Hey Chris! Man, I just wanted to thank you personally for everything you do here. You are a true inspiration and hero to look up to. I wanted you to know that I have been working on holding the pick while playing with the fingers for a while, and until watching your videos, it never dawned on me to try it your way. Now I am seamlessly moving the pick back and forth, while trying to change the tone dynamically using fingers and the pick. Although because my strong fingers to play with are my thumb and first finger, I cup the pick under my middle finger to be able to play with thumb and first. Anyways, keep up the awesome videos, stay safe, and never stop playing bro!
Just wanted to say that for those. like me, who only have a Helix LT and therefore can't run all 10 stompboxes (we only have 8 in the LT) you can still make this amazing setup work really well - or any setup that relies heavily on gain staging drive pedals and multiple delays or modulations. I first remove the compressor from a pedal slot and put it at the end of the chain - my preferred position from compression in the Helix. Then I removed the modulation (Tremolo in this case but it works for any) from a tap pedal slot and assigned it to volume pedal slot 2 (volume being in slot 1). You can then bring the tremolo or any modulation into the mix by controlling the Mix parameter with the pedal. For Chris' setup here I have the 5 drive/fuzz pedals and 3 delays on the footswitches and it works great. I'm not sure I need 5 overdrives personally - I think with Fuzz, Teemah, Tone Sovereign, and Minotaur I could get all the gain I need and more so could have the trem as a footswitch or even another option like Volume and Wah - decisions, decisions. Anyway - if you're worried you can't make this work on an LT don't - give it a try you'll come up with some amazing tones, even if your fingers don't make it sound as good as Chris' do.
Sounds very very good, it’s amazing how far digital has come, I remember when you posted this on Instagram and I was listening and then realized you were using a Helix and I have your single of slow train and I was just blown away, I couldn’t heard the difference!
I have the HX stomp but i can use your settings (with the limitation of 6 block) with these steps: Update HX EDIT to the last version (2.82 ) Update HX stomp firmware to the 2.82 Download Helix Native 1.82 Open Helix native with your DAW and import Chris hlx file preset (no need of any device connected) Open HX Edit with your HX stomp connected Simply copy and paste blocks from Native to HX edit hope it helps.
@@JoelWilliamHarrison Need to download latest Native version ( Don't search for it by product, otherwise it only shows version 1, which doesnt work ). I copied and pasted all the blocks into a couple of stomp presets so I can sort out what I can do without later. So restricted with only 6 blocks. So annoying.
Bought the patch and I was stunned. Bought the helix on release and I think I know a thing or two about guitar sound but i was blown away by this patch. I never sounded zo good. I play a telecaster so works perfect for that kind of guitar too. Well worth the money! Thanks!
Awesome Chris ... Your guitar playing technique is incredible definitely a fan!!........ I also use the Powercab + with the Helix for amps and effects and it's Killer..... With or without -predetermined configurations/snap shots!! your guitar playing is awesome : )
After watching your first Helix video it piqued my interest as to the sheer quality of these contraptions because I've always been an amp bloke and thought I always would be, but....... Now I'm not lucky enough to be able to drop a couple of grand on a full Helix kit, but I discovered this thing called an HX Stomp, which apparently has identical guts, sounds, effects, amp models etc to a full Helix, but with limited features and functionality. When I saw the price point was £400, I decided to go for one. I've only had it a few days and am still finding my way around it, but already it has made a couple of my effects pedals redundant and I decided to sell those on and claw back £100 of my Stomp's outlay, maybe as I become more proficient with it I can sell even more of my pedals and virtually get my money back completely. As I said, I've always been an amp guy and a "purist" but I'm willing to move with the times, so at the moment I own a Laney Lionheart and a Marshall Origin 20 and if I can emulate exactly the tones I get out of those with my Stomp, then I'll sell my amps too, because as I suffer with a disability due too a spinal cord injury which is degenerating with time, lugging my amps around is increasingly difficult and I'm housebound for a lot of my days. I decided to buy the HX Stomp after watching your video because you weren't pushing it or trying to flog it the same way that Andertons or other channels would, and I felt that you gave the Helix an honest appraisal. So thanks mate, you may have made my life a lot easier because for me, playing my music when I can is about the only escape and relief from my condition. 👍
Thanks! Just purchased and I the tones sound amazing, apart from the overall layout being really instructive (for me). I was wondering whether you have had any insights on IRs (even commercial ones) that come close to what you're getting with the Powercab? would love to look into any recommendations you have. Also have you modified anything in the preset since this was published 9 months ago? Thanks again.
Hi Chris! Great admirer of your work. Really divided between move forward with the building of my new pedalboard or just sell the pedals and buy a modeler. Any advices? Thank you for your spetacular sounds!
Hey Chris, I’ve just got a power can myself, am I right in saying that you don’t have to put any cabs in the signal chain, you just pick a cab from the power cab and you’re good to go?
Yep, you’ve got it! 🙂 Running a speaker emulation from the Helix into the Powercab will sound a bit weird, unless you’re using the Powercab on its ‘flat’ mode, where there’s no speaker emulation on.
@@ChrisBuckGuitar Awesome, I thought that might be the case, thanks for the advice! :) It’s a great bit of kit, can’t wait to be back using it in a live context soon 👍🏻
Hi Chris, im trying to use your preset with my power cab 112plus with no success. Can you tell me please how you set the helix to use the powercab? Thanks much, Dan
Hey Dan. If you turn off the cab block within the Helix, then run the Helix’s two outputs (or one’s fine) into the back of the Powercab, that’ll do the trick. My preferred speaker on the Powercab is the Creamback 🙂 Let me know how you get on!
