We need some blindfold Helix videos
YES!
Electronic fart noises start after 26 minutes, actual playing after 28 minutes if you want to skip the banter & get to sounds of the Line 6.
I've watched a second time. It's actually a shame. This is such a fantastic bit of rig and the effect models are so authentic sounding - but this was 80% jumbled crosstalk, 15% gimmicky sounds, and 5% showing people how good the unit really sounds.
So true.
Yes I concur.
10 months late to the party... I came here to learn more and I did learn a few things... One of them being Lee should've sat this one out and should've done some paperwork or something instead 😋 Oh well! Off to the next demo and hopefully I'll get a better insight from those
Then why did you watch it twice?
The rep couldn’t get a word in edgewise from being cut off and talked over constantly
I love Andertons. Its my favourite music channel.. But, when Paul is demonstrating Line 6 you can tell he's getting the piss taken out of him. Hard to watch because he's a fantastic guitarist and guy
There is way too much chat here.
Tarotecana we are lucky Paul gets to do his things on other channels
I like the banter ... but have to agree on this particular video ... just not enough demonstration of the Helix
That's what I thought too.
If Pete says yeah one more time after every freakin word out of Pauls mouth.....I'll unsubscribe.
Over half the video is them defending its existence. Just play it already!
For anyone on the fence with these, i just think when you consider the price of a strymon timeline and a big sky together, you are well over the price of these, plus everything else this does this is incredible.
Is the HX reverb as good as the big sky? And echo/delay as good as the timeline?
@@realtruenorthwhen you’re playing outdoors and your amp is micd through the PA, no one is going to notice. I’ve used HX effects for 2 years now. I still use pedals for my drive tones, but the capability of HX and the sounds really make it pointless to go back to an all pedal board
@@marcohoxha2769 I only care about what I notice I like to enjoy what I hear.
Id love to have a beer with Paul and Pete.
yes and a massive joint
Same here.
Would be so much fun. Or, for me, since I am a bartender, it would be enough to just have them sit at my bar :D
I'd love to have a beer.
I’d love to share one with the whole andertons crew
Kudos to Line 6 for making products that allow musicians all the tools they could possibly want at an affordable price. The Helix LT is absolutely amazing and I'm sure this product is as well. It's like having every episode of That Pedal Show in a box for the price of a Strymon. And Kudos to Andertons for making videos of these products for those of use who want tools as much as trend.
Nathan Montover I was actually saving up for a bigsky but I don't think I need to now with helix 2.5, those new reverbs are killer.
"affordable" lol
dude, less than 500 used. come on, now
it should be free, right?
cheapo people
Sure, these contraptions are only what-400-600 bucks or so- depending on which one you get- but it's not like you can just buy one and start playing- now you need a cab or some FRFR speakers- which cost as much as these units almost. I think the cheapest I've found is around 200 bucks or so- and it would suck to use because you're not going to get what the unit is really capable of until you spend some real money. But let's say you just spend 200- now you're in for around 700-800 bucks, you can buy a really nice tube amp for the same amount. Bedsides- you're going to keep buying pedals anyway- I have yet to see any pedal lover buy one of these and stop buying pedals- just doesn't happen. They buy this- and they keep buying pedals because they want to be part of that community and keep experiencing all the new stuff that comes out. Most of them end up with one of these, and a big pedal board and amp- now they have 2 rigs. It doesn't save money- it should, but it doesn't.
Oh come on now! Where is that Marshall Origin demo? Is that ever going to happen?
Ocsi Pepe They are still not released yet. Not even for some proper demos.
Dead Hand Blues Danish Pete posted on his Facebook page where they are doing the review, I think the video is ready, just needs to be posted!
Ah right. They sit on demos for a while sometimes like the Brent Hinds terror until they start shipping.
