Noise Gate, the Helix model of a Line 6® Original

Acoustic guitar

this sound makes your guitar sound acoustic it may sound a little dirty so just turn down the drive of the amp to the right amount of drive you want or need :)This patch has other pedals I've added for a clean sound try them out and see if you like them :)

Tim Henson - Blood Moon

This tone was made to replicate Tim Henson's tone on his track Blood Moon. I personally use this preset with coil splitted neck humbucker on my PRS CE 24 and it sounds great :)Guitarist: Tim HensonBand: PolyphiaGuitar I used: PRS CE 24

Ambient Rock

The patch has three presets which are for switching sounds while soloing. The first preset is a light overdrive, the second light overdrive plus echo, and the third light overdrive plus distortion. See the example below for a soloing example. I also added a noise gate to help reduce the noise.

JOHNAMAYERTRIX

(Reposted with permission from AndrewUtz on CustomTone.com) A John Mayer Tone, referencing Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. In this patch I used some basic stuff that I know John has used (or the closest thing to it I could find). I know live he has used dumbles along with a fender bandmaster, so for this I used a split path and ran a Litigator and a Twin Reverb at the same time. As far as the cabs go I tried my best to match how I know that continuum was recorded, I typically use red wire IR's but for you guys I used the equivalent Helix cabs. I put a dual cab block of the same cab but one is mic'd with a 57 and the other a beyerdynamic 160 (he really used an M88). Looks like he also used U87 or 67 room mics but alas it wouldn't let me add in another cab block. To compensate for this I used a room reverb at the end of the chain. I also put the Spring reverb before the cabs to simulate the acutal outboard fender reverb tanks john has used in the past. This patch probably needs some tweaking to make it like whatever you like, but I definitely think this is a good starting point for a Mayer like tone.

Heretick Lead

My current personal metal lead sound, based on the Line 6 Fatality. Smooth and buttery with a huge ambiance. No cab modeling, since I use my Pod Go into a power amp into a Vintage 30 equipped cab.

Heretick Riffs

My current personal metal riffing sound, based on the Line 6 Fatality. Tight and percussive, but in a thrashy way. No cab modeling, since I use my Pod Go into a power amp into a Vintage 30 equipped cab.

Dual Overdrives

I use this as a template. Clean amp with two overdrives in front. The first one in the chain with high gain and medium volume, and the second with low gain and high volume. Add-on additional effects as needed.
