pejkkj Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have both the HX Effects and HX Stomp. Anybody have a good block setup for Steve Harris bass tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbene Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 When it comes to Steve Harris sounds, you have to check first: - P Bass (no way around it) - Flatwound Strings - Dig in like hell (or attack the strings more "vertical" so that they snap against the frets, the famous typewriter style) That's what 90% of his sound is about. On the helix side I would start off with a clean amp, like the GK Cougar, the Aguilar or perhaps the WhoWhat100. Since you are obviously not Steve Harris, it might be a good idea to also add a fair amount of compression, since you might not be able to control the hard picking as good as he can. This might even out the most nasty spikes that can occur when digging in hard. Customtone has several patches for a Harris sound, but none of them is compatible with the Effects or Stomp :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
