Line 6 is truly the king of continued support and updates. Truthfully they could have saved these models for their next product but they keep on giving to the community. Hats off line 6.
I have to wonder if the next gen device will be fully backwards compatible with the current device's presets. The amount of investing they're doing in the current gen (and have continued to do for years) makes me think they are aiming for a future where it will all still be relevant. Realistically the only thing the current Helix can't do that others can is on-board modeling...which is only valuable for a (relatively) infinitesimally small percent of the market. I can see the next gen device maybe having modeling, and more DSP (though the current DSP is probably more than sufficient, especially with the IR and Cab DSP optimizations they did with 3.5). Frankly I have trouble imagining what they could improve the current product aside from maybe a better on-board editing experience/interface.
I just started using this GSG model, and I'm blown away by how full and rich it sounds. At the moment, I think it's definitely the best model in the Helix. It's incredible the way Line 6 keeps adding value to my now pretty old helix unit.
Congratulations on your presets going into Helix 3.60! -13A [048] Grammatico JNC. Preset created by John Cordy FACTORY 1-13B [049] Screams JNC. Preset created by John Cordy
Hey John! Nice video! Thank you! This Grammatico GSG is something! Now I have two channel amp, boost, mid boost in one block! What?! I hope this is the beginning of the new two-channel-in-one-block era I love u, Line 6!❤
Line 6 Helix, and their commitment to regular Updates and Product enhancements, is in my view, the best in the industry by a wide margin. I have never purchased any other product that continues to get better like this! Kudos to the Line 6 team and Yamaha for making this possible. Congrats John in getting your Presets into the 3.6 Update. Well deserved, and a testament to all the great work you've done in educating Line 6 product users like myself. Loved Intro improvisation, and the tones were some of the best ever. The new Dumble Amp sounds magnificent! The addition of the EVM Cab had me picking my jaw off the floor. I saw a video where Dumble said something like: Electro-Voice makes the best sounding guitar speakers. I totally agree, and there is a recent Johan Segeborn video where he demos one, and it is magnificent! I'm thrilled that I'll be able to use an EVM in my HX Stomp. 🎉😎👍
I have played that actual amp and others he has made. I can ateat they are the best sounding amps bar none. Anything John makes is superb with bloom characteristics no other amps I have played have.
Can’t believe how awesome this amp and your presets sound! Switched my main clean preset for tomorrow’s gig to your factory preset, excited to hear it loud!
I just got my HX stomp yesterday and updated to 3.5, this morning I’m already on 3.6 now good timing! Loving it so far it’s SO MUCH effects / cabs to choose from and build patches. Just finished my first self made patch after trying all the built in ones.
Congrats on the presets! You definitely deserve it. I've been a Line 6 spider user since I started, I had no real idea how to begin researching amps when I was playing. I stopped for 7 years, and just started picking it up again this year, and no channel has given me more hesitance to leave the Line 6 modeling family than yours. You make me want a HX Stomp as my next step up rather than a tube amp (and that's hard as I've been nerding out about amps lately)
I have a pod go and looking to upgrade. The reason that I'm going helix is the hardware is still current (I will never need more DSP), looks every bit as good as newer models (headrush prime) but the software support is the real key for me. I liken it to PS4, same box for 10 years but pushed onwards by software upgrades.. Great business model.
I'm excited to try the Grammatico! For my main tone I use the litigator because it is just so versatile. It'll be cool to try this one out. Thanks for the walkthrough and the amount of work you put into these videos.
That’s awesome Line 6 is featuring you on the Stock presets 🤩 that was one of my complains is the tones out of the box weren’t great so nice to see them improving that! Congrats John you deserve it!
Sounds great! Congratulations on getting your preset(s) into this Helix update. As far as the legendary tan Dumble, it’s been on at least one other amp designer’s bench. Several years ago Bludotone had access to it and their ‘Ojai’ clone was the result. I’ve read comments in various places that this may have created a bit of a rift between Robben and Dumble, but don’t know if it’s true. The Ojai can sound very close to the tan Dumble when dialed in- probably a reason Fractal has a model of it. Seems the Grammatico can too and it’s wonderful Line 6 has modeled it (the tan dumble and other info seems gone from their site?) Would love to hear it through a (model of) a G-1265 equipped cab if Line 6 has one. Cheers!
