This is fantastic! I've been struggling since I got my LT a month ago to get these types of tones. I agree with previous comment that this is far better than most for sale presets. Now I just have to learn to play like you. ;)
Great tone! I usually play a much heavier tone with humbuckers but am working on a project with a friend of mine and your video helped me more with my strat tone than all the presets I`ve downloaded and tried. Very applicable with a Plexi for a dirtier tone too! Again, great job and great tutorial on achieving that great strat tone!
Cool, I was setting up a clean patch for my new to me LT just the other day. Picked them same drive pedals but I used the dbl twin nrml. Little different order for me. I'll have to play with it using some ideas you have. Wish my playing was a fraction as good as you. Loving the LT.
very coool vid. nice patches/tones and great riffs/soloing over the backing track. well done. keep it up. Saving up myself to upgrade from my Firehawk FX to the Helix LT
Stephen Soukup I did that Stephen. The Helix is in a different class....life changing! A pro friend of mine said “Just buy it...,you are only here once” ...... He knows what he’s talking about.....
@@andrewbutcher3391 Yeah I know... do you know any young kids just starting who want to start off with a mint like new Firehawk FX for practicing with? :)
@@andrewbutcher3391 yeah I know. if I had understood the gaps/misfortunes of it when I got it I would have passed and just waited. Also hardly any good support for it compared to the HUGE community for Helix family with patches and forums and videos
holy crap dude! i love your playing ! i really want to learn how to play like this. I have the Line6 SPider V 30. but i cant seem to get the sound i want our of it,. maybe you can help ?
The idea of using the "clean amp" as a pedal platform sort of negates the need to run delay and reverb behind the preamp. Most guys don't really run amps wide open enough to allow the preamp to overdrive a ton. Really simply, if you want to use the amp's natural overdrive, you may want to consider putting the "wet" effects post preamp. If you are using drive pedals they are effectively faux preamps and the wet effects behind them still makes sense, given a clean amp setup.

Great playing and great ear for tone man! I think this just sold me on the helix
Thank you for this video. I used it to dial in an amazing tele tone. Perfect!
Excellent video! Great playing and great tones, really showed off the potential of the helix.

This is great! Very well thought out, the levels of each pedal are just right, and the playing was great too!
Thanks!

Stephen Soukup Sadly no Stephen but it’s a decent piece of kit...just not in the same class as Helix.

Thanks this was super useful :)
Like it, thnx!
Awesome, could you please make bonamassa preset
More of that please.
So this is basically how to get john mayers tone 101 and ....I love it
Good playing and sound. Only a question; audio is direct from audio interface or do you use a mic amp? Have fun in music
Awesome tones! Very John Mayer-ish✌🏻
Playing was gr8 but sound was a bit thin i guess...Why did you put amp last in singal chain ? reverb should be after amp not before ?

Good one Ben!
739 subscribers? This dude outplays most of the other folks on TH-cam.
Good sound! But reverb before amp?
New to Helix. Do you find you need to noise gate most all these on the front end?
Damn I NEED something single coils 😩
Kool stuff
Interesting! You did use a Scarlett. Didn’t you use the Helix as an audio interface? What is the advantage?
I have this very same question!
Subbed 👍🏼
That wah is tastyyyyyy
Twin always sounds a bit 'anemic' and thin to me.
Excellent demo but I think you can get a good tone from a cardboard box with your style and excellent technique. I hear a lot of John Mayer...
Looks like you speed up your video to impress with speed
just don't feel it
