In this video I dive into discussing pretty much everything you need to know about using impulse responses with your Line 6 Helix/HX Stomp. I receive a lot of questions about IRs, how to load them, which type of block to use etc. and in this video I attempt to answer all of them. If you like the IRs you hear in the video, you can grab them from the Line 6 Marketplace from the link below:

You are always the most clear and complete in your explanations and testing. That is appreciated for use newbies.

I like to use IRs in parallel and sometimes one cab in parallel with an IR. Thanks for all your guidance. I never thought that I'd one day be so well versed in Helix and it is all down to your great channel ! Superb work.

Great A/B! Thank you so much! "A" definitely sounded better to my ears, and very grateful to be able to discern. The 1024 just had a twinge of "harshness" on the higher pitches (even tho "there's no difference" according to the plugin)... I'm sold on the 2048! Sure hope 2024 brings us loads of additional processing power! Time for an upgrade from everyone... it's been a few moons with the same hardware now... let's get a move on here! Peace

what I really like most about are simple pitch effects are very nostalgic Vintage which reminds me of my first ZOOM 505 II

My favorites IRs are from Celestion, ML Sound Lab and York Audio, just like you said, I prefer stock cabs instead of IRs though, my way to go with IRs is like this, I will try the stock cab, mess around with mics and position, and then, If I am not completely satisfied with my tone I will try an IR from any of those companies I mentioned

Thank you Jason so much for coming back to the Helix. You drift a lot.

Thanks for this video. Diving into IR's but overwhelmed by the number of files (with diff mic positions) I got when buying some IR's. When purchasing or buying your IR's, I hope you made a selection? TX !!

Hey Jason ! Awesome video as usual ! But the biggest question i have on this video is : How do you ensure that the modifications you make on Helix Native are done in real time on your Cubase recording ? Like for example at 4:15 when you remove the impulse response and it changes the sound of your guitar recording on Cubase automatically ?

This is top tier fascinating. I really couldn't hear a difference. If its that negligible for (presumably) most people, you have to wonder what the point of the 2048 really is . A couple of points, i thought hx irs were 16 bit? And, isn't it standard practise to run 2 cabs parallel anyway? In series seems to not sound great. Excellent vid Jase, very helpful and knowledge expanding - i for one will just opt for the lower rez irs and save dsp to supplement with stock cabs :-D

Thanks for being so thorough and scientific. I haven't used any IR's on my HX Stomp, as I wanted to learn how to dial in tones myself, and your videos have helped me a lot to achieve that goal. On the first example in the blind test, I thought I might have heard a little more bass in the 1024 IR, but didn't notice any difference in the subsequent examples. I've been really diving into the Stock Cab High and Low Cut settings in the Stomp, and the do make a big difference. Even though the low E on the guitar is about 83 Hz, turning down the Low Cut below that frequency can significantly affect how full and bassy my guitar sounds.

To do a fair comparison of IR length, you would need a very staccato sample. The IR is basically a reverb trail, so if you start playing another note while the previous one is decaying, you're not gonna hear it. That said, for the IRs I use I can't see any benefit for the longer IR.

Hi Jason, I've seen some videos about "new" tone matched IRs. What is the difference between traditional IRs and tone matched IRs?

@JasonSadites 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Pablo, there is no difference between "traditional" IRs and "tonematched" IRs. It is being used as a bit if a marketing catch word. I just did a very detailed video about the topic and show how easy they are to make, but they are just still IRs. You can check the video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f96ooMaT29bZZ2g.html