Congrats on the factory presets John! Well deserved after all the work you've put into making the Helix world better. If I manage to sound reasonably close to my physical rig it's because of things I borrowed from your videos and your presets, so thanks for that. I just put together my personal Grammatico preset, lightly based on your factory preset. Still toying with the overall EQ but I'm liking it. 😊
Thought I was listening to Robben Ford and the Blue Line for a second at the beginning, you nailed the sound and playing. Also love the subtle humour of the matching Grammatico outfit.
Having owned a helix produkt allmost since it came out, this is the first time, I have made a great patch without tweaking the hell out of it. Just chose a cab and changed the mics. Nice one.
DAMN !!! I was waiting for my payday Friday to order a Helix Floor having been watching what you do with them. I was hovering due to it being an 8 year old unit. I also took a long time to forgive Line 6 for dumping support for the Firehawk. I finally make up my mind to jump and Andertons have just today just bumped the price up by £50 !!
Ita a really great model. Interesting to back-to-back it against the litigator, which was a decent model, but it shows just how much L6 have improved their model making.
Might be my new favorite amp. So articulate. It reminds me of getting my Bad Cat Black Cat 30R a few years ago. I felt like it forced me to be a better player because it didn’t hide my sloppiness.
Line 6 support is astonishing. Would absolutely purchase another line 6 product again. They really need to come out with a power amp that can be used into a guitar cab.
I've just downloaded your presets and those pads are absolutely unreal. Changed my Helix journey mate. I have a yin yoga class tomorrow and I'm providing sound. These will be getting used. Wow
Awesome tone but … because of the awesome playing .. with the bridge pickup it reminds me .. Eric Johnson mood and play .. I love the way you master you tone through your phrases !
Thank you Line6 for the new stuff! I am still waiting for a good Rotary effect.. sorry but it's not there. Have to keep my strymon lex, it's the only extra pedal i need to bring in addiction to my helix floor.. maybe next download..
awesome playing and tones, as always. Has the folder link changed recently? I paid for the folder and received your link but can not find anything created after than 7 Jan 2023. thanks
Bang for your buck it's Hard to beat the HX stomp.. This patch is one of the best I've heard.. getting choked up because mine got stolen 😢.. been debating on whether I should replace it.. was very quick and convenient ..This post makes me miss it ..smh
I'm amazed by what Line 6 is doing with their new kit. Its great to see (hear) as my brother-outlaw bought a Spider when it dropped and listening to that thing was like chewing on tin foil.
The "MK. IV" line of Spider amps have some passable bedroom tones if you work for them, but its A LOT of tweaking. Definitely feels like a good intro to modeling in a small single package, but its by no means giggable.
Now the litigator plays like a toy 😁 I cannot achieve the liquid solo toner, seems i cannot compress in the right way for very high gain...but i am enjoing a lot this however! Good job
good vid bro, very clear!! ..question .. ¿ Does version 3.6 bring improvements to the audio or IRs that already came or did they only add amplifiers and new modules?
Thanks for this video keeping me up to date and with your presets on the update they got a great deal. When will you be updating the Eric Johnson presets Thanks and have a great day.
Help, I'm between a HX stomp xl and a fm3 , honestly, dunno which one to choose, both units sound amazing! It will be great to read Your opinions, comments, point of view. Thanks.
FM3 sounds and feels a little better, while the Stomp XL has more switches (better for live use) and is easier to proagram/edit on the fly w/o using a DT editor.
What's the name of this preset? I've just bought all your presets. Question in regards to one of patches in exp patches. It says "the ir associated with the following blocks in this preset could not be found in the impulse library"
Thanks for a great demo and video John... I wonder what pedal might give a similar sound? Btw, the Vox VX range of hybrid amps have models of both the clean and overdrive channels of a Dumble... and they sound pretty good to me, cheers.
I feel really stupid. I have HX Edit, and it looks nothing like yours. How do you get to the "amp view" and get access to the switches etc?? I see 3 Grammatico amps, and none of them is called a GSG. HELP...
Did u reset by holding down the 2 footswitches as described in the notes? Could someone bundle up the new factory presets and get them to you? I think so

