    Honestly, why can't I just find a video explaining how to ASSIGN the wah to the expression pedal? Good god.

    Very useful info. Peoples misunderstanding of how to use the helix complain about how bad the wah is.
    The problem is not the helix, it’s the user.
    I may just have to buy a helix after all.
    Thank you 🙏

    So many people seem to be unsatisfied with the wahs. I use virtually all the tips you mention and never use the default settings. The Mix and and Min and Max controls will make a great difference in themselves toward a better tone. You can get really any sound you can think of.

    I struggled with the wah sounds when I got my helix. Especially with dirty or distorted tones. However that changed when I updated the firmware to 2.9. Now my problem is deciding which model to use, as they all sound great!.

      Cats and dogs. A well made tele is great. I'm mostly a lp guy as well... Recently I've been broadening my horizons... And breaking the bank.

      I was a humbucker/Gibson guy for many years, never owned a single single-coil (yes, I realize I just said the) guitar. When I got my Variax, I ended up using the Tele and Strat models all the time.

      I traded my LP for that model Tele and I'd do it again. The American Elites are badass.

    Perfect timing - I was just playing with the whas and looking for a certain sound. Now I know I can sculpt it myself. I find they have too much high end toward the toe - so this is super helpful. Thanks!

    The Vetta Wah is the sexiest to play the highspeed arpeggios and legattos from Steve Vai's "For the Love of God". It has the longest range for the higher notes in the first string at the 15th to 22th fret. I'd love a model of the Morley Bad Horsie or other Crybaby's custom models like Jerry Cantrell, Dimebag Darrel or Slash's... Something with a boost in the higher frequencies to make it snarl (hahaha meowing is also good)... Great video Jason... keep them coming!!!
    I'm expecting your in-depth analysis of the Deluxe Phaser. I could never make it sound decent to my ears (warning: I love trippy over-the-top sounds like the ones given by the Boss Ph-3)...

    you can setup any FX to also turn on when your using the wah- like a fuzz, phase or delay

    • @TNNLZ
      @TNNLZ 10 дней назад

      How so? I would like to do just that… activate fuzz with wah. Is that a snapshot functio? I have not learned snapshots yet.
      Thanks for any suggestions!

    This is a clear and fairly complete presentation, I appreciate that. But I have to say in the end I struggle to hear any meaningful differences between the wah models.

    I used to cover "25 or 6 to 4" which has a long wah section, but that was pre-helix. I can see that I'm going to need to spend some quality time with Helix to come up with a really workable wah setting. Also I have found the toe switch to be a real bear to trigger, but I read that you can rig it to sort of "auto-on".

      @bikersoncall 3 года назад +1

      @@Uzurr69 This was 10 mos back,
      I don't remember the exact issue,
      I believe it was that when I would
      create a patch or use an existing
      one the pedal was assigned as
      wah, not by me just defaulting
      to wah. So when I would go to
      that particular patch, it would be
      in wah mode without me doing
      anything, so it would just sound
      weird, like in the low end of
      the wah tone , if the pedal was at
      'zero' when I got there.

      worth the 'price of admission', it was

    • @OscarASevilla

      I might know the issue you were having. If you have a volume block and a wah block, the expression pedal becomes the control for both. And thus, if you have the volume pedal on while also having the wah pedal on, it won't work properly. Instead, you will be trying to activate or use your wah, and the volume will also get messed with.

      Turn volume pedal off, while using wah, or else both effect blocks will activate when you attempt to use the pedal.

      You can use the Line 6 exp 1 or 2, the built-in pedal.

    • @Nicky-T
      @Nicky-T 4 года назад

      No. you have to rebuild them. I had to do this with my HD500X. Luckily, most, if not all of the older blocks on these units are in the Legacy sections of the Helix blocks. Probably the best thing to do is a fairly tedious documentation of the blocks and settings in your old units. Maybe a series of screen shots would make it easier.

    Real noob question: benefits of placing a distortion before the wah, compared with after the wah in the signal chain.

    • @liamtahaney713
      @liamtahaney713 4 года назад

      It sounds surprising different. The before the distortion it changes the guitar tone hitting the distortion, which makes it more subtle and doesn't change the tone of the distortion so much. After the distortion, it will change the tone of the distortion. Way more pronounced
