If you wanna see this setup in action, come to our show:)
Frog Leap Studios ,yeahboy
Do you have gigs in Finland?
I would, but it´s hard to get there as a student.....
Ohhh, nice eletric guitar, in the future i try to go to the show. \m/ \m/
Frog Leap Studios Im in argentina right now so please star the show with out me this time .....
Ooooh, somebody's been busy, 'ave ya?
Edit: ....12 foot ninja cover, maybe?
Robert Bernstein like a frog...
Leaping all over the place...
On a hot summer day on a concrete...
Wow, excellent and thorough review that actually shows the practicality of the tools demonstrated! I have never seen a review this down-to-earth and clear. Thank you, Leo! Great video.
That's pretty amazing.
I knew the musical value of the Variaxe before, but to see it in a real word situation where it's critical to the very existence of the performance is extremely convincing.
Have a good gig man.
Awesome to see how far the Variax has come. I had the original when it first came out, and it was so bad I couldn’t give it away when the time came. Hope the live shows are a great success!
I own a Helix, love it's versatility but I don't understand why people hated so much. Maybe people just like to spend more money and to justify it they say thay ax fx or kemper sound better. To me they sound different but is not day and night difference.
My housemate is a Fractal guy. Swears by that, can't stand the Helix: says it sounds "too digital." I'm okay with that... especially with the learning curve of the Fractal and the Helix (combined with the Shuriken Variax) being so integrated and easy to use.
I guess the hate comes mostly of analog guys...who worship their tubeamps...and therefore every digital piece of gear is the devils work
Line 6 is the Nickelback of gear. Thats why.
AWESOME !!! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR LIVE CONCERT !!
IT WILL BE INCREDIBLE !!
YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE !!
THIS IS THE MOST QUALITY SOUND I`VE EVER HEARD WoooooW !!!! THANKS FOR STUFF YOU PLAYING !!!!!!
Wow! I am no musician. Just your ordinary humbled music listener. The tools of your trade are awesome. Keep putting out the content. You freaking rock man! Love ya. Be safe. Have fun and smile big.
Leo, you are an amazing musician. Keep rocking.
Damn. Once again being remembered why drop c will always be my favorite tuning.
Love the Variax and this is sweet to see your setup! Great video! Love to get you on The Helix Hour sometime!
Much love leo, when i saw stevik explain that guitar i thought that was the coolest thing, the way you use it is so homie though, like you put class into it
Thanks a lot for this Video! You´ve shown in a short time all the stuff than others Need for two Hours! More of These, please!
If you haven't already, check out Twelve Foot Ninja. Stevic Mackay actually designed the Shuriken. Cool band!
Nice to see you walk through this, I got a Shuriken not long ago and love it to bits. Have always wanted to be able to change tunings on the fly, and here you get that (and all with normal string tensions) and much more. Going to be picking up a Helix, maybe the LT, sometime this year I reckon.
Oh man what a sick set up!
Imagine guitar technology in 10 years. This stuff is amazing
fnordi my Les Paul into my Marshall 😬
Love my Helix, planning to buy a Variax, but man I love plugging in my LP to my AC15 straight. I love options!!!!
Those distortion sounds are terrible. Plug into an Orange and you will see the light
The only way it have to improve is tone wise and timing wise, to make it sound more natural and erase any kind of latency it can have compared to the real instrument, also, I forgot, it needs to achieve each instrument's dynamics and the challenge is around the physics involved in each instrument

I've been using this setup on the road with Charlie Farley for the last several months- amazing to say the least. Changing tuning on the fly, the awesome acoustic sound, and ability to play banjo parts is awesome, as well as the ability to switch to open g just for slide parts! I Love it and highly recommend!
Not to mention load in load out lol! Easiest gear to tote in existence!
Great videos man! Your what got me into metal in the first place!🤟🤟 @ Frog Leap Studios
Very helpful Leo! Thank you for sharing with us!
Damn that Helix is a beast.
As of 3 days ago, I now coincidentally own and use your exact setup (shuriken and helix). Now I just need your talent 😂
That sounds surprisingly good for being completey digital. I like it!
just ordered my Helix. very excited about it .
really badass playing bro,
Great tones man! 🤘😉🤘
A.W.E.S.O.M.E! especially sitar. Very cool.
Man I want to see you live! I do hope you upload a lot of, if not all of, the show for those that can't attend!
Leo, great live setup. Should work great for you. Hope you have fun at the shows.
great! I always think that the pitch shifting doesn't sound good, but you managed to use it in a good and creative way.
I just started watching your content, Leo and I’m a huge fan! I just started playing electric about a year now although I’ve been a keyboard player for 24 years. I record my own music for our channel. Love your work mate!
~Freak
That a totally BA setup... as a software developer it still never surprises me what we can do with tech :)
That is a really cool setup! And I've always wanted to go to Norway....
Awesome man, i'd freak out at a live show. Big fan
That's awesome. I hope you post some of the show on here. We all can't make it out to show.
Awesome buddy!
you play amazing man, keep playing like that brother, greetings from mexico man
Finally! Some TALENT on stage.
nice video leo nice setup!!!
Dude that is really cool
Love the thumbnail 😂😂😭
For real though, that thing is beautiful!
I could listen to you play guitar all day.
