Just noting, my signal chain will not be 100% like yours (guitars, IRs, preferred settings, etc.) I think the mids would be the most affected by these differences, so definitely give or take a db or so in that area to taste!
You can also use IR with tube poweramp eq curve on it, it does the same thing with frequencies, i would suggest Ownhammer IR-s made with tube poweramp, it cuts that 800-ish area and boosts presence and low mid grind
Stomp version was better from the outset. Zero flub in the low end. I didnt find the mids and highs to be much different at all. But both before and after the EQ changes i preferred the Helix model....
Really interesting video! Curious to see how this would compare between other amp models like the Matchless for edge of breakup and clean kind of tones!
They're one of my biggest influences and were SO good when I saw em live. I actually learned that riff for videos around this time so it's a bit sloppy tho lol
I personally like the HX Stomp the best. So much clarity. The EQ change was great. Made it fuller, but still kept the clarity. Makes me want to buy an HX Stomp. I have a Helix, but I've heard that for some reason the Stomp sounds better which sounds counter intuitive with less processing power. Do you find this to be true or should I just try to dig in more and dial in my Helix better?
I'll rewatch it tomorrow when power is out, will have some time to kill so youtube on the phone and my commuter head set, maybe not the absolute best audio quality headset, but it does give better conditions for comparing stuff.
Not currently, but I do want to revisit the GT-1000 at some point in a more comprehensive video down the line. Maybe I'll include a bit of this in that!
I'm definetely gonna try that next time I record guitars with my HX Stomp. But can you apply this EQ to any of the amplifier models on the Stomp? Also will it work if I use the stock IRs? Sweet FGN and greetings from Lotasticland 🎸🤘
thank you.yes stop with the whats better crap just buy the one who has your favorite sound amp an be done stop tweaking and playing with modelers thats not what it for.example my fav real amp is a twin or blacstar ht 60 which has a great clean sound antway the amp alone cost 1000-1600 then effects will bring it over 2000 for one amp.if i didnt have modelers already i might get tone master for its fender and 5150 amps.

Great video. Thanks man. I've been really happy with the Helix.
Love the Unlucky Morpheus riffs man! you rock!
Thanks! one of my favorites.

Nice hat Goose! Per usual loved the vid!
Appreciate this 🙏
Awesome video! I love the comparisons you make between the different modelers. Can you also attempt to match the Quad Cortex with the FM9/Axe Fx3?
Thanks! I could look into it!
excella demo thanks man!

Honestly I haven't dived into clean tones really, I typically just run a simple low gain marshall amp model haha. I should definitely look into them!
@@TheGooseChaseMusic I'd love to see a video on that, to see if the EQ move would kinda still apply! You got a new sub!
Gorgeous 7 string my man!!
It's become my favorite as of late.
That atb collapse riff maaan ❤

Great comparison! Which specific IR are you using for this test?
York Audio Bogner 412, iirc
@@TheGooseChaseMusic Thanks!
@@TheGooseChaseMusic Funny how TH-cam sees this reply as a different language and added a translate option. lol
Nice vid man! I guess you could potentially do this with other units, like making the hx stomp sound the fm9 ect...?
I could look into it! Though the FM9 and QC sound even closer than the Helix does to the QC. Maybe a similar EQ with 1db or less bass.
@@TheGooseChaseMusic Would definitely be an interest series idea haha
I couldn't tell them apart on speakers, should probably used headphones for this comparison.
I had to do SO much double checking between headphones and other monitors.

Why not use the parametric eq so each preset can be adjusted differently.
You can totally do this. I just chose to use the Global because of the visual, and because it doesn't take up a block in the preset.
I will try this, thanks!
Hope it helps!
Bro! This is fire! 🔥 any plans to do a similar video with the boss gt 1000?

It's a Global EQ, so it applies to your output, no matter what amp is in your chain.
Sry if I might have missed it in the other videos, but what IR are you actually using here in the Helix?
York Audio Bogner 412, Mix 3
@@TheGooseChaseMusic thanks man
Could it be applied for a clean tone?
I don't mess around with clean tones enough but I might dive into that in the future.
i like this video, cause mine is Pod Go😅
Tried a Mooer GE300?
I have not, I would like to try one!
Are you high cutting the IR on the HX stomp? or leaving it as is?
Leaving it as is, nothing in the IR block was touched other than loading the IR. The global EQ handles the rest.
@@TheGooseChaseMusic thanks bro
Good news
nice finally doesen't sound so boxy anymore
Glad it helped out!
Tried it and YMMV depending on amp and IRs. In mix more mids have more sense.
Subbed!
i turned away from screen and i couldnt tell.
