[@GearZombie]

What's Up!! Hopefully you still enjoy these types of videos. I enjoy making them. Any type of patch you'd like me to take a shot at? Let me know below!

[@MofosRealReviews]

RESPECT for using the god damn stock setups in the helix. These idiots that use external stuff that NONE of us have makes me so mad. 🤙🏻

[@GearZombie]

Thank you!!! I hate it too!! Like, Great now I have to spend more money ;) nah the stock stuff is more than capable of getting the job done!

@@GearZombie “here’s a great tone I made with the helix and you can make it too! But oh wait sorry you have to spend another $400 on plug ins and IR’s to actually get this sound sorry forgot”

[@TVoltG]

@@GearZombie lol. I confused some when I say, I don't use IR's 95% of my usage of my Helix. I run mine as a Preamp into a Powerstage into my 412 all the time.

Hello, and thanks for some awesome videos. Just one question, why do you use 2 gates? I think one usually is enough, doesn't it kill the tone and sustain?

[@GearZombie]

So it totally depends on what you're trying to do and how you're trying to set it. For hard rock especially for rhythm playing a large number of player want the sound to actually stop when they stop playing, not fade or hiss in and out. For harder rock stuff I am one of those guys. It will only kill the tone and sustain if you push the gates too hard. The reason for 2 is actually preserve tone and sustain as much as possible. Setting the input gain at a good level to cut most of the noise with the goal being to back it off before it starts to impact tone. It becomes a balancing act between threshold and decay. But in many situations you can't get that super quite reaction without killing your tone with a single gate. So in comes the second gate. If you approach first gate from more of a noise reduction mind set it will do just that, cut a lot of the noise and that noise that does seep through will be somewhat quieter, so then the second gate will catch that. I don't remember how exactly I set them in this video but my general rule of thumb is to set gate one until is started to kill my tone and then pull back from there until I can't hear the gate. Then gate 2 can gate the signal and just catch any leftover, I do the same thing with 2, dial it up till I reach the point it starts to negatively impact the sound then pull back. This also depends on how hard you're pushing the front end, if you're using a stronger signal or hotter pickups, you're going to fight more and stronger noise. Hopefully that made sense! Maybe it's a good video topic!

@@GearZombie thanks man, it does make sense. I usually just use the input gate to save the block for something else... I'll play around with it :)

What about for that bfmv or early as I lay dying tones with this
