Amazing video sir! I agree whole heartedly with this video. As a helix user, when I first got it, I was falling into the world of watching pedantic helix users that really made shit super complex. I find myself playing way more and creating more music and m not so focused on the complex routing methods. I was starting to hate the helix but then watching your tutorials I’ve become a proficient user and more directed towards actually playing music and getting back to what matters most to me.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Awesome!! So happy to read comments like these

[@Guttalaser]

I'm 100% with you about all the topics but about the Headrush i'm with you if you are talkin' about the 108 (yeah, very boxy sound), 'coz the 112 sounds really really good! I have a pair of Headrush 112 in stereo (and a Kali 1000watt subwoofer) and i tweak my AxeFx II patches on a pair of KRK VXT8 or a linearized Monolith headphones and i can tell you that while the patches sounds very "surgical" on my references (monitors or headphones) than they translate very well on the Headrush 112 with a plus of some "life" in it like a live rig must sounds. Even on a pair of Montarbo W17 600watt (real devastating italians 600watt P.A. speakers... not that hype fake 2000watt of the Headrush!) the patches sounds how i expect! ... and... btw... i'm not 14... i'm a 59 old fart! ;o)

Excactly sir i made a same mistakes dialing my multi effects before almost everyday 1hr and taking a break,when i listen again is ended with a bad tone,thats why i make it simple now,great video

[@ukidabek]

You are first person who do what i do. Put delay/reverbs before cab/IR. :3

[@ClifftopTragedy]

The greatest thing I learned any my helix was to put a drive pedal between the amp and cab. Very low gain. It's amazing and I would never have done it except I saw it on a video like this. Maybe even this channel I'm loving alpaca rouge but I'm only getting started with this but I'm so much happier with my heavy rock tones now. I'm tweaking a lot less. It even sounds great in helix native which has never really worked for me before this and v 3.50

[@shaneroberts7672]

I'm guilty of the first one. My last amp was a spider 4. Now I've got a Helix with a 212 Powercab. I've relied on videos and articles to crash course on these topics. So it's been a looong journey. The tone you dialed up sounds great BTW. Thanks so much for the tips. Rock on

[@picksalot1]

I had trouble dialing in my HX Stomp for a long time, which led to a lot of complicated tweaking. Not long ago, I learned that "real" Guitar Amp Speakers have a steep high frequency roll off at around 5kHz, some even as low as 3kHz! The HX Stomp had a "default" High Cut in the Cab Block at 8kHz! Depending on your specific use scenario, that might be perfect, but it sent me down many a rabbit hole trying to figure out how to get rid of the harsh high end so many users complain about. I have the 3.50 Update, and before I touch any other Block settings, I look at the Cab Block, listen to the sound. If it is too bright or harsh, I lower the High Cut to about 5kHz. If it is still too bright, I try different Mics and positions. That usually fixes the problem for me. With that taken care of, I find the Amp Block Parameters to be pretty good, and dialing everything else is easy, and minimal.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Everything you said in this video is certainly true. Good advice. "chug chug turn a knob!" was hilarious. So true. I have been down that rabbit-hole with my Boss Katana and ToneStudio software. Spending all day tweaking patches and saving presets, while suffering from ear-fatigue. A few days later when I pick up the guitar again, all that tweaking sounded like crap. So I have to go back in and try to fix it. And the Katana is pretty simple compared to something like a Helix or an AxeFx-3! I can only imagine what I would do with an FM-9. Spend the rest of my life messing with the endless amount of settings it has. I've actually been using my Katana with pedals, just to keep from going back into the Katana software and tweaking stuff. 😆

[@terrymingle552]

Great video!! We need to hear that patch from 12:20-14:20 though!

[@czarofzonk1360]

Re: Chug a little, turn a knob -- that segue was awesome. Caught me off guard / wasn't expecting that. To add to the conversation... I refuse to spend over $1k on any modeler. I had the Pod XT live for a decade, and I upgraded to the Pod GO (adding the zoom ms70-cdr in the effects loop). The big thing for me to add: pay attention to mono/stereo. Further, pay attention to what is generating stereo from mono versus just letting stereo pass through (or inbetween).

Yes! I like this "keep it simple" logic. I made vid with great metal tone that is dialed in under 2 minutes. And people like it. It sounds better than many of that super weird payed presets with extra unnecessary tons of EQ's, compressors and all that stuff.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thanks for commenting. I hear you, I think if you spend more than 10 to 20 minutes dialing in a preset, you start getting diminished returns. Keep it simple, straightforward and within the realm of what you would do with real gear, and it'll have the best chance to sound good

Love the "Turn the knob" song, it really made my day! I have a pair of Neumann studio monitors, and I can't entirely agree about the Headrush speakers.

[@edb1913]

The hot setup for the modelers is to put the speaker as the first component in the chain, then you add a reverb, then a preamp, then 2 4x12 cabs into a power amp, then you create a loop with a flanger and a phaser, then a delay with the repeats set to 40,000, then you add another power amp, then 4 1x12cabs, then the output into a alto 1x10 frfr. This is the hot setup. Believe me.