Dead Hand Blues 👌
if it can play early 80's metal... gonna be a big surprice (obviously with pedals help xd)
first dislike is from Glenn Fricker :V
Eric Valverde Glenn was all "Why didn't you hit it with a hammer, bro?"
yeeeeeah
Would like to see more playing. I was looking forward to hearing what the overdrives/distortions sounded like.
Same here...
Me to- I want to hear a bass E power cord, just let it ring out- because imo that's the hardest thing for digital to get right. No idea why but I've played lots of digital overdrives and dist. that sound great- until you hit that open, E, power cord- or really any big powerful power cord on the low E string- it's like it's too much information for it to handle or something- sounds weird, grainy, sometimes fizzy. Not always- I've heard digital units that get it right, and it's not always the unit either- speakers play a big part to. The wrong speaker will sound grainy, fizzy- odd. The Katana has this issue- and when they (Capt. and Pete) took the speaker out of a Katana and put it in Fender amps- they sounded that way to. Then they put the Celestion back in- it went away. The Celestion speakers are far better at handling gain.
Nice to see Paul again. Awesome player
So much talking I lost the will to watch..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Quit talking over eachother Jesus Christ.
I thought it was just me. Pete is the worst at talk over.
i find myself nowadays watching anderton videos instead of netlix
They need to re-do this video and show what the product does. This is 52 minutes of unintelligible rambling.
I kind of wish Lee didn't fiddle as much and let Paul do his thing. Seriously disjointed video.
The Captains facial expressions = professional golfer Justin Rose mixed with Mr. Bean
Every time Paul visits they don't let him talk. Shut up Lee.
Paul is annoying
Hah, Lee is just dying of boredom here
Do you eat spaghetti using the forkable method?
i cut it with a knife and then I fork it. Its the best :)
Fork handles ?
How would you eat spaghetti with four candles?
fork yeah!
someone toucha ma spagehttt
Can I get Netflix on one of these?
I will get one this month 🤘🏻❤️😍
Woohoo!!! Paul is back!!! Been a long time!!!
How about letting the guy who actually works for Line6 explain what it does... Pete is making a habit of talking over this guy.
Great to see Paul back. What a player.
God almighty 25mins in and still just talking. Then a synth effect. Then an advert for constipation relief medicine. - I’m out.
When Paul plays, Lee has a smile you could pour on a waffle.
Paul is the man, he's the best player that came in this channel. Every videos with him is an experience, his playing is out of this world !
Would using this be as confusing as trying to follow the conversation of the three of them talking over each other? What the hell happened here? Were there differing agendas? Or panic about what had to be covered in a set time? A mess.
Is that John Mayer in the background.....some sort of foreshadowing? Hopefully!
So. Much. Talking.
Hey Captain, I know that the loops can be used to use your own distortion boxes, or preamps or amps patched in, and that you can use the Helix to switch channels on an amp as part of a patch change. But unfortunately, much like every other review on the Helix FX, no one has demonstrated that functionality of it as part of a real world scenario that a gigging guitarist can use, it’s always sounds washed out with to much effects, that honestly very few guitarist will use. Pleeease show us a setup with an amp , or a good boutique style distortion box like a Bogner Red or Blue, which can accept external footswitches, or both patched in, and do some real world channel switching. Do like a clean, rhythm lead set up with a nice simple clean sound , and a slightly chores,echoing clean tone, a nice in your face dirty rhythm that has just slight reverb, and a nice blooming lead tone with delay and reverb. Get someone like Rabea to demonstrate it , I find he has abilities that cover a wide range of musical styles very nicely, and have him switch around different setups that working musician would encounter, at a metal club gig, a rock and blues show or even a wedding gig. That would be really helpful instead of listening to a sound drowning in reverb, echo and chorus.
Paul is back!
Everyone sleeps on the Helix products from Line 6. All my friends did until I sounded much better than them at every venue we played at. Simple. Intuitive. Sounds and feels like a tube amp.
Still in the process of selling the majority of my heavy and now useless amps.
