Smoothasbutta Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey Guys, I'm currently using a Digitech GSP1101 which has a pretty good sound I created years ago for the guitar part in the songs "Get Down Tonight," by KC and the Sunshine Band, Hotel California and Shipping Up to Boston. However, I'm having trouble creating similar presets in Helix. Any suggestions regarding which effects to use and possible settings would be greatly appreciated. I'm also looking to recreate a Hotel California preset and Shipping Up to Boston. Until I can match these presets which I have in my Digitech unit, I can't use the Helix live. Anywhere these can be downloaded or purchased? Time is precious on my schedule. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvroberts Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 You don't mention what guitar you are using? If you are duplicating the recorded sound, you would do well to google what was used originally, and start there. ( I mean amp and effects ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothasbutta Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 The original song Get Down Tonight, had a sped up guitar effect so it sounded like an Octavia or other pitch shifter. The Helix doesn't seem to get this sound right for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
