mattt67 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi there I use my Helix in 4 cable method and I’m very pleased with the results. It’s a lot of fun to try the various preamps. I just have a problem with the Trainwreck preamp. It seems there’s a lot of high end digital fizz regardless of volume or gain settings. It’s the only preamp that does this. Any of you 4cm or Fx return users experience this? thanks for your feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njglover Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I've noticed that with a few of the amps, actually. Particularly when going for a clean sound with just a touch of grit to it. I think it's just the nature of the beast. The Archon models don't have much of it, though, presumably because they are newer models that use a bit more DSP.

taylorbeats Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I Have a train wreck clone head. Nature of the beast. The line 6 model is exactly like the amp, warts and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecgriffo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 lets call it a 'lively' top end.. it certainly isn't brittle or harsh tho.. a bit of that high sizzle ingredient can be very nice in the right dish ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattt67 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks for the replies I'm not sure I hear the same thing as you, as I'm really hearing what I think is digital clipping. Anyways, not a big deal, there are so many other cool preamps! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennDeLaune Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Try using the Pad switch in the Global settings. That might take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've tried the pad switch but the fizz is still there.

Particularly when going for a clean sound with just a touch of grit to it. Now that I've done a bit more testing, I realize you're right, there is a little bit of fizz on all my clean preamps presets, it's just much more noticeable and annoying on the Derailed Ingrid...Bit of a bummer... I don't think I'm clipping anything, but the highly demanded meters would be appreciated here. FWIW there is no fizz at all when I use my amp's preamp. Is that what some people call squirrels? Thanks for your help guys Derailed Ingrid Fizz.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
