Setting up the Line 6 HX Effects for my Dad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Please note: The Hedgehog D9 is based on the Maxon SD9, not the tube screamer! (whoops!) Thanks Joe!
In this video, I help my dad setup his new Line 6 HX Effects pedal.
He's using a custom Tom Anderson Cobra T with Tom Holmes pickups into a '81 Fender Vibroverb Reissue.
In the first part of the video, we recreate the sounds of his tradition stomp boxes, including, an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer and a Boss Chorus.
"This is the chorus
This is the tube screamer
It works"
Same, dad.
"I want to enhance the sound not replace the sound" may your words be heard in the entire world pops.
these are wise words for tone
bless
So much wisdom in a small bunch of words! Go further pops! #MakeTheMusicGreatAgain
This guy is a legend
I think it's awesome you did this for your dad and that you shared it with us. I lost my dad a couple of years ago. Treasure every moment you can get with him.
Was thinking about my old man as well. Would have been cool to share a mutual hobby
Lost my dad a year and a half ago. He taught me my first guitar chords.
This was tremendous. I found myself getting a little choked up.
My dad was a drummer, he died last year. I kept a few guitars at his house and used to jam with him whenever i went out to visit. I had to dry my eyes too after watching it, but a really sweet video.
I would say the same thing when i saw the video !!
Thanks for the red arrow in that picture of your dad in the 70s , I couldn’t spot him !
Lol
@@monkklein8282 LOL hahahaha
He stuck out like a turd in a punchbowl, didn't he?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nickcarpenter1196 He stuck out like a Trump in a row of fantastic presidents. Now he is going to nuke Nevada, I was told. Please handcuff him to his own bomb? And push the button? Are you all living in the turd world? Normal presidents would not think about dumping radioactive waste into the atmosphere. Yours does. Can't you feed him some Polonium for breakfast? Just as a demonstration how fatal his waste will be? It is a bit rude, but when you all accept a nuclear test in the US, grrrrr.
I just love how your dad really just wants to play rather than twiddle knobs. And he has real soul when he plays!
"So you can get 6 pedals with one preset..."
"It's a lot."
Man I wish my guitarist would say that
Well done. Love seeing real-world application instead of the usual comparisons, demos, and tests. Nothing beats a real-world scenario for seeing what a product can really do.
This is by far the best HX Effects demo on UA-cam. Not only do you get a real world demo creating good tones and how to use many of the units features, you also get great entertainment from a great father/son team. You're both great players, to boot!
This video convinced me to get the HX Effects.
About half the video in I started looking for prices online... then I remembered I play drums.
That's how convincing this video was! :D
11/10 video!
Cheeky Breeky
It’s cool that he’s really open minded about the new stuff!
many "old people" aren't that way sadly (not everyone ofc.)
Your Dad is awesome. You're lucky to have him. Treasure him.
The Helix sound quality is mind blowing.
Great video mate, very enjoyable! 😄
Lucky to have that great of a dad. Mine just collects beer cans and beats me. P.S Your dad needs his own youtube channel!!!!
SRNF mine talks to me once a week
Welcome to the "My dad was bad" club.
Mine makes me collect the beer cans and then beats me
Mine used to ask me to go an buy beer for him, then he would drink, asked me to clean then beat me
My dad built my first tube amp for me.
And he didnt beat me
man i love how u teach your father and showing him how to use modern pedals. lots of ppl dont have patience with there family for such thing , you really great son!
“...it’s too clippy” - perfect description. Your dad is a classic.
This is the single video that convinced me to go Helix Effect or Stomp.
After dual hip replacement, I can totally relate to his comment about losing balance with a Wah😂😂. This dude is a king. Thanks for sharing him with us!!
this is the wholesome guitar content i come to youtube for
Hey, your dad is gold! Please bring him around more often. We'd love to see more of him!
What a cool father son interaction. Dad knows exactly what he likes and son knows just how to get it ... BEAUTIFUL!
I love your father. I lost mine. I might want to borrow yours.
Same here. It's funny when you're with him and just going about your daily lives, it feels so normal that you can't even fathom life without him, then he's gone, just like that. And then the regrets come creeping in. "I never told him this, or never told him that..." and you feel awful. But then you think that he knew. He knew you loved him, he knew you liked playing golf with him. He knew you appreciated him coming to your little league game even though he works nights and should have been in bed. He knew all that stuff. But if you can tell him, let him know now. It will save you a lot of heartache down the road.
My heart
The song Time by the chambers brothers changed my whole outlook on rock. That's to your dad.
