richietattz Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I am new to the Helix and I already love it.. i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are certain people who post great presets on the forum .. i play in a original rock/hard rock/ metal band but we also do covers of all the great bands.. Any help steering me towards some great presets would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just control the split to the amps with a switch but use a volume block instead? See attachement. PRS Archon Mod.hlx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help steering me towards some great presets would be awesome Helix is wonderful. Customtone is not. When the only common denominator is the patch, and absolutely everything else is different and/or a complete unknown...the player/playing style, guitar, pickups, the monitoring method used, the acoustic environment, and most importantly the volume at which the patch was dialed in...any hope of continuity from one guy to the next is a pipe dream. If you want proof, download anything you want from Customtone, and see how closely the description fits what you're hearing. It might have sounded glorious to the guy who created it... with his rig, under the unique conditions outlined above. But the odds of it working for you without significant editing is almost zero... and if you do happen to stumble upon one that's perfect as is, it's just dumb luck. What's the moral? Create your own sounds. You'll get to where you need to be faster and with lot less grief, and without wasting hours searching, downloading, and auditioning dozens of patches to finally hit the one that you'd find useful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every bit this. Just as you'd do with a normal guitar amp - you don't download sounds for those, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help steering me towards some great presets would be awesome Here is what i do I look at pedals and board that some bands that i like and build my board around that sound (I'm in a Punk band, so think Green Day, Sum 41 sounds and mix it together) Check out this post for ideas. If you have a certain sound that is reminiscent of a band than check out this links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot I did that, I fixed it so that both amps are on the same path and one is off PRS Archon Board 2.hlx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