If you like updates...
Let me tell you about my buddy Fractal lol
Fractal, Line6 updates once by months !! The case of 3.5 to 3.6 is the closest one !!
Fractal updates almost Weekly !!
I own a Stomp !!
Nah Fractal are. I have used Line 6 products since the original pod.
I just started using this GSG model, and I'm blown away by how full and rich it sounds. At the moment, I think it's definitely the best model in the Helix. It's incredible the way Line 6 keeps adding value to my now pretty old helix unit.
So happy to see your presets in the update. You've done so much to promote the Helix, I'm glad to see that recognized by Line6.

So amazing JNC you continue to inspire and make awesome content on all platforms. Congratulations
Yea, that is pretty cool 👍🏽
I was gonna wait to download this update, but then I heard there’s JNC presets in it. Getting it now.
Is this in the helix after doing the update?
@@shredacuda - it is.
Hey John! Nice video! Thank you!
This Grammatico GSG is something! Now I have two channel amp, boost, mid boost in one block! What?! I hope this is the beginning of the new two-channel-in-one-block era

this channel deserves to have 10x the subs. one of the very best guitar youtube channels around
11:18, very cool tone!!!!
I have played that actual amp and others he has made. I can ateat they are the best sounding amps bar none. Anything John makes is superb with bloom characteristics no other amps I have played have.
Maybe I'm just hearing with my eyes, but this sounds incredible. Thanks for the deep dive. So cool to see your presets in the Factory Presets!
Can’t believe how awesome this amp and your presets sound! Switched my main clean preset for tomorrow’s gig to your factory preset, excited to hear it loud!
5 minutes in and I've already got a great sound from this amp, well done Line 6 !!!
Wow, that really sings, that sounds awesome man. Congrats on your preset added :D
I just got my HX stomp yesterday and updated to 3.5, this morning I’m already on 3.6 now good timing!
Loving it so far it’s SO MUCH effects / cabs to choose from and build patches. Just finished my first self made patch after trying all the built in ones.

I'm a big Dumble fan too, really looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for the video John
He was so excited, his playing shows it.
Sounds wonderful, downloading as I type. Many congratulations on getting your presets in there, well deserved!
Wow. Loved your playing in the opening. Outstanding.
Lets go!~ Preset designer. As always, incredible playing and sound.
Love to come here and hear the news!! thank you John!
All of your presets are really great, but this one is really special. Congrats on your preset being included
FYI, PAB is Preamp Boost. I love this update, very Dumble like. I'm sure Alexander would have approved...Congrats on your presets they sound great.
Congratulations John. These are fantastic!
Love that intro groove JNC. the sound is even better than normal. Great production on that song. More llike that please. You rock dude.
I have a pod go and looking to upgrade. The reason that I'm going helix is the hardware is still current (I will never need more DSP), looks every bit as good as newer models (headrush prime) but the software support is the real key for me. I liken it to PS4, same box for 10 years but pushed onwards by software upgrades.. Great business model.
Congratulations! Both of your presets sound great! My two new favorites :)
I'm excited to try the Grammatico! For my main tone I use the litigator because it is just so versatile. It'll be cool to try this one out. Thanks for the walkthrough and the amount of work you put into these videos.
Nice playing and tone! I’m hearing some Larry Carlton influence here in both!
That’s awesome Line 6 is featuring you on the Stock presets 🤩 that was one of my complains is the tones out of the box weren’t great so nice to see them improving that! Congrats John you deserve it!
YES!!! Awesome tones, tunes, and touch!
Love your humor. Congrats on making the presets list. They will have you do more presets based on feedback which will be great. Appreciate you.
Congrats for having your presets in the Helix! Great work, they sound amazing, especially for a strat guitar :)
Sounds great! Congratulations on getting your preset(s) into this Helix update.
As far as the legendary tan Dumble, it’s been on at least one other amp designer’s bench. Several years ago Bludotone had access to it and their ‘Ojai’ clone was the result.

Sounds incredible. This is on my weekend to-do list.
Stoked about this update. If it was only the Grammatico and the new Rotary.
Thought I was listening to Robben Ford and the Blue Line for a second at the beginning, you nailed the sound and playing. Also love the subtle humour of the matching Grammatico outfit.
Having owned a helix produkt allmost since it came out, this is the first time, I have made a great patch without tweaking the hell out of it. Just chose a cab and changed the mics. Nice one.
Damn....that sounds absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to do the update this weekend and jump in.
Congratulations, John!
DAMN !!! I was waiting for my payday Friday to order a Helix Floor having been watching what you do with them.
I was hovering due to it being an 8 year old unit.
I also took a long time to forgive Line 6 for dumping support for the Firehawk.
I finally make up my mind to jump and Andertons have just today just bumped the price up by £50 !!
Happy to see your presets in the update, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Congrats man! Great sounding presets. I’ve learned everything about my helix from you! God bless!🎸
Ita a really great model. Interesting to back-to-back it against the litigator, which was a decent model, but it shows just how much L6 have improved their model making.
I was waiting for the thumbnail image: 'one of the best amps in the helix' 😂 . Great video man!
All other amps sounds improved in 3.60. I noticed they add subtle depth to every models.🎉
Now I can finally get that Eric Johnson tone I've been after
Hey John - congrats on getting your two presets in there. Lovely sounds, and I usually hate presets. Well done!
Wow, lots of stuff going on with that model. Thanks for the rundown.
Wow! John...that is amazing
Might be my new favorite amp. So articulate. It reminds me of getting my Bad Cat Black Cat 30R a few years ago. I felt like it forced me to be a better player because it didn’t hide my sloppiness.