Everybody's saying the same thing, but here comes another one. I could tell your dad was tickled and that you got to spend time with him doing this for him is great. Trust me, you'll be glad some day. Plus you did get some great sounds, and tell your dad he has some younger(ish) players that admire him, he's a cool cat and a really good player. (When you were playing the riffs toward the end, he looked so proud and pleased at your playing.
This was price less! My son and I both play bass and guitar and have spent hundreds of hours talking gear, tone, everything else music. You’re very fortunate to have each other!
Band geek is great too!
Pop's the best! You're a good son Richie!!! Enjoyed the video.
Dude, I love your dad. Thank you for sharing. I think I'm putting an HX Effects on my bday list.
This was fantastic. It demonstrates exactly how I’d want to use the HX Effects. Most product demos try to show off the product’s potential by having all guns blazing all the time. But 90% of the time I really just need a good drive effect by itself. Plus you gave me a basic idea of how to use it. And you guys are very entertaining together.
"...to sound like a cheesy guitar player... like you..." SAVAGE! LOL
You are so lucky. I lost my Dad 8 years ago. You should record an album with him! He's a fantastic musician.
I lost my dad just a few months ago. I used to help him with his tech stuff, and I know we both loved spending those moments together... I really miss him!
This was so wholesome! My Dad got me playing and I lost him a few years back. Thanks for sharing.
Richie, you are so good helping your father out like that.
Dad is a wonderful and sensitive musician. Love his touch.
Time has come today, great Guitar player seems like an even better father!
I love this. Thanks guys. I miss my dad. xx
Fisto Misto Aww. Bless you. I'm sorry for your loss. My partner lost his dad and mum this year. Treasure your parents those of you who are lucky enough to still have them around whilst they're still here. xx🌺
How lucky you are to have a dad like him and guitars a bond you both share... AND he’s funny !
Great father / son time! The H-X really ups the ante for the John and Richie Castellano Live Blues stream later this year, eh?
I hope Line 6 has seen this. Thanks for sharing it. I want to go hug my Dad now.
There is so much to learn from your father's simplicity! May God give him health and years and years of playing. From Pakistan. :)
Loved this. I'm between you and your dad in age. I've lived in both the old school amp/pedal world and also the modeling/multiFX world. It can't be overstated: it's a great time to be a guitar player.
Your dad seems like a wonderful person, I wish him a long life!
I've hated Line 6 for years but I feel like I want one of these.
Line 6 gets a lot of hate for their Spider series but their high end effects stuff is definitely worth consideration.
So dad now takes his son on every gig for tech support 🙂 Brilliant video, best ever.
Great video. Wonderful to see the son showing his father new things. My father was a drummer and we use to play together. This is the things you cherish forever 😊
Not a minute in and I'll BLOWN away! My dad drove a truck for Sears and installed stoves, fridges and whatnot, no wonder it's taken me a lifetime to learn. Bless your already blessed heart!
Dads a good player. Amazing to see how much the audience loves the father son interaction. People really respond to genuine family warmth.
Just the kind of video we needed, a true comparison of the Helix with other pedals and dialing it in. This is awesome, would love to see more like this.
Keep up the great work!!
I had a smile on my face the entire video, especialy when he asked, Can it do a wah? your reaction,...sigh... ok good question. the way you interact with eachother and you listening to him, and giving him what he wants is great.
Your old man has a great sound when he plays! I’m willing to bet he’s a Roy Buchanan fan. A couple of licks he played reminded me of his sound 😀
You guys have a beautiful relationship...the way you get along. Mutual love and respect with humor.
Your father have a great tone! You can always hear the level of experience of a guitar player in simple chord progressions...
You should invest in a Kemper and profile all those vintage Fender amps
The device per se ist nice, but to see this interacting between father and son in this harmonic way, was warming up my Heart.
Many thanks for this couple of minutes.
Helmut
As you were teaching your Dad, you were also teaching me, Richie! I got an HX Effects a few weeks ago and until your excellent tutorial, I was a bit lost. I am now creating presets like a boss!
Probably the most basic explanation and demonstration I have seen for the HX. THANKS!
Don"t want line 6 ,but a father like this
Fantastic video: multi-effects is all about solving real-world problems and having your dad there really made this an excellent demo.
I love how you can see him getting excited about the new effects. Like he starts feeling it and just starts jamming.
Dad of the year awarded !
Can't deny, his every day tone is pretty awesome!
