btbed Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hey guys ... I was just wondering if anyone has tried to bring up Axe Fx presets using free edit software and emulate to Helix? I've seen a guy named Edo Sound do a ton of good U2 sounds in packs for sale wondering if it would be possible to copy at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 They won't sound the same.... IMO... you would be better off studying how those tones are created to begin with, then building a Helix patch from that. IE: Build a patch based on the original chain, not based on a copy of it.

cruisinon2 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Square peg, meet round hole... they are completely different platforms. You can't expect any continuity just by copying settings from one to the other. If you want to mimic something you've heard from an Axe FX using identical settings.... then you need an Axe FX.

I've seen a guy named Edo Sound do a ton of good U2 sounds in packs for sale wondering if it would be possible to copy at least? Why? That’s got to be an exercise in total futility! See what sort of reaction you get if you go over to the Fractal forum and ask if anyone there is trying to rework Helix patches. I think if you are so impressed with the U2 tones available you should get an Axe FX to use them. The trouble with this sort of thing, is simply the fact that only the Edge (or whoever else you choose) will ever sound like them. Everything else is a cheap pastiche - you really need to do what they did - create your own signature sound. Anyone else in here remember ”itsslash” or was it “Iamtheone” and can the Helix sound like Andy Summers - aaaaarrrrrrgggg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found a freeware to read the axe format? I want that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
