Hi,

How do i get the bass sound from ABA's Does your mother know on my helix stomp?

 

Thanks , 

Al, new user.

 

There's no magic bullet. Emulating any specific tone is a trial and error process. Even if you were to stumble upon a patch that someone created that claims to be exactly what you're looking for, the odds of it being a perfectly convincing reproduction on your end is slim to none. There are numerous variables that affect the final product...from the instrument used to create the patch, to the playback system, to the individual's playing style...all of which are different from the tools that you have at your disposal. The only common denominator is the Stomp, and that's only one piece of a very large puzzle.

 

If there's anything close to a "universal" approach to reproducing a specific tone, it would be to start with Helix models that are the same (or the closest thing that's available) to the gear that was used on the original recording...if you even know what those were. And that includes the instrument you're playing as well...there's little point in trying to reproduce a tone that was played on a Tele when you've got a Les Paul in your lap, but I digress. Otherwise, it's up to you to twiddle enough knobs until it sounds right to your ears.
