Zzz123 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Has anyone tried the Fat Lazy Cabs pack on the Helix? Demos sound pretty good. http://fatlazycabs.b...t/fat-lazy-cabs I'm looking for good metal tone and considering: 1. Ownhammer 2. Redwirez 3. Fat Lazy cabs 4. Rosen Digital 5. 3 Sigma. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorke Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I bought the Ownhammer Heavy Hitters pack and have really liked it. When I bought the Helix, I thought it sounded improved over the Hd500, but when i added the Ownhammer IR's it was a massive improvement. I think the Heavy Hitters pack will have everything you will ever want or need for metal. Although not a metal patch per se, my favorite right now is an Uberschall with a Mesa cab with G80 Speakers. You can also do a lot with the Modded JCM800 and the cabs in the Heavy Hitters pack. The Rectifier also sounded much improved with the Ownhammer IR's. Hope that helps.

johnonguitar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Download the free Mesa cab on the Ownhammer website. Might be all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 A "best" amp/cab/mic/string(s)/pick(s)/toothpaste/chainsaw/canoe/hip waders/ or fondue pot, for any given application....wait for it....doesn't exist! If something works for you, congratulations, you're done. If not, try others until you find something that does. My "best" might be your "worst". Maybe you'll hit it on the first try, or maybe it'll take a year and a day.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 With exception of fat lazy(?), I have some from each. All good with some amp or other, all bad with something. In other words, cruisinon nailed it. Have fun, spend money! Find the ones YOU like, you're bound to think that MY favorites suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Personally I like Studiocats Friedman 212 IRs he posted free on this forum. I also like the 3sigma Mesa Road King IRs. The free Ownhammer Mesa ones are okay too. But I've been getting good metal sounds out of the Helix 412 XXL V30 cab with a Dynamic 112 mic. You can add a parametric eq after with a 750Hz mid cut and little bass boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judsonmwall Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 This is using the 3 sigma Mes OS Rec 2b impulse..I believe the impulse pack was only $7..very pleased with it! No post processing on the helix either, just straight into the mix! https://soundcloud.com/jaydub-music/helix-test-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
