Samdbl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I actually do t derive joy from endlessly tinkering with the minutia of post/pre eq and ir combinations, etc to find great sounds. What is the consensus of where the best presets are to be found? I’ll pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think the best presets can be purchased from Helix Marketplace. They all have samples you can listen to before purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the consensus of where the best presets are to be found? I’ll pay. Nobody does. Trouble is, there's no way around it, and if you think that someone else's patches are going to save you, you're mistaken. When the only common denominator is the Stomp, and the rest of the rig from the guitar(s) used to create the patch, to the playback system, to the player's himself, to the volume at which it was done are all a complete mystery, any hope of tonal continuity from one guy to the next is pure fantasy. Any patches you buy, you'll end up having to tweak anyway. No matter how awesome the demo video sounds, it's not gonna sound identical when you fire it up on your end... that much is a guarantee.

Spoiler That is a good point. Although slight tweaking I don’t mind. There are just some things I don’t get and will never get about these types of units (the extremely deep eq, ir’s, parallel paths) and I’d like to get something that’d get me maybe 60% there at least.
