cruisinon2 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Interesting...I fiddled with the demo version for a bit, and I have to admit that quickly creating my own custom IR's does have a certain appeal. And while it's not outrageously priced, I'd be paying ~$110 for the privilege of sitting for hours, endlessly fiddling with a brand new collection of adjustable parameters, wondering just how much "better" I could make it sound if I obsess over mic placement/combinations for just 5 more minutes...lol. I'm gonna have to pass for now...I'd never claw my way out of the rabbit hole. Cool toy though... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsvette12 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I dont fiddle what I like is the sound is way more fuller - more realistic to me - turn it on play with it shut it off you will see what I mean Just use helix amps and use this for cabs - bought it immediately this brought helix to a new level for me - play mostly with headphones and I tried tapping but notes never rang out - now I can that alone was worth the money Hope they add more cabs to it - I dont thin his cab packs are for this I think they are irs in helix but not sure - anyway its free to try cant hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 This is one of those "extra 5%" things and, as cruisinon2 said, another rabbit hole. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvette12 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks Buddy - hope you like its quite striking actually - talked to Mikko creator and at some point we will be able to purchase more cabs and mics :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Bought it already. I like tone rabbit holes, that's why I have Helix, Kemper, Code, OX, etc etc ; ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying they dont want a tone rabbit hole ... but also owns any of these units.... pot calling kettle black? If you didn't want a tone rabbit hole you'd own a Dr Z with only a tone knob and a volume knob and call it a day or own a single preamp pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvette12 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Didn't start thread to be a P match :) I only made an observation on how much better my tones sound using these cabs - its day and night That said I didn't purchase it to make ir's - but I will have it on now and have to make my tones work with it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraftybob Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Very cool and thanks for sharing. Being relatively new to the Helix I still need to spend some time with that. But I can see myself getting into this in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsvette12 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Your welcome try demo - play with it on and off and see the difference - that said if you have a tone you would leave Mikko on and replace ir or cab meaning just shut off ir or cab if there is one in the snapshot (tone) this replaces the cab - they live together meaning you will have helix edit open and Mikko open right next to each other :) There will be more cabs in the future and probably mics confirming that now with developer - there will be a cost however - this is a lot of work and real amps and mics to make these additions are needed fyi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I chose the one called Helix doesn't mean I have to devote my life to exploring every rabbit hole I see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbarden Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 MIKKO is an excellent piece of software. I've been using it for about a month now and have gotten great results. One thing to mention is that currently when you export your custom IR and load it into the helix it is a lot quieter than other IR's. I've just been upping the db's to compensate, but I talked to Mikko today and this will be resolved in the next update that's coming very soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only false and a bit pessimistic if you chose to dislike something before actually diving in the hole to see first. ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often forum participants tend not to read what is ACTUALLY written. THAT is what lead to the false premise in the first place! We merely stated our lack of interest and reason. Since we both have experience with the IR rabbit hole, our positions are well informed and therefore entirely valid. FWIW - the false premise was not only false and "a bit pessimistic", it was insulting, as the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" implies hypocrisy. I own a car. I don't want an airplane, as I don't have a need and don't want to learn to fly. Does that make me a hypocrite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbarden Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Got an email this morning saying the new update is available, so you should be able to export and load your custom ir's with no volume compensation needed in helix now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make me a hypocrite? No. But if you have to go a long distance in a short time, you might consider buying an airline ticket as another option. But even if you did that, you would still not be a hypocrite. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
