For this week's Dialing In... episode I take a look at the 3 models for the Cali IV that we have included with the Helix. In this preset I dial in 5 snapshots ranging from clean to what I called a distortion+. This was a fun amp model to work with and not one I had played around with much in the past. If anybody would like this preset, you can grab it at CustomTone here:

The secret with those Cali amps (especially the Cali Lead) is the bass nob. I always keep the bass between 0 and 1.5 Beyond that, it gets waaaay to boomy if your are looking for a nice metal tone. Those Cali amps a really different from all the other amps, don't be afraid to put the bass at 0 and the treble at 10, than play with the Eq, you'll get a wonderfull metal tone/lead tone, sharp but full and rich at the same time.

Bass and mids down. It gets replaced with the graphic in the power section. Treble affects the gain and presence to taste. I used to own a real one. Line 6 did a great job with this model and it dials in almost the same.

This model has got me scratching my head. If the sim is anything like the real amp the master should be well under 5. Bass on the overdriven tones very low and recovered with 80/240hz. Also of note the treble is the most powerful tone control on the amp. Settings of 7-10 start to negate the mid and bass to some extent. The 5 band is critical in really dialing in the legendary Mark tones.

I set the master to 3 and the leads to 9. Gives a tighter low end. Master over 5 for me is a total mess. Im running EMG 81/89. Primarily the EMG 81. That metal V or smile on the 5 band.

@@turaly0n Yes this model is not really correct. Got the jcm800 on helix closer sounding with eq to a real mesa boogie.

Correct. I used to own one. The model dials in the same way.

The master never past 4 and the treble is an augmentation of the gain knob. Presence to taste but generally low. Use the graphic instead.

Jason this may be a stupid question but why put the blocks on different paths? And why put two of the same FX as well? Is there a reason regarding sound or I just don’t know tbh. Thx. FYI congrats on being asked by L6 to help out together presets. Pretty 😎 cool. Dream job. Just returned the LT not because I didn’t like it but was looking at the rack and now the stomp cane out. Ok probably end up with that. Tbh I like it better than the kemper. But never better than my amps or a great dirt or fuzz pedal. I don’t use tons of Fx.

Hey Andrew, I did a video about that technique with the 2 gain blocks on separate paths here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKC2hp1upLBphsk Thank you so much :-)

Mainly to free up DSP power as the Helix can only handle so much computing power on each patch and having 2 amps on 1 path eats up pretty much the entire computing power there so you have to put everything else on the 2nd path to be able to make it work. There is a site that is created by Ben Vesco (a great channel to subscribe to as well) that has a table/lookup to show how much each amp, cab, effect block uses in DSP power. Some use little but some use a LOT especially specialized amps or stereo effects. See info here: benvesco.com/store/helix-dsp-allocations/

Jason, I'm curious -- are we hearing your PC+ in your mic as well? Or is it just helix straight to whatever you are using software wise?

Hey Kevin, you are hearing the Helix straight into the computer via USB recorded into Cubase Pro 9.5.

Trying to dial this in on my Stomp. I have a real Mark V. I don’t know, I think Line 6 just doesn’t know Mesa amps. The stomp isn’t close and other sims actually sound more like a Mark series than this.

13:24 poggers That channel two is confusing to me, but you made it sound pretty good. I guess it's neither gainy nor clean enough for me.

Hey Jason I'm getting the Powercab + later today and I love the Cali IV so much. Can you give your opinion of how the PC+ sounded, in the room, on the higher gain settings? I've not seen too many reviews of the PC+ with high gain.

Hey Steve, it sounded really good! I am very impressed with the PowerCab+ with pretty much everything I have put through it from clean to high gain. I think you will be happy :-)

@JasonSadites great video and great Snapshots - I know you were dialling in these tones for you - but you're only a few tweaks from hitting that classic Mark II tone of John Pettruci: Swap the Channel Volume and Master around (so the Channel is about the same as the Gain and the Master is controlling the output) and properly scoop the mids on the 5 band eq ( the classic V shape with 80Hz around +7, 240Hz around +2, 850Hz around -6 and 2200Hz back to +2 and 6600Hz back to +7) and you'll have it

Snapshots 4 & 5 are pretty noisy on my setup, what do you recomend I adjust to reduce the noise. Thanks for the incredable info and presets you provide, I've learn a lot.
@JasonSadites
@JasonSadites 6 жыл бұрын
My pleasure Glenn and glad you enjoy :-) It is probably because of the higher gain settings on those snaps. Depending on what you are monitoring on maybe try lowering the output block to match your monitoring system.

I know that pickups have a lot to do with the tone, but if the master up past 5 on the Cali 4 it’s just a muddy mess on all my guitars.

Have you tried a tube screamer before, with drive set to 0, and level up high? Might tighten up flabby low end.

Paul Williamson yeah I just added a tubescreamer and replaced the cab block with an OH Mesa evh IR. I also lowered the master volume on the dist. snaps and did a little eq tweak and it sounds awesome. I’ve been using his patches a lot lately as templates and tweaking them to my rig and coming up with some cool stuff.