Awesome tone but … because of the awesome playing .. with the bridge pickup it reminds me .. Eric Johnson mood and play ..
I love the way you master you tone through your phrases !
Top!!
Amazing colour coordination in the thumbnail
Wow, that sounds great. Thanks
Congratulations on your presets going into Helix 3.60
Great news, but more importantly - great playing, John. Very tasty phrasings and licks.
Excellent phrasing in the opener
Thank you Line6 for the new stuff! I am still waiting for a good Rotary effect.. sorry but it's not there. Have to keep my strymon lex, it's the only extra pedal i need to bring in addiction to my helix floor.. maybe next download..
Getting major Trey Anastasio vibes from this tone.
Awesome!!! Maybe, I can finally remove my "Extra Special" pedal, from my fx loop🙏🏻 This makes me very happy!
this sounds better than the Line 6 official channel's demo of this amp.
Sick audio quality
awesome playing and tones, as always.
Has the folder link changed recently? I paid for the folder and received your link but can not find anything created after than 7 Jan 2023. thanks
I really like the zen drive reminds me eric johnson?
U are the master of the tone congrats John ......
Great sounds are always better when served with dry British humour!! (..best day of your life! 😆😆😆😆)
Bang for your buck it's Hard to beat the HX stomp.. This patch is one of the best I've heard.. getting choked up because mine got stolen 😢.. been debating on whether I should replace it.. was very quick and convenient ..This post makes me miss it ..smh

Awesome playing (again!) How does the Grammitco compare with the Bonamassa Dumble in the Tonex?
please add the tightest most aggressive tone possible on a helix. thank you. be the Goat.
Now the litigator plays like a toy 😁
I cannot achieve the liquid solo toner, seems i cannot compress in the right way for very high gain...but i am enjoing a lot this however! Good job
Sick jam, uber-dynamic
good vid bro, very clear!! ..question .. ¿ Does version 3.6 bring improvements to the audio or IRs that already came or did they only add amplifiers and new modules?
Well Done !
Nice tune man ❤
Are your SCREAMS presets automatically uploaded to the HX stomp after the update or do I have to install them? If so where do I find them?
you've said the same thing about the litigator, Jonathan.
Just bought the presets, but there's no 3.6 folder. Where's the Grammatico patch you were demonstrating?
Thanks for this video keeping me up to date and with your presets on the update they got a great deal.
When will you be updating the Eric Johnson presets
Thanks and have a great day.
Help, I'm between a HX stomp xl and a fm3 , honestly, dunno which one to choose, both units sound amazing! It will be great to read Your opinions, comments, point of view.
Thanks.
FM3 sounds and feels a little better, while the Stomp XL has more switches (better for live use) and is easier to proagram/edit on the fly w/o using a DT editor.
Your patch sounds amazing! Great job! Btw what drum vst are you using on the intro track?
Oh this sounds sweet! Will this patch be updated to your preset pack?
What's the name of this preset? I've just bought all your presets. Question in regards to one of patches in exp patches. It says "the ir associated with the following blocks in this preset could not be found in the impulse library"

I feel really stupid. I have HX Edit, and it looks nothing like yours. How do you get to the "amp view" and get access to the switches etc?? I see 3 Grammatico amps, and none of them is called a GSG. HELP...
I did the update and can't find it
I can't believe the news today...🦄💯🎉
Great video is this in your Helix and HX presets pack?
@John Nath Cordy how would you compare it to the Tonex model of the ODS (this one has become my main amp) ?
Thanks for the great vid again ;-)
Those settings don't sound even close to that on my rig! direct into Apollo twin Helix LT
What PA are you using with a Helix?
tens o present do gramatico GSG?
Sounds great!. Does this come with the 3.6 update for the HX stomp or is it just the full Helix?
Mine updated… but didn’t load the new presets? Really wanted the JC ones to try…😢
you have to reset the device
Yes, did that at the time … tried it a few times… just won’t load the new ones. Can they be downloaded separately? Thx
Did u reset by holding down the 2 footswitches as described in the notes? Could someone bundle up the new factory presets and get them to you? I think so
Presets for the new ??!
