Dude! I’m only at 17:00 right now. I just have to jump in and say that Duel Pitch is bad ass! Right when you strummed the chords I thought I was back as a Van Halen concert! I had no clue this board it that bad ass! I’ve had my helix for about 6 months now and been doing shows with it on simple setting but, now after watching this in going to delve deeper and see what I can come up with!
Thank you so much!! And if you dig Van Halen, you may just LOVE my EVH Presets!! Check them out here: shop.line6.com/marketplace/?addon_vendor=137&_ga=2.102913088.1115941410.1578670249-1904409394.1567864498
Helix is so amazing. I sold mine & got the HX Stomp, which works EXACTLY the same. Line 6 is really amazing. I decided I can get away with the Stomp, a Morningstar MC6, a Seymour Duncan PS170 & basically tour the world & be just fine. Tiny board that I can carry on a plane with no issues. Technology is incredible nowadays. This is a great video to show someone just how easy the Helix can be.
Beyond Spooky. Yesterday I was looking, I repeat 👀 at the Line 6 Helix to see if I wanted one. And 24 hours later your video pops up to view. Your video alone has convinced me to make the purchase. Thank You so much for such an easy, user friendly intro into getting started with this.
That is AWESOME to hear! I can't wait for you to get it. Congrats on your purchase and thank you for the very kind words. Many more LIVE Helix tutorials coming soon as well.
An extremely well-organized and helpful video. Why in the world Line-6 didn't offer such an introductory video (or series of videos) themselves (?), I do not know, but this introductory walk-through is enough to keep some new owner/users from getting frustrated and bagging the unit altogether, and quite frankly, I'm one of 'em! Haaaa! So kudos, and many thanx! ;-)
Wow and Wow. I fell into this TH-cam Channel by accident and by all accounts, you have been my greatest help in showing just how simple and complex programing the Helix can be and so Versital. I will be reviewing all of your productions for the Helix and will be ordering the Presets below as soon as I get mine. Saving up for it now. Thanks for your insight and you have a great ability to teach and PLAY. Fantastic. Thanks Again!! Larry
Thank you so much for the very kind words. I am thrilled to see that the content was of value to you. I promise to work even harder in 2020 to earn these kind words. Please keep us posted when you receive your Helix. Happy New Year!
I work nights and this evening I saw my Helix was on my porch from zZounds delivered by FedEx. Whoo hoo! All I had time to do was get it out of the box and I brought all the cheat sheets and documents and have been studying them on my breaks and lunch. I just checked and it’s firmware 3.1 I believe. Yours is the first video I have come to and I am glad it is so good! Soon as I get home I am logging in and checking. Liked and subbed
This was a truly helpful introductory video -- the best I found for a first-time user. The Line 6 Updater didn't work for me. But the HX Editor has the update functionality and did work. Building a first patch that used some of the best sounding effects was just great and really fun. This takes away a lot of the "what did I get myself into" effect" from first attempts to use the Helix and opens the door to learning how to use the Helix incrementally. There is so much. Thanks!
Music Gear Network yes I just purchased a Helix a few months ago and have felt a bit overwhelmed, even after playing got 30 years or so. (I’m 46). This was a great primer on getting a Van Halen time that I love! Thanks again!
New helix user thank you so much for this video ive used multi effects for years but felt like i jumped off a cruise ship deep in the ocean with no life support when i 1st started with it , somyou may be my new best friend lol thank you so much for the help , ill make sure to support your channel
Thank you for this video. I got it home and you got me started with my Helix; it sounds like my pedal board, and it fits in a Gator case (with wheels!).
I'm glad you watched it too! The USB sticks are cool looking as well, and saves the unnecessary printed manuals. Less waste of paper. Thanks for checking out the video!
awesome video and patch Eric. Great job. Hoping I can be able to get my Helix LT one day and join the Helix comminity....once I get back to work :) Keep up the good work
This is amazing. I've been looking for a simple demo of making a patch (great patch btw) using only the board (no software). Kudos man :) I appreciate the simplicity.
Thanks, I just exchanged my way up from a PodGo-GT1000...the complete product line and all price brackets..to finally land on the LT. I THINK I FOUND THE ONE!
