    Been playing in metal bands for over 15 years now. I play black and death metal mostly, but I teach guitar and other string instruments so i need a wide variety of sounds. The HX Stomp has been a great tool for me and the UA-cam community around it has helped shape my understanding of it. A few of your videos have helped me understand it better. Your content is good and that's what matters most to me.

    Nothing is worse than getting set up, putting your IEMs in, and there's a nasty hum in there....everyone going, "Who is that? Who is that!?" I didn't even realize there was a setting for hum, lol. As soon as you described it, I looked at my presets, and turned them all off. Now can reply, "Not me! NOT ME!!"
    Thanks brother!

    Thank you for taking your time to explain all this it really helped. I have used tube amps all my life but I always had someone set my amps up so never knew what they did. I have a Marshall amp for big concerts but my Helix I love it for all the amps and effects and I do take it out for open jams due to the weight issue, I am 62 so it now makes a difference. God Bless you.

    @bones2532 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks a lot, man! I had looked up those things some time ago, when I got my HX-Stomp. But latey, dialing in some new sounds, I got a little bit confused about these settings because I actually didn't notice that much of a difference (due to my rather low drive-/master settings, I suppose). So your rather extreme drive and master settings really helped me understanding and hearing the difference, especially with the rather subtle bias x settings.
    Best explanation/demonstration on this topic I've seen so far!

  • @ghost79ish
    @ghost79ish 8 місяців тому

    Great video! I've been wondering about these for a while and have come across a few videos on the topic, this is the most clearly explained video I've come across yet. I can see myself using the more sluggish style pretty often, but I could also see myself using the more tight style. But more importantly, I have a pretty good idea now of what each individual thing is doing so I can get a lot of different sounds using just the amp model, which in turn will probably save me DSP by not having to use compressors, other drive pedals, etc. Side note: not sure if you've ever experimented with this, maybe you have, but I found that turning the early reflections on somewhere between 20 to 40% makes for a nice sort of always on "in the room" type of reverb, so that too can help a lot with DSP or just fine tuning your tone. Thanks so much!

    I noticed the bias and bias x when set to around 6.2 ish for bias and 5.7 ish for bias x, it cleans up the bridge pickups high e and B strings signal or tonal output sounds. Other than that, thank you for the info. Feel like I got to get a phd in Helix floor sound building physics. Got it 3 months ago and still trying to figure it all out. LOL!

    • @HeyWorshipLeader
      @HeyWorshipLeader  2 місяці тому

      Welcome! Honestly I would look to you to tell me about live metal tones...but here is what I do know, Keep it gained up but maybe not as much as you think because it can get compressed too much too quick. I'd also look for a good IR if you struggle with the stock cabs...but with the stock cabs, I'd blend two mics to get the full range of the speak cab. Also, if you have a good bass player taking up the low end, then your guitar tone doesn't need to be as bass heavy as you think it would be in isolation....let me know how it goes!

  • @JoePariseauMusic
    @JoePariseauMusic 2 роки тому +2

    I'd like to see these settings and how they change based on style.
    For example: In the video you mentioned the sag being lower or higher for metal vs blues.
    How would the settings change for different styles?
    Country vs Jazz?
    Funk vs Blues?
    etc.

      @@HeyWorshipLeader I know right!? I'm a professional musician and worship leader. I play everything from Jazz and Funk to Country and Metal in addition to being a worship leader. I really like how the Sag, Ripple, Hum, etc. affect not only the tone, but the feel and realism especially when using an FRFR like the PowerCab.
      I imagine Jazz and Blues would probably have similar settings and Metal, Funk, and Country too possibly I'm not really sure. What do you think? I've never really seen anyone adjust these settings in a style specific way. Check out Alex Price UA-cam Channel, he does some really great work using these controls too.
