Helix Marshalls suck, eh

[Lysander]

This is an impressive showing for the HX Stomp - and yes, the Friedman IRX sounds just lovely here.

Wow I didn’t even know he was switching between them in the intro until he stated it later. That lead tone was . And with single coils too.

The moral of the story here is don’t bother with the IR-X if you own a Helix.

Thankfully, I don't bother with a lot of things these days because I own a Helix (Stomp)

Even through my phone the two sounded different in isolation. IRX seemed brighter and more compressed.

I could tell there was a little difference, but both sounded great and so close it really doesn't matter to me. Just some minor eq and compression tweaks an you are probably there anyways.

I never understood why the Helix Marshalls got such a bad rap? I like them.

Yes with the 2203 with spades of brightness, I think Marshalls are covered. Thanks @James Freeman

Definitely. It's a nice addition to an already solid lineup.

Hush your mouth, we still need a Silver Jubilee @Digital Igloo

Still needs some JVM, JMP and DSL love.

So... who's going to start a "Helix Silver Jubilee Request Thread" thread?

You're the Guru?!
I have literally no experience with the Jube. I played it once, and that was a clean tone. (which was quite nice, actually)

That’s the most boring and pointless moral ever. Love my Sumynergy BMan even if it Sounds The Same

a proper 2204 wouldn’t go amiss either….

compression tweaks

When he rolled his volume down and switched between the two, the IRX wasn't as clean and dynamic - I don't see how that can be tweaked on the IRX.

Would be cool to know which amp model he's using in the Stomp.

Just that there's plenty of other things beyond the sound.

Yeah. You can tell there's a difference, but only if you look for it... and i couldn't honestly tell you which one was which, without cues. The Stomp and the IRX were a minor EQ tweak away from sounding basically identical, which is kinda mind-blowing.

 

[NightWalker]

what amp he i using on the Helix?
