FREE EJ Inspired Preset 1.1 for HX STOMP Thanks for checking this out! Tackling such a legendary tone is always a work in progress! Here are some details and tips for using this preset I built: Footswitch 1 - For dirty rhythm tones Footswitch 2 - For lead tone (use bridge PU and roll off tone) Footswitch 3 - Option to add chorus to clean sound (Extras: Footswitch 5 is delay on/off) My tip for setting this preset to your guitar’s output level: Go to the clean setting on the preset, go to your bridge pickup and hit it hard, try to get the slightest amount of breakup. If you need more or less, adjust it from the GAIN on the AMP block. (I had to turn up my Strat to at least 6.5 on the AMP block GAIN) Remember - the lead sound is meant to be used with the bridge pickup of the guitar with the tone knob rolled down. You will have to experiment with how much. (For me on my PRS it is about half way) - You are looking to remove the “stringiness” from the tone to get the smooth overdrive sound. (Stratocasters are NOT wired this way by default for some reason - for strats I think it’s way more useful to have tone control over the bridge and neck pickups rather than the middle and neck) Try the two above tips before trying to adjust any of the EQ on the pedal or amp blocks. A lot of EJ’s tone also comes from his hands, his articulation choices, his vibrato, and his picking strategy (economy picking). - Not to mention his crazy amp and pedal switching setup. This patch was built for HX Stomp (in mono) so it is minimal compared to what I could do to simulate EJ’s rig and tone using more DSP and blocks. For HX Stomp users - there is a bonus open block slot to add a lower DSP effect of your choice like compressor, delay, reverb, modulation, fx loop, volume pedal, wah, etc. If there was more processing power I would use the new poly sustain to get the live “Cliffs of Dover” freeze delay sound (this would be something to add for anyone using larger Helix models). I would also have a stereo option for the patch as well as try to recreate his Fuzz lead sound. If you dial it in take a video and tag me! I’ll continue making free presets and I’ll also have preset packs for sale soon. Follow me on Instagram and YouTube if you’re interested in keeping up to date with those! I am available for online private guitar/music lessons and I can also make custom designed presets and tones for you and your guitar/gear - feel free to contact me! I also can do recording remotely from my home studio. If you want to make a donation for the preset I have a venmo account. Thanks for the support! - David Feily Music FREE EJ 1.1 - DF.hlx

Hey Guys, Today I go over the lead tone I use with my Line 6 Helix. The tone uses the Line 6 Badonk amp model paired with Owhammer Impulse Responses. I go over the settings as well as demonstrate it in a mix. Thanks so much for all the support.

Hi ! . I just got my Helix 3 days ago and have been fighting with it in order to recreate my "signature" Lead tone I have been playing with for over 6 years with my Zoom G3X.(playing direct into active speakers and foh). No matter what I ve tried with the Helix so far (I play into 2 DXR10's ) or into my studio monitors) it sounds harsh, is missing warmth and sounds cheap compared to my Zoom tone..(iv e made recordings to A/B the sounds) and my Zoom tone is just so much better..) The tone on the Zoom is just a tube screamer into a marshall with delay and reverb) but saying that its really the delay and the reverb that have a warmth I cannot get from Helix sofar.. Here are 2 short youtue clips with my Zoom tone.. If anyone could give me any advice on how to create a similar tone with Helix ..that would be awesome The closest I ve gotten was with the Marshall JT45 model but again..on the recordings it's just harsh and cold compared to the Zoom sofar.. I want to get this right and love the possibilities of the Helix..but I cant go for a worsened tone Thanks cheers and happy new year..

Hello guys. I recently bought a pod hd 500, I need to find some good patches for live. Unfortunately I do not have time to create my own patches. I hope that you can help me to find some custom tones that I can use in my performance. I have a stratocaster american standard (with single coil), I'm going directly into the PA and use one speaker cabinet. I need: - 2 clean tone (as twin reverb), one of these for funky rhythms - 2 crunch, (one with more gain for songs like 'Black or White') - 2 lead tones (For songs like 'Beat It', I want it all, The show must go on,) I hope you can help me thanks in advance :) Ps. sorry for my bad English