Straightforward and simple, but still very informative! Not sure why but it seems like a lot of new demo videos have a snotty presumption that the viewer should have previous expertise (mainly with recording/production things. Sorry I don’t have a clue what the acronyms no one bothers to decode mean!). Anyway, you have a new subscriber.
I really appreciate your kind words. And this was my goal, to help people with little to no experience with recording/sound gear etc. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and thrilled to have you as a new subscriber. Thanks again!
Fantastic video. That very first preset you built blew me away. I’m a huge VH fan. Still deciding the Helix or the Axe-Fx III. Your “how to” guide is awesome!
Really glad you enjoy this stuff, and I think if anything it shows that it is very easy to create great sounding presets in mere seconds/minutes. Trust me with Helix, you can drop blocks on a path without a guitar in your hands. Pick up your guitar and adjust the tiniest of settings and be in love with your tone. Thank you so much once again.
Great video! Fast and clear! I always played in my studio with a Boss GT-6 and two Lexicon MPX-1's, not only for guitar but also for organ. This video convinced me to buy a Helix!
Thank you Eric for the amazing insights into the Helix! Being an old school technophobe, I panic at certain digital technologies! Panic over, Helix Floor purchased! Thank you so much 🤘
Hi Eric, I know this video is old but I wanted to say that I love your helix and variax videos. I have gotten a shuriken and a helix rack in the past few years and really love them. and your videos really make me want the variax so thanks.
Hiya Eric, great patch! I'm not new to Line 6 (played a Spider for years) but I am new to Helix and this is perfect for explaining the creation of a patch quickly and easily. Thank you very much. Also a big Ed fan so that helps too.
Thank you! I am very intrigued by the Helix. I have not purchased it yet. Still using a lot of Boss pedals with my old school pedal board. This is a pedal board I am definitely planning on getting. Thanks for your great teaching video.
Thank you Eric for your great tutorial, very well done. You remind me of the painter Bob Ross if he was a guitar teacher. Thanks again. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much and feel free to hit me up with questions. Congrats on your purchase and PS, I have all my premium presets at 20% off on my website. line6helixpresets.com/
Thank you! I just got my helix yesterday. I have music practice today so won’t be able to do much with it today and tonight. Friday afternoon I’ll update the firmware. Then figure out how to make a new preset.
You earned yourself a new subscriber!!! Simple straight to the point. This unit can seem very intimidating I was ready to box my up and send it back. Will you be building more presets mor?
Thank you! Happy to have you here. Yes indeed I just released a new Helix preset that I really love. It's called Helix Trifecta and can be purchased here: shop.line6.com/marketplace/helix-trifecta-helix-rock-preset-bonus-acoustic.html
Thanks a lot for the video, Eric. I just found your channel-- on the very same day I ordered a Helix LT!! I should have it Saturday. And if there are more incredibly helpful videos like this, I'm sure we're going to be spending a lot of time together! I play/sing in a cover band on the weekends, and I'm really hoping this thing will be able to replace my 80+ lbs Egnater for the vast majority of gigs. We'll see. I hope Line 6 doesn't let me down!
What most of us look for is how to reproduce those tones that are heard in Helix's videos. Through the different brands of frfr speakers, real speakers, PA, amplifiers that work very well with stomboxes, such as the Fender Princeton. but as much as I try I mean adjustments in the equalizations, compressors, changes in the signal chain. etc. We never found, mainly with distortions and amplifier emulators.
tech tips :) glad your internets is good. when I got my 1st podxt live I had to go to a friends house to update and register my purchases. I've upgraded from the dial up since then thank God. now I just gotta keep my drivers up to date for the 500hd as windows loses them like every windows updates :(
Thank you for this very detailed video. You just earned your subscription like you said! I'm considering buying this pedal and your video is guiding me closer to making that decision!
I'm glad I came across this video. I haven't watched it yet. I will be SOON! I have my Helix sitting here ready to be fondled. Also, mine came with an Allen Key/Hex Wrench.
