When I was touring with The Miracles I used an ampless pedalboard but of my own creation. I put all my wet effects after my Ampeg SCR DI and used a stereo set up so I can keep those effects out of the main signal chain as that is the best way to get an effects loop affect on an ampless rig and preserve your clean sound. The Helix is nice but a bit limited for what I need to reproduce compared to having separate pedals with a separate buffer, booster and a second preamp to run after the wet effects to balance the line into the house board.
I play bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin in the worship band at church. I just bought a helix floor after this. I'm getting old and carying an amp and pedal board around is getting difficult. having in all in one solution that also sounds great
im not a bass player or a guitarist but I dabble and have a helix I was looking to see if i should get a bass cab or just use my PA. After watching your video ill just use my pa and not bother upgrading to a different head. Like the music or not shes a platinum selling artist and that dude just runs a helix blows my mind. I assume he has lots of custom sound files but still. Dont need to blow the bank on gear anymore. Awesome video btw and I like those Genelecs in your studio!
I personally bought a PA for my bass because of this. When I use the Helix with a bass amp it just doesn't sound right even when bypassing the amp simulation.
@@ExtremeBassGuitar. in the link in the description it doesn't say which rig it uses, it just says which amplifiers it uses ... making such a video without posting a patch is useless ... I know it changes 4 basses and patches for each song, but I don't understand the sense. Maybe he could have shown specifically how the tone of a song did. Or maybe it's a secret.
dude i need this kind of information, im a bass player and im a helix stomp user. could you make a tutorial hot to split frequency in split mode helix? thx
This guy is super professional and explains the intricacies very well.
Thank you for your comment. Yes Matt is the great professional in the business!
I don't care the type of videos you upload you're awesome , the Mario's ghost houses was incredible!! Keep going bro , you will famous
Thanks Rudy, I really appreciate that bro! Currently I'm working on a Mario dungeon montage which will include the ghost house 👻
You'll get my view !!!
this video is pretty awesome, a profesional touring bass player using just the helix for the job.
Seriously, I find it impressive!!
Man, I needed this video! Thank you for doing this.
You're welcome Thanks for viewing!

Spencer Sotelo of Periphery Casually walking at 3:00
I'll have to admit, I have no idea who that is!
@@ExtremeBassGuitar lead singer of the band Periphery
That has to be Chris Buck, behind you guys on guitar. His playing is so recognizable.
Cool
Thanks for the confirmation 💪

I don’t know man, I’ll never trade my amps for this digital crap

@texasviking1 I respect that!
What a cool dude!
nice video, but it would have been interesting to see the rig he uses in helix
GABRIELE FRIULI Check out the link in the description of the Reddit post where Matt breaks down his set up.

I would encourage you to ask him in that sub Reddit!
he'll walk back to that Ampeg and pull himself after the interview, lol
Lol what do you mean?

What is split mode?
@@ExtremeBassGuitar i mean split crossover ^^
How would you use it, like in what sort of application?
Like cut out all highs?
@@ExtremeBassGuitar i want to separate between low and high freqs. Is it possible?
Oh yes.
