schontone Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Anyone come up with a good synth patch for Helix that sounds like strings? Looking for something to run along with other conventional guitar tones to thicken up the sound with a background string pad. Looked in the tone sharing area but haven't seen anything yet.

Tcamponovo Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I use some ambient sounds from time to time. The particle reverb and octo-reverb both will create some great string/pad-tyoe effects. Either independently or stacked together. You can also turn up the decay or level of some bigger verbs like the cave reverb to get a long pad effect. These work especially well with some stereo delay and use of the volume pedal to swell into a pad with no pick attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
