foxyFuze Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Should it be of use for those wanting a synthy type fuzz: I've put the Clawthorn Drive in separate path to rest of chain, gain 1.7, tone to taste and put it at around 30% blend using the mixer at end of chain. Great for doing poppy covers that require it without sounding too gritty / metally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked my B3n, they are very good, but yeah it's miles better, but for 3 times the price it wants to be. The transparency if the key it adds to the natural bass tone were as the zoom just takes it all away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollin Thunder Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just spent 2 hours on the Guitar into my Marshall combo, some great guitar effects too, won't use the amp music dels on Gguitsr, but why would I with a Marshall full tube amp, but the Boss DS-1 model is great, as are all the boss blocks, tubescreamer great, and a few gems from more boutique obscure pedals. love the Fuzz blocks on guitar and bass some great stuff. Of course it will be used 80%+ for bass. Also be good for Di I got my acoustic if I ever need to for recording etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Does anyone know if it’s possible to save patches to a Mac? Just in case anything ever happened to the pedal and they need to be downloaded. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshy Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Used the Helix last night at fake Festival, what a bit of kit live!!!! Sounded epic through my rig and the mahoosive PA. Lots of comments about the sound. Love it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnRDave Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Was just coming on here to see if anyone had any links to pre made patches for the stomp.

I tend to use the amp models themselves for overdrive/distortion. Need to investigate the dedicated distortion FX blocks further! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnRDave Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yeah I'm running the helix through an ampeg PF500 and trying to get the sound right. Its hard going from playing with effects at home through headphones to getting to rehearsal through my amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a couple of years old now and I noticed TC electronic do a pretty affordable powered 2x10 bass cab. Wondered if that would make a nice companion to the helix?

I’ve just been on the TC Electronic website and can’t see any powered cabs? As far as I can see, they do a few 2x10 bass combos but nothing that would be considered FRFR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as drive goes I prefer driven valve sounds, so I like the Flip Top & Bassman models, clean and slightly driven. And the KWB pedal works well for me too.

ratman Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) B15-DRV_KWB_EQ + flanger.hlx BMN-DRV_KWB_EQ + flanger.hlx These patches both use the following switches: FS1 - for the amp drive FS2 - KWB drive FS3 - Mid EQ & High EQ boost These amp models don't have cabs, add them in if you need them. You will need to dial all these blocks in to your own tastes. There is a parallel flanger in the preset too, if you use an external switch like I do, you can activate it there.

ratman Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Try this one too. It's a basic Flip Top, Octave & Filter preset. The EQ block isn't doing set up to do anything here, although I use an external switch to do stuff with it in my Stomp. Foot switches do the following: FS1 - Octave On/Off FS2 - Filter On/Off FS3 - Octave Tone (mid-focused octave/deeper OC2 type ) *Also, the filter and octave are in parallel.

RnRDave Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 So I have my stomp now and finally getting to grips with it. Even planning to ditch the rest of my pedals in favour of it once ive given it some more tweaking here and there. Has anyone used the Headrush 112 with the Stomp? Any other places to download some decent presets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) I think someone predicted a few weeks ago that this would start dropping in price, and lo and behold - GAK, PMT and DV247 listing it at £389 now!

Woodinblack Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 That isn’t surprising. When something comes out and there is a rush to get it it is going to stay full price. When the market has settled it is going to reduce to a lower price (ignoring any inflation elements). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Well, it's certainly nudging me further towards buying, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
