Line 6 Helix || The Basics and How to Start?
Музыка
For my Presets visit: johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ I've wanted to do this for a little while, and in a livestream last night someone mentioned that they are getting their Helix today; so this video is exploring the things that I might try in my first day, or the things that I think are important to know. Undoubtedly, I will have missed some things, and personally I feel like also spending some time with the manual is a good idea? Anyway here is some basic stuff and a little introduction to some of the powerful things the Helix can do!

only if you wanted, you could buy me a coffee!
I've decided to make it possible to grab both my Helix/HX Stomp bundles (the expression bundle with freeze presets has always been separate) together for £5 - www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr... - I will then email you a link to both bundles!
You can get my EXPRESSION patches in this bundle using this link - I will then send out the patches! www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
Try my patches (60-70+) for Helix or HX Stomp in this bundle for £3 using this link - I will then send out the patches! www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...
Try my patches for Pod GO for £3 using this link - I will then send out the patches! www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...

Here's the very chap who I had in mind when making this!
I bought a Helix in January. I'm old school both in age and gear, so I've been suffering from some technophobia issues! This video is much appreciated John. Feel free to make it a series :)
Nice refresher, thanks John!
Thanks for the shout John! Just saw it in my notifications
I just got my helix Monday, I still have 2 DT 50s trying to figure out how to use the helix with the DT 50. Thanks for this video.
Best explanation ever! Thanks!
Great video. I just got my Helix the other day and this is super helpful.
Thanks for the shout brother! 🙌

Thanks for the videos Steve!!
I justed purchased the helix. This was very helpful you are great
If you are playing Helix through the loop of an actual amp/cab OR are using a power amp/cabinet. Don't choose cabs or impulse responses. Just set things up like a standard pedalboard. Choose the Amp and pedals and leave it at that. If running direct into a DAW or PA, then absolutely use Cab/mike/impulse response to taste.
Thanks for this really helpful.
Thank you
I have the hx stomp and want to upgrade to something bigger because of the dsp limitations. Do you think I should wait a while to see if line 6 announces a new modeler since helix has been out for a while? I am also considering the quad cortex
Yeah! 💪🔝
can you address tone suck and hx fx / stomp when using real amps and external pedals??
John, have you or any of the other Helix guys done a deep dive of the pitch/synth blocks?
Connect to HX Edit right from the start. That way, all the updates are automatic.
is this the same as POD GO? thx
What am I missing ? Surely if you have a pedalboard it goes into the front of the amp, so why is the amp and cab model not at the end of the signal change ?

Studio reverb and delay?

So worth noting that any stereo effects you put before an amp/cab will come out mono....

In the real world, usually the wah and drive pedals go into the front and the modulation type effects go into the effects loop. But, the great thing about the Helix is that you are not restricted to the limitations of the real world.
