Helix "Stereo Boutique Amps" v2 Preset
Helix "Stereo Boutique Amps" v2 Preset
This preset contains two popular boutique amps set up in stereo for edge of breakup tones. The stereo image from these two amps is huge, and is even bigger in v2!
One footswitch toggles the amp drive and a few other parameters up and down for smooth overdrive tones, and the preset also contains several other drives, compressors, delays, and reverbs, all accessible in Stomp mode.
Like most of my presets, this preset has a humbucker / single coil foot switch that toggles a few parameters up and down to ensure this preset works well with a wide variety of guitars.
Snapshot 4 is set up as an ambient volume swell sound, enabling you to seamlessly switch in and out of an ambient sound.
Important note for users running mono: In order to widen the stereo spread, this preset has a 100% mix delay before the amp on path 1B. If you run mono with your Helix, you will need to bypass or delete this block or you will experience phasing issues when the amps are summed to mono at the output.
