spjunkie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I am new to the world of Helix via the HX Stomp... and I am sad to find no Line6 Modern hi-gain model. You know, the Soldano x88 preamp model. Has it not been modeled in the helix line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou-kash Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Have you updated the firmware to v2.92? https://line6.com/software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 There are a ton of hi-gain models in the current version of Helix. Make sure you've updated to the current firmware level which is 2.92. Here's a list of all the amp models and their pedigrees. https://helixhelp.com/models/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkie Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 oh it's updated. And I'm well aware of the models it does have. I am lamenting the loss of my favorite which happened to be that x88 preamp model. Is one of the hi-gain amps sonicly similar? I'm trying to recreate my patches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The obvious point to start are the preamp versions of the Solo Lead or the amp sims with master/sag/presence at 2. Keep in mind that the cab makes up for a huge part of the sound. If you still have the podxt you can play the hxstomp with only the amp sim on into the podxt with only the cab sim on and vice versa.This way you can match the amp and cab one at a time in isolation.

spjunkie Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 yea I'm gonna play with cab sims on the solo lead. The x88 was essentially a pre-amp version of a soldano sl-100 so I should be able to dial something in the ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That removes the power amp modeling completely which.... in theory..... should turn it into an x88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
