In this episode of Quick Tips for Helix, I show you how you can create the perfect lead boost in your Helix and HX Stomp presets. In this series I am going to do very short, concise videos on a very specific topic to hopefully help people get the most from their Helix/HX Stomp and dial in great tones. I really hope you enjoy the video and this new series!

So I've been in the habit of adding a gain block at the end of the chain and adding a few DB that way. I like seeing that block lit/unlit when I am tweaking snapshots. When you do it Jason's way, you need to click on the output block and remember what the baseline is (in this case -1.5) to know if it is boosted. Using an added gain block also lets me adjust the overall output of the signal using the output block. I dont know if this is good or bad workflow, but it seems to work for me.

[@marcuscase3308]

I do the same thing. So my heavy lead snapshot is boosted by default, but also gives me flexibility to boost a lower gain snapshot if desired. I play a wide range of rock in multiple cover bands so it’s very useful to run it this way.

[@deanbibb3680]

I use a +3dB boost at the end of the chain like this. The issue I find when boosting isn’t in the boost but coming out of it. I always have a “where did it all go????” moment 😂 Great tip and video, Jason!

[@JasonSadites]

Haha, yeah it can definitely feel like that 🤣 Thanks!

[@bbehrens6906]

Agree with many excellent posters here and Jason as well. I often use a Gain block at the end of the chain or a final Comp block at the end of the chain just as Jason often uses. If I want more of something then I can adjust the appropriate paramter in the block that I want more of and adjust the end gain or compressor level as part of the ssnapshot. I may use the final output block to adjust the overall volume for that preset at stage time at the venue. But to really cut through the mix, I may need to do something else. But that requires a parrrallel path and is another story. Great content Jason. Also, thanks for keeping ti short! I love bite sized content.

[@musicafteroldage]

Well, that is Exactly how I do it. It’s not ‘cuz I am smart - it’s ‘cuz I learned it from you! Haha Thank you kind Sire!

[@picksalot1]

Yeah, I think that's the way to do it, as it doesn't mess with any of the previous Blocks, is easy to change, and doesn't require an extra Block.

[@Dzidza1978]

Thx, for this tip its really helphul, especially as a new helix owner thats strugling with the amount of the options

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

THx Jason! I forgot to use that ...I usually use GAIN on COMP. @ End. :) George

[@stelivesey489]

Great tip, didn't know output could be changed per snapshot. I use an OD for solo as well as a simple EQ at end of chain with a small db increase. I can do away with that EQ block now.

[@rlogue06]

Thanks for a great tip!

[@JasonSadites]

My pleasure :-)

[@wlliamson53]

I use the blue comp as a vol boost.

[@sergerichard1269]

This is how I boost my leads. One question I have is why the -1.5db on everything? Why not a +2.5db for the lead snapshot and done?

[@PorterAsh]

所以在solo的时候2.5db的音量提升是合理的对吗