Outstanding job the whole thing just totally made sense thank you very much. The only thing is is how do you go back-and-forth from presets to our preset
Hey man, I just ordered my first Helix in space grey! Will take a while because of all this COVID 19 thing! but I wanted to thank you for the info! Very helpful! Keep up the good work! Oh and I will be buying your Pasadena patches! They sound great!!!
Wicked awesome! Congrats on your purchase, you will be thrilled with this technology I'm sure. Thank you as well regarding purchasing my presets, but most importantly, I wish you and your family to be safe.
@@musicgearnetwork Ive been a Line 6 user since the Pod 2.0, matter of fact, I still have it in my studio. LOL! But yes, I agree, after a long research I came to the conclusion to get the Helix being a corporate musician I have to have every tone possible in one unit. from 70s funk and Disco to Rock to todays music and with those IRs, Oh man! Cant wait!! Thanks lot and please be safe!!!
Hey Eric, would love to see you do a video from start to finish of how you do a system update when ver 3.20 arrives! Including saving/adding your presets etc and then. Most of the vids I've watched weren't very thorough explaining that. They skip over many important parts.
Very cool video Eric. You made it look easy and fun to use 👍 This video helps take the fear out of connecting everything which is big part of it. Thank you sir!!
I wish I had this in 2017 when I first started! Still, it helped me, as I pretty much ONLY use the computer to set up stuff... so I learned how to do it without the computer!
I was kicking around the idea of getting a Helix - vs - a Kemper Stage. I had owned the Kemper "toaster" before, so I was leaning that way. I viewed this video and the fact that I own a James Tyler Variax, I decided to spring for the Helix. Glad I did - there are some great tones in there and it can do a lot with regard to stage and DAW - and I am sure that the sound guy will like it too! Thanks for making a highly understandable video!
Great tutorial, thanks! An update point though: If you like me have just bought the Helix (Feb 23, 2021), you need to install HX Edit to get the necessary drivers to connect it to Windows 10. When I just installed the updater and connected Helix it was not recognized by my PC.
Really enjoyed the video. The reason I looked in was I have had the helix for bout a year and just got round to using it. I have it connected via focusrite to generic speakers on my studio desk. I want to get a basic set up from my Stratocaster the uses Vox AC 30 to create a Beatles Liverpool sound and also from my Les paul to create an AC/DC sound. The video was great to show how to create a sound but the technical stuff discussed was over my head as I don’t understand the impact of each item added to the chain (jus a beginner with wet dry etal) The video I need (you may have it?) will discuss what each block does, will show how to create or modify ones that are there (I see a Vox configuration) and the how to get my page of buttons that are all in the same place. Can you copy a sound and move it to a clean page so you can create new and retain the original? Perhaps it’s because I have a piece of equipment that is too advanced for where I’m at that has led me to ask the questions. Any advice and sign posting to more videos would be appreciated....
Many thanks for your helpful reply. I rest my case,what is USB thumb drive. Line6 are missing the 10% of guitarist who spend 90% of the money on gear.We have large guitar and amp collections.We gig regularly and would love to reduce the weight and size of our gear. Don’t forget,the first company to build a simple Helix will sell out within hours in our country. Thanks again for your prompt reply.We love good service.👍🎸🎸
A USB thumb drive is a small portable storage device that you can use to back files etc up. In this case the manual comes on it. There are many thorough video tutorials here on TH-cam on how to use Helix as well. Not just on my channel, on many channels. I'm happy to assist where/when possible as well. Trust me, I was never a digital person. Probably the most unlikely to ever go digital. But I learned rather quickly.
This is a great video Eric. I don't own the hardware but this tempts me a step closer. Other brands should be take note and be cognizant how much their ambassadors contribute to the success of a product as you do for this.
"Now we're gonna press save, and call it Eddie Van...oops I mean Eric. Lol.
Gave you the thumbs up just for "it's got that new Helix smell"
Love it!
Exactly the tutorial I needed to convince me to get the Helix. Cheers
Thank you so much for the feedback, I am thrilled that this was of help to you.

