Trying to get some usable sounds out of my helix. What amps and cabs are you using? Any advice?
Used one for a bit… got rid of it as tube amps are more my thing. However, good external irs were key for me with any of these modelers. Line 6 irs SUCK. I’d recommend bogren digital irs.Trying to get some usable sounds out of my helix. What amps and cabs are you using? Any advice?
Exact reason I stuck with a tube amp. I was like if I’m going to use a power amp and real cab to make this thing sound good…. Why not just use the real thing.Yeah, you definitely want to get some 3rd party IR's with it. I've had good success with Ownhammer and York. But generally when I play mine now, it's into a SD powerstage driving a real cab with the IR/cab sims off. As for the amps, with what I do, I like the Angl Meteor, the Archon, and the Badonk. Might want to use a boost block as well.
