Brother. I been watching the 3.5 update vids from the Helix community but your perspective is just..... thank you.
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate Nick's shirt? It was a pretty good update too.
The new cabs are a def big improvement, so nice to be able to do, although I kind of already know what I want from my IRs at this point. Been loving the Model T. One thing I have to agree on for sure is that feeling of being looked after by Line6... all the free updates for LIFE and actually feeling like you are being looked after by a company isn't something happens too often! It's much appreciated, and Yamaha who own Line6 are dope also.
Thanks for the new/ old comparison. New sounds wider and like you are in the room and old sounds as if I am on the other side of a door 🚪 🎶
Hey Nick/ guys, long time chugger. I own 4 guitars, a cheap squier bullet hss strat(modded with a Duncan JB) a charvel pro mod h.h slime green with Duncan distortion, ltd iron cross with emg het-set..and an Epiphone 84 explorer custom shop with the emg 81/85. I play through my helix ltd and bypass the front end of my spider 240mk 2 with 2×12s. I'm loving all of it, and have many impulse responses from ownhammer, York etc. I'm a hard rock /thrash/80s metal nut.. occasionally doing modern drop C(ugh lol) stuff( half step down is my home though) To my POINT. I am able to freely rotate guitars for the first time in AGES ( I will come back to this point) And I love all 4 I own for different reasons.The passive ones..JB- nails early and modern EVH,Motley, Megadeth+ any "Marshally" amps Perfect..modern amps..ehh "alright".You would think my other passive guitar(charvel with Duncan distortion) would be similar..and it is, BUT..to my surprise it also handles the "modern"( diezels, bogners,revv,5150, especially mesas..omg) SURPRISINGLY well, unlike the JB. The het-set: man..just..HOT. Gobs of chunk,an airy-ness,lower mids,cut, openness ,almost like a JB had a baby with an emg 81. Handles the modern amps amazing. Then there's, well idk. The emg 81 in the bridge of my explorer is..not how I remember? I have owned an explorer with this pickup before(not the same one, long since sold)and just remember it having more "balls". It isn't weak per-se..very focused, and "compressed"is a term I hear a lot..and it's almost as if either my switch sounds like it's in the middle, or the volume is rolled of just a "hair". Took it apart, tight wiring, raised,lowered, battery, even the good old "tap each pup with a screwdriver", even took it to a tech. Anybody out there, is it either A:your emg is defective, or B: as I stated earlier, for the first time, I am able to play an emg 81 guitar, in a rotation with 3 other different one's, and what I am hearing is naturally par for the course when you compare pickups? Again..when I'm using a mesa, or 5150,with the right i.r., the 81 guitar comes SCARY close to A.J.F.A, black album, loady stuff...but..not much else:(Is it just that less hot compared to all the other options in rotation? Thanks in advance Nick/ fellow tone junkies/chuggers
Was waiting for this video from you to come out. Thank you for what you do as always. 💚
DAYUM! That tone is absolutely wicked! 🤘🤘
Hell YES. love that tone super heavy and tight Nick. Was anxioudly awaiting your vid on the new 3.5 stuff. Awesome. Better later than never ;) rock on man. Love all you do.
Yes! Was waiting for your take on this 🤘
Been waiting on your review of this. Thanks!!
Great stuff Nick - Thanx!!
JUST found this... keep up the good work! GRIND AWAY!!!!!
Yes. Good to see you nick
Sounds great and nice tight playing too !
thank you Nick!
I’ve been waiting for your take on the new update!
rock on Nick . awesome as ever
Even though you are not sponsored by Line 6, you should be! You always give some very in-depth, helpful information. I find myself referencing your videos often. My band is in the process of recording our EP and I guarantee we will be using some of your tips and tricks. Would you ever consider doing a video about dialing in a front of house tone? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Yess, I was waiting for your video about 3.5. Thanks, Nick :)
“Line 6 Badonk, fight me if you want” 😂😂 hey, if it sounds good, it is good, right?
Great dive into the specifics! Thanks for sharing your sound scaping skills
Kudos to you, Nick, for another great video!
Been waiting for you to make a vid on the new update.
Awesome playing as usual
Hey Nick thanks for another great video, the tones you get out of the helix are really impressive and your channel has become my go to place for learning how to get the most out of my helix lt. keep up the good work sir ! Great guitar playing by the way !
That demo track was tasty.
Fantastically well explained videos. Thank You. I cannot believe how good the new cab engine is ( using Helix Rack and floor controller) Love you playing styles and sound
Nick, great to see you back again. This Line 6 update has been a game changer, for sure. This video is so good! Thanks for always sharing the helpful content you do. Keep it coming!
Oh, thats neat! I love it when vendors give a lot of parameters to fiddl with :D And damn, you got some tasty tones out of that!
I'll have to grab the demo and give it a try. Thanks for the vid :D
They actaually added 4 new cabs to FW 3.50 Sunn 4x12, Orange 2x12 PPC, Marshall 1960AV V30, Eden D410XLT 4x10 and upgraded 16 old cabs from the legacy section
Good call man! Thanks for clearing that up
Oh, that demo sounded frigging great 👍
Thanks Nick. Looks like you have upgraded some of your video graphics since the last time I watched. A more polished and professional look 👌 👏 overall.
Love the channel and your content Nick, I've learned so much about helix and production in general from you
Edit: I should've added that I have helix native I don't have a hardware helix
Riffcityyyyy. That riff in the playthrough demo is sick
Damn, finally...Was waiting for my favorite line 6 plug to give his two cents on the new update.
Sounds killer ..this is inspiring TY Horns up! (only critique is I was only able to play/view this in 360p - not sure where that issue stems from tho).
RUclips is processing the 4k
@@NickHillMakesMusic Oh ..gotya...then I get to watch again 👍🏻
This update makes the Helix feel like a brand new unit! The tone in this is sick too man, do you plan doing a walk thru for this specific tone?
Definitely agree that the new cabs are pretty game changing I'll be interested to see if they take some more of the legacy cabs in the next update and make them "new" as well.
the new cabs sound brutal \m/
I'm really not into metal, that demo riff is fncking sweet.
awesome video Nick how are you feeling about the cab update do you still prefer IR's ?
That evertune makes those strings have serious individual tone and separation..Does it come thru while playing it ?...great playing , and sounding video...
2:13 It is nice, however if someone wants to use this for the Fredman technique, it will not be accurate, since it is 55 degree angle, not 45. Fredrick Nordstrom tells it himself. Great video anyway.
Yep, you are correct but at least within the helix, we can get closer and that was my point.
There is also lots of literature on varying degrees with various mics so while it isn’t exactly what Fred did all those years ago, we can at least experiment with the philosophy.
Thanks for being here.
Lol. Anyways, YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING! 😂
Top 3 amps and cabs in 3.5?
When using dual cabs as mono, it would be nice to be able to pan between the two speakers to find the right blend. Hoping for an update on this ;-)
You can pan if you use the new Cab block
@@NickHillMakesMusic Not like I describe it, read my comment again! What is needed is a balance pot between the 2 cabs, does this help?
“Ready comment again!” What’s with the attitude my guy?
I did read your comment. Perhaps it’s not clear at conveying what you’d like to see out of the update and not my lack of reading.
@@NickHillMakesMusic I'm sorry if you read my comment as bad attitude, I just added detail to my comment to clarify what I meant.
@@christianboddum8783 All good, just a misunderstanding!
So is helix as good as axe now?
Whatever you prefer man, I ain’t even about that, “ this or that, debate.
Also, I only have a helix so I can’t rightfully compare the two
