Which Helix pedal / preamp or the like can I use to give e FET Boost to my guitar sound? Trying to recreate some U2 sounds - getting very close and much better than whats on custom tone. I'll upload when done.

 

If there is an answer - how could I have figured that out? I've searched Google and the Forums. How does one know what's in a pedal?

 

Thanks!

There are many ways to do this including using any of the milder overdrives with the 'Drive' parameter turned down or putting a volume block in front of the amp. The HelixHelp.com page has links to descriptions of all the effects on the Helix if you are looking for a little more info.

 

Here is a good topic on transparent boosts: http://line6.com/support/topic/23027-transparent-boostod/?hl=volume+boost&do=findComment&comment=174926
