So I got me a Helix LT

Axe_meisterAxe_meister Frets: 4648
Any tips/tricks?
So I build my dream rig setup snapshots and use my expression pedal to go from clean to dirty and bringing in delay.
I've got going through a Mess 50/50 into 2 Marshall 2x12.
I set the amps up without cabs (will experiment with pre-amps)
Oddly enough when going through my Full range monitors with speaker aims engages the sound lacks something compares to guitar speakers.

  • It’s not odd because you’re not comparing Luke for like.

    The tone through the full range monitors with the cab sims on is the tone as heard by a microphone, then your ears. The tone through your guitar cab doesn’t have that mic layer.

    I do believe the valve power amp makes a difference too.

    This. amp sims represent a miced up guitar sound, not an amp in the room sound. For anyone who does a lot of recording or playing through monitors on stage etc, vs relying on hearing the amp - I think the sounds are so close it doesn't matter anymore. But they are different to an amp in a room listened to by ears.

    It does work wonderfully for capturing recorded amp sounds in a daw. 
    On stage would take some adjustment due to the reasons stated above
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
