monkeymanx Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Put together this video of the patches I have made so far. Really digging the Helix minus the occasional SPDIF dropouts which do not occur as much as they did prior to the latest update for me. Not really digging the built in guitar cabs either so they have been replaced with some Ownhammer cabs. https://youtu.be/h2F_zP8CSNg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsd512 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Very nice run through - they all sounded great to me. And thanks for showing the details on the amp settings and which IRs you used. Thanks! And one dumb question - what was the purpose of the tube screamer? Looks like the gain was all the way down on all presets and the tone control was flat. What is it adding vs not having it there?

monkeymanx Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 The Tube Screamer just tightens up the gain of the amp. Almost like a compressor and EQ effect prior to the amp. I used a similar pedal with my real amp for hi gain setups. Add the Tube Screamer to one of your setups and give it a run through. The Tube Screamer is cool for lower gain amps too but with some added gain to the pedal (not set to zero). Can make a cool mid gain lead tone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeymanx Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Tried these setups with a guitar amp? I have not but I would think they would be alright as long as you bypassed the cab sim section as you would be running through a real cab. Optimally I would think a standalone power amp would be the best to go with this pedal as it is a preamp. Or you could go through the loop and bypass your amps pre amp and just use the power section.
