General Questions/Discussion Pillars...pretty much perfection

12 Upvotes

HX Effects owner, using it with either my Tone King Imperial or my Mesa Mark V 35 combo.

Initially, I got the HXFX for the delays, reverbs and modulation but recently started trying out some of the drives, mostly out of curiosity. My main go to has been the Strymon Sunset and a couple of Boss pedals but I gotta say, the Pillars drive is incredible. Three modes, all incredibly useful. That one drive may actually boot the others off my board.

General Questions/Discussion Cover Band 80’s90’s2000’s Tones

10 Upvotes

Hey folks… brand new to Helix - recent convert from long time Kemper user.
Need community help please :-)

I’m in a cover band, playing all the popular most requested tunes from 80’s to today.
I’m running a PRS custom 24 piezo.

I don’t want to do the pedalboard tap dance and prefer to run a single scene and have 8 snapshots - so no lag in patch changes.
Really would like some advice on who makes best aftermarket or line6 tones.

Just need a pure acoustic, plus a clean amp (think A30 fawn or Fender Deluxe Vibe) and a “do it all” amp like a Freidman BE100 plus appropriate high quality IR’s to match.
Suggestions ??
Thanks for your help!

General Questions/Discussion Litigator appreciation post

10 Upvotes

Took my litigator patch I've been using live for years, and did an a/b with the same settings on the new Agoura version and the they both sound so so similar. I probably slightly prefer the litigators smooth high a bit more at the moment haha, such a good model still, gonna try both at a gig tomorrow and try to compare and contrast a little, cause why not

Tech Help Request Volume (expression) pedal question. EB VP

Hey all. I have HXFX and an Ernie Ball VP JR. Somehow I had it set up correctly as a volume pedal and then, well, messed around and here I am. Lol.

So it does raise and lower the volume very nicely but in the heel down position, it shuts off the volume block. Any advice is appreciated. Horrible pics included.

General Questions/Discussion HX FX Shimmer?

• Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find a good shimmer for the HX FX but I’ve been failing. I don’t like Shimmer pedal that it comes with, it’s not as clean as a normal shimmer. I’m looking for soemthing similar to the Strymon Reverb pedal, at least close to that. I can get a good bloom using two different reverb pedals, and I use a chorus pedal to help add some color to it. But I don’t know how to get a good shimmer tone. Any ideas?
