How to change the Helix feel with compression...

Check us out at: www.tonejunkiestore.com
Let's talk about compression and the feel of the Helix, how to change it and how to get it feeling just right with compression before and after the amp.

LA Studio Comp is my favorite helix comp. I use it the same way as you do. and 100% gives "the feels"..

I love your videos and honest statements as well as your sense of humor. I hope for more of your helix related videos in the future

This has been a game changer for my hx stomp. I’ve been using the tonematched presets and the compression tricks have brought the stomp alive, it’s really addictive to play now

"Heel of the Felix"...I'd buy that shirt.

Great tip! Thanks HW

always original unique thoughts on gear and licks!!

Super helpful! Would be super keen for a two rock tone match down the line 👀👀

[@chrisparrott5158]

Have you tried changing the input impedance to improve “feel”? I think it makes a difference, but it could just be in my head. I set it all the way to the right. 1M ohm

I’m tempted to finally get myself a Felix. Nice compression settings, gotta try this out HW!

[@ToneJunkieTV]

I’d hold off, Felix 2 is rumored to release soon! 😂

@@ToneJunkieTV Noooooooooo, mine is arriving tomorrow...:(

[@jeshely]

Very nice indeed. So I guess those are meant to be always on compressors that kinda become part of the amp sound itself.

[@jonoftheford]

So it’s like a sag control that actually does something perceptible with maybe a little bit of speaker dampening simulation and something like a high SPL effect?

[@jorgemauriciomercado288]

Have you thought about trying an Axe Fx 3 ?!!!

Mars Astra ?? ready to buy???? for helix ??

[@orlandocarrillo8730]

wait so you're leaving on both the compressors on?

[@kristmasi]

The kemper has the “Definition” option to change the tone. Does the helix have something similar?

[@rafsnchz]

I have Kemper and I don’t like this “definition” thing. It just makes any profile to sound the same, it’s very gimmicky in my opinion. If you have your favourite profiles, you have to be very careful using this definition thing on them.

[@rockkstah2550]

Fixed my helix issue for 6 years by getting the Kemper profile stage😂 Jokes aside I have both of them like em both(leaning words Kemper more)😁

[@rafsnchz]

i never had Helix, i play bass and i wanted something that will sound good on both, I’ve tried Helix plug-in and didn’t like it on bass, so i bought Kemper Stage. One thing i hate about it - it’s heavy as fuck and screen sucks too, but we have iphone and ipad app, so who needs a screen.

Victory Kraken tone match?! 💁🏻😅

[@ericajohnson7535]

tried the compressor and it made it worse... I have a distortion pedal on at all times in my chain, and clean up the sound by subtracting the input signal.

[@thebrunoserge]

Still sounds like the helix has no pick attack, so weird. Once you hear it/feel it, can't unhear it

[@henriquewuensch]

omg, just bought the wrong marshall pack because I thought that these pack was already released, so awful