Eric Renner lol! I agree. I have sold everything and bought two 20 watt EL84 amps and the HX. Have a killer wet/dry setup from clean to modern rock means. I have more than what I want. Best time to be a guitarist.
I find with any kit like this I just get complete option paralysis. I suppose they're really useful if you want a lot of different sounds and need to cover a lot of bases... but I just want a few sounds that work for me in the context of my own music.
Well then don’t buy it lol what’s the point of this comment
I'm the same way, but i switched to the full sized Helix and it's the best decision I ever made. Patches can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be (DSP allowing of course) and it sounds incredible. And now when I go play somewhere i put the Helix in the backpack on my back and grab my guitar case and that's it, no more lugging amps and crazy-heavy pedalboards
Too much talking guy's, please let the guitar sounds do that😔
I own one and love it!!
If helix had voice control how long before your audience members just requested the miku preset?! ;P
A little less talk and a lot more action!
more videos with Paul pleeeeaaassseeee!
Pete was distracting in this otherwise very informative video.
I’ve been waiting for a pedalboard sans amp models. Ordered this yesterday!
Yup, I ordered one. The guitar world will be flooded with these things :-).
Ooh lee.. champion salesman despite the fact your honest face says fk this BS.. HILARIOUS
Lee, like me also, wanted to hear the thing instead of people talking about features, which is boring.
I hope they do another video with just playing instead of 95% talking.
We will!!
Glad to hear that! The Helix HX seems like a very cool concept at a fair price. The drives and the distorsions seem specially neat. I'm probably going to buy one soon and pair it with my Friedman BE100.
both dan and mick use line 6 all the time......so i've bought one. i've thrown all my old shitty pedals in the bin
(edit) at 15:30 lee is so bored he starts to pull faces just like mr bean. bless him
It lacks a built in expression/wah pedal, therefore it is NOT the only effects pedal you'll ever need. Even my modest little RP500 has that. The other issue is Line 6 reliability, which is another sad story.
archiguitarchi I have a 1996 original pod and it works perfectly
I am NOT hard on my equipment, still I had a Flextone III that crapped out, a Spider 30 that crapped out, and a Variax 500 that was totally unreliable.Even my MM3 quit working reliably. Consider yourself lucky.
Well, youre not careful with your equipment either. There are tons of old line6 equipment that is still working perfectly fine
my morning coffee and a new video from Andersons tv, one of the many pleasures of life! Thanks capt!
This coming month is 2 years since I bought this HX Effects. It's had a couple issues that was fixed with updates from Line 6. But it has become a very important box for me. It has become my whole effects system and overdrives. Love mine. I have ran it with other modelers, my Mesa Recto, my Marshall JVM, even my Kemper. It's a great box.
I'm all for technology giving musicians options for a reasonable price, but I personally want my rig to be simple, I just want one amp with a couple channels built in, and a small pedalboard with the effects I need, So that's clearly not for me, at least for now. But some of you guys saying this is shit, or saying that line6 is afraid and that is why they sent Paul, get a life please, stop acting childish. You either need something like this or you don't, no reason to go further than that.
Gutted! Just bought a Zoom G5N and hate the thing because it sounds shite through headphones! asked Zoom technical for help and basically got a 'so what?' response from them. Nothing wrong with the headphones because I put them through a Boss ME80 and the sound quality is great. Will happily invest in a Line 6 Helix if it will work with headphones and Zoom and go **** themselves!
I wouldn't say Lee is unenthused or "ruining" any of these videos. With this one, in particular, I think that Lee really just wanted Pete and Paul to show off the tones that you can get, and it was almost all talking, even though he had said "let's play!'" multiple time. If you really hate watching the Cap, why don't you just go watch someone else? hmm?
I've just ordered mine, late to the game I guess. But I wanted to find out more and instantly cme to andertons. However I feel bad for saying this but it's one if them videos that would have been better without Pete. His cross talk is too much rather than the showing of the pedal.
The guy demoing does a great job- great player
But can it run crysis?
