shawnt113 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I know there is a discount for those who own Helix hardware, and granted that for the Helix rack & floor users you get the Native for $99 but as a LT user $299 is more steep than I can go right now. Does L6 ever do sales for registered users? If ever I saw a $149 or $199 price for Lt users I’d HAVE to snatch it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 They had it on sale for $99 for LT owners just last month... So, yes, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnt113 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I downloaded the trial last night. Going to mess with it this weekend and likely order Monday with some other stuff from Sweetwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnt113 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I’ve been messing around with Helix Native tonight, comparing it to tracks I recorded with my Axe FX II there are some noticeable differences. Native certainly doesn’t have clarity that the Axe FX does. Gonna need to do some more playing around before I pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about how you set up the gain staging of your signal chain. I say this as a multiple-time Fractal user. Or just look at the latest video from Sonic Drive Studio where he compared a Friedman BE100 in Native with his hardware Axe-FX III. Very little difference between the two, and it definitely ain't in clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnt113 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I checked out that video yesterday, the Native sounds great in that which makes me think I did something wrong last night. However, even in that video I still noticed the definition and note separation of the Helix is not on par with the AF3. I’m gonna play more tonight to see what I find. I’m going to actually reamp a DI track that I recorded through my AF2 and maybe dona quick mix of the AF2 tones and the Helix tones to see how the compare. If I can get the Helix to make me happy it will certainly be more convenient for reamping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, we hear what we hear, but there wasn't a single note or string that was "smudged" on the Helix Native track to my ears. If I ever detect any in my own patches, an EQ boost in the 1.2-1.6khz range usually clears it right up. These are not static settings that can never be changed, after all....

shawnt113 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I’ll try that tonight, do you usually put the eq before or after the amp block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have a guitar with relatively PAF/vintage-like pickups, I do it before the amp. If not, then I do it between the amp and the cab block.
