4x12 Blackback 30 (4x12" Park® 75 G12 H30)

This is a good cabinet for classic rock tones.
The G12 speaker from Celestion has a strong, aggressive low-end and powerful low-mids, the G12H penetrates any mix with an attacking upper mid-range and an ice-cool top- end. Used singly or in quartets it provides serious attitude to soft amp tones, easily cutting through loud stage levels for chord work, and imparting a hard edge to single notes.

Helix Hour JCM800
A nice sounding 3 snapshot preset, with JCM 800, killer lead with dimed mids 10 band EQ. Rhythm, Dirty and Lead. Lead snapshot cuts like a knife. More presets coming soon. Shamelessly borrowed from CustomTone.com to have a few patches available for Pod Go launch.

Mike Ness Tone
This is the HX Stomp version of this tone - there's also a version for the Helix available here by selecting the Helix as your device. This is a very good approximation of Mike Ness's Tone on the Social Distortion albums. The recipe is iconic - a dirt pedal into a Bassman head, then into Marshall cabinets. The sample clip was played on a legit Les Paul with P90 pickups - you need this to get the real deal.

Appetite 1/2 Step
This patch solves my biggest headache as a guitar player - playing along to GNR's Appetite for Destruction with standard tuning. Uses the new Poly Capo model to virtually tune you down 1/2 a step. Genius!If you own some good IR's (and you should) - substitute the cab choice. You'll get even closer to the album tone.

Green Day Brain Stew
I made this patch to play along to Brain Stew Stem files. Did a little research on the internet and came across Wampler's video where he works out that tone. He uses the EVH 5150 MXR pedal. I figured, that's just trying to emulate the amp we have in Helix so why not just use the PV Panama :D I think it worked well. I turned up the noise gate to get that tight tone for the chords.I hope you enjoy and would love any feedback you have.

Mick Mars
A Mick Mars/Mötley Crüe tone that is more of what he has been doing from Dr. Feelgood on. Using a Digitech Drop for the whole step drop and a 2010 EVH MIJ Wolfgang Special.