Nice vid! Same setup here. I have barely scratched the surface on the Shuriken but what a great guitar! Love your channel.
Really dig the setup. Things have changed since my grunge/metal days playing small venue shows just so we could have a place to jam. Miss driving 6 hours to do a show that didn't pay enough to cover gas in my 64 Ford van. Good times. I put things away when my youngest son was born. He's autistic and he came before my pie in the sky dreams.
Would love to see that preset on custom Tones.... or maybe details in another video?^^
I would love to see you guys live.. if you ever make it to the west coast of the US I will be there!
That's my dream setup!!!
Are you going to video record the show? because id totally watch that entire video.
Hope he records it for us utube Junkies :)
Should do it as a live show, then we can all be there. 😀
Awesome setup, very useful to change tuning without tune guitar
This is amazing.
That is really cool.. amazing actually
Hahahahahaha the magician's hat!!! It's amazing always watch u creating your art!
That was super interesting!
that pedal is so awesome
I've been eyeing the Shuriken since it came out.
Nice! Any chance of you uploading those patches / presents up to CustomTone?
AWESOME!!!!
Love the Sitar!
Sooooo amazing 😱
How do you get the distortion effects to sound natural, So far all i get is harsh sounds?
That's one sweet piece of kit loe .
Hi Man did you have to use any lo/hi cut using the ownhammer IRs in a live band situation with Rabea?
I'm planning to use mine live with the band but it sounds as if anything above 9k is just becoming this digital noise and buzzy scratchy harsh tone.
Ownhammer IRs are great, but still i feel like they require a lot of help too.
Does the guitar work with the line 6 helix light? With tunings and all the other options? For a more economical option? Sounds awesome. Good advertising for line 6. I never heard of the guitar before.
Awsome !!!
Hey, Leo! Jeg har Line 6 Helix og planlegger kjøp av Shuriken :) La merke til at du har Line 6 amp «Badonk» ? Mener jeg har oppdatert til siste patch, men har ikke den..
U have any patches available for sale that have been tested "road worthy" for a live setup direct in P.A.? I find many patches sound great recorded or thru FRFR computer monitors but live is a different animal :-)
You're the man Leo. And that set up looks sick. I wish I could come see you guys live,but being disabled and on a fixed income doesn't leave any money to do any travelling.😟
how comes you decided on the helix and not the headrush board for your rig? Are the helix units more durable or anything like that? I'm saving up for a board atm and can't decide between them.
That's so freakin awesome
That solo 5:20-6:06 🔥
La guitarra esta conectada por cable midi a la Helix?
I want a whole 10 hour video of the banjo track, just on loop will be fine
No issues with palm muting here as Leo nailing ghostbusters them palm muting.
if you tour the U.S. I'd totally come see the show!
So Cool!
You can use Snapshot. With the presetchanges you have little Breaks between them. With Snapshots you have tails.
What a fuckin' sweet piece of tech. A little expensive but very cool nonetheless.
A lil expensive? That's $3k of gear w/ just the guitar & footboard.
I just got me a shuriken fingers are killing, what size strings do you use? Its got me fooked. And were the hell do i get workbench? Thanks ledge! Im australian by the way lol
Hey Leo, Great setup. how do you connect Variaz guitar to Helix? is it wireless?
The fuck, this is amazing.
I have that same setup also running it through a fire hawk 1500.
This setup absolutely makes sense for you. I've heard of people transplanting the "guts" of a Variax into other guitars. Might that be a project you'd try down the line?
Awesome!!!!
Leo, your tones sound great. I know you mention using the Badonk amp but I see your patches also have a preamp first in line. What is this and how do you use it?
Any chance you will make your presets availabl for download?
how can i remove the noice and make it more clean sounding? i got brand new cables but still so much noice comes on high gain.. i even put on 2 noicegate but no difference
There's another video on UA-cam where a guy talks about high cut and low cut to cut out any frequencies outside the range of the guitars range, I think it's called how to make the line 6 helix sound like 'real'
Leo .. Killer rig !
I believe there are a 'lot' of people that would love to see this show May 12th. I am one of them. It's lil too far from Canada ... How about you live stream the concert .. C'mon ;)
Hi man ,what guitar model and pickup model would be killer for a metal tone in this guitar ?
It's always been difficult to get a so good sound out of a Variax. Did you use one of the default models or you created it with Workbench?
Damn gear is getting fucking crazy these days. I always wonder what's the next crazy device or piece of gear gonna be and I'm always surprised anymore
Hello, Leo.
How to connect variax guitar to a wireless system so that you can control the switching of models from the Helix?
Are there such devices from line 6?
You cant
The variax is also able to use the modeling inside it standalone without the helix.
Can I buy the paches u used in the first half of the video ?!
Soon it will be difficult to find guitar in a mix, because of Drop "Z" tuning which will go into subsonic frequencies :)
Can you make a video explaining how to setup the Variax and helix together?
I remember hearing that you guys switched from the SR270 to the SR250. Can you tell us why? What were the advantages/disadvantages? Was there a big difference in tone?
Do you find it weird to be strumming a standard E tuning when you're physically tuned to Drop D? do you have to have the amp up so loud that you don't hear the strings?
Yeah you’ll probably want head phones
Wouaahhh
Very cool! I wish they made a left-handed version!
Kult setup! Har du en backup gitar også live da?
