Love this quick and concise !

[@zachswiftmusic]

Having the visual icon as an indication of which device each component is modeled after is very helpful. I wish those icons were on the helix or even the editor software.

Can we have a Variax pickup for DADGAD and Drop D please.

[@LatchKeyKid]

You forgot the IR Mate!

[@Rock_Night1970]

Thank you very, very much for this! 🙏

Hello there. Can I replicate these settings for Hx Stomp box also? Cheers. Great Video.

[@francoisaujard3794]

Hi, I tried your sound and it's really cool. I tested it with a Variax James Taylor, but with the Accoustic - 5 and I have a big saturation when I play around the B chord. With the other accoustic guitars no problem. Have you an idea?

[@martinhmh7]

Is this for a MIC'd acoustic or an electro acoustic? This sounds distorted with my Gibson J45.

[@jharrismsu]

Is there a factory preset on the Helix LT for acoustic guitars that exists already? What is its name?

[@minidyrus89]

Line 6 I need your help desperately because there is this one this with my Line 6 Spider V 60 mk II which is ticking me off. One day I fired up my amp thinking I was gonna have an amazing day of licks, but suddenly the display screen turned dim, it's not like it completely turned off, but I want your advice or tips on how to fix it.

[@robindanneels3750]

Hello,great video,will it sound good because my guitar has an acoustic preamp fishman ink 4.thanks anyway ☺️

[@captureinsidethesound]

Unless you use Fishman's Aura technology, there is nothing you can do to make Fishman's UST pickups sound decent, let alone faithful. Number one rule in audio reproduction is "Crap In, Crap Out" so there is nothing to can do but polish a turd and make it sound "different", barely musical. UST pickups will always sound nasally and distorted regardless of what you put after it like FX. Ive always just ripped out the Fishman pickups and replaced them directly with a JJB or LR Baggs Anthem/Lyric. The JJB sounds worlds better than a UST.

[@robindanneels3750]

@@captureinsidethesound thanks for the comment,is it possible to play tru a Taylor IR?. I hear that alot of people play thru an IR of an acoustic guitar🤔

[@lucienrobidoux3692]

Very interesting.

[@ronsom1976]

Monkey is not running on Apple Silicon - how can I set my Variax to factory setting else?

[@DustinPlatt]

I want one.

[@flapjackbeans]

Great vid how do i move the block to the front of the chain ? Was right with you until the 12 string sim you said to be a front then i was knackered no idea how to move it to front

[@DeskLazer]

dunno if you ever got a reply on this, but it looks like the knob lets you nudge things left or right. just push left to move it to the front of the chain like he does on the video.

[@flapjackbeans]

@@DeskLazer Ive give up on HELIX its back in box gathering dust .. Back to good old Tube amp for me.

[@DeskLazer]

@@flapjackbeans aw that's a shame. I don't have the hardware unit, but the software is really cool. So many possibilities!

[@humanimal5527]

@@flapjackbeans you push the action button to move blocks

[@Nicky-T]

Wow! It would sound SO much better without the obligatory reverb (aka: mud). In any case, actually stating the changes made with the parametric EQ would take maybe 40 seconds more. That, imo, was the most important element in the video. Kudos for making it concise.

[@walkinginthewestvirtualwal689]

Way too fast. To help us list the settings and chain for the preset you demo in the description box below

[@guybennett5266]

Helix is great for acoustic guitars … but not piezo pickups .. still amazes me that people,use them ,.. the sound of a natural acoustic guitar does not come from underneath the bridge , so why would you put a pickup there ! You wouldn’t put a mic there either .. sound hole pickups work so much better ..

[@guitarsan]

Piezo on its own does suck. That's what acoustic IRs are used for. Search for it.

[@saddamali666]

when are you going to make videos about this spider v 240 mkii hd that I bought? It's my first line 6 and i have questions if i'm going to spend more of my hard earned nursing dollars and back aches on a TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR foot pedal i need to know i can get help quickly. relatively quickly.

[@soumoulou]

For record there's a lot of noise. For live ok ;)

[@Yanksy]

Bro…set up your guitar properly.
