the NEW Helix editor application (2.00), available here: http://line6.com/software/This also installs the newest version of Line 6 Updater (1.09).

Yes I had one other person tell me the same thing.

Do you mind sharing your settings for the simple pith shifter effect?? I think I tried that as well with no luck. Ive always used the Pitch Whammy at -1 and -1, mix 100%. That doesn't work for me since the V2 upgrade.
