Switchable Tunings | Line 6 Helix/HX MEGA RIG Pt.1 | #line6 #helix #helix3.0
Переглядів 9973 роки тому
Part 1 of my Line 6 Helix/HX Mega Rig build looks at using the HX Stomp in conjunction with the Helix Rack to downtune from standard guitar tuning all the way down to B Standard, or, drop A if you tune the low string down a step. This method uses some MIDI magic to make it work. For this video, I used guitar as the main example of this method as playing a 5 string bass almost exclusively means ...

      Hey man. Thanks for the comment and the view. Look, I’m no pro and I think that’s obvious. I talk about stuffs. I’m not paid to make videos. I did them for my enjoyment and turns out other people like them too. This one had a lot to cover and was more than just a comparison. It had explanations. If it’s not for you then it’s all good - but if I run my mouth in my videos you can feel free to not watch and that’s all good too.

    Great video!!! So... Stomp XL owner here, I can split in 2 chains using the split crossover function... I use 5 string basses, around 200/250 as a value could do the trick then??? Chain 1 with direct signal (compressed, ok...) and chain 2 with distortion when needed, chorus and a bit o reverb

    • @DarrenSMusic

    I have one and use it for all the various bass tunings in a cover band. I absolutely love it, but it does have limitations on bass. Realistically, it's only good for 2 half steps down on bass (which covers everything I need it to do with a 5 string bass). I also wish Digitech designed this pedal with a level knob to address the volume loss.

    • @DarrenSMusic
      @DarrenSMusic 8 місяців тому

      That’s where Line 6 take the ball and run with this effect. You can make a volume adjustment on the unit, but since I have a Digitech again I’m feeling you on it.