22:59 you FINALLY get to hear the damn thing. Wayyyyyy too much talking on this one!
Line 6 haters in 3...2...1....
1…2…3…Line6 hater. No, not really. I've got a FM4 and that is great! But personaly no muliteffects for me. But it's a nice one here for those of us who needs one.
I hate Line 6
Lawdy, that Strat is GORGEOUS!
Hey Pete. Maybe don't talk over the top of everyone.
Lee ,your face said it all when he played the 'script phase.' nice box shame about the tone.
I think Lee really likes Paul as a player and a person, not so sure he is that keen on digi effects in general. that's just not the way he plays.
The ultimate board for Lee would convince him he was just playing some top notch overdrive etc into his trusty Blues Junior and then he would say "Well I already have that".
Not a criticism I love the Captain maybe Pete gets it more because he can see a use for it.
Anyway looking forward to next years voice activated "HeyHelix" unit.
I really want to like this pedal, I like the idea, but if the guy who sells them can't get anything decent out of it I have no chance!
To demonstrate the ease and simplicity of programming effects for your average cover band guitar player, a very good demo would be to get a list of recognizable songs with very unique effects, learn a small part of the songs that the effects are highlighted on and have your Helix rep dial in that effect on the spot without knowing the songs... then play the passage to compare to the actual recording... as a top 40 player myself, it'd be interesting to see how quickly a rep could simulate the effect on the fly...
I'm so paralyzed right now. I'm such a loser. This stuff just completely lobotomizes me. I need to hire someone to do all this for me. I can't remember the riff I wrote yesterday let alone all these shenanigans. I love the concept though, I just keep thinking who actually has the capacity to use one of these? Great video, the struggle continues!
millershane71 kids
Hour long video. 3 minutes of playing. 🤦🏻♂️
Is Lee flipping Paul off at 22:23? I think he badly wants this to move along.
Anyone remember the G system? It’s kinda what Lee was talking about. Taking care of all your Effects while using your own drive pedals to put in your own loops. Probably like 12 years old now but in my opinion was a fantastic and probably now affordable option.
Looks very confusing to me
Would prefer a better or screen like the Helix !!!!!!
so much talking. Let's hear sounds. i mean usable musical sounds.
Mine arrived yesterday from Andertons....sounded great but it broke after 2 hours as failed to ever boot up properly and freezes!! Sending it back sadly.
Line 6 quality sucks. Too bad because the product concepts are great. I've spent a lot of money on their stuff that ends up breaking shortly after the warranty is up.
Dirtdirt > Fake news.
Some units fails, it happens, but last Line 6 products are built like tanks.
Is danish Pete replacing more and more chappers in the vids? He’s a great player
The Captain had an anyerism at 20:00.
Me too and I'm a Technologist.
Great advert for the King of Tone! No one is any the wiser after nearly an hour if the Helix sounds any good.
The world is changing. First the Kempers and the Katanas and now this... I'm excited for the future.
Mornay Carstens i have the Helix LT, that thing blows me away every day!
It is interesting indeed. Some companies are really developing nice new stuff.
Maybe a reason why other (known) companies struggle so much?
Times are changing.
I got a Firehawk to complement my Variax. At first I thought it's sounds were a little clinical "That digital Something Missing feeling", but run through a valve amp set to clean or light break up, it's tones started to make more sense.
I've never been an anti this, anti that type of guy. I'm more; if it works use it. But the budget Firehawk really impresses me now. Didn't have the readies to splash out on Helix at the time but I could use those extra assignable Send/returns nowadays.
Forget 2 wire/4 wire. I'm running 7 wire. No mean feat with only one FX Loop on the Firehawk.
If I were to upgrade Line6'wise I'd still probably go full Helix but I can see the HX appealing to some as a specific solution.
