victorloher Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hi All, Just got the Helix and am having fun getting to know it. I am making the transition from acoustic to electric. I would like to get a patchthat will sustain similar to David Gilmore on Comfortably Numb. I don't have a clue how to program such a patch and I haven't found one on the Helix. I can't play at loud levels as I am sure the neighbors might have something to say about it. So, whatever patch I use has to get that nice sustain at lower volume levels Can someone point me in the direction of one that comes on the Helix or send me one that you have programmed. I greatly appreciate at help. Thanks. Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If you are going from acoustic to electric for starters, id concentrate more on finding someone who can give you lessons on the electric side. Find a good teacher. Once you learn that sound and feel for the electric guitar its a simple matter of just turning up the gain (not volume), and or compression sustain.

vxjoe Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You ate welcome. If you need more sustain you can add a compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
