LA Studio Comp (Teletronix® LA-2A®)

LA Studio Comp, the Helix model of a Teletronix® LA-2A®

For over 50 years the Teletronix LA-2A has been revered for its smooth, natural, musical compression. WIth its unique tube-driven electro-optical attenuator system that allows instantaneous gain reduction with no increase in harmonic distortion, the LA-2A massages signals like no other compressor ever made.

Oh Ingrid

Derailed Ingrid patch, showing the Trainwreck amp model of the Helix. The Dhyana Drive is included, but not enabled by default. I have been making good use of the "Double Take" modulation effect, it adds a lot of body to the sound through headphones. If you're playing into a PA or direct recording, you may want to turn off this effect.You can hear various degrees of distortion in the Soundcloud demo - I didn't change anything except the attack of my pick.In the Soundcloud demo I am playing a Les Paul standard with a Burstbucker in the bridge.

Dimed Tweed Les Paul

From Joost Assink: I had set myself the goal to master all the parts in the epic final solo of Hotel California in my downtime during this crisis. I found out there are 11 parts!! (6 electric guitars, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 bass part, the organ part and of course programming drums). Well, it took a little longer than expected. I recorded all electric guitars and the bass using line 6 helix into an Apollo X8. I recorded the acoustic guitars with a stereo set of Neumann KM184s and I mixed everything in the new Universal Audio Luna DAW. I used a custom patch based on the tweed amp with a custom IR for all the electric guitars and I use the standard Cali 1 bass preset for the bass guitar. For the solos, I enabled a tube screamer, and for the telecaster parts, I added the script mod phaser pedal. For the reggae rhythm, I enabled the Wah pedal in a fixed position and for the supporting electric guitar lines, I added a little bit of chorus. Here's a free link to the IR used in the Youtube video:

Phil X Pod Go

This patch is based off of the information on this post on The Gear Page. It's a simple Placater dirty amp into a delay. The amp settings are identical to those in the discussion, and instead of an IR, this version uses a stock cab. Adjust to taste, as always.

Killer Reverb

Member Goo Fighters of The Gear Page had this cool suggestion, so I tested it on a patch and liked it thru headphones.It's an interesting method of stacking reverbs to get different ambient effects.

Brothers Osborne - Stay A Little Longer

This patch is inspired by the tone of The Brothers Osborne's "Stay A Little Longer." The preset is based on the Silvertone 1484 (aka Mail Order Twin), a documented feature of the John Osborne live rig. I also recommend trying this out with a Fender DRRI (US Deluxe Nrm), as this is a slightly cleaner take on the tone.

5150 Crunch Lead Wah

Super fun 5150 patch... not for chugging but is a great hard rock patch. It has 3 snapshots... 1. Rhythm 2. Lead 3. Lead with auto wah. This was made with my PowerCab Plus using a York Audio IR so you will need to keep that in mind. Enjoy!!!

Mary Jane's Last Dance

This is a lightly edited mod of johnnyrauker's patch on CustomTone, found while looking for good uses of the Alpaca Rouge overdrive. Terrific sounding patch, nails the tones of Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. Experiment with different guitars for alternate tones.