[@NedJeffery]

For my Helix presets, every single one has EQ -> Comp -> Amp -> Dual Cab -> Ambient Reverb -> Comp. And that's just the most basic of basic setup. Granted each step is subtle and definitely makes the tone better. But it does make things complicated. I basically fill out all 2 rows in every preset. I don't understand people who use the HX stomp with a single Amp+Cab block.

[@jordanjonz]

Damn, I'm gonna have "Chug Chug Turn A Knob" stick in my head all day lol. Great video brother! I was completely stuck in that loop forever when I first bought my Helix. 99% of people who hear us play at gigs or wherever, have no fn clue what good tone is compared to great tone. Unless you're tone is ear piercing, nobody gives a shit 🤷

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you!!

[@Emily_M81]

LOL I mostly use Kali LP-6 V2s, too XD They're great. If someone really just wants a combo amp, Phil Jones combos are typically FRFR iirc (my BG-75 is). My peasant ass uses a Zoom G6; it has a really weak CPU so I can basically just run an amp, a cab, and a few effects. Done. No multiple routes for me :D Zoom noise gate, Krampus amp, 4x12, and rhythm tone is done. Maybe an EQ in there. People sleep on the Zooms because they aren't a Helix, Quad Cortex, etc but tbh I think it sounds great and it's just simple to program. Thanks for sharing! These will be helpful to people just getting into amp sims, etc.

[@lifeisShort66]

Kinda weird comment about Headrush...I decided to play through them at rehearsal and I got complements on my tone.

[@wooggeek]

I I just got a bias effects riff, and want to use its effects with my real amp and cab. The instructions say I can do this and they also say I cannot do this. I have read that the line level may need to be converted to high frequency for the amp. I haven’t tried anything yet because I need cords that actually connect to my computer. Will I need a ramp box to make that conversion or will that not work at all?

[@SuperCMO79]

So happy with my tubes...Also happy with my katana which I don't do Chug chug turn a knob tooo often(Song of the year), but when I do it's fun. Using a Zoom G6 now as an effects only 4 cable method to my Marshall JVM410 through peavey 4X12 6505 with Celestion V30s. Soon i'll bring up my Mesa 2X12.

Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the community. Glad to have you here. Regarding your question, I think they are pretty much a budget speaker and they kind of sound like a budget speaker if that makes sense.

Tweek all you want! It's your time and your equipment. Regardless of how well you play, if the sound/tone isn't exactly what you want then it will suck for you. when you tweek you are accomplishing everything. You are understanding that you're closer to the tone you want or getting farther away. The better the tone the more you'll want to get better. Wasting time tweeking is much more beneficial than wasting your time taking advice from a video on KZbin.

Great video, the parody Brochannel video was awesome. It's funny with the modeling stuff. Just change what needs to be changed. It's OK if a preset is just an amp, if that's all you need for it.

Other good practical guys are Steve Sterlacci and Scott's Guitar Playground. Edit to add: Bonus points for the use of litany.

Except for the small modulation on modern reverbs (which yours has, but is set to be subtle) it makes no difference if you put the reverb before or after the delay. (Modulation-less) filters, delays, reverbs are all linear time invariant systems unless they clip and can be re-ordered without any change to the system. Try it by setting up a patch with two signal paths and different orders and see if you can hear when you switch between them.

[@EasyHeat]

I can wholeheartedly also vouch for the Kali Monitors. I've got a pair of First Gen LP-8's in my apartment pocket studio rig, and they were a huge game changer for home mixing over my former Alesis passive cans and power amp. Not exactly as clear or quiet compared to the ADAM A7's I worked many hours on in my friends former studio, but that's a minimally critical observation, and considering the LP-8 were a fraction of the cost?! Money well saved IMO.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as modelers and plugins go? I mainly always add one crucial "always on" pedal to the input chain (besides a gate). Regardless if it's a standalone unit (AXFX), or interface + plugin (Focusrite/Orange OMEC, PC/iOS, & Biasfx/ML Labs). An analog clean boost is a MUST. IMO, when used conservatively, it just seems to add a bit more "realism" to the overall dynamic feel of the emulation. If that makes any sense?! LOL! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh, it's also VERY important to slightly dial back the gain of the amp sim just a smidge than what it was that you were used to prior. Very importante amigo IDK but... I've been using this method for a few months now, and I gotta say... It's been a massive improvement. Well, to my ears anyway.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Currently doing this with a trusty old (super underrated) Digitech Bad Monkey OD at home (the active EQ adds just a bit more versatility) with the gain anywhere between 0-3 and the output level between 1&3 o'clock, and it's just great. It adds just the slightest bit of analog hair and compression, but in a way that just sounds/feels more convincing IMO? I dunno. Definitely something worth trying out anyway, and especially for anyone who hates amp sims as much as I used to for sure! Honestly any boost from an Xotic EP, TC Spark, Blackstar Dept 10 (really want to try that one), or even one of the uber-affordable N-UX "Lacerate" FET boosts would definitely do the trick. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ While all of this is obviously highly subjective, it's definitely NOT within the realm of impractical "bro science" B.S. advice, and as always... Results may vary. So I gue... " Holy Sh%tballz!! How TF did I type all that just now!? LMAO! Yeah, I do that sometimes. ha! Someone's ADHD meds obviously just kicked in! Bwahaha!😅 Great video dude.