I just go the LT about a week ago. Its amazing. And I've only even scratched the surface of what it can do.
im not that much excited xd....i see this technology as a poberty solution 😭😭😭, and to make easy some things......i have a Boss Katana 100 Combo and i was blown away by the ammount of versatility and tones available...its scary cuz you move a parameter a little bit and boom...new tone...i think distorsions can improve (the brown channel is very good, but i think that maybe pinch harmonic reaction can be better) but i really really really REALLY want to buy a Marshall DSL100HR and a Boss ES8 and make that analog/digital marriage, im happy about what technology can give us, but my complain is that is very difficult to find a very good and useful digital overdrive/distorsion...i was very scared that i wont like the Katana metal tones...but i still dialing to find the sweet spot, and for the moment, im satisfied with the brown channel+turbo OD and the parametric EQ (that i still have to learn to use)
No Miku effect??? Fail! ;-)
The Cap looked rather pained at times. Almost cringe worthy.
PAUL VS PETE. make it happen.
PS: It would be great to see how the HX Effects would work in a Bass rig?
Maybe that's something Lee and Nathan could also check.
Is it me or does the captain seem like he needs a vacation in this video?
22:29 is where Lee actually nails it. By putting a preamp pedal i one of the loops and use IR`s you sort of have a full Helix without a lot of unneccesary amp models. The HX FX is the best Line6 product so far imo.
The Captain kept on wanting them to play and never got them to do it 😂😂😂
8 cable method: wet dry wet rig :D
Would anyone recommend this for a beginner? I’ve been playing for about a year and I have pedals and everything but I heard about this unit and saw that it has a bunch of pedals in it so I looked into it but I seems somewhat overwhelming. Opinion?
If you can afford it, go for it. But check out the HX stomp, I think it's better,, and its smaller.
Too much talk, not enough rock.
PAUL HINDMARSH!
Seriously!! I agree where is the Marshall origin demo with Pete and the Captain (Not Chappers because he will just shred it).
Lets get some real crunch with the origin!! Are ya listening in there?
Jones William Thomas Brenda Robinson Richard
Lost me 5 minutes in !!!
which language is the helix guy talking???
freedom now Geordie
Wayyyy toooo much talking!!! Looking forward to Pete Thorn demoing this unit....
I'm not hating, but there is a culture difference btw European demo vs North America demos. The Euro demo vids talk way too much "about nothing".. Just chattering about........Nothing.. We camehear to listen with a few tid-bits. They have to really good players. let them play..
I feel like over the past year or two Lee has gotten very dismissive of stuff he doesn't like personally. Not like in a "that's not for me" way, but in a "idiots are the only people who like that" way. He can have whatever opinion he wants, but even if I agree with him, the way he reacts in those cases really turns me off from the video.
Idk about being the only FX pedal I’ll ever need. To me it seems like the TC Electronics G system does way more for an fx pedal. I mean am I wrong? For me just wanting fx and change all my fx’s at a press of one button and program to change the channels on my amp. Did I miss something? It’s like everyone is doing what TC did years ago long before the stuff that’s out now. I don’t understand why the g system didn’t take off bigger than it did. Why would I want this over the g system? Can someone please explain this to me?
Bring Paul back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Props to Paul for making a 52min demo video and handling two kindergarten kids simultaneously. Hahah
Man, sorry but listening to these two guys was kinda annoying... like two small teenagers xD. I just wanted a good review
All this video needed was Chappers shredding. It would then officially be the worst you've done! Way too much jaytalking all over each other.
Old Pete plays a bit, don’t he. I reckon he’s played before, Y’know.
I don't know if it's only me, but Lee seems to be being sarcastic many times in this video with his comments and body language like he really doesn't want to be doing this video. I'm guessing Line 6 paid money for this and he can't be arsed. I also get the vibe that Lee and the Line 6 guy don't get along off camera.
3's a crowd ?
Lots of...well some unfiniished ...sentenceses
I know its an old video but Can anyone please Tell me what that pedal on the left. The one that looks a bit like a wah
Mission Engineering expression pedal.
