SlugAlex Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hey forum! I am new to the line 6 family. I recently received a helix and am absolutely loving it. I have owned a Kemper and axe FX II, but helix is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'm wondering is how I would go a bout using helix to tone match some of my favorite guitar tones, and then proceed to put the tone matched IR into helix to use live. I use ozone to do the tone matching. If any one could detail the process I would appreciate that. I'm not trying to tone match on the helix, I'm trying to get the helix to sound similar to the tone I want, then use ozone to eq match it to the reference tone. Now that it sounds pretty much the same, how do I get that tone back into the helix to use outside of the computer. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

DunedinDragon Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 By ear and by tweaking as far as I know. You may luck out with some presets that have been shared on CustomTone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onanisland Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I think you would need to look into the USB reamp features? If I recall don't you need to get some tones out of the Helix using an amp that is similar to the processed tone that you are trying to match? It's been so long since I've done that stuff.

jeremyn Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 You could always use an IR capture tool to produce an IR of the isolated ozone plugin (running the matched settings). And then load the IR into Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then load the IR into Helix. Would I have to bypass the cab in that case on the helix and use the Ir created instead, or run both? Thank you so much for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyn Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Add the captured IR after your cab in the chain. You're basically 'copying' the EQ profile of the plugin from the computer and inserting it into Helix chain instead. Then you should have the same output from the Helix as you had from your DAW.

That's what I was thinking. Will try this. Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarleyUK Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 This is amazing - I've never done anything using a DAW or plugins, so wasn't aware this was possible :) Are there any simple, n00b friendly tutorials you would recommend? Might finally be able to get the Use Your Illusion tone I'm after.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearwhore666999 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Aun asi, con las opciones daw existentes ... Seria increíble tener el proceso disponible en la misma unidad ... Y seria un lindo cierre para la generación (cierre q imagino, esta cada vez más cerca) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
