(firmware 2.82 and above)
This pack, made for djent and modern prog-metal, has 40 presets, including the bonus presets added with firmware 3.60, which uses the new Helix cabs. Also included are 9 IRs. As usual, those presets are for FRFR systems. They have been tested with extended range guitars (7 and 8 strings), and work with regular 6 strings guitars too. Included in the pack, is a detailed tweaking guide, should you want to adjust something to your specific instrument, or just personalize the sound.
The snapshots of the 23 main presets are as follow :
1 Rhythm
2 Gated Rhythm, for those ultra syncopated riffs
3 Radio SFX (the “telephone” sound)
4 Lead
5 Clean
6 Clean with delay
7 Clean with modulation
8 Clean ambient (much more delay & reverb)
Each of those presets has a different clean amp model.
The other 17 presets combines two metal amps, one on the left channel, the other one on the right channel ; each has 4 snapshots (three different rhythm settings, one lead). They are meant to be used in stereo ; however snapshots 1 & 4 will also work great in mono.
I didn’t make a proper demo yet but here’s some DI tracks by Sarah Longfield and Nolly reamped through Helix Native and those presets :
Edit 24.01.2022 : 3.11 update :
I have re-tweaked this pack with a 7 strings guitars with Fishman Fluence Javier Reyes signature set. The new version of the presets is more aggressive, with more gain and low end/high end. I also decided to use the same amp model for the clean snapshots, the one that sounded the best, for this free update. Also updated are some effect settings – I used the Dynamic Hall for the reverb.
For the following video, I updated the preset “TDR Djent 23”. Both versions are included in the pack. Obviously, this is thrash, not djent, but who cares 😉
