The Jazz Rivet 120 has been a favorite for Cleans. Matchstick Ch1, Grammatico GSG,, Elmsley, Brit 2203,, Placater, Archetype, Ventoux, ete., are some of my go to Models. There are so many Amp Models. I'm always trying to get something that captures the authentic sound of the Amp and what I think sounds best for that Model.
Awesome stuff Jason as always. I think people are sleeping on the Line 6 Litigator though! For my "dirty" I've got that with an AC30 IR and it can do everything. Put some chorus on and go to a middle pickup and play lighter and you've got clean, add a distortion pedal in the chain and boost the gain and you've got super dirt, etc etc. What I absolutely LOVE about the HX/Helix universe is the opportunity to mix and match various things in order to maybe achieve a sound that you never even thought was possible with a specific amp.
@@JasonSadites John Cordy's favorite for sure, but he has embraced that Dripman, but he uses V30 speakers or the EV speakers, he also almost always favors the Condenser Mics.
Great video and thanks for taking the time to make it Jason. Plus, lovely playing Jason. You've definitely got the chops... And for the record, it was hearing Alex Lifeson and 2112 when at high school that made me start playing the guitar aged about 12.. 🙂
Damn, I like ribbon mics, but with a pair of other brighter ones. 57 for example. But hearing JUST ribbon made me want to throw EQ after that to brighten it up, so it can cut in a mix. Because that dark type of tone is suitable in jazz, not it high gain stuff, IMO.
As I mentioned in this video, I was not dialing any tones in in this video just quickly showcasing my favorite amps. There are ways I deal with these things when creating an actual tone I would use in a mix. Hope that helps :-)
Hi, thank you so much for letting me know about this. I am going to get in touch with Line 6 and see if they are having any issues. I just checked and I am finding Germany in the list on checkout when I try on my computer but am going to follow up with them to be sure there isn't an issue they aren't aware of. Thank you again so much for letting me know :-) Will keep you posted!
Just new to the stomp world, my fave amp models atm would be the Marshall JTM45 & the Placater Dirty model. Also have a soft spot for the Princess
Cranking up the amp level and turning down the speaker level really gives some warmth also. Might want a boost at the end of the chain.
that was awesome man thanks for sharing! can you do a video to get modern metal sounds from helix?
+100 for that suggestion. Something that will do Stuff like I Built the Sky, Intervals, Wide Eyes, Wydek, Divine, Voices from the Fuselage, etc etc...
Great choice of amps. But I think we really want to hear you rip through Rush tunes on the beauty of a Lerxst amp back there.
Thanks and yeah that amp is killer :-)
I find myself using the Ribbons more for my needs over the SM57 :) Thx., George
That's awesome! I am a real sucker for ribbon mics :-)

Here's a challenge for you. Develop a Helix profile that is super deep and clean on the bottom end but has some smooth gain on the top end for leads.

I could not agree more :-) The Litigator is a killer amp model!!

Hi Jason. Is that a superstrat? I'm wondering what that no2 Amp will sound with a darker guitar like a les Paul or a sg.
I am playing a Gibson SG throughout this video to demo the amps.

@@JasonSadites Yeah, no offense, just my opinion. And I agree with every amp you choose. They are amazing :)
So many great amp models in the Helix, but I keep going back to the Mandarin Rocker. Just love the way it plays.
#1 - Brit Tremolo Bright, with Blackbacks !!!
Is the Aristocrat a quasi Fender style amp?
I think they were going after a Dumble style thing which has some roots in Fender style amps, so I guess you could say that :-)
Great video... and really a great song, proggy as I like! ❤
Thanks so much :-) Really great to hear that you liked the tune! I appreciate the kind words!
Thank you very much for this great video, Jason!
My pleasure and glad you enjoyed :-)
Wow Jason killer playing on that outro song. I still need to buy all your CDs/FLAC song files.... Keep it up. Love all you do.
Thanks so much :-)
Hi Jason, do you know why i can't buy your presets from the Line 6 Shop? In the billing adress I can`t choose the country "Germany " 🤔.... mmm
