- In this video, I'm going to bring you guys along to dial in my first metal rhythm guitar tone on the line 6 helix! I'm using a Jackson soloist with and EMG 81 in the bridge for this one.
Signal chain is Jackson soloist - Line 6 Helix - UAD Apollo Twin Duo

I fucking love my Helix. I've had it about 4 years and couldn't imagine not using for absolutely everything from recording to live.
They are really cool. I do think they benefit massively from loading good IRs if you are using the cab modeling thiugh
@@TaylorDanley bro you got to do the firmware update a lot of good stuff including revv amps and horizon devices
You sir, are my favorite Channel on UA-cam. THANKS for all of your videos! Cheers from Mexico City!
Glad you like them!
You got awesome tones here mate, I love my Helix. Nice sounds you shown here
🙌thanks!
@valhallir.at for the Impulse responses. Pick the Wolverine 2*12 cab V2 pack. Then select the new Revv amp Sim in the helix. Select the ts808 for boost. For stereo, open the B channel, put a 12ms delay in front of the identical chain, set the outputs to left and right and leave the settings as they are. Dual IRs also really thicken things up, but you must be careful about phase issues. Great video, love the content.
Thanks Ben!
I really like these kinds of hands on demos, invaluable when deciding on gear, especially modellers so you know what kind of tone to expect without much tweaking! One bit of constructive criticism, do try and fix that floating pitch/tuning when recording as it gets quite distracting.
Thanks! 🙌
Great sound Taylor !
In this video you are showing exactly what I was trying to know about helix, that is, the possibility of adjusting the microphones on the caninets...which is very refined! Is there a lot of variety of sounds for the heavy genre? or are there few amps?...
Great video. You could use a parametric eq to dial out some of the harshness around 4-5k after the cab block and a tiny bit of reverb makes the sound a bit fuller.
Thanks for the suggestion. I could, but at some point when you start cutting things out like you would if you were mixing, you end up losing some of the aliveness of the amp. I've found that I actually prefer just letting the amp models do their thing in most cases, and trying to dial in with just the eqs from the model.
Also, I know some people like to do that with reverb, but it's not for me. For the most part I like meat and potato noisegate>OD>AMP type signal chains. Thanks for the comment!
Sounds amazing . I want one :)
Thank you for the Demo
This is best metal one made for helix so far!
I've watched like 2 of your vids. Just subbed because of your shirt lol. I'm looking at a helix sometime maybe in 2021
Thanks 🙌. Love Ghost, even though I get a fair amount of hate for it among my metal contemporaries. I just saw them live a couple months back, easily best show I've ever seen!
@@TaylorDanley I too get the hate. I also saw them too not too long ago in colorado springs. Meet and greet! The showmanship is unreal!
Also, you can gate at the input to save some blocks
Yeah on all my patches I use the input block to add the noise gate to get rid of the humm. eveb though I dont use high gain pickups I still dont like the noise. its nice they let you save DSP by adding it to the inpiut block
I see you have eventide on your work table, why? Is helix modulation less good than eventide?
Killer HEAVY metal tone. Does it Djent?? Hell yeah! Keep it up.
Thanks 🙌🤘
Check out the Helix Help website to see the list of all the Amps and effects in the Helix and it shows you what real amp / effect its modeled after: helixhelp.com/

Crackly. If that's what you like though I guess. Shit drives me crazy though.
I was really enjoyed the Hotone Ampero videos that you uploaded. I’m planning to buy one but I’m a bit confused. Everyone is telling me to go for Line6 POD HD500X. I like both the units. Please give me your opinion. Thank you 😃
It really depends on what you're using it for. The podhd line doesnt allow you to load IRs, which if you want to use in a studio setting, with headphones or through an FRFR is a deal breaker - the stock IRs suck. But if you're going to use it as a preamp, it sounds pretty decent. I'd still prefer the ampero, wider selection of amps without having to pay for upgrades, and higher fidelity. Plus the color touch screen is a nice bonus

Your doing it proper, amp first the sift through cabs. The stock cabs sound like ass. Luckily the helix has a super easy way to scroll through IRs. Don’t sleep on the stupor OD. I use that with my archon preset for drop A sharp guitars. Turn on your input gate, 10 mil delay, threshold around -55 the OD, then noise gate after OD set to same as inputs gate.. then amp, IR..... whatevs.. that’s my workflow at least.
The stock cabs sound incredible in my opinion. Put in the time to mess with different mic combinations and distance and you have an amazing set of options.
@@bradylasserre9320 they don't sound near as good as the should man. Especially for high gain tones. Totally ruins the session when I'm trying to dial in a tone on the fly.
@@AndrewStonerock I'll be honest, in a few blind tests, stock cabs won over my opinion. But hey man, whatever works!
@@bradylasserre9320 indeed. Best wishes
Hey my metal brother! Is there any difference between this and the rack mounts processer? I am studio/bedroom only player.Thanks , your riffs are always sick!🤘
Thanks 🙌 I dont believe so... other than one lives on the floor and has foot switches.
i was turning my head sideways when you adjusted the levels lol
Something about the helix amp modelling feel just still doesn't feel real. I want to like it but it's not as good imo as the atomic amplifire
Honestly, I think all modern modelers are good enough to pass as real amps. Besides, what's a real amp anyway, you know?
There is a bit of difference in feel, but in my experience it's not substantial.
WholeLottaBulldog the tone is great. The palm mute feel is not there idk how to explain
if you get a Powercap with the Helix you can still get the AMP IN THE ROOM feel if you dont like the digital sound. The reverb settings in your signal makes a big difference to make it sound less digital
How's that 5150 treating you after having it for a bit?
To be honest, I haven't had time to play it! I'll probably get around to restoring it here in the next couple months.
I was thinking about buying LT but after this hello no. The sound is very synthetic. I dont know why all the raving on the product reviews. Or amybe you just put too much gain and plus that distorition. Sounds like ass
this also sounds like complete garbage
I really don’t get why the companies making these cant pay some you assholes to make them some solid sounding presets. I’m sure it’s always shocking for new users when they first fire them up how awful they sound.
