lulu_m Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 After having my Helix for 6month's now and jammed and recorder so far only with my godin lgxt, I decided to make a patch for my good old Epiphone Emperor AB Archtop. I must confess that I don't play this lady much anymore. The lady is heavy, voluminous and the strings feel like cables. Also, the thick boxy sound is often a p.i.t.a. to have it sit nice in a mix, but Helix did the job remarkably well!! Piece of cake :-) Just some slight eq after recording (cut away some 500hz boxiness) Helix does some jazz, maybe I should play 'her' more often :-) https://youtu.be/VhcelgmUXkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billlorentzen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 When I want a jazz sound, I gravitate to the Gibson amp. It works really well with my semihollow. It also gives the best jazz tone with my super strat with EMGs. I don't particularly like the Jazz Chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm still hunting for what works for me but then I trying to "force the issue" with the guitar I'm using. It's a custom neck-through semi-hollow and does not naturally sound like a Jazz guitar. I'm picky too and that doesn't help. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.., have to try that amp, still looking for tweeks ;-) I just did a quick patch with the US Double Nrm, switchable to the JC120, but the recording was the US Double Nrm. Thanks for the info!

shanecgriffo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 yes, i dont find the jazz chorus a particularly good jazz amp despite the name.. ok for 80's new wave maybe tho :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I find the Jazz Chorus can work ok with some acoustic guitar presets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I love that sound. What amp did you use or can you provide a patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Yes of course I will share the patch you can find it here: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/2765441/ It's a switchable patch in between Jazz Rivet 120, and the US Double Nrm, but I used only the US Double Nrm for the recording!
