I'm also a Fractal FM9 user, but I still have my HX Stomp. I stayed to the end, but partially so I could tell my metal only Helix friend about the new update regarding the 5150 III. I love you guys, and always enjoy your videos. :)
I'm a Fractal user (just upgraded to an FM9) watching this out of curiosity. Yay for Line 6 finally implementing the Ecstacy and 5153 amp models into the Helix...but yes, as you said, been enjoying these on Fractal units for years now.
3:43 Speakers make a huge difference. Honestly, if you take a similar amp tone, and switch the speakers (not to mention the mic and mic position) you can get way more variation than just switching to a different (but similar) amp. For example, if you are using a Marshal style hi-gain tone, it will make more of difference to your tone to change cabs/ mics than it would to switch to like a Soldano or something similar to a Marshall.
Yes we have quite a few presets that are set up that way. The Ecstasy preset we made for this FW, as well as the Mesa Lonestar, Bogner Goldfinger, Friedman BE100, and others from our Tone match line of presets.
I just discovered that this is the first Helix update that will not work on Windows 7. (Yes, I am still holding on to my Windows 7 PC that I built myself). HX Edit told me "no updates available" so I went to the website and found that the 3.80 update is not supported for Win7. Very sad.
Thanks Erik! Seems to be a common theme where people try to use God's name to attempt to shame us in order to get something for nothing. Which to me seems a lot like taking His name in vain. But I digress... 😅
Excellent demo on the new update as always!

Thanks so much! 5150’s seem to be getting a lot of love. Fractal also recently added some (the Stealth model, I think?)

Welcome fellow fractal user 👍🏻
bro, that pink Charvel and those Fender tones...feel like I'm back in 1986 all over again!!!
Sean getting some of those “Mick” chords in there. I was listening and not watch for part and was like… did they do a cross with That Pedal Show? Lol
I was reading your comment as he hit the that pedal show intro chord.
Bradford’s Halo performance made my day.
Bradford's playing sample at 19:55 was awesome
Love these
Who else caught The Night Game- Outfield?
🤜🏻🙌🏻

For sure! It's a huge factor.
21:35 Yes I am, Bradford!😂
Is this the John Cordy update!
Do y’all have any patches using multiple amp channels? I almost never see people use them anymore.

Halo 🤟
First!!!

Yep the older version 3.70 got problems with win7 - drivers are no longer digitally signed
I get that you built it i built mine also but why not update windows from 7.
If you were really Catholics you would give the presets for free instead of charging for them .
God will punish you in the worst possible way.
We aren’t Catholic. Guess we dodged that one! 😅
Y'all should get paid for your hard work!
