mikah912 20 Posted March 6, 2018 all is well, yes ! The Placater is awesome Releasing the new pack will take a little more time, because I need to facilitate the transition at work (sub-editor in a newspaper) before I quit it to do music (and presets programming !) full time (I also have a recording studio). That means that in a few weeks, I'll have much more time to do presets programming, but also consulting, skype sessions, bonus presets for existing customers (including my own version of the stock presets, I got the green light from Line 6 for this), videos etc WOAH. Can't wait for all of the goodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fremen 136 Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks guys ! :) Not Helix related, but related to my Pink Floyd cover band, where the second guitar player uses my Helix : a "Great gig in the sky" cover by our new backing vocalist.

MarkeG 4 Posted March 18, 2018 Thinking about grabbing some of these presets I'd be running them exclusively through Headphones Beyerdynamic DT-770 80ohms wondering if these presets translate well to headphones ? Also do any of the packs include back tracks to play along with ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply The reason I went with the DT-770 headphones is they seem to be about the top recommended headphones in the Helix forum See heres a search link for them https://line6.com/support/search/?&q=dt770&type=forums_topic&nodes=86&sortby=newest About the synth pad tones is that some kind of beat backing tracks created with the synth pad that you can play along with that comes with the Megapack ?

fremen 136 Posted March 19, 2018 No, it's on the product page (but, I'll add it to the document too). I use the drag & drop method, imho the easiest/quickest method IRs You need to put the user IRs in the right places – “090 LX TDR HG1.wav” goes to user spot 090, etc. Watch this video for the easiest procedure : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must have something set wrong the patches just not sounding right sound like I'm playing inside a tin can If you make a backup with HX edit after you have imoprted all IR's it will save the IR's aswell so when you load that backup it will put the right IR in the right slot. Cant really comment on DT 770 i use AKG 271 myself when i record and his presets sounds good on those. I also have very old AKG K 340 cans i use for mixing and those also sounds good on my Helix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esarakaitis 0 Posted March 20, 2018 I think a generic how-to on installation, etc would be very helpful. an explanation of how to use IR's with the presets, etc. it's very hard to to find out how to get started with the custom presets, ir's etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fremen 136 Posted May 1, 2018 My new pack has been released, finally ! 53 presets and 26 user IRs. It's my most complex work yet, with many snapshots and real time control of specific parameters (morphing etc).

soundog 566 Posted May 5, 2018 Fremen knocked it out of the park with this release. I use Helix Native for studio work and songwriting, and these presets are stunning and inspirational, especially in stereo. The preset "Triple Clean" is almost worth the price of admission alone. These are not quick-and-easy presets; they're meticulous. Some are extremely complex, and the attention to detail regarding tone, effects setting, and amp/pickup interaction are top-notch. There's a huge variety of stuff here, useful for studio and for live performance. Rhythm, dual amp, clean, lead, meat-and-potatoes. Special effects, too; for example, "The Wall drone" simulates the synth tone from "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 1" and if you study the preset you can customize it for different tones and pitches — and then play it like a synth using snapshots for note pitch changes. There are also useful morphing presets that make great use of an expression pedal. Great use of snapshots. Great deployment of the new amps. Just all-around great. (My only complaint is that I had to reshuffle a bunch of my IRs and remap presets to match IR numbers, but that's not a fault of this collection — its a fault of the rigid and inflexible Helix IR slot system.) Highly recommended! Sets a new standard for preset purchases. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

williambean 1 Posted May 5, 2018 I tried these with my firehawk 1500 and EV Zlx12p(stereo pa set up with subs)They are amazing. All of your presets have been tones you can use right out of the box. I have purchased other presets from suggestions on the line 6 forum, but very few are good sounding without massive amounts of tweaking. Giving credit where credit is due would be the 3sigma presets (very basic good starts, nothing fancy, still need tweaks and your own effects). They are the only other close to usable tones I have tried. I have purchased several different tones looking for the holy grail. fremen's are darn close. I know people will say that you have to make your own tones, but it takes way too much time. I am a working musician and These tones have made my life easier. fremen your stuff sings. Some of the lead tones are Nuno B. reminiscent. You are a mastermind of soul and feel for guitar tones. Thank you for the hard work, I know how long it takes me to make just one great tone.....that's why I wait for yours. I hardly ever post, but I have to recognize greatness!
