👆 Line 6 Helix LT Floor Amp & FX Modelling Unit - tinyurl.com/y394ay5p
The Line 6 Helix LT is a lighter, more streamlined version of the highly-popular Helix standard. Boasting all of the same amp and effect modelling technology of its bigger brother, but with less footswitches, a simplified interface and not as many inputs and outputs, the Helix LT is still a valid choice for the serious musician.
With over 200 amp, effect, cabinet and microphone models available, the Helix LT is the epitome of a versatile, all-encompassing floorboard solution. It's fair to say that Line 6 has come a long way since its first digital amp modellers from 20 years ago. Now offering incredibly convincing reproductions of desirable, renowned amps and effects with its award-winning HX modelling engine and dual-DSP, there's a reason why many modern players are turning to products like the Helix LT.

Dang, to see a Bass Trio makes me wonder if these jams can get anymore intense and creative! Really nice tones to show here, and you guys never fail to impress with these Bass Jams!
@the3-dkiller1 Ahh well....
*Between you and I, I prefer Bass over Guitar....* haha!
That intro was a joy to watch, guaranteed to put one in a good mood. :)
Oh my days - that Pino P is a dream. I was in the store and played it the other day - yes, it really is as good as it looks / sounds.
I had a gig with 5 basses. 2 upright and three electric. All amazing players, so the music was fantastic. Also, two guitars, keys, drums, percussion, and pedal steel. Somewhere there's a recording.
I have to say I was shocked how much better my bass recording were after I started running thru my Stomp XL. Such an improvement
I like Nathan. At the beginning of this he was definitely playing the adult in the room - and that was actually very useful.
By the end he's slapping and gurning like an idiot. Great player.
That was one hell of a groove. Very cool, dudes
Awesome! The 2.8 update is adding more Bass effects such as sansamp
Chris James there will be a new Tool album before 2.8 comes out...
@@celticbattlepants Brilliant! And actually true!
I was just looking for a video like this
I use an LT for both bass and guitar. Loving it
I'm using mine for bass, guitar, keys and vocals (depending on the situation).... lol
what portable speaker do you plug into?
@@romeou4965 I was running into the fx return on a fender Bassbreaker for my guitar. All my bass stuff is direct to PA with in-ear monitoring so no speaker for bass.
When I see three bass players all i think about is Big Bottoms by Spinal Tap. Would have been perfect for this vid.
First think I thought of also.
I love them each week day. Each velvety cheek day.
Gotta get that big bottom
@@davidf2281 You know what I mean?
@@andrewpappas9311 Talk about mudflaps...
Leo’s classic trio right there
Not a bass player, but really nice to see some new faces - or at least new to me! ;)
I bought my ashdown amp off Caleb. Great guy, knows his stuff, incredible salesman. Cant stand the other 2.
Damn that Pino sig sounds great.
That was legit one of the best bass guitar trio performances I've ever seen on UA-cam, and it's for a promo video.... That's amazing. lmao. You guys are rad.
11:14 this is bad advice. The mix knob is super useful for blending your dry and compressed sound. Utilizing parelell compression doesn't "defeat the point", it's just another tone shaping tool.
All songs, records and tunes should have three basses! It's evident in this clip!
Excellent video -very instructive. Any chance of similar in depth demos of other popular multi-effects units? And I'd prefer you guys doing it rather than the Captain and Chappers - your approach and attitude is far cooler.
Bought this as soon as it came out, it has bass player all over it because there’s less inputs and outputs and expression pedals etc and as a rule they’re not used as much for bass as they are for the show off guitar players out there. As well as being cheaper than the Helix this unit makes massive sense, guitars sound good too through this.
Gotta admit, using the low/high cut to create fuzz on top and clean low end was not something I would have tried. Sounds good though...
Nice Cartier on Nathan. Great vid.
First thing I noticed after the Precision Bass
Lee, we have matching tattoos. Lots yet to do. Cheers, man.
This is the best multi effects I have heard for bass!!😂❤
Sweet jam
I wonder what should I buy, the helix lt (beacuae its almost the same thing in lower price) or the kemper. Im an working bassist and guitarist who looking for 1 good sounding solution for my rigs. Pls help me andertons !!!!
That was cool!!!!
Which one is better for Bass? This one or the Boss GX-100?
What portable speaker (PA or FRFR) is recommended for 5-string bass use? would 8" driver work ok?
Is there a "drop" feature on these ? Something that would drop a standard tuning to half step down, 1 step down, etc... If so, how does it sound with a bass?
Yes there is. And it sounds fine with bass to me
Very very nice!!!
Look whos talking ❤
Actually, it's completely valid and useful to have the mix NOT set to 100% for the compressor; this helps retain some of the natural tone and attack / decay characteristics of your bass.
Yeah parallel compression is great. Also first thing he did was set the mix to 100% on all the modulation effects too, whilst this gets you a certain sound, it is only when blended against the dry signal that they actually work as intended...