Hi Chris! awesome playing as always. I purchased your preset and all sounds exactly as in this video! Only issue is I am having problems recreating the tone of the solo you start playing at about the 6:28 mark (the Going Home solo). Any suggestions?
Hey. It won't I'm afraid; there's too many blocks. However, I've done a dedicated HX Stomp preset pack that's also available on my site. There's a few presets in the bundle; several that are effects only (as I use in my full live rig with amps etc) and then another preset that's essentially a scaled down version of my Helix preset :)
@@ChrisBuckGuitar Awesome; and thanks for the quick response! I downloaded your preset and I have the PC112+, so I figured I'd ask here since you didn't reference it in the notes you included with the preset. It sounds great, btw!
Dave: How do you use this setup? Do you take the presets from Chris and then turn off helix cab simulation completely and then use the creamback in the powercab? I am rather new to all this and appreciate any hint.
@@sergeibrin2691 Hey man, yeah, when using the PowerCab, if I want to use the PC's speaker sims, then I would turn off any cab block or IR within the Helix itself. I just set up presets to utilize the PC, with the options in the Helix output settings within a preset (not the global output settings). You can still use Helix cabs and IR's with the PC, too, it's just a matter of how you want to run things.
Hi Cris, I bought the preset by order 8PW12815L*****, I read in the description that you created the preset using firmware 2.80 but we already have the upgrade to 2.81 and that's the one I'm using now. I realized that after this update ALL My effects were overloaded with reverb and delay it seems that with the update these effects changed. I think that with this firmware your preset should have the same problem (loaded with reverb delay either). Could you, please, apply this update and send us the new preset? With the new parameters, I imagine that what I exported to my Helix LT, (LT , by the way) is not what you wanted to send us, it is not the sound that you use (too much reverbs from delay). I will wait your considerations. Thanks. best regards from Brazil. John Amorim
fabulous, tone and feel for days, just bought the preset but I bet it doesn't make me sound as good as this - btw, wtf is it though with internet warriors who have to give this a thumbs down, if you don't like it just go find something else
Hiya Chris! Thank you so much for your time and effort in creating these vids, and making patches for the Helix. Just one - quick, question. As a Helix and PowerCab 112+ owner, would you also be in a position/willing to sell those presets please, i.e. not the modified versions for the folk that only have Helix?. Thanks man! :) (PS Seriously loving Buck & Evans!)

Man you’re such a great player. The first thing I saw that got my attention was your Redbone cover, I instantly subscribed. Do you have tutorial stuff available?
I just bought it last night and its great with native. Only issue issue is the volume pedal which you can delete, turn off, or set to all the way open.
Hi Chris awesome tones. I'm having trouble downloading the preset though - could you direct me to someone that could assist. BTW, I'm not a novice at this stuff so I don't think it's anything I'm doing wrong - although I'm happy to concede if that is the case... :-)
@@ChrisBuckGuitar Hi Chris. I've just gone back into it this morning to try and replicate the error I was getting - and lo and behold - it only went and worked... Must've been me all along... Oh and BTW, it sounds phenominal :-) Hope you'll be watching the rugby tomorrow - Cymru am byth..! :-)
It might be time you set up a parallel TH-cam channel...for hair products. My daughter wants me to use an alternative to Head and Shoulders that is animal cruelty free. Any suggestions? You look like a man who'd know.
Believe it or not, a hell of a lot of people did despite the insinuation that it should be free? Kinda restores your faith in humanity, doesn’t it? One Friday Fretworks a week for the last 2 years to no cost to any of my 35,000 subscribers and the only thing I’ve ever offered for a price is a tab for £2.50 - less than a cup of coffee for a day’s work. I’m not complaining for a second; just pointing out that if the 53 people who’ve bought the preset so far are indicative of anything, it’s that there is at least an appreciation on some level that work costs money and eye-rolling emojis at the idea of paying for someone’s effort is in the minority. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@ChrisBuckGuitar my man chill dude, I was one that said I'd take it! Don't worry you definitely deserve to get paid for your work and you should definitely get it up on market place. Join the helix FB group (if you haven't) and I'll plug the shit out of it
hainzy Fair one. Cheers dude and sorry for going in on you! I was just expecting a backlash from a minority who expect that everything I do is free. I had someone email me last week asking if I could send them the Slow Train solo tab and they’d send me the money if they used it 🤦🏻♂️ Anyway, apologies for biting your head off!
@@ChrisBuckGuitar nothing to apologise for, it came across dickish haha I get presets from Scott on the helix channel, Glenn and Jason. I can never be bothered to take the time to dial in sounds so yea it's worth it.
kommi1974 Meh, apples and oranges. Ones a modelling unit, one’s a profiler. Kempers are fantastic but I don’t think there’s any comparison when it comes to the effects...
kommi1974 Depends on you approach really. I’ve been a Kemper user for years (sold it, will purchase one again). The effects in the Kemper is good enough, but that’s it. Found that I got better results connecting a pedalboard to it and use it pretty much as a dry amp. 98% of the profiles available are really bad... but the good ones... I agree, the Helix cannot touch those. THAT said... both the Kemper and Helix... (and AxeFx, Boss, Headrush, 11r, pod) are pretty much no better than the user.