I'm only ~14 minutes through and I will watch this whole video, but I did want to comment and say how wonderful it is for you to help your father in this way. That's so kind and I love your dad's facial expressions. It's so cool that you two can bond in this way with music. This video is so positive and warms my heart. Bravo.
Really cool, but even better is watching father and son together. That's what it's all about to me. Beautiful playing guys!!!!!!!
that was exactly the same feeling with me, when I was watching this
This is such a unique video. Never seen one quite like it. I love how you have introduced your Dad to the new technology. I have a talented Dad who plays many instruments from his generation and can relate.
Loved the video! I like your dad, I bet he has a ton of gig stories! I lost my dad about 8 yrs ago and was never able to relate to him musically.
best gear review to date period
This was fun to watch! Your dad seems like a cool guy. My dad is musical as well as my late uncle (RIP). Jamming, noodling around and talking about gear was and is always a great time.
Wow, amazing bag of chips and buttons and knobs. Thank you for this practical demo.
This is a wonderful video. As much fun enjoying the to and fro of your relationship as the pedal itself. Thank you. A joy!
I don’t even want this pedal. I just stayed for your dad. Cool dad.
"You want an expression pedal"
Nah it throws off my balance.
Cool to see you do this with your Dad. Line 6 is killing this stuff. Just amazing!
As a new HX FX owner this video is exactly what I needed. Great job
This is honestly the best walkthrough for this piece of gear on UA-cam
It is fun to see you and your dad together.
Just ran across this again. Teared me up a bit. I miss my Dad. I wish and hope you and yours an awesome Father's Day. Thanks for the tutorials.
That was great man. Your Dad is a great player, and you hooked him up with some sweet tones.
I'm old school too. Great to have a Son to help out. Awesome . I may have seen your Father play , when they played in CT. Yes many years ago. Great job, you have to love that Line 6. Thanks again. Bob
@Richie Castellano, dude, I love your videos. This video was especially fun for me. You are so blessed to have a father who shares the same passion for music as you do. My father passed away in February this year (2019). He never liked me being a guitar player. Sad! But I had to stick to my guns and I've been playing for 41 years. I'm buying the HX this week. Thank you!
Of all the videos on the Helix HX Effects, I have to say, this one was the most useful and entertaining! I also had no idea I could have 2 effects on one switch AND rename it so very useful too! Great job!
I love what your dad said about the delay setting he wanted, to "enhance the sound, not replace the sound"
Good to see the Dad son thing. I lost my Dad and he gave me my first guitar a loong time ago. He enjoyed my gigs and playing so it's truly great to watch your interaction. God bless you both.
Some people just *know* good tone and your dad is one of them! (and on a side note I was 50/50 on buying the HX before this vid and now I'm sold)
Your dad is the real thing! By serving his basic blues and soul needs, we can all see how this tool can take the place of a lot of pedal swapping... and add more to whatever more we would do. I'd like to be more like your dad now. (Love to your family)
it's great to have the old man who's still a wild child at heart . i've seen a few of your
youtube videos and the both of you are (both!!) pretty hot on the guitar.
no slouching when it comes to picking those strings, from either of you.
you can see he's so proud for your talent, and knowledge on new gear ideas.
your dad will probably prank you one night and turn up with a axe fx or something
you can see it in his eyes the old geezer aint over the hill yet 😊
The apple didn't fall far from the tree, Richie!
Awww your dad smiled when u introduced him. There was such grace in his smile I knew he was a good man. My regards to you both
great seeing you two work together
Fantastic video. It was lovely to see you share your knowledge with your dad and to get him set up with a rig that will inspire him even more. Thanks to both of you!
You're a good teacher. Nice playing Dad!
Really appreciate the little storytelling that goes with the test, that's how you stand out from the mass!
Pop is a legend. Big love all round. This really helped me decide on my next effects set up.
Your dad needs a channel. His playing and tone is incredible.
Nice to see your father open to new technology, is no easy for many musicians, and is great to see how both enjoy the music passion.
The most precious thing, just having fun with your dad, thumbs up folks.
Your dad has a whole lot of soul, you both seem like wonderful people with a whole array of tone, keep it up Castellano!
These are $100 off for October. I have a simple pedalboard and this video sold the HX effects to me. Small, uncluttered, easy to use and sounds great. Cheers :)
This is just fantastic ... a real world review of usable tones that guitarists want to hear coming from this device..... the whole video is spoken by regular guys in plain English. Your dad is the coolest .. Enjoy
Very nice to see the father-son thing. Thanks for sharing 🤓
What a wonderful time with your dad, sharing a common love for music - Treasure these memories!!!!