I’m glad you pointed out how easy it is to put in a noise gate! I’ll remember that, next time I’m using real single coil pups 😁🤘
Cheers!
No probs! Glad it was of value to you! Cheers!
Fantastic demo! Probably one of the best i've seen out of all the helix demos on here. Well done!
Huge thanks I greatly appreciate this!

Thank you as well, I truly appreciate that!
My Helix should be here Monday. I bought it because of this channel, thank you for the tutorial, I can't wait to learn more!

Ordered my helix this morning.. more than excited to get it and not so worried that I won’t understand it after watching this vid! Thanks man!
I am just seeing this video! all these months later. This is exactly what I wanted sound wise!! Thank you man. I've subscribed.
Really glad this helped, and thank you so much for the kind words and subbing. Do you have a Helix currently?

Thanks very much!
Thank you for this video. I got it home and you got me started with my Helix; it sounds like my pedal board, and it fits in a Gator case (with wheels!).
I am so glad I watched this as I nearly threw away the USB stick and the cable as they were in the bottom of the packages. Thank you!! :-)

awesome video and patch Eric. Great job. Hoping I can be able to get my Helix LT one day and join the Helix comminity....once I get back to work :) Keep up the good work
Wow! I’m impressed....It took me a while to find a video on LINE 6 HELIX like this one!!!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for checking it out. I hope it was of help to you. Many more tips coming for Helix.
Absolutely outstanding demo showing everything I needed to know about how to get started with the Helix! Thank you.
I've just had a Helix arrive today, now the lessons and fun begin. You're video is a great help to start setting new sounds.
Congratulations! Welcome to a world of fun & killer tone. Keep us posted on your results!
Thank you, Derek Smalls 🙌
I know I'm late to the game but, this is really really good. Helped me wrap my brain around a few things in just 5 minutes. Incredible - Thanks!
You are very welcome, I am happy to hear that our video was of help to you! Hang around for some more tips here on the channel as well!
I finally have a Helix Floor on the way to me! I’m so jazzed! Thanks for the info Eric!
I could not be happier for you! Welcome to the family. Any trouble or tips needed, hit me up. More of these tutorial videos coming!
Just got my Helix and came here to sub:) Thanks for all you do🙌.

You are very welcome!
Just got one and I've been recording with it like crazy. It's a great tool especially for home use. I can easily see being able to gig with it.
Congrats on your purchase. I hope you are still having fun with it!
I was considering a Kemper or Axe until I saw you dial in that tone @ 14:50. Dam! What a great vid!
Larry Mar thank you kindly. I’m very grateful and glad you enjoyed this video.
@@musicgearnetwork I'm still leaning towards a Kemper though. ;)
Thanks, I just exchanged my way up from a PodGo-GT1000...the complete product line and all price brackets..to finally land on the LT. I THINK I FOUND THE ONE!
Just of the Helix today. Thank you for the quick and informative instructions... keep em coming!
You are very welcome and I am happy that this was of help to you!
Watched the video. Got a Helix. Bout to create a patch. Thanks for the great content!
This is my new favorite TH-cam video.

Great sounding voice. Masculine and really nice at the same time. I can't help but like you dude. Rock on! Be kind to yourself.
Thank you kindly! Appreciated!
I agree. Fast talker but, was able to understand everything. Very knowledgeable and to the point!
@@pokerfacemonks Thank you kindly, it is frustrating (my speech) but it's something that I just can't change. Trust me, I try lol!
Just created this preset on my new HX Stomp ,Eric its an awesome tone cheers from Scotland.
holy crap, when you did the van halen low-high with the +7 -7 i got goosebumps. Holy **** what a tone, can't wait to get mine next weekend...
Fantastic, glad you enjoyed it. And enjoy your new Helix as well!

Extremely well done. You must be an exceptional teacher.
Thank you very kindly!
Thank you, man, its very simple and useful for many of us, I think.
Very informative. Love my Helix. Please keep up the great work!!!
Thank you so much, appreciated! Enjoy that Helix!

Heck yes, happy that you found it!! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you so much for doing this video, excellent easy to follow with no fluff or opinions, very appreciated!

Hi Eric, I know this video is old but I wanted to say that I love your helix and variax videos. I have gotten a shuriken and a helix rack in the past few years and really love them. and your videos really make me want the variax so thanks.
I can't thank you enough for the kind words. I'm really glad you enjoyed this and other videos. Keep on rockin and have fun!
New Helix user. Lots to learn. Good Video.
Thank you kindly and enjoy your new Helix!
Hiya Eric, great patch! I'm not new to Line 6 (played a Spider for years) but I am new to Helix and this is perfect for explaining the creation of a patch quickly and easily. Thank you very much. Also a big Ed fan so that helps too.
Very glad this was of help to you! Thank you for watching and the nice feedback!
Great video for new Helix owners to view. Loving that preset you created. Bravo and THANKS \m/
You rock buddy! Thank you!
Thank you! I am very intrigued by the Helix. I have not purchased it yet. Still using a lot of Boss pedals with my old school pedal board. This is a pedal board I am definitely planning on getting.
Thanks for your great teaching video.

