[@andreajem7v]

Your explainations are always easy to follow, even for a non-mothertongue!! Thanks a lot for it! You make every musician, a better musician!

[@JasonSadites]

Thanks so much Andrea for the mind words and so glad you enjoy what I do 😀

[@SirAnanab]

The info you put together is invaluable for people without much recording experience coming from analog gear. That’s me. You make me get the most out of my Stomp. I already learned so much about eq and compression. Thanks so much!

[@masterofflamaster9166]

You are the best teacher in my life ;)

[@ptortland]

Fantastic video, Jason, as usual! This was exactly what I needed, a down and dirty synopsis of the different types of EQ. The demonstration in Ozone was particularly helpful, since I am a very visual learner.

[@GertBoers]

This was highly informative, to the point of eye-opening! A massive thank you!

[@ArielEduardoAlba]

Dude, this was awesome! You clarified my doubt about the Q parameter. I'll definitely be more mindful of that while tweaking my presets.

[@stevensrp2music985]

Your EQ videos are always my favorites! You’ve informed me of so much! Thanks and happy holidays Jason

[@JasonSadites]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed :-) Happy Holidays to you also!

Thanks Jason as always you shed some light on things that give me trouble. I've been using your 4 cable setup that I seen in your videos instead of just plugging into front of my amp and using the clean Channel. One thing that I know since I use a real amp is that in a four cable method takes away the unnecessary feedback and overdrive sounds when I'm trying to create a patch. For example some of the downloads from Line 6 customtones do not have that good overdrive sound that makes it sound like the artist. Maybe it's the guitar or the pickups or the amp like you said. I can make an easy adjustment in a 10-band EQ and sometimes I put two of them together. I can get for example, a Ronnie James Dio sound like Holy Diver. However, sharing this video and going over these types of EQs is expanding my knowledge to play with them a little bit. Thanks again for taking a time to make the videos that help us all.

Awesome video Jason! Thanks for helping me understand the differences.

[@JasonSadites]

[@JasonSadites]

Thanks so much and glad it was helpful :-)

[@savealta]

Was just working on some patches. Good timing. 🙂

[@JasonSadites]

Awesome and enjoy :-)

[@galelongputt]

It's great to have a tool like Jason(LOL) to help make the complex understandable. Just a little play on words. Thanks, Jason

[@JasonSadites]

Hey who you calling a tool? LOL Seriously, thank you and my pleasure :-)

[@galelongputt]

@@JasonSadites I added the lol and the little disclaimer to make sure you got it. You know you being a Canadian and all...Ya Ok. I'm done now. Sincerely humorous, Gale You have been a great help to my Helix(Speaking of tremendous tools) journey. Well maybe I wasn't quite done.👍😎

[@rockrep]

Love the explanation tying Q values to the range of octaves it effects. If 0.7 effects +/- 2 octaves, and 1.4 effects +/- 1 octaves, does 2.8 effect +/- 0.5 octaves? Just checking my logic on how the sequence plays out. Thanks Jason!

[@TheManfisman]

How do you decide to go with an EQ vs adjusting the amp settings? Awesome examples!

[@lukather1]

Do you have this patch for this ? Thanks

[@markbouwmeester1244]

Great video! Jason, do you use all those EQs at once? Or do you usually just use the shelf and parametric?

[@JasonSadites]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed 😀 Typically I would use the Shelf and Parametric together in a preset.

Hello Jason, I saw your videos, those are very helpful to get to know the settings of Helix. BUT. I have problem with it. I tried to use Global EQ and other EQs, but almost nothing has changed. My problem is that anyhow I set those EQ-s, almost nothing has changed, my guitar's sound in clean mode is still crunchy. If I modify the settings, hardly changes anything. The global EQ I set with bypass button as well (I can see the sign of the global eq at the right upper corner of the display) What I tried: Global EQ: - I set up the low frequency cutting at 100 Hz - I set up the high frequency cutting to 3 kHz - Both gain stayed on zero - Mid freq: 650 Hz - Low Q (I don't know really what is it): 4,1 - High Q (I don't know really, what is it): 0,1 Nothing else on the preset line. My guitar is a Gibson Tribute Studio '50s from 2016. I tried more: - tone potmeters set to zero - level at the Global EQ went to zero I set up an EQ on the preset line (low and high cut): - Low cut: 100 Hz - High cut: 3 kHz - Level: zero - Gain: zero And after all setting the clean sound of the guitar is still crunchy in my headphones (on E, A, D, especially when I play rhythm) What can I do? Thank you.

you know you look a bit like Paul Schulze
