suedehead99 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hey, Line 6. Can we please have some more Firehawk video tutorials? There are 3 dozen for the Pod HD range, a score for the Amplifi, 9 for Helix, but only 2 for the Firehawk FX/1500. Please create more to show users how to create different tones, to explore the different settings, and to get the best out of the Firehawk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJH Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I've put together two videos on the Firehawk FX. The first deals with various tones that it's capable of and the second shows how some of those tones were created. Hope this helps... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedehead99 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks Peter. They're fantastic. I don't really get how the equaliser works. I follow what you did in the video, but how do you know/decide where to put the different frequency shelves? And what do the shelves do? Thanks, Daniel.

PeterJH Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi Daniel, The frequency shelves are the areas which I felt needed either a cut or a boost. In fact I very seldom boost frequencies when eqing guitar tones. It's more common to cut annoying frequencies. I did another video (POD HD500X) where I explained the parametric eq in a lot more detail and how I "found" the frequency shelves that I felt needed work. I know it's not for the Firehawk FX but exactly the same principle applies. In fact the Firehawk was much easier to get tones out of than the HD500X. Here's the link. I hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedehead99 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 What a guy! Thanks a lot, Peter. I'm going to go and have a play with my shelves. All the best, Daniel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Using eq the way Peter does is something worth learning, you'll get better at it the more you do it, before long you'll instinctively know roughly which frequencies need to be cut. You might be doing this already but what helped me was listening to Peters videos on a good quality pair of studio monitor headphones, it was easier to hear what he was getting at. A simple cut in the right place can really bring a tone to life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Also with regards to tone videos , don't forget that all the amplifi ones are compatible with firehawk, you can build the tone as per the video and then swap the amps/drives for hd ones if you wish, as a final step eq it to get the best out of it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedehead99 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thanks mcbeddall. I'll give the headphones a try. And I'll also have a look at the Amplifi vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
