spjunkie Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Recently watching some real ones in use on youtube, I miss this model from my POD. Yes, technically I could just use the SLO model... anyone else miss it as much as I do? Is there a way to get a similar tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trial and error with the closest model available... and you've already noted which one that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The SLO has been one of my goto amp models ever since I got my Helix over 7 years ago. But then I just evaluated it on it's own merits not compared to something I may have used in the past on other modelers. Everything it does, it does quite well IMO.

PaulTBaker Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 what settings are you guys using for the Solo LD? Especially for the Gain, Master, Channel Volume. I have been going back and forth on high gain/vs low master and vice versa. I understand the difference between Gain (preamp distortion, smoother) and Master(poweramp distortion, more beef). I am using the master between 4 and 6 or 7 and the gain between .5 to 4 or 5. I have not had a chance to play loud (with a band) using these presets, so I'm curious if the lower master will cut through (I know eq matters, but not talking about that here). So, please post what you are using if you don't mind sharing. Thanks. or point me somewhere where this is already posted. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease1991 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This is definitely a Model that is missed on my end, I've ran the SLO models in helix against the Hi-Gain Modern in pod farm, through a oscilloscope and eq, with tone generators and have tried to get the same thing that it does, but the it seems the HG-M model is just a beast of it's own, from the eq it appears that it doesn't add certain harmonics like the SLO does, which i think is what gives it the unique tone that it has, I'm just starting my dive into getting that sound in Helix, so i'll try to through some stuff this way if i get close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
