Danielevansrocks Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi all. Im currently struggling to get a decent sound (another one of those threads) My current set up is Helix - Marshall 9200 Stereo power amp - Engl Pro cab. Guitars are Fenders, Gibsons, Variax, EVH Wolfgangs and a modded Jackson with EMGs, so quite a range of sounds, that I need. I am not using IRs or cabs as its running into the real thing. So would you recommend that I use Pre-amps or amp head simulation in this type of set up? Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of EQs, tutorials etc, as there is no real help out there, I have spoken to Choptones and Glenn, who have both said that all their patches use IRs or Cab simulation, but thought it might be a good starting block to create my own sound.. Also, when running stereo and having no effects, one channel is not as loud as the other, is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Standard thing would be to use amp(s) w no cab, but you can do anything you like the sound of -- preamp only, overdrive only, preamp > overdrive > preamp > amp, whatever's good for you. I haven't noticed one channel louder than the other, always run stereo, but don't do much with it beyond a few stereo fx. What about your patch is different between the two stereo sides?