It kinda depends HOW the blend/mix knob works in this case... Alot of mix knobs cause phase issues, volume dips etc etc
A think a lot of people forget that Mark King is Nathan's brother. I got reminded at 37:08.
Didn't know that, all makes sense now though!
He was the bassist for Level 42, right?
@@andrewpappas9311 Mark King IS the bassist for Level 42, and Nathan's the guitarist for Level 42.
SPTAH Oh shit, cool
I need a Captain Meets Rick Graham interview! Please make this happen!?!?
Down the rabbit hole for days..!
Does this mean the last Line 6 I bought because it was the only multi fx good enough for bass wasn't actually good enough for bass to begin with? If so can I get a refund?
Nathan is so funny.... he looks like my grandpa when I was teaching him how to use an iPhone... hahaha
I love all about the bass
I'm a bass player and bought the HX STOMP to simulate amps and cabs.
firstly, the video is not explicit in the cabinets they are using...
and I know why.
If you take an electric guitar and connect it to this equipment, it sounds good. The guitar sounds are fantastic and I would say usable.
As far as Electric Bass is concerned, that's another story.
When you hook up a bass to an amp and cabinet block, it sucks. It sounds muffled, without definition.
For some reason, they are using Impulse responses (they could mention where they got it) and 100% compression at the beginning...
Line 6 didn't do a good job of this bass material.
A warning for those with the HX Stomp, you will always have to use a clean bass line with a lot of tricks - EQ's, Comp's, etc.
I leave a challenge for Andertons - Take Pbass, plugin directly to the Helix.
Then add an amp and a cab, adjust the volume and show it here.
If you want, I can do it, so as not to fool people.
If you notice at the beginning, the 3 bass have IR's. Plus, when they ask for a clean bass sound, he puts IR's. why not put the HX Cab's? have all the mics, distances, etc... why? for what?
Remember that the expert guy spent a year experimenting and checking how to work with this pedal. Shouldn't it be intuitive?
How many basses are there in the world?- Precision, Jazz, Music man.
The rest of the electric basses float around the previous ones.
If you search - How to get a clean bass sound with Helix/HX on Google, you'll find it's a hot topic.
it's not easy to go as it should be.
and if it's not easy, it shouldn't be shown as such.
Why?
So out of all the m multi effects out in market at moment in your opinion is best for bass.
22:33 "For me... I mean for an idiot, tell me what that means..." lol
Certainly my first question about a multi-effects unit is "What inputs does it have, and in particular how many for expression pedals?" this is a very normal priority
(One of the many guitarists in my band has exactly this and an active speaker as his rig. I'm the bass player and I just plug into an amp, preferably one someone else has provided, because I am a very simple man.)
Top trio
anyone try the FRFR Tech21 Power Engine Deuce Deluxe (1x12", wood build, rear ports, HPF/LPF, switchable tweeter)? looks ideal for helix bass
How many Bass players does it take to review a Line 6 Helix LT ?
All of tgem
Those flats could use a couple decades of mellowing out 🤭 haha
35:09 When's that gonna happen?!? I'd be interested in that!
3 bass heaven.
My brain ran out of capacity! ; ))
Very cool stuff, but i'm gonna lost myself at the start 🤣🤣
I still use my podx3l for bass.
The dual chain is awesome for a bi amp set up.
I'm still at the start of the vid... So not sure if I need to sell a kidney yet
I hate multi-effects live - they just have the wrong 'attitude' ... However, that blending thing is such a nightmare in analogue and I an slowly coming round to the idea of getting some digital into the mix, much against my inner Analogue Snob.
If you like me play with a heavy inspiration from Justin Chancellor from Tool get yourself a Helix and use for the effects... You'll run out of DSP before you can say 'Lateralus' but still.
It's painful watching him use a send/return block for the bass inputs. you can create separate signal chains and assign the returns to an input block, which is the better way to do it.
All day!
How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb? 100 - one to change it and 99 to snort and say Jaco could change it better.
Now knowing what this can do for Bass as well as guitar does indeed place the fox among the chickens when it comes to home studio gear... Hmmm.
I had the FX version. I though the compressors and filters/wah sounded dreadful. The drives were nothing special.The modulations were ok. The reverbs and delays I hardly used. Wasn’t really worth the money for a bassist. Might as well save some money and buy a Zoom. It did pretty much the same thing and in some cases sounded better for a fraction of the price.

15:07 listen carefully
Is it like, radio???
Bass Player: Hurray for more gear
Plugins: We are about to end this man's career
What replacing a bass player?! Good luck with removing a human from a band for a computer plug in instead. 😂
@@gazzy_burns eurobass 2 does a pretty neat job
@@Sticky_Tea I've heard examples and it sounds unnatural. Great idea but it's easier just to get a human.
The guy on the left looks EXACTLY like the guitarist in Level 42. Wonder if he hears that a lot? 😉
Wait a second. Is that the bass player from Frost*?