Wicked!! I hope you have a blast with it. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. I have never loved guitar as much as I do now!

It was worth watching, if for no other reason, then to learn about that input noise gate. Thank you.

Thank you for a great video .... a wonderful communicator ... YES, I subscribed ... looking forward to your videos ... thank you again ...
I appreciate that greatly, Thank you huge for subbing as well. I promise more Helix related content soon too! Lots of it.
@@musicgearnetwork you got it!!
@@musicgearnetwork Great!!
This is very helpful. Thank you very much. I was curious why you don’t have the amp at the very end of the chain?
Very cool video Eric. You made it look easy and fun to use 👍 This video helps take the fear out of connecting everything which is big part of it. Thank you sir!!
You rock buddy, thank you for taking the time to check it out!
I wish I had this in 2017 when I first started! Still, it helped me, as I pretty much ONLY use the computer to set up stuff... so I learned how to do it without the computer!
Eric, I think you sold me for this Helix vs GT1000. Thank you for very thorough and relevant explanation!
Really glad this was of help to you!
What a totally fantastic video tutorial!!!
Huge thank you, I really appreciate the kind words!
Thanks man.. i was able to update my Helix LT accordingly :)
very welcome and that is great to hear!
I was kicking around the idea of getting a Helix - vs - a Kemper Stage. I had owned the Kemper "toaster" before, so I was leaning that way. I viewed this video and the fact that I own a James Tyler Variax, I decided to spring for the Helix. Glad I did - there are some great tones in there and it can do a lot with regard to stage and DAW - and I am sure that the sound guy will like it too! Thanks for making a highly understandable video!
Great tutorial, thanks! An update point though: If you like me have just bought the Helix (Feb 23, 2021), you need to install HX Edit to get the necessary drivers to connect it to Windows 10. When I just installed the updater and connected Helix it was not recognized by my PC.
Never seen a Guy 'Paint' a preset before, even sounds a little bit like Bob Ross in places. Great sound, great video, thanks
Great video! would love to see a video about setting and using snapshots how to use IRs
Thank you and I will do that, just for you! Thank you for the suggestion!
Really enjoyed the video. The reason I looked in was I have had the helix for bout a year and just got round to using it. I have it connected via focusrite to generic speakers on my studio desk. I want to get a basic set up from my Stratocaster the uses Vox AC 30 to create a Beatles Liverpool sound and also from my Les paul to create an AC/DC sound. The video was great to show how to create a sound but the technical stuff discussed was over my head as I don’t understand the impact of each item added to the chain (jus a beginner with wet dry etal)
The video I need (you may have it?) will discuss what each block does, will show how to create or modify ones that are there (I see a Vox configuration) and the how to get my page of buttons that are all in the same place. Can you copy a sound and move it to a clean page so you can create new and retain the original?
Perhaps it’s because I have a piece of equipment that is too advanced for where I’m at that has led me to ask the questions. Any advice and sign posting to more videos would be appreciated....
Very informative video! Thank you!
.... This guy is the Bob Ross of gear videos....
Many thanks for your helpful reply. I rest my case,what is USB thumb drive.
Line6 are missing the 10% of guitarist who spend 90% of the money on gear.We have large guitar and amp collections.We gig regularly and would love to reduce the weight and size of our gear.
Don’t forget,the first company to build a simple Helix will sell out within hours in our country.
Thanks again for your prompt reply.We love good service.👍🎸🎸
A USB thumb drive is a small portable storage device that you can use to back files etc up. In this case the manual comes on it. There are many thorough video tutorials here on TH-cam on how to use Helix as well. Not just on my channel, on many channels. I'm happy to assist where/when possible as well. Trust me, I was never a digital person. Probably the most unlikely to ever go digital. But I learned rather quickly.
Glad I found this great channel!! Thanks for the great lesson!
Very good instructions. Do u have a video how to connect to a pa from amplifier or both thank u
This is a great video Eric. I don't own the hardware but this tempts me a step closer. Other brands should be take note and be cognizant how much their ambassadors contribute to the success of a product as you do for this.
I greatly appreciate your very kind words & support! Thank you!
Thanks man you're such a life saver
My absolute pleasure. Enjoy your Helix!
