chuskey Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Here's a video from a gig that I played a couple of weeks ago using Helix and Variax. Helix is running straight to front of house with no amp on stage. This setup really is a Dream Rig :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclement Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sounds nice... albeit "too in-tune" compared to the original ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungho Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Diggin' the tone. Nice cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestOpinion Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Great cover! Just curious where you had the high cut or EQ set on this preset? It cuts through the mix nicely without ever sounding brittle on the high end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts through the mix nicely without every sounding brittle on the high end. Thanks! I double checked my patch to make sure I'm giving you correct info. BTW if you want the patch it's here: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/3042964/ I'm using the litigator model and the eq and presence are all on 5. I'm using a dual cab block with the Dr.Z 2x12 and the Greenback 4x12 cabs, using Condenser 67 and ribbon 121 mic respectively. On the cab block I have the low cut on both cabs set to 80hz, which I pretty much do on every preset, and the high cut between 8.5-9k for each one. I wasn't using any global EQ. I absolutely love the Litigator model. I think it's so smooth and I literally don't touch the EQ on it. I like using ribbon/condenser mics on the cabs because I find dynamic mics tend to have more top end and it can be tougher to tame. Of course that depends on the amp/cab model you're using. In lots of cases a SM57 works great. For this tone in particular I liked the smoother ribbon/condenser mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
