Nope. Gotta have some sort of power amp, whether built in the speaker box or external.

Either way, you can get some great financing on Helix!

Cool! 😎

Yeah. What kills me is I was a long term owner of Kemper rack and Axe FX II XL+. Didn't sell then until I made sure the Helix would give me the same tones and vibes I got out of those two amp/cab wise. I was able to determine that within 2 weeks or less. I no longer have to lug around a rack plus MIDI pedal. I also now use the same rig live and in the studio. I don't have a brand bias... I owned everything but the Atomic one that's out. Thought about buying one of them just for a super portable jam pedal.

Nothing like a bad power tube popping fuses. Then you cross your fingers throwing in a full spare matched set without biasing and praying it didn't take out the output transformer/caps/resistors when the tube blew. That brings up why I started toting around either a solid state amp or spare small tube amp back in the day. Now I just keep a trusty old Tonelab LE in the Yukon XL for dire emergencies. I have never had any modeler die on me. Tonelab SE, Tonelab LE, POD X3 Live, POD HD500, POD HD500X, Kemper PA Rack, Axe FX Ultra, Axe FX II XL+. That's not even including a Digitech RP1000.

Yeah, I prefer delays as well... never have been a huge reverb guy other than a little in the studio.

One trick with delays is to run them in a parallel path if you don't need over a certain amount of delayed signal. Used to use that well advised tip from the Axe FX II days. Kept the delay level from monkeying with your dry signal too much...

Has Glenn emailed the Satriani patch yet? I have all the other artist patches he's done so far through SRV, etc. Just sent me the latest versions a few days ago, but no Satch patch yet...

Glad you could follow my mad ramblings off the top of my head. LoL!

You have to navigate to one or the other pedal and use the Bypass button to toggle it to the opposite on/off state of the other one. Then save it with the button in the state you want when initially called up.

That's not good...

They also used some mid range super boost with graphic EQ's if I'm not mistaken. I forget the particular frequencies, but I'm pretty sure I remember a graphic EQ pedal being involved.

Good news! ðŸ‘

Guess the ole WD-40 wipedown is outta the question... aCk!!! :P

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Whoop!

Trust me... tweak your cabs and settings! You may find a patch you didn't like turn into a mainstay...

Yep... I can handle doing my own tone matching versus getting the editor and some of the other idea scale features.

I should have known...

Yep... if I had a Helix Editor, I'd definitely be a Pro, then... yessiree, Bob...

Dangit....... here I thought I was a "pro" because I got paid to play at all those bars and stuff... aCk!!! :blink:

Oh well... I give up... :wacko:

Compression and gain are your friend!
