But I'll give priority to my new pack. As from now, I'll probably mostly do small packs - including one for clean amps + special effects. When I'm in programming mode I'm a workaholic and most of a time I just work too much, I need to take care of my health too ;) Health #1. All else follows.... Small focused packs are appreciated — I like your collections that are focused on great tone for original performance and studio work. Your creative use of special effects is icing on the cake.

guitar1969 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 What about presets that utilize the newer reverbs from 2.50. As you probably know, on 2.60 the newer reverbs got considerably wetter so most are having to dial back the mix as much as 50%, and lower decay too. Im not sure what presets would be affected by this, but will there be any updaying needed as a result of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 On many of the packs presets, you can modify the effects (including reverb) to get the exact sound you want. So its not such a big deal to change out the reverbs. I like that sort of flexibility, because the bulk of the tones are not dependent on effects to sound good; most of the great tones in the 2.5 collection come from the clever integration of amp settings and custom IRs. BTW, the new reverbs sound fantastic on the right material..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremen Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Checked, and updated. The 15 presets using the new reverbs sounded "wetter" than normal, and were tweaked accordingly. You can find them in a new "2.60 update" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundog Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If you bought the original 2.30/2.50 Update Pack and then re-download, there are some updates to some of the presets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 New presets coming soon ! Each mini-pack will focus on one high gain amp and will have 16 "8 snapshots" presets + a stereo dual amp preset. The snapshots (1 rhythm, 2 lead, 3 crunch, 4 clean, 5 clean with modulation, 6 stereo rhythm, 7 stereo lead and 8 recording) and settings will be almost the same, it's mostly the cab and EQ that will vary. Just use the one(s) you like the best ! Those will be for live playing AND recording, and will use 16 brand new custom IRs. Some will also include the two latest amp models for the clean snapshots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4JpqJTxNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremen Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 In fact, I made those new IRs for studio first. But the presets will work for everything, if you're a metalhead ! later I'll do some more for more vintage users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Metalheads will love it, but I'll be waiting for vintage. I like the concept of mini-packs; affordable and focused on a particular music style/sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0stenning Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 OFF TOPIC slightly but don't shoot me! You'll laugh but my HELIX is temporarily upstairs -deliberately put out of reach so I can focus on how much i can do with just an iPad and MIDI pedals etc as one-man-band. So,...... have just purchased Bias Amp and FX. And - apart from DSP draw ( on my iPad Air 2 ) am actually quite impressed. Think its useable... until Line6 make something like the AmpliFireBox for the HELIX - i.e. a tiny box with minimal basics that i could take to open mics. So...... any chance or plans to make some Fremen presets for the Bias AMP 2 iOS/VSTseries ? I guess one issue is i don't think they allow custom impulse responses on iOS. But maybe if you do a deal with BIAS.... who knows ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 I don't have Apple products, and I won't work with any processor which doesn't have IR capabilities either, unfortunately. IR loading was what sold me on the Helix after the announcement :) My custom IRs are central to my sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the concept of mini-packs; affordable and focused on a particular music style/sound. You may want to grab the free Plexi pack. It has 6 presets (instead of 17) and 7 IRs (instead of 17). In each preset, snapshots 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 uses the same IR (17, or 18 etc) ; snapshots 4 & 5 uses the “clean” IR Preset 1 = IR 17 Preset 2 = IR 18 Preset 3 = IR 19 Preset 4 = IR 2 Preset 5 = IR 10 Preset 6 = IR 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks @fremen. The Plexi pack freebie sounds fantastic!! The pricing is very reasonable for the amp packs .... can't wait for the rock and blues vintage packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies for this ! I forwarded your message to my webmaster. Implementing the discount system has been a real nightmare, maybe I should just remove it and replace it by an "amp pack megapack" at a heavily discounted price. It would work much better... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremen Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Thanks ! I hope they all are ;) I was really surprised by some amps that I didn't use that much, like the Badonk... A quick news guys : unfortunately the discount system didn't work as intended ; it worked for some people, didn't for others, and some weren't even able to buy anything. So I removed it and replaced it by a discount bundle with all the packs. My apologies for that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Any Judas Priest fans here ? :) This is a quick demo of two presets from my "Amp packs". For each channel, I use the 8th snapshot, optimized for recording. I'm NOT trying to copy the original tone ! I just took the very first preset from my "Angl Meteor" and "Line 6 Badonk" packs and used them as they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Curious to know which amp models not covered by my amp packs you would like me to add ? I also plan on doing a full 17 presets version of the free Plexi pack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenGravity Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Looking to maybe get a couple packs or so. Looking for something really meaty on the low end for rhythm, perhaps similar to early dream theater or Metallica. Any suggestions on the pack? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Meatiest (is that a word?) low end = Badonk. But really, with my IR N°10 in this pack (and not only this one btw), most high gain amp models will have enough low end. For Dream Theater, the Cali IV lead is the obvious choice, and it's my favorite amp model with the Placater and the Archetype. With the right IR and settings, Angl Meteor, Cali Rectifire, German Ubersonic are also equally good at low end chugging 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxdaz10 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 ive been using those new placater presets you did, i just cant get into them, even though i like the amp. i always use ur heavy 5150 patches or the cali mkIV ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely tweaked it, added a dist in front for solos, and some slight reverb/delay to my taste after. It sounds almost perfect, especially with a Strat. Took me all of 5 minutes during soundcheck before a gig when my singer, out of the blue, asked us to cover "What's your Name" for that night's throwdown. I'll try to post it on Customtone after this cluster of shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