Captain Meets Devin Townsend
if you are here to hear bass effects go to second half of video
if you are here because of english lesson go for first half
whatever happened to Caleb ??
#1 bass effect bassists love using? FUZZ!
How much though?
Hmm, maybe click the link in the description and it'll show you.
hx stomp for bass?
Same processor so should be no problem. I have one, so after watching this I will be trying!
yessir, more portable and same internals as the Helix LT including parallel routing for separate dry and wet signals
I can't even come close to being able to buy one :(
I'm impressed they brought Kylo Ren out for this
Do you know what I'd love to hear with much greater calrity and definition? It is the noise of the tea swirling around your mouth, mixing in nicely with your saliva, hitting the back of your throat and then you squeezing it down your esophagus. Could I have more of that, please? Preferably throughout the video. That'd be spiffing!
I'm sure the Aussie guy needs all those amp models for playing 500 Miles at weddings
there's too much here!! 🤯🤯
I believe the focus was lost due to some good booger sugar!
Review Mooer GE300, please.
Great 💩 gentlemen
I'm a bass player and there is no worse sound than more than one bass playing at the same time
I'd steer clear of an Omnific concert then
I think the Axe FX III is quite a bit better than the Helix. Both for Bass and Guitar.
wut
Take my money. Well, one sec - how much is it??
~ 1000$
@@RapttorX Hmm, about 800 sterling which is around 930 euro. Nearly a grand for me then. Thanks,
Can't here the bass tone it sounds trebly!
I believe the pronoun for a group of bassist should be known as “a slap of bass players”
Ummm.... GE7 straight to the board.......................................
I would have a stroke trying to figure this out. I'm not stupid, I just don't have the genetic make up to figure this out...
I would rather buy a new amp or cab with the huge money this costs. The Boss system is only $200. Does everything.
the Boss GT-1000 is the equivalent product and its exactly the same price as the Helix LT.
RapttorX he's talking about their dedicated bass multi effects the Boss Gt 1B, equivalent to the GT 1. Bass players tend to use much less than guitar players. If you frequently play both, helix might be the way to go. Lots of bassists are happy without $800 worth of guitar amp sims...
@@Newnodrogbob oh it makes sense now. Yea a Helix or a GT1000 is overkill for just a bass.
Haha, bass players are goofy, god bless 'em!
Well, I’m sure this channel would have you brainwashed to think these freaks all think it’s the best for bass all around, but just remember they have been installed here to make you think that. The reality is the Helix treats bass modeling like it’s a red-headed-stepchile. Just being real. Good luck with it if this sells you on one. Maybe in a few years you’ll get the ultimate upgrade.
Hi JU5TNTIM3. You seem to have a pretty strong difference of opinion. Can you elaborate?
@@FrankieBaker2 I don't recall my headspace when I wrote this, but I can say that I frustratingly worked my way through all the modelers, via all monitoring solutions, and didn't get what I wanted. I thought modeling wasn't for me.
I couldn't understand people claiming it replaced their amps. Helix and the like especially so, as all the amps tended to sound the same after you really play through them. There was something off about them.
Then I tried AxeFX, which also has bass options, and it's won me fully. I was able to get rid of my favorite tube amp (Mesa Triple Rectifier) because I no longer needed it. Through studio monitors or through a guitar cab it feels and sounds legitimate. Real.
@@justinTime077 I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
I play classic rock. I need no effects. I do have a compressor and a chorus. That’s it.
My guys waisted 2:30min of my life with that intro 😂 two basses to much.
Bad bassists¡!
Got a HELIX !!.....not for bass, skip this tricky video, buy a real amp.
Umm.. Have a Helix lt, is insane for Bass.
@@chrisjames7489 I dont know dude, got tube amps for guitar and bass for the studio, just did not work for me, its nice for practicing, but when recording you need to do a lot on the mixing to make sound nice...i dont know, just telling you my experience with it. I use it for RHY guitar, and just layering things before going to the recording stage.
@@FernandoLobo maybe try some of the presets created by other ppl like 3sigmaaudio.com . They hard EQ the amp and the cab as far as i seen and use custom IRs ... you might like them.
@@RapttorX Don't get me wrong....had all the POD'S and versions of Line 6, use them all the time, love my HELIX....i think is super confortable and convenient, but its more GUITAR based, the bass amps are a nice addition, but LINE 6 and andertons trying to sell this for bass players...i dont know..., i just think is not the right thing to do.I just think is false advertising. Been using gear for 25 years now.Does helix replace my tube amps ? hell no...its kinda close, but no.I still use it because it convenient and sound good, but the bass SIMS are not as good as the SIMS for guitar, 100% sure...its just my experience.Did not work for me, maybe it works for you.
@@FernandoLobo ah, i get your point now. And yea. for some reason this is the second line 6 helix bass video from Andertons.
